Citric Acid is an AHA that is frequently used primarily as a pH adjuster in cosmetics.
At low amounts it mainly fine-tunes pH rather than exfoliating. At higher acid levels and the right low pH it can contribute exfoliation, but the ingredient list alone cannot tell which role dominates.
Information approach
Consumer-friendly summaries are informed by established cosmetic ingredient references such as INCIDecoder and Paula’s Choice Ingredient Dictionary, while avoiding turning ingredient-level evidence into medical claims about the finished product.
