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

If you spot Citric Acid near the end of an ingredient list, it's likely there as a pH adjuster rather than an active ingredient.

As an AHA, Citric Acid removes the top layer of skin cells from the newer layer of skin underneath. This helps skin to remove dark spots and look more even.

Effective but messy and greasy
The consistency is runny, but don't try to compensate by using 3 fingers' worth instead of 2--the excess will sit on top of your skin instead of absorbing. It is very effective as an SPF but leaves even my super-dry skin feeling oily. The tint goes on like a light tan, so one colour suits most.

sweet glowy chemical sunscreen with no white cast. i wore it through the summer after skincare without bothering with moisturiser, but when the temp turned a little bit cooler i had to add one. i'm sensitive to niacinamide, otherwise i would have maybe preferred the texture of fave fluid, not even the texture but the idea of skincare based sunscreen, but cannot handle niacinamide on my face everyday or my ace becomes an angry tomato.
but i love this sunscreen. it is very smooth, unlike this review.
