Lemon Juice (applied topically)

I had been using plain extra virgin olive oil on my skin for about a month with good results and after reading some great reviews of lemon juice decided to add a squeeze or two to my olive oil. The lemon juice stings your face when you first apply it, especially where you have open pimples; however, after about 2 weeks of using olive oil and lemon juice, my skin is looking pretty good! It isn't a miracle worker - you're not going to wake up in the morning after one night of using it and see major differences, but after about a week you should notice redness and old acne scars fading. I have noticed that the addition of lemon juice has made open pimples more likely to scab over and this can be gross to look at for a day or two (and very tempting to pick at!) but often it can help the healing process, so all in all it's probably actually a good thing. Lemon juice is cheap and I've found it to be effective, so I would really recommend it!

Go buy some

I wish I could keep up with doing this every other day. It's a great cheap and natural way to even your skin tone

i've tried many kind of products which doesn't work for me,instead they only make my acne worse.fortunately, i've come across this site and decided to give it a try.. the red marks on my face have reduced and my skin are lightened though it left my skin quite dry,however,it's worth a try..

So basically, this is it for me. Every cleanser(non-natural) that I have used had screwed my skin up in some way, wether it be drying it out or making my skin raw. I have very sensitive skin so it was difficult for me to find a drugstore product/"high-end" product that was gentle. I'm never going back! This is what I've used and in order: 1. Freshly squeezed lemon wedge onto a round cotton pad 2. Dampened face with lukewarm water 3. Applied some raw organic sugar to my face(a tablespoon spread all over) 4. Scrub everywhere especially around hairline and around nostrils to kill bacteria 5. Rinse with water, wait 10 mins 6. Apply organic honey to my face(easiest when done in the shower but I just tie a bag around my neck HAHA) 7. Leave honey on for about 30 mins I moisturized with a light moisturizer after the honey masque and before I went to bed, applied my crushed aspirin mush. Honey, 1 small aspirin and a tiny bit of water. Just as a spot treatment. I also put another thin layer of honey on before I go to bed and rinse in the morning. This can get messy so if you roll around alot this probably wont be a good idea. Unless you can make a consious effort to sleep on your back like I do. I guess you could put a garbage bag on your pillow... The results are amazing, the redness goes down so fast and the honey is bringing all my underlying pimples out so flippin' quickly!! Give it a shot, it's cheap and it won't damage your skin long term. Hope this helps you like it did me.

Everyone should give this a go! Yes it stings slightly but not for long. I've heard that it dries the skin but that's easily fixed with moisturiser. You'll have to apply it several times a day and leave it on over night. It's cheaper than peroxide cream and not as harmful. It really is the best acne cure.

I have only been using this product for about a week now (daily) and i have noticed a huge improvement in my skins texture as well as usual redness. I apply it before bed with a cotton pad; only using a fresh lemon... not lemon juice from concentrate. It stings, like a lot but i find it to be worth it. I wake up and my pores look 10x smaller and my skin feels like it's glowing!! However it did not reduce size of current blemishes. NOTHING EVER WORKS FOR ME. I would reccomend it for moderate acne as i have, you must have high pain tollerance haha. Hope this helps :) hang in there!

I've had a problem with acne for about 6 years now. I've tried many things and this so far has seemed to work the best. I've been using it since Monday and I haven't had any new pimples and it's gradually reducing my current scars and pimples. Twice a day I wash my face (before and after bed) with Purpose Gentle Cleansing Bar and dab it dry. I then use lemon juice (from the bottle) on a cotton ball and rub it gently all over my face. After it's dried and I put Cetaphil Moisturizing Lotion on followed by sunscreen. It's fairly quick and painless.

My regimen is basically Dan's regimen with a twist to it. AM~ * wash face with Cetaphil gentle cleanser * pat dry * apply Cetaphil mousturizer on face AROUND 2 HOURS AFTER- * since the mousturizer is absorbed, I put on lemon juice ALL over my face and it does not sting or anything but thats just my skin PM~ * Wash lemon juice off face with Cetaphil gentle cleanser * Gently pat dry * Apply BP And then I exfoliate with St.Ives Apricot scrub with 2% Salicylic acid from the Naturally Clear line about twice or thrice a week. Since its summer, I found that my skin was getting oilier and therefore breaking out. I heard about the lemon juice and eggs so one day, I put egg whites on my face and then washed it off, then egg yolk, then lemon juice. I washed it off and my face looked cleaner so I decided to put lemon juice on my skin everyday and my scars and spots are fading. It also seems to help with the oily skin too. Also, since I just went on vacation I couldnt take lemons with me, so I just used my BP and cetaphil. I broke out when I stopped using it! Not that bad but it was like 2 pimples and they were swelling, so I just put BP on them hoping that they would go away cause I had no lemons. The next morning I saw like a little thing sticking out of each pimple that kinda looked like when you put BP on your blackheads and the blackhead stuff comes out. So I gently squeexed each pimple and gently rolled my finger across and 2 little things came out. 2 hours later, the pimples were gone!!! So i defineatly think that BP and lemon juice work well together to get rid of acne. But warning, Dont put lemon juice and BP together since they are both chemicals and I am unsure of how they will react together! So yeah, I DEFINETLY reccomend this cause its getting rid of acne and scars. It seems to clean up the acne I get more in summer cause my skin gets oilier. I just hope

Be PATIENT and it will work. Don't be too fast to dump the idea because things will get worse before they get better, but when they get better, its like a miracle.
