The consensus among skin care experts and Dermatologists is that a vitamin C is an essential component of beneficial rejuvenation routines.

Clinical information on citric acid for skin care treatments focuses on vitamin C which is considered to be a very powerful antioxidant that not only stimulates collagen production but contains the skin damaging activities of free radicals.

Consequently, citric acid for skin care treatments can actually improve the health of skin cells which in turn promotes healing and the ability of the skin to protect itself against a variety of harmful environmental factors.

• Increasing collagen production
• Significant antioxidant healing properties
• Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
• Minimizes the appearance of scars
