Lemon Juice (applied topically)

Really effective, inexpensive, and easy to use. I first used it last winter and saw a remarkable improvement, but then I got out of the habit. I have recently gotten back to using it each day -- like a toner, a bit on a cotton ball after I shower -- and it really improves everything about my skin, even existing acne. I have mostly hormonal acne (on my chin, and I know you understand that, ladies!), and it even helps with that. I don't have any need to wash it off, since I use freshly squeezed lemon juice that's gone through a sieve to remove pits and pith. I just put it on, let it dry, and use my moisturizer... which is Olay beauty with SPF, nothing fancy. You can even use a slice of lemon in a pinch, and sort of swab it across your face as you would a cotton pad. It's worth a try since it's so cheap and easy!

Gets rid of new pimples as soon as they arrive, like a spot cream or treatment only its natural and cheap. I've used a whole bunch of well known brand products on my face to get rid of pimples but lemon juice is the only one that actually gets rid of the pimple in 24 hours. Not good to use on sensitive skin.

I actually just tried this last night for the first time after coming across this site yesterday. The stinging is minimal, and only where I had a couple "raw" spots from recent blemishes. My biggest reason for trying this was 2 DEEP blemishes that were very big and painful. I had the lemon "mask" on for about 15-20 minutes, then cleansed, toned & moisturized before bed. When I woke up this morning those 2 blemishes are incredibly diminished! I'm blown away & will be putting this into my routine skin care to see how it will improve my skin in the long run!

I have just tried this treatment a few times but every time I try it my face instantly looks brighter. It stings a lot so I haven't mustered the courage to use it on a regular basis but I will try to use it twice a week and post back with details.

I highly recommend doing it at least once a week :-) It'll keep your skin young and fresh in the long run.

This is only my second time using..haven't seen any visible results on clearing skin or scars..Will continue using it since i'm not affected by the "stings" of lemon juice. Haha.

it works, but of course you'll need patience. do not leave it overnight though, it doesn't do much after the stinging sensation's gone. ( i studied about acids and the stinging sensation's due to the H+ ions in lemon that's reacting with your face, and because their weak acids they have few H+ ions. so after the stinging sensation, the acid in there is pretty much used up) i would recommend using moisturiser before bed, my skin feels smooth when i do that(: and for oily skin it works cause it regulates the oil production.

it workssssssssssssssss!!! might make it worse before it gets better will take maximum of 3 days try mixing it with a little bit of water, it might be too strong if its undiluted. put it on for 15 mins and wash it off.

Every night, I squeeze a bit of lemon and apply it with a cotton earbud thing onto my nose, where I get those nasty blackheads. I leave it on for the night. The next morning, it's a miracle, literally! Most of my pores are clear, and the icky blackness is gone. Lemons really do work....even BP doesn't work so well. Getting lemons is bit of a bother, but I squeeze heaps in one week and then just leave it in the fridge.

I suffer with adult acne.I have gone to the dermetologist,tried different products from the store,but truthfully nothing has worked for me like the juice of a lemon DILUTED with fresh water.I makes my skin glow and gives it a youthful apperance.I love when I gather with my friends and they say to me,"your skin looks good".But I must say,it does take consistency and if you stop the usage your marks may reappear...I have experienced this also.
