## Questions and answers

### What does limonene do for the skin?

Limonene is a fragrance ingredient found in various skincare products that provides a citrus scent. Because it is a known skin sensitizer, it may cause irritation or allergic reactions in some individuals.

### How do you use limonene?

Limonene is a fragrant compound found in essential oils and cosmetics, often used to impart a citrus scent to skincare products. Because it can be sensitizing, it is typically included in low concentrations in rinse-off or leave-on formulations, but should be used with caution if you have sensitive skin.

### Should you use limonene in the morning or at night?

Limonene may be used in either your morning or evening routine, depending on personal preference and how your skin reacts to it. As with any citrus-derived ingredient, using it in the morning should always be paired with a broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect your skin from potential sun sensitivity.

### Can you use limonene every day?

Yes, you can use limonene every day as long as your skin tolerates it well. Because it is a strong fragrance compound and potential sensitizer, it may cause irritation with daily use if you have sensitive skin.

### Does limonene cause purging or irritation?

Limonene may cause irritation for some skin types, especially if the product is not formulated carefully. It is unlikely to cause purging.

### Which skin types is limonene best for?

Limonene may help oily or acne-prone skin, such as when using The Body Shop [Tea Tree Oil](https://lovi.care/skincare/sa/ingredients/tea-tree). Lovi rates the fit for this ingredient as Average.
