Lemon Juice (applied topically)

I just started using this this week and my acne scars on my face and back are almost completely gone! I love lemon juice because it truly works

I used this last night and I am very satisfied with my results. I found that limes work just as well as lemons but limes have less acid. Which can be a good thing if you dont want your face to sting too much. Right now Im trying some freshly squeezed lemon juice with some olive oil. I put it on my face and it does not itch at all, and the burning isnt very bothersome. I have tried so many natural remedies including urine therapy... Which I stopped using after I found this. My skin is getting VERY clear after this regimen: *Night* -Cleanse with clean and clear 3 in 1 foaming face wash and Clean and clear advantage clenaser (10% BP) -Scrub cleanser on with an eletric toothbrush (Try an eletric toothbrush for your skin it does wonders) -Put on lemon and olive oil mixture *Morning* -Cleanse with Clean and clear 3 in 1 foaming face wash and clean and clear morning burst. -Leave lemon juice on for 15 mins then wash off -Moisturize with clean and clear morning glow. (As you can see I love Clean and Clear products :P) Try this!!! You dont have to spend tons of money on a bunch of chemical products that dont even work!!

Okay, so I first heard about using lemon juice on your skin last summer when i had an ugly tan line i wanted to try to even out. When researching more about it I found that it could help with acne and acne scarring too. So i started using it for a few months and my skin tone was completely even and soo smoothh.. I stopped using it for a few months and just recently started to again because after using proactiv for a couple months my face has A LOT of scarring and dark spots from the BP. So this is what I do: In the morning i wash my face with Clean & Clean Advantage Blackhead Eraser Scrub then i cut maybe a third of a lemon and squeeze it directly onto a cotton round and rub it onto my face, i leave the lemon on my face for about 10-15 minutes and then i wash it off, pat dry, and apply my clean and clear moisturizer. At night i wash my face like in the morning and thenn i apply the lemon and just keep it on my face all night. When i wake up my face feels smooth and soft! I would definitely recommend lemon juice. Its ridiculously cheap and it works great to get rid of acne bacteria and fade acne scars. My face is completely clear of acne and my scarring and dark spots are slowly disappearing.

It works really good! Effective and cheap.

So I'm trying this for the first time now, I don't know if it works. First a cleaned my face, then a put on some alovera cream, then I cut a slice of the lemon and rubb it gently around my face (not eyes and lips). Burns a little, but it's starting to get bether now. I'm gonna leave it over night. (Sorry if my english is bad).

I have had random acne on most of my face for years now and my right cheek has been a WAR zone the whole time. Like many women, I chose to try to cover it up with makeup, at least on the bad cheek where it was the worst. This only makes it worse and I believe it has clogged my pores over time. After using lemon for only a week (fresh sqeezed lemon, use less than a quarter to cover my entire CLEAN face ), I have been "picking out" dried clogs...Gross, but also great! Its like all the dead skin and makeup that accumulated on that bad cheek is "coming up". I had a few days of healing crisis, where a bunch of small witeheads cropped up. Blackheads also looked bigger, but thats because the skin was being exfoliated at a super rate. Since using lemon, I have had NO new pimples, pores are looking smaller and clearer, and maybe in a week or two I will feel confident enough to wear NO makeup on my bad cheek. The red marks are also getting better...Overall Im really happy!

so i started getting acne when i had my first period so around 11 and half years old, i tried: Proactiv ,St ives ,charcoal ,Clearasli ,Neutroena and mutiple diy natural masks and nothing seem to give me the effect i wanted. Now i am 13 and currently in highschool. The things that really made a difference was Crystaderm and of course lemon juice , Both of these made a great impact on me and although i've only been using lemon juice for a couple of weeks i definitely see a difference with how my acne magically disapeared. One downside of both treatments is the short painful sting you can get if its an open wound but it just shows that when the sting stops the germs may have been cleaned out.

For the last year I have been battling with moderate to severe acne. It honestly got to the point to where I was not wanting to leave the house. What 24 year old wants to go out with pimples and disgusting scars on your face? I tried lots of things over the counter: Bio-Oil Vitamin E Almond Oil and various face washes About 3 months ago I finally got the breakouts under control! I still have a few breakouts each month but its a lot better than having a face full. I started using lemon juice about a week ago. I read about it many times but I was afraid to use it because I tend to itch when I eat fruit so I was afraid it would irritate my skin. Luckily, it has worked wonders so far and I am loving the way my skin feels! So I thought I would share my regimen with you! I do this twice a day. I was my face, I have been using just a simple face wash by Garnier After I rinse my face I place a warm wash cloth on my face to open my pores a bit. While my face is air drying I grab the lemons that i have pre-sliced in the fridge. (You don't have to do this but it speeds up the process and I love the coolness on my skin) I then take the lemon slices and rub it directly on my skin, I prefer going in a circular motion. I leave it on for about 15 minutes I then rinse it off- I prefer using cold water to do this close my pores and seal in the goodies! While my skin is still a little damp I dab on a bit of almond oil. I just love how it makes my skin feel! That's all there is to it, so far I have seen the scars lighten a bit. I've had some of the scars for a while so am not rushing the fading process! I also drink only water and I even add lemon to that! Plus I take vitamins everyday that help with my skin. However, I am a lot more confident and I barely wear make up now.

i was getting really clear, but i had all the stupid dark marks on my cheeks. in the past i had tried lemons but didnt really find them effective. then, i read online about it. i learned that THE SECRET IS STEAMING YOUR FACE BEFORE USING! im on day #5 and my marks are so much clearer. i steam with salt water in a pan on the stove. apply with cotton balls. leave on for like 20 min. works for me.

it may help to add a glow to the skin but it doesnt change acne. I found no effect on my acne. I'm going to try sea salt because I had to get some for my new ear piercing (it is awesome). When I went to the beach in I Florida i noticed my skin cleared so i hope this helps; acne can sure be a bother to your life! Oh well we must all live on. Try lemon juice for a bit to see what happens; its not like it can really hurt your skin, and its fairly cheap to get.
