Lemon Juice (applied topically)

When I woke up after leaving it on my face all night, I noticed a difference immediately. My face was very soft, the redness was gone, and some of my acne was drying out. On the other hand I have mixed acne, white heads, blackheads, cysts, the list goes on. I have been using it for about a month now and it has made my skin look fresh, but has not done much for the more severe acne on the sides of my face. I cut the lemons into fours and put them in a container in the fridge, I rub a slice all over my face after I cleanse my skin. I leave it on all night, but wash it off in the am after 5-10 minutes. Does not dry skin, but hydrates it.

I would definitely recommend this. BUT; only apply to areas that are sever/moderately covered in acne. I used it all over my face, and it dried out the non-acne areas.

Though it helps drying out pimples and getting rid of scars, do not use lemon juice if you have sensitive skin! It will irritate your skin and causes it to be stinging and red. Afterwards your skin will produce more oil to compensate for the irritation.

I cleansed with the site's cleanser, applied lemon juice via cotton ball, then the site's AHA. I woke up with 2 new pimples that were already ready to be popped. Im not going to give up on this though. Going to do it 4 times a week at night and hope for the best results. (fade redmarks and no more pimples)

I am experiencing acne since the age of 14 (17 now) i realized that anything with benzoyl peroxide in it causes my skin to burn. For example i used acneterminator and it caused my skin to get red and dry. Should i still use lemon or should i stick with the remedy of honey & Ice?

I used lemon topically to get rid of my acne hyperpigmentation for 1 and half month only and havent seen much of improvments.If you wanna use it topically give it 3 months and more.The reason i stopped using it topically is because i've found out it works better taken as drink.

Whenever I use lemon juice ( once to twice a week ), I focus on the areas that have blackheads, so around my lips and nose. I let it do its magic overnight and really do see the results. I don't apply the juice all over my face because it would make it dry and the acidic pH would make my sensitive skin act up. Overall great product but make sure to use freshly squeezed juice and lime works fine as well.

I can't afford expensive creams and whiteners, so I thought I'd give this a try. I squeezed a lemon into a container, kept it in the fridge, and applied at night with a cotton ball. Within a few days, I noticed that my scars were lighter. I'm not sure if I used it long enough or if I did something wrong, but this technique seemed to stop working after awhile. Nonetheless, I will keep trying it. It's definitely worth a shot. Just remember to use a moisturizer while doing this!

If used only a couple of times a week, it can help with inflammation and skin tone. But I used to use it every day and eventually it aggravated my acne, so now I only use it when I have infected acne or lots of hyperpigmentation. Make sure you buy the 100% lemon juice type, and dilute it with water if it's too strong for you.

I enjoyed using lemon juice because it's natural and it smells great, and I noticed my skin seemed softer and less irritated. It didn't get rid of my pimples, but the skin around the pimples looked radiant! lol I say give it a try and see what happens. Just squeeze juice from half a lemon, and dilute it with a tiny bit of water. Dip a cotton ball or pad into is and gently wipe your skin. I had to rinse it off my hands because it was stinging, but surprisingly it didn't sting or burn my face or shoulders (I have extremely sensitive skin, so I was worried about it burning).
