When you want to get the best benefits of vitamin c in a toner which is best? one that has ascorbic acid or with citric acid?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Little difference: I don't believe the present of ascorbic acid or citric acid would make much difference on your skin aside from being a marketing ploy. Having said that, a mildly acidic lotion or soap is usually better for people with eczema vs mildly alkaline ones.
