Few other foods capture the feeling of summer better than citrus fruits. With their succulent flesh and tangy juices, oranges, lemons, limes, grapefruits, and more burst with vitamins, antioxidants, and just plain sun-kissed goodness. Citrus is fabulous for your skin for the same reasons. As a bonus for those with oily complexions, ingredients derived from citrus fruits also make great astringents by helping to reduce shine and the visibility of pores enlarged by overactive sebaceous glands. They can even sometimes contribute an enlivening natural aroma that energizes your senses.

Look for these citrus-derived ingredients in DHC products:

Lemon extract and citrus extract
You’ll find lemon extract in Balancing Lotion and
citrus extract in Blotting Lotion. Both toners target excessive oiliness and aid in balancing your skin’s pH level.

Citric acid
Look for it in a bevy of DHC body and hair care items, including Mild Body Shampoo, Imperial Green Tea Shower Gel, Purifying Charcoal Shower Gel, Head Shampoo, and Head Conditioner. It delivers pH-balancing properties and invigorating freshness.

Citrus unshiu peel extract
Also known as Satsuma mandarins, citrus unshiu are popular in Asia where their dried peel is used as an ingredient in many skincare products for its toning capabilities. Look for it in our Toning Body Tonic and Cleansing Foam.
