How do the AHA acids and citrus ingredients affect skin sensitivity and sun protection?

C+ CITRUS POWER MITSELLAARVESI 245ML

This micellar water includes lime-derived AHA (alpha hydroxy acid) fruit acids. AHAs work on the skin's surface to exfoliate dead cells, which can reveal fresher skin but also temporarily increases the skin's sensitivity to ultraviolet radiation. Because of this, it is strongly recommended to apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day after using this product, especially if you are using it in your morning routine. The citrus components, including the double vitamin C complex and Feminello lemon seed oil, add antioxidant benefits and emollient properties, but they do not negate the need for sun protection.

If you have reactive or easily irritated skin, the combination of AHAs and citrus extracts may feel more active than a standard, plain micellar water. It is advisable to introduce the product carefully into your routine. Avoid applying it directly to compromised skin areas, such as open wounds or active breakouts, and keep it away from the immediate eye area to prevent stinging. If you experience persistent redness or irritation, discontinue use and consult a dermatologist.
