Lemon Juice (applied topically)

Okay so I'm one of those kids who thinks that home remedies only work for people with light "acne." I always believed if you have real hormonal acne, you will need a prescription. Well, I've been on doxycycline for 2 and a half months with little results. It wasn't until I started applying lemon juice to my skin that my face has completely cleared. I wish I could have taken a before and after picture because my face looks amazing. I hope that the lemon juice will fade my hyperpigmentation. If not, I ordered a TCA peel that might do the trick.

the most easiest and convenient method for getting rid of acne scars and pigmentation...just takes a while but works wonderfully! I have been using it for like all my life, its better than any other expensive products and its natural , so no side effects!

When I heard about lemon, I thought why not try it? It's cheap. And natural. And I've heard that it works. And it does! Every night I was my face with a gentle cleansing wash( I use Purpose). I then cut off a slice of the lemon and gently rub it on to me face. Some people may experience burning or itchiness but what I do if right after I put it on, I sit in front of a fan and the fan dries it on my face and then it soothes my skin. Then go to bed...wake up...SHAZAM! It helps! My skin feels tighter, softer, and the acne has gotten smaller and less red.

I wash my face morning and night with a well-known mild liquid cleanser followed by freshly squeezed lemon juice on a cotton ball. I have been using this method for almost 6 months and I have had no new acne. My skin is smoother and more even-toned. It has improved my rosacea redness somewhat, but not cured it. I am a 32 year-old female and I have tried MANY products over the years. This method works best for me. My skin is combination dry/oily. This method may be too harsh if your skin is very dry. TIPS: Add some of the extra lemon juice to a glass of water, or you can store the freshly squeezed lemon juice in a small glass jar. It keeps for a couple of days. I've also heard it helps your skin to drink the lemon juice. I tried this, but found it too bitter-tasting to do long-term.

Topically Remember to use a fresh lemon everyday, the minerals that make lemons so great are only good a few minutes after you cut the lemon, same with any fruit! When applied topically will sting really bad (so what, well worth it) and kill all bacteria on face, give it about a full week and face will be clear. I use it after shaveing with cuts and stuff, it hurts so bad I have to jump up and down (at this point I don't care about pain, I just want a clear face) Acid Wear The really white spots that start to show up on the bottom portions of your teeth, if you have seen them they are acid wear...always drink it with a straw, then take some water and swish it around after to take extra precaution. Remember to drink all juices with a straw as they are pretty much acids. Photosensitvity: Don't wear in sun, it will double your skin damage! Apply it on face, leave on over night and rinse off in morning. I wear throughout day and just stay out of sun as much as p

i was suffering acne for about 6 years.. ive tried almost every product, although they cleared up my acne they still come back worse than before!! on my 6th year of suffering of acne my face is very red because of acne scars,, and new bigger acnes are forming on every part of my FACE!! a friend of mine told me to try a lemon just squeeze it on a cotton and leave it overnight.. i noticed a difference after a week..!! my acnes are starting to dry up and i noticed that i dont get that oily skin anymore.. its a miracle and now im using it for a year.. i wished that i cud turn back time and use this thing that cleared up my skin so that i cud have avoid those perma scars...

I wash my face in the shower in the morning and at night. I then put the lemon juice on my face after my shower , because the steam from the shower opens your pores.It does work, very well. I love it!

I hope it will completely fade my acne scar

I only recently started hearing about lemon juice being used topically, and I decided to try it out for myself when I began seeing no hope in clearing up the dark marks and acne scars left behind by my previous breakouts. I bought a lemon at the local grocer (really, it's just that easy!) and began applying it by q-tip right after my morning wash (before toning and applying spot treatment) and right before bed. Within 3 or 4 days I had already began seeing the big red splotches fade away (not dramatically, but they definitely went from dark brown and bright red to maybe two or three shades lighter), and within a week they were reduced to almost half of their original size. Now, to be fair, I still have slight scarring and marks but they are WAY lighter and smaller than before I began using lemon juice. I also tried using the lemon to cure a large cystic pimple that appeared while testing this method, and while it didn't really clear up the spot, it did make it less noticeable and red. I, for sure, would recommend at least trying this method if you want to rid yourself of acne scars or dark marks. PROS: - It reduced the redness of ongoing acne and acne scarring / dark marks - It smells good! - It seems to dry out skin (if using more than just a dab on a q-tip or cotton ball) which can be good for beginning to clear up acne CONS: - It's drying if used in excess - It makes your skin *extremely* sensitive to sunlight, avoid going in direct sun if you have lemon juice on your face! It can actually increase skin problems if you do (such as freckles and more dark marks / acne).

I use epsom salt to help actual acne, and lemon juice for scars. It really makes a difference with scars. My scars drastically improved within a week, it was crazy.
