Citric Acid is an AHA derived from citrus fruits (think oranges, lemons, and limes!).

Far better than I expected
When I bought this eye moisturizer, I was only hoping for a slightly fresher, more awake look. I didn't expect my dark circles, which have been with me eversince, to becoome this much less visible and almost vanish. Love it! 🧡 It also doesn't irritate my otherwise sensitive skin around the eyes. I'm using it on a daily basis in my morning routine and am very happy with the results. PS I'm keeping it in the refrigerator for an extra cooling and depuffing effect.
