Lemon Juice (applied topically)

its free so why not!

I have very persistent, stubborn acne. It ranges from very mild, to very aggravated. This is not a solution. But by all means, try it. I was like you, fellow reader, spending hours looking through reviews and forums. Staring at myself in the mirror, looking for results. It depressed me, thinking about how much money I had spent on acne products. So I gave this a whirl. It's painful. But, whatever, if it works, who cares? It doesn't. I'm sorry to inform that this isn't it. This is an acid so it can kill bacteria, but only temporarily and this can burn the outer membranes of your skin. If your looking for a real solution, try In Love with Bodycare. Look for it online. I've started using it due to a post I saw on this website. They sent me samples after I asked, and I swear to you, I have tried EVERYTHING. Clearsil, Neutrogena, Mario Badescu, Differin, Clarasonic, Facials, Supplements, Diet Changes, Glycolic Acid, BP, Salycilic Acid, Clean and Clear. I was desperate. So close to going on Accutane once and for all. I know you can benefit from this. My skin is flawless now. Its all natural. TRY IT. PLEASE.

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 remember using this a long time ago and hating how painful it was. My face has finally been clearing from neutrogena's cream cleanser, neutrogena's all in one acne control daily scrub, and tea tree oil :D This is all I use, and for moisture I steam my face because moisturizers break me out. My face is almost 100% clear. The only thing I wanted was my scars gone tea tree oil does this great believe it or not; especially when they're red. It turns them brown and then I can finally get rid of it by lightening it up with hydroquinine to match my skin tone. Weird process huh, but it works amazingly (scars are fading ridiculously fast). So y did I try lemons in the 1st place again? I was going to drink it to clean out my body, it was here so why not try it again right? Thankfully I tested it on a small portion of my skin because omg it burns like crazy. PLEASE TEST IT 1ST IF YOU TRY IT! I then continued with my normal face routine; which is very moisturizing and gentle even without moisturizers. OMG it burned that specific area soo bad. When I used the juice I only dabbed my finger on the lemon and patted it on my face. It still burnt no matter what and today is the day after doing it, and its still ridiculously sensitive to everything, and I don't have sensitive skin at all. Just be careful when using this if u must. Use it gently and watered down. Good luck every1, and check out the products I mentioned; they wont fail u.

I had severe acne which I cleared up with Accutane. However, I was left with lots of dark spots on my face at the end of the course. I've been using lemon on my face once a day and the difference is dramatic :)! Really did wonders to lighten up my skin and make the scars less red and inflamed looking.

I just tried it for the first time and redness on my arms had decreased. I haven't looked at my face yet but it feels cleaner. Definitely an easy option, especially for those that have to get rid of acne fast or have arm/back acne issues. As a teenager here, my mom isn't crazy about buying me face products, and I don't like using what I have on my arms or back. But she didn't mind buying me a few lemons. I'm trying to be able to look good in something sleeveless for a dance, but I'm scared of my arms and back. And yes, I managed to cut my finger on the knife while slicing.

Cheap, effective treatment of acne, definitely worth a try before spending your money on other products. I squeese fresh lemons and apply it undiluted to my face, leaving it on for 15 mins or longer.

I have only been using lemon on my body acne for a few days, but already in less than a week I can definitely see a change. I have had a small patch of a half dozen red bumps on my middle chest for years now, and after applying lemon juice from fresh lemons, once in the morning and once before bed, the redness has reduced a lot, and the bumps have gotten much smaller. The same can be said for my annoying shoulder acne. It's been a problem for many years, and just after this short time, a lot of it has started clearing, or at least reduced in size and redness. I would imagine with further use, it will only get better. I have also used it on my face with pretty good results, but my face is mostly clear from the regimen, so it's not really needed. When used on my face, I still use the regimen, and still use a lot of AHA for moisturizing. When used on the body, I use no moisturizer and it seems to still do fine without making my skill flaky. I'm guessing the natural citrus oils might help with that. Overall, it's for sure worth a try to others with moderate acne. I gave it a 5/5 simply because it's such a cheap product, and if they don't get used for this, you can make lemonade.

Its worth a try. it could be the answer to your prayers. Almost every home has.

It helps with red marks, and it does so fairly quickly. I have only started applying lemon a week ago but I can already see results. My red marks are fading a little bit and it feels like my redness is not as bad. I squeeze fresh lemon into a small plastic container then add a bit of water to dilute it (50-50). I take a cotton pad, dip it then gently apply it to my entire face and neck. It doesn't sting at first, it takes maybe a minute and it lasts about another minute. I leave it on for 15-45 minutes then rinse with water. I try to do it twice a day, but usually do it only at night. I follow with my serum. I'm not giving it 5 stars yet because I haven't been using it long enough to know for sure it's working... PLEASE TRY IT! It's cheap and will probably give you good results within less than a month! It's totally worth it.
