The centripetal force, the action, is balanced by a reaction force, the centrifugal ( center-fleeing ) force. The two forces are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. The centrifugal force does not act on the body in motion; the only force acting on the body in motion is the centripetal force.

No, centrifugal force is not the force of reaction of centripetal force because action and reaction never act on the same body.
