Lemon Juice (applied topically)

When I heard about lemon, I thought why not try it? It's cheap. And natural. And I've heard that it works. And it does! Every night I was my face with a gentle cleansing wash( I use Purpose). I then cut off a slice of the lemon and gently rub it on to me face. Some people may experience burning or itchiness but what I do if right after I put it on, I sit in front of a fan and the fan dries it on my face and then it soothes my skin. Then go to bed...wake up...SHAZAM! It helps! My skin feels tighter, softer, and the acne has gotten smaller and less red.

I use lemon juice as a toner after cleansing in the morning and I use diluted AVC at night. It works great. I can feel that it helps to maintain a good pH level and I also feel less breakouts forming... You must be patient though! I have been applying this for 2 months now! Hang in there and don't give up!

I wash my face morning and night with a well-known mild liquid cleanser followed by freshly squeezed lemon juice on a cotton ball. I have been using this method for almost 6 months and I have had no new acne. My skin is smoother and more even-toned. It has improved my rosacea redness somewhat, but not cured it. I am a 32 year-old female and I have tried MANY products over the years. This method works best for me. My skin is combination dry/oily. This method may be too harsh if your skin is very dry. TIPS: Add some of the extra lemon juice to a glass of water, or you can store the freshly squeezed lemon juice in a small glass jar. It keeps for a couple of days. I've also heard it helps your skin to drink the lemon juice. I tried this, but found it too bitter-tasting to do long-term.

I tried this for about three weeks and saw no change in my skin so I quit. Although it was a bit softer I didnt feel that it cleared up my acne like I was hoping. Maybe I will try it again in the future for a longer period of time and see if that helps.

I used it twice a day for almost a week I think, but then I started to get a huge break out, despite having only had mild acne for several years. I think it may be because I didn't use a moisturiser, and so my skin dried out completely. Either way it was horrible, and I immediately stopped using lemon juice. However, now another week has passed, and my break out is practically gone again (used a lot of moisturiser!) - and my scars (small ones) seem to actually have improved significantly (they're still slightly red though, but it slowly disappears)! So I'm gonna start using it again, albeit a lot less, AND use a moisturiser. Bottom line is it may help you, but you should definitely USE IT WITH CARE.

Topically Remember to use a fresh lemon everyday, the minerals that make lemons so great are only good a few minutes after you cut the lemon, same with any fruit! When applied topically will sting really bad (so what, well worth it) and kill all bacteria on face, give it about a full week and face will be clear. I use it after shaveing with cuts and stuff, it hurts so bad I have to jump up and down (at this point I don't care about pain, I just want a clear face) Acid Wear The really white spots that start to show up on the bottom portions of your teeth, if you have seen them they are acid wear...always drink it with a straw, then take some water and swish it around after to take extra precaution. Remember to drink all juices with a straw as they are pretty much acids. Photosensitvity: Don't wear in sun, it will double your skin damage! Apply it on face, leave on over night and rinse off in morning. I wear throughout day and just stay out of sun as much as p

i was suffering acne for about 6 years.. ive tried almost every product, although they cleared up my acne they still come back worse than before!! on my 6th year of suffering of acne my face is very red because of acne scars,, and new bigger acnes are forming on every part of my FACE!! a friend of mine told me to try a lemon just squeeze it on a cotton and leave it overnight.. i noticed a difference after a week..!! my acnes are starting to dry up and i noticed that i dont get that oily skin anymore.. its a miracle and now im using it for a year.. i wished that i cud turn back time and use this thing that cleared up my skin so that i cud have avoid those perma scars...

I wash my face in the shower in the morning and at night. I then put the lemon juice on my face after my shower , because the steam from the shower opens your pores.It does work, very well. I love it!

I hope it will completely fade my acne scar

So after desperately searching for natural products which would take away the dark spots on my face that appear after a pimple goes away I was recommended that I use lemon juice. I have light-ish brown skin (I'm Indian) so I unfortunately get spots after a pimple goes away. I heard that if you have dark skin you should not use lemon juice because it can cause spots to appear on your face but I still applied it on my face and I did not like it. My face was red and stung very badly. I had to stay away from the sunlight because if you go out in the sun with lemon juice it can burn your skin. Don't use this if you have sensitive skin like me. Personally, I just use honey and I think it works a lot better and doesn't hurt.
