Our take
Is Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Juice a Good Ingredient?
Offers mild surface smoothing from natural acids and sugars, but benefits are subtle and variable; acidity and fruit allergens can irritate sensitive skin. Those gaps in the evidence, plus the added risk, are why it sits at Fair.
What it does
Skin Benefits
Can give skin a fresher look and smoother feel due to natural sugars and gentle acidity. Antioxidant contribution is modest, so results are typically subtle.

Before you use it
Safety
