I am light skinned. I used diluted lemon essential oil for several months on some old facial discoloration. There was no change.

How long you used it for and did it lighten it Atall? If so by how many shades and which ethnicity are you?thanks
In my experience, it does lighten skin slightly, but not dramatically. Lemon is extremely acidic, so repeated application of lemon juice may dry out your skin and make it tight and flaky. Also, if you do decide to try lemon to lighten your skin, remember to use sunscreen if you go outside, since lemon can make the skin photosensitive. Good luck!
In theory yes it does, however do be careful with how much you use as it can make your skin irritable and sensitive to the sun. In my experience, applying lemon and honey on my face in the morning helps radiate my face and gives a beautiful glow. I have a dark skin tone, like a medium brown and applying lemon does, over time, make my skin vaguley lighter
