Citric acid is vitamin C. It's an antioxidant, it improves your immune system, and it's good for you in normal doses. But it does nothing when applied topically (e.g. in a cream).
Oops, Nuff Said is right. I brainfarted. Above answer is still write for vitamin c! :)

Outside of being a flavoring, citric acid is more of a preservative than anything else I can think of.
Citric acid is not vitamin C. Ascorbic acid is. It's also a preservative.
'Nuff said?

It is the acid in oranges. Enough of it is good for you, too much is bad for you. Go to a mom and pop pharmacy and ask how much citric acid should be in your diet.

That is Vitamin C. Vitamin C helps skin to rejuvenate and stay young.
