Lemon Juice (applied topically)

I have gotten rid of all my other skin car products that I have used and now I only use LEMON JUICE FROM FRESH LEMONS. I fell like I have been jipped with all the money I have spent and the answer to my bad skin is LEMON JUICE.

Starting getting acne as age 30 was approaching. I was devastated. I turned to Proactive. It worked. However it's 7 years later now & I've started to notice dark spots on my forehead and chin area (old acne areas). I researched the causes and found that the benzyl peroxide is harsh for the skin especially when going into the sun. I found the lemon remedy online and stopped the use of proactive. The LEMON HAS FADED MY DARK SPOTS SOOO MUCH! IN THE PAST 3 MONTHS!. I'm so relieved and thankful, however not the same cannot be said about my annoying acne on my chin and sides of my neck. The acne is still there. I will continue to try and find an alternative to proactive but I'm not going to lie I think about going back to Proactive everyday :( Bottom line, TRY IT!, It may just work for you. You never know :)

This irritates my skin so much, it actually does fade spots but not good for the skin.

i had hyperpigmentation from acne, in 2 weeks, this stuff cleared 80%. i cannot believe the results!

If it works, get it.

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.

For notice: I break out mostly on my forehead and under my cheek bones, and on my chin. I also break out on my shoulders, a tad bit on my sternum, and my lumbar region. I have very oily skin and am prone to black heads, hard spots, and pimples on my face. On my back and on my chest, I'm prone to pimples. I have a regimine that's been working for my face and back, and I also change my pillow case and use a detergent that's perfume and dye free. Some parts (like the scars, black heads, and oil) were persistent. When I saw the reviews for lemons, I decided to give it a try by using it as a toner. I bought a few lemons, and then cut out a small wedge. After I took a shower with a mask, I rinsed my face with a cleanser and left it wet. Then, I actually took the fruit of the wedge and started lightly rubbing it in my problem areas I left my skin wet so it'd be diluted, when I put the lemon straight on my face. It stung a little on my already broken skin and somewhat on the rest of the areas, but it was barely stinging. BARELY. I didn't rinse it off, but instead let it sit there for about thirty seconds, then used my moisturizer, sunscreen, and Clearasil. For my body acne, I rubbed some water on my back's problem areas, and then rubbed the lemon in. And holy CHEESE AND CRACKERS did it STING. I grit my teeth and did the little "ow ow ow" dance, resisting the urge to rinse. I let it sit for longer than I did on my face, and then I rubbed some scar lotion over it, and then the acne cream. The results: MY FACE LOOKS AMAZING. Blackheads are diminishing, and my pimples have gone down. Hard spots are still there, but I use a tool to be rid of them. Scars are almost gone. Back acne is gone, scars are still there but fading. Remember, water on face first, THEN lemon juice. Use a light moisturizer with SPF over it and rub it in. Use it DURING THE DAY, not at night. I'd honestly avoid going outside until your skin is hea

I had some open acne wounds, and they healed VERY fast when I applied this! It did sting but only for a second. I also had some red marks and after applying the lemon juice within 12 hrs the old skin started peeling and the new skin was underneath. I will always use this now!

Lemon juice is a great, natural way to combat acne and scarring. I prefer to add the juice of 1/4 lemon to equal parts organic honey and sugar (about 2 TBS each) for a refreshing scrub. Sometimes I do a quick treatment in the shower; other times, I leave it on longer as a mask (30mins-1 hour). It does work best when left on for a while. Just make sure to put your hair up/back because it is sticky/messy. Wash of with warm water. The lemon juice tightens pores and brightens skin. The honey moisturizes and helps heal your skin. The sugar acts as a great exfoliant. My skin can tolerate both white and brown sugars. For those who have very sensitive skin, brown sugar would probably be best - since the granules are finer/less abrasive. Keep in mind, too, that the lemon is very acidic and does penetrate skin - so be extra gentle until you know how your skin will respond.

At first I was skeptical about putting pure lemon juice one my face but I decided to try it anyways. For the first few days I didn't really notice any difference but on the 5th or 6th day the redness really started to go down. I don't have many pimples, but I have lots of post-acne red spots. I use just cetaphil cleanser for all skin types, gently, and then apply lemon juice at night, and then a thin layer of retina-a (prescribed by doctor). In the morning my skin feels and looks great and is very soft. I've noticed a dramatic change in the clarity of my skin and strongly recommend this to anyone.
