Lemon Juice (applied topically)

I started using this and right on the next day i could see a difference. I have been using this to remove the scars left behind by the acne. For me 3-4 weeks would be enough to remove it completely and a week to fade away the redness. I cut a very thin slice of lemon and apply a drop of honey on it and rub the slice directly on the scars and leave it overnight. I also squeeze the juice out of the lemon slice to my scar and leave it overnight. It has been doing wonders for me. And the best part being a single lemon being used for more than a week.

By far the best natural scar treatment, after years of using BP, retin a, and a ton of other harsh chemicals my complexion looked dead and worn out...and I still had acne and a few deep scars. after researching some natural products to fade scars I came across lemons. After a few DAYS there was a noticeable improvement in my scars and my honey complexion, my face seemed to glow. I have sensitive skin so using pure lemon juice without diluting it with water may have made me break out just a little. But I will continue to use if I ever wanted to boost my complexion or fade some dark spots fast, just will dilute with more water.

I boil a pot of water to open my pores. Sometimes I put tea tree oil for the extra benefits. I apply lemon juice on my face. Let the steam open my pores, allowing the lemon juice to soak in, then I apply lemon juice again on the open pores and steam for a little while longer. I do that a couple times a week. Otherwise, I apply lemon juice a few times throughout the day. My acne has majorly reduced. My face looks less congested. The tiny pimples that werent going away because they were caused by clogged pores are disappearing. My scars are healing faster, but no fast enough. This works for me.

I think its safe to say if you find you have a lemon in the refrigerator- curiosity will get the best of you... and you should let it. I found this blog yesterday night and tried it.... I am so pleased I had to come back and share. I had a few dark spots from past break outs and some light acne that I had already popped and still looked red... My skin is also a bit sensitive and my break outs are a result of the winter months my skin isnt oily enough and face lotions lead to break outs.. summer too much oil. I used an olive oil face wash then applied organic lemon juice/lemon oil rather than cutting up a lemon- Im assuming this lessened the potency and may have been a good thing. My skin is sensitive and i was worried about the acidic nature over drying my skin... Wasn't the case at all. My skin felt balanced- not too dry or oily. And im usually one or the other. This morning I woke up to find my red marks had dulled significantly. I applied the lemon juice again after washing my face- a few hours later im on here leaving this message. its working dramatically fast. my spots look 10x better after two applications. As well as any acne that was starting to surface- my pores look shrunken and bumps are smoothing. If a little lemon juice is the answer to acne- I am going to be ecstatic!

I've only used lemon on my face twice so far and I am already sold. I feel like my skin has a bit of a glow, the texture is smoother and a couple scars have lightened. I will defnitely continue using this. I have been using diluted lemon juice (fresh squeezed by me) as a toner, and rinsing after about 15 mins. But after seeing these results, I'm ready to try rubbing a slice on my face and letting it sit for a while. I also plan to spot treat over night to see if that helps. I had no problem with stinging while using the diuted lemon juice, it did itch however. Be sure to moisturize after use. My reccomendation is try this. Lemons are cheap and can be diluted to accomodate sensitive skin needs. Give it a shot, you've got nothing to lose but bad skin!

I read online that lemon juice helps clear acne so that night i went into my fridge and used one.This is awesome for your skin! It costs like 50 cents compred to $100 acne systems that dont work, it has absoultely no chemicals that are harsh to your skin, and my skin was so soft after i tryed it. I always tell my friends who have to pay for their own acne treatments to try this first because all the stuff i have wasted my money on at the market on brands like clean and clear and neutrogina for my acne never worked. I can't think of one thing that i didnt like about this other then the fact that if you get lemon juice in your eyes it hurts, but who cares! Try this you have nothing to lose and i bet there is a lemon in your fridge right now!

It does work I have been struggling from moderate acne, I barely have any more break outs,

I have VERY sensitive normal/oily skin.I tried this as a toner every night before bed for two weeks even when I diluted the lemon 70% water/ 30% lemon,it still stong!.It does work for acne scaring however since I have such sensitive skin I can't deal with the stinging!,my face turns BEAT red when I use this.Also it donsn't help active pimples.If you have strong (NOT sensitive) skin then this might work for scaring. p.s if you do use this get the pure 100% organic lemon juice,I do notice a difference when I use regular lemon and organic lemon.

I am 25 and never suffered from acne until I hit 21.. My problem area was my cheeks. For years I tried everything, I even went to a dermatologist and they prescribed me topical medication and pills. It did no good for me.. I started to do some research on natural home remedies for acne and every website i went through mentioned lemon..I looked at the cons and the only one that was mentioned was going out in the sunlight with the lemon juice on your face would give your skin some discoloration..But thats common sense.. so I gave it a try..Within 2 days the redness disappeared and my pimples shrunk in size.GREAT IMPROVEMENT...What you do is Get a fresh lemon and squeeze some juice on a cottonball..Rub it all over your face...Leave it on for no more than 10 mins...WASH IT OFF.. thats it... do this every night..Guaranteed improvement... Good Luck

So I have been using pure lemon juice. Just cut it open squeeze the juice onto my fingers and apply. In just 3-4 days my hyper pigmentation/scarring from my acne definitely got lighter. Also, a few breakouts I saw coming in improved over the course of 2 nights. I think if you're consistent with this, every night before bed wake up wash it off, then it'll definitely help.
