Lemon Juice (applied topically)

After cleansing my skin, I cut a lemon (non-organic) in half and squeezed the juice into a cotton ball and rubbed it all over my face and left it on overnight. I did feel that my face seemed to be brighter, but it didn't improve my acne. I even started to get little white bumps along my jawline. After about a month I stopped using it, then started again about 2 months afterwards. And what do you know, I got those same little white bumps along my jawline. But I still didn't learn my lesson. I had a pimple that I wanted to get rid of quick because of an appointment that I had, and I remember I had some lemons left over. I squeezed the juice on a cotton ball and held it on the pimple for several minutes. The next morning I had a scab! I also had the same experience with ACV. So for me, these two items are not held on the skin for long periods of time. So many others seem to have good results using the inexpensive method, but I am not one of them.

I was so embarrased about the break outs and scars on my cheeks that I tried using lemon juice. It worked a little bit, but the pieces of pulp kept sticking to my face and irriating my skin so much that I stopped using it.

I have very persistent, stubborn acne. It ranges from very mild, to very aggravated. This is not a solution. But by all means, try it. I was like you, fellow reader, spending hours looking through reviews and forums. Staring at myself in the mirror, looking for results. It depressed me, thinking about how much money I had spent on acne products. So I gave this a whirl. It's painful. But, whatever, if it works, who cares? It doesn't. I'm sorry to inform that this isn't it. This is an acid so it can kill bacteria, but only temporarily and this can burn the outer membranes of your skin. If your looking for a real solution, try In Love with Bodycare. Look for it online. I've started using it due to a post I saw on this website. They sent me samples after I asked, and I swear to you, I have tried EVERYTHING. Clearsil, Neutrogena, Mario Badescu, Differin, Clarasonic, Facials, Supplements, Diet Changes, Glycolic Acid, BP, Salycilic Acid, Clean and Clear. I was desperate. So close to going on Accutane once and for all. I know you can benefit from this. My skin is flawless now. Its all natural. TRY IT. PLEASE.

I remember using this a long time ago and hating how painful it was. My face has finally been clearing from neutrogena's cream cleanser, neutrogena's all in one acne control daily scrub, and tea tree oil :D This is all I use, and for moisture I steam my face because moisturizers break me out. My face is almost 100% clear. The only thing I wanted was my scars gone tea tree oil does this great believe it or not; especially when they're red. It turns them brown and then I can finally get rid of it by lightening it up with hydroquinine to match my skin tone. Weird process huh, but it works amazingly (scars are fading ridiculously fast). So y did I try lemons in the 1st place again? I was going to drink it to clean out my body, it was here so why not try it again right? Thankfully I tested it on a small portion of my skin because omg it burns like crazy. PLEASE TEST IT 1ST IF YOU TRY IT! I then continued with my normal face routine; which is very moisturizing and gentle even without moisturizers. OMG it burned that specific area soo bad. When I used the juice I only dabbed my finger on the lemon and patted it on my face. It still burnt no matter what and today is the day after doing it, and its still ridiculously sensitive to everything, and I don't have sensitive skin at all. Just be careful when using this if u must. Use it gently and watered down. Good luck every1, and check out the products I mentioned; they wont fail u.

DO NOT USE IT IF YOU ARE GOING OUT APPLY NIGHT ONLY~

I'm so sad that this made me break out because the part of my skin that wasn't covered in small bumps and pimples looked beautiful - soft, smooth and glowing. Based on my experience I wouldn't recommend it, which is why I put "no" but still it's worth a try because it's cheap and it seems like a lot of people have got good results.

Works good I guess if you're trying to lighten up acne scars, but in terms of getting rid of acne, it doesn't do much but cause more breakouts.

Well I hate to be a downer, but I recently gave lemon juice a try after many things (BP, salicylic acid, clindamycin, etc), and I can't say it has worked all that great for me...ESPECIALLY as some have claimed for it being an "overnight" and "miracle" cure. The only thing that has ever worked in such a way was Accutane which I took in high school. I'm not saying lemon juice doesn't work, in fact I'm sure it probably does for a lot of people. But it certainly didn't make my pimples go away. The only thing it somewhat seemed to fade was older acne scars (which is actually pretty awesome). It didn't make things worse that I could really tell, so I say give it a try. Why not, really. I think the best thing for me at this point in my life is just drinking tons of water, not sweating, and destressing.

Well,i have heard it has skin lightening properties and stuffs,but it isn't working on my dry skin. i would recommend it for oily skim,and it really helps to remove the oil.

I would recommend this because the fact that its natural and cheap and very easy to get hold of and its worth a try if your desparate (like me). My own experience with it wasn't so good but just because of my own experience doesn't mean on others it won't work. My skin is sensitive and I guess the lemon acid my face can't handle. It stings and burns alot for me and my face goes red so definately a irratation on my skin. I used it once- twice a week for a month just to see if it would help even though it stung my face. Nothing happened so it wasn't really that great, good thing was that it didnt make my acne worse.
