Lemon Juice (applied topically)

I am always willing to try new natural products when it comes to my skin. Not only is it safer but I feel that it produces better results. As for lemon juice, it is my personal savior. Not only do I apply it on my skin, but I drink a cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice daily. You might think lemon is acidic, and it is - outside of the body. But, when you ingest it, it turns into alkaline which is extremely good for your body and helps fight diseases and illnesses like acne. Lemon juice WORKS because it is a disinfectant and destroys any acne bacteria that contributes to developing acne. It also removes dead skin cells because it is highly acidic and therefore exfoliates the skin. Eventually skin will be smoother and scars will start to diminish and fade. However, even though Lemon Juice is a great acne treatment it should be used with caution! Always dilute it, as it's pure form can have a harsh effect on the skin. Since it is so acidic, it can open the pimple right up and result in bleeding and can sting quite badly. Diluting it half and half with either apple cider vinegar, witch hazel or tea tree oil, can help alleviate the sting and any other symptoms that it may bring. I mix mine with witch hazel and use it as soon as i get up in the morning and before I go to bed. I apply it on just my acne-prone areas (My t-zone) and leave it on. I let it dry for about 5 minutes and I then apply tea tree oil and let dry as well. After all is said and done, I apply Organic virgin coconut oil as a moisturizer. Also be sure to drink a cup of fresh lemon juice daily squeezed from one lemon. It is a great detox drink and does wonders for the body.

great for dark marks and healing scars. It's helped A LOT with my skin

it works immediately and heals over night. the stinging is a little irritating but overall its worth the temporary pain.

I use this whenever I've had a particularly bad breakout that's left some marks. It works rapidly on me. It's best at getting rid of those lingering red or brown dots but it did help significantly with some scar tissue near my eyebrows (it's gone completely now with lemon juice and time). Just try not to use it too frequently, only put it on at night and wear sunscreen the day afterwards. I've been using this method for over a year now and it still works.

I'm 23 years old girl, I'm asian and have white skin I've started retin-a about 9 months ago, and after 6 months, i cleared up my dace. But the thing with retin-a is it does not give my face the glow that i really want. so i decided to try lemon juice. Here's my routine, after shower, i usually put aloe vera gel ( fresh from plants) and let it dry, and then i put the mixture of lemon juice with aloe vera gel (again just a little bit) as a toner. Lately i've been drinking lemon juice in the morning Lemon juice overall gives whitening effext to my skin, and my skin has this nice glow. I eally like lemon juice, because it's natural and cheap, and has the same effect as whitening cosmetics, if not more effective. I recomend try using lemon juice, topically and as a drink, (drinking it will gave you glow and stamina boost), there's no harm in trying anyway

It works amazingly fast i have minor scaring and acne and in four days it came off ; D yay!

I have quite faint acne scarring and after only using the lemon juice a few times - I have noticed awesome results! Ie wash my face with warm water and the natural soap from Carely's Clear and Smooth, ( the BEST skin care products! ) to get any dirt or make up off and then pat to dry with a clean face towel. Then I squeeze some lemon juice on to a little cotton round and slowly rub across my face in little circles ( mainly just on the areas where the light scarring is ) Be careful using lemon juice however - you dont want to rub in the same spot for to long because since lemon juice is acidic it can burn your skin! I then rinse with lukewarm water - pat to dry - and put on moisturizer. ( make sure to put on sunscreen if you are going outside! ) :D I totally recommend this product!

I had a pimple that resisted EVERY treatment known to man. It stayed on my face right between my eyes for a good 2 weeks, every morning it looked just as red as the day before. It wasn't extremely huge, but still very annoying. The skin around it was slightly wrinkly so it was difficult to conceal with makeup. Out of desperation I applied a drop of lemon juice. It was 100% pure lemon juice from the little bottles in the grocery store. I kid you not, 15 minutes later the red turned pink. I applied it once a day for the next 2 days- it's GONE. Lemon juice is amazing. I use it as a toner everyday after my skincare routine. Be sure to moiisturize as well. Good luck <3

I read a few reviews and I tried lemon juice. I created my profile on acne.org only to put a review for lemon juice. I did the following, 1) Washed my face in the night with a very mild cleanser. 2) Applied the lemon juice after 5-10 min. 3) Went to bed :) After a few weeks my face is all cleared up. For my back acne I did the following: 1) Changed to a very mild soap. 2) Reduced my shower time. 3) Stopped touching my back with sofa or chair and started sleeping on my side rather than on my back. Exercise regularly and stress free mind is also required besides this. But sadly it didnt work for my chest acne.

Great results if used reasonably (once a day tops!).
