Lemon Juice (applied topically)

buy some fresh lemons. cut one in half, squeeze the juice from one half onto a cotton ball and throw the rest away, or eat it, whatever. put the other half in a ziplock bag in the fridge for tomorrow. rub the juice all over your face before bed and leave it there, even though it will burn!! the next morning, wash with johnson's head to toe baby wash. repeat every day. that's it. only those 2, simple, cheap products, and i'm clearer than any acne product, otc or prescription, ever made me. do not try to add in any other acne products. they will just make you dry and flaky and not improve anything. the lemon juice is all you need! you can start out just doing it every other day or every third day, but once your skin is used to it, be sure to be consistent and do it every day! if your skin gets irritated or dry at first, try some aveeno baby lotion, aloe vera gel, or a little bit of cortisone cream on top of the lemon juice.

Worked great just have to stop being lazy and put it on my skin. I have light African American skin, it works perfectly for me it cleans my skin and when it's on it makes me feel so refresh, I take it off after 30 min (I used to wear it all night but it's pretty uncomfortable.) I had a zit on my face just this week I mixed the lemons and milk put inside the microwave (just like 5 to 10 seconds make it warm.) Kept it on for 30 min washed it and that zit washed right off (I know gross right lol.) but it's gone completely clear it's amazing what a little lemon and milk can do. It worked for me but reading some of these comments it seems not to work for everyone maybe they didn't use it long enough. I don't have much breakout to begin with though just a few dark marks that aren't too noticeable just mainly doing this to lighten my skin a bit. I also put coco butter on my face afterwards feels great really does.

I apply lemon topically as well as drinking it in water every day. Since starting this treatment, my scars have drastically lightened and reduced and I have seen the amount of acne I get reduce as well. It has really helped so much. Also, just drinking more water with the lemon in it has added a new glow to my skin. My routine is: wake up in the morning and drink water warmed up with half a fresh lemon squeezed into it. Then, I drink lemon water throughout the day and apply it topically to my scars and blemishes both when I wake up and before bed.

I've been using this for almost a month now.. Pure fresh lemon juice and it has worked wonders for me. For the first week, The burning was almost unbearable but after about two weeks, The burning isn't half as bad and ive definitely noticed that my acne marks are fading.. and quickly. Now im about at a month and I don't feel any burn at all and use it on my face twice a day. It hasn't dried out my skin or irritated it. I'd recommend this to anyone. You just have to deal with the stinging for the first two weeks. It's worth it in the end though. How quickly my marks faded.. it amazed me. They are almost completely gone. My skin was pretty bad, I only broke out on my cheeks and this has helped a lot with preventing marks and drying out my breakouts. They would be gone within 3 or 4 days.

I have a lot of acne marks on both sides of my cheeks. I have tried desperately for almost two years to find a product/treatment that can improve the appearance of my acne marks. I stumbled across this review page & was surprised at the amount of positive reviews the lemon treatment has receive. I decided to give it a try. I used fresh lemon juice from a lemon & diluted it with water. Applied it to my acne marks & existing acne using a cotton swab. Honestly, it stings the skin but it is bearable. I leave it on for an hour & rinse it off with warm water. Gently pat my face with a clean towel & applied a decent amount of moisturiser. The first few days of the treatment left me with a rash on my cheek but it cleared up & left my skin strangely smooth & soft. I guess my skin was trying to get used to the lemon. Fortunately, my acne marks have faded a lot after 4 weeks of using lemon juice & my acne went away instantly & only came back once in a while. When I do spot a new pimple, I apply the juice & made sure that I never pop it. I am sure of it fading my acne marks because I took a photo of my cheek after each day of using this treatment & results are visible. Patience is key!

I had been hearing about using lemon juice for acne for years. Never tried it before until 2 nights ago and I can honestly say I will be using lemon juice faithfully :) . Here's what I did: Bought a bottle of lemon juice (the one that looks like a lemon and has a green top), washed my face with baby soap, patted my face dry with towel, then put some lemon juice in a small cup n diluted it just a bit with some water (so it wouldnt sting too bad lol) then got 3 cotton balls and dipped em in the cup one at a time and rubbed it on my face. Left it on overnight, woke up next mornin and could definitly tell a huge difference. I was hella skeptical about using it at first cuz I didnt want my face to break out any more than it was, but lets be honest, if the acne bothers you its worth tryin!

try it. its like $0.38 so its not as though your wasting your money!!! I do my normal routine wash my face with a cleanser then cut a small piece of a fresh lemon and squeeze a little on a cotton ball and gently rub it on my face. I usually let it stay on my face for 5-10 minutes. its gonna feel a little sticky, but once you rinse it off with cool water all you end up feeling is refreshed. Its important to put a moisturizer on afterward. im someone who has sensitive skin and is allergic to a lot, but the lemon did nothing but help me.

Try this!!!!!! I was skeptical but my dad urged me to try it before I visited the Dr. who would most likely prescribe antibiotics or some dreadful chemicals. It itched sooooo much the first time i tried it and i was desperate to wash it off but i kept going and now i hardly notice the itchiness. Just cut a thin slice of lemon and rub it onto your face and leave it on for around 10 minutes and you'll notice the difference to your skin in days. I feel so much more confident now and don't feel the need to cake my face with makeup!

After trying what seems like everything, I tried putting lemon juice on my forehead. It acts as an astringent, so it dries up the excess oils on my face. After a day I saw results. IT WORKS REALLY WELL AND EVERYONE SHOULD TRY IT! (I used Whole Foods Lemon Juice)

i have had acne for 29 years. i am now acne free. i use benzyl peroxide first. then i wait about 20 minutes and cut the lemon into quarters and use one quarter over my face sqeezing the juice along the way. leave on face for at least 1-2 hours, rinse with cool water and olive oil and WOW! my face cleared in 2 weeks. no more dark spots and i rarely break out. also, go to health store and purchase aloe vera juice(noon) tsp., apple cider vinegar(a.m.) tsp, green tea(evening) cup. i drink each once a day at different times. they detoxify your body and aids in getting rid of acne. no need to take antibiotics. Lemons rock! moisturize and sun block!
