I have tried everything throughout my life, my previous most successful combination was pro-active with high hormone birth control. This did not clear my face, it only managed the acne, and if I missed a day forget about it. I still had nasty stress breakouts and breakouts before my period. I also had deep scars from acne from 10 years of continual breakouts. About 8 months ago Some crazy old man at the gym made me promise to try out his family secret. He said to wash your face with any soap, let your face dry than rub a lemon on the broken out areas. I as skeptical and told him as much, saying I had fought it all of my life, but I reluctantly agreed. It started working and after going through my first lemon with pulp on my face I thought I'd just try bottled lemon juice. It worked just as well. I moved to instead of hitting target areas just apply it to my whole face after every washing. It continued to work. when I ran out of my pro-active cleanser I got a little nervous but switched to a low cost oatmeal bar soap instead. The improvement continued. When I ran out of my high-hormone birth control I decided to try a lower hormone, my sanity improved and at this point my acne was gone minus a few little tiny tiny white heads... it didn't return. It has been about 8 months with nothing but a light soap, low hormone birth control and applying lemon juice twice a day followed by lotion and my lifelong acne is cleared, not only that but my horrible pock marks are gone. I only have some little red spots where the scars used to be. I honestly cry sometimes when I look in the mirror to think my cure could be so easy after hating looking at myself for so many years. TRY IT!.

Pros:
  • Worked on my lifelong Acne!
  • Clears up scars
  • Prevents major stress breakouts
  • Can supplement *any* soap (I use an oatmeal soap with it)
  • You can miss a couple treatments and you won't kill yourself over it
Cons:
  • it's a little itchy stingy and sticky when you put it on but it goes away. (just let it dry and then use your favorite lotion)

By far the best natural scar treatment, after years of using BP, retin a, and a ton of other harsh chemicals my complexion looked dead and worn out...and I still had acne and a few deep scars. after researching some natural products to fade scars I came across lemons. After a few DAYS there was a noticeable improvement in my scars and my honey complexion, my face seemed to glow. I have sensitive skin so using pure lemon juice without diluting it with water may have made me break out just a little. But I will continue to use if I ever wanted to boost my complexion or fade some dark spots fast, just will dilute with more water.

Pros
  • natural, cheap
  • fades scars fast
  • give you more radiant complexion

Cons
  • may have made me broke out a little when using pure lemon juice
  • for a few weeks
  • I recommend using this product/treatment.

Lemons

It's been exactly one month since I tried using this. I can say that it really is effective when it comes to scars as they lighten way faster than normal (when you don't put anything at all and just leave it as it is). It prevents blackheads from getting worse. It also dries up my pimples at times but I'm not quite sure if it really can prevent pimples and blackheads from forming or coming back. However, it can dry your skin up but that's pretty easy to manage. Overall, I'm happy because it tightens up my skin and heals scars fast.

Pros
  • Lightens scars fast
  • Cheap
  • Tightens up your skin.

Cons
  • Stings
  • Can dry up your skin
  • I recommend using this product/treatment.

Helps with Scars
By on

I use fresh lemon only on my scars, no where else. I rub it in with a cotton pad and leave on for about 15 minutes tops. It has taken me a few weeks to see improvements, but it does help and is cheap. This like every other treatment needs to be used diligently. That means every day!

Pros
  • Cheap
  • Natural Cure
  • Smells great

Cons
  • Takes a long time for results
  • for a few months
  • $ 0.45
  • I recommend using this product/treatment.

Lemon juice is great BUT for those of you having problems with it you should know, its more of an exfoliate. You should put it on for about 10 or 15 minutes at most, that goes for everyone, then wash it and use a natural moisturizer if you need one. Don't leave that juice on your skin, it dries it out, can cause a sore or rash.

Pros
  • good natural exfoliate
  • helps with scars and acne

Cons
  • if left on can dry out skin
  • for about a year
  • $ 0.3
  • I recommend using this product/treatment.
