Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Fruit Oil is the oil from the bergamot orange. This bergamot is native to Italy.

Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Fruit Oil is used to add fragrance to products. It contains limonene, linalool, and linalyl acetate.

The term 'fragrance' is not regulated in many countries. In many cases, it is up to the brand to define this term. For instance, many brands choose to label themselves as "fragrance-free" because they are not using synthetic fragrances. However, their products may still contain ingredients such as essential oils that are considered a fragrance.

When used topically, Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Fruit Oil is a photosensitizer due to its furanocoumarins. Photosensitizers make the skin and eyes much more sensitive to sunlight. Photosensitizers are linked to skin cancer.

However, more cosmetics using Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Fruit Oil are removing the furanocoumarins.

Bergamot oil was also found to have anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antifungal properties.

I've been dealing with acne for a long time. I wanted to start using The Ordinary peeling solution, but I needed a very mild toner with no harsh chemicals to use after chemical peeling. I decided to give this toner a try, and it's the best. I've gone through more than three bottles of this toner. My skin tends to struggle with healing after acne or injuries, often leaving dark spots or pitted acne scars behind. It definitely made them less visible.
My skin also tends to get a bit oily in the middle of the day (I live in a very humid area). If I don't wanna wash it, I can simply use it with a cotton pad to wipe the oil off.
