Lemon Juice (applied topically)

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.

I tried this method with honey and it had no affect what so ever! My scarring on my face was bad and after putting on the lemon and honey, they faded but after an hour or so they were back! This was not the only method i have used which does not work. i have used 'Bio oil' also which had the same outcome and this cost alot more (from £8.95). However, I researched some more and found that vitamin e is supposed to help fading. IT WORKS! I have been using a vitamin e cleansing lotion (79p, Boots), a vitamin e toner (79p, Boots) and a vitamin e moisturiser (79p, Boots or 'Vitamin e creme', Holland and Barratt which costs £2.49 but has better affects) twice a day in that order for about a month and the scars are nearly gone (be persistant). Also, for my acne I apply 'Germaline Antiseptic cream' ( £2.79, Boots) freely when ever I can, along with 2 tablets of 'HRI clear complexion' ( £3.90, Boots) everyday. IT WORKS PERFECTLY. It is more expensive. But is twice as affective

i thought i would try lemons seeing as its natural...what was i thinking it gave me loads of new spots all over my face...burnt my face and made it red and sore..did not work!!!!

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 read all about this so I decided to give it a try. Used it for 2 weeks straight and saw no change in my acne. Waste of time & money.

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.

It made my skin worse, not better,s o i won't be using lemon juice ever again!

Ever wondered what it would feel like to pour petrol on your face and throw a match on it? Try Lemon Juice!

I used lemon juice (from the bottle) for my acne, but I was really hoping it would help with my red scars. I used it for 2-3 weeks & didn't notice a difference & I got tired of the horrible burning & itching so I discontinued usage. Maybe it would have made a difference to use a fresh lemon rather than lemon juice from the bottle, I'm not sure. I've started using Mederma cream in hopes that will work since I've used it before & it helped.
