Hoping someone will help with an immediate solution but just wanted to say that I think I finally have found what is causing my skin to break out!!! I have avoided citric acid for less than a week and already my skin has stopped breaking out (would get painful bumps that appeared out of nowhere) I am so so excited (citric acid is in everything and even vitamins which I long suspected causes me to break out but couldn't figure out what exactly in the vitamin!). Also I never considered citric acid "bad" because its from fruit right? Turns out NOT! The citric acid used in processing food and as preservative is manufactured using a type of mold that is "fed" corn. Please google it because I'm not explaining thoroughly.
