Lemon Juice (applied topically)

I would recommend this product in conjunction with your daily toner if you use one.. Alone I believe it would be a little to irritating, especially if you use any other products. It's good for promoting new skin cells, and fading red marks.. but personally I would wait till your acne problem was under control, and your skin was stable before using this product.

Yes, it will sting. But who doesn't love the satisfaction of knowing that stinging is killing all that bacteria and making your skin better?? I've only been using it for 2 days but it has rocked my world!! Large pimples were dried up and tightened the night after I first started. It makes me start the day feeling clean. Just remember to use a moisturizer after, especially if you'll be getting some sun.

I just started yesterday (I'm breaking out an have my wedding in a week!!) and it's working already!

I think the reason this didn't work for me was because I have very sensitive skin. When I started to rub some lemon juice on to the red scars, I started to feel small spots forming on the scars and my skin would get a bit dry. Although this product is known for reducing redness, I do not recommend this product for those with sensitive skin like me.

i used lemon last year for about 6 months and i never had a spot come through, life was so good then, but now going back to it, it seems to not work

I have been using lemons over a year on and off and currently I have stopped using it. Partly because I don't want to get anymore lighter on my face. I think the best way to use it, is before going to bed and using it as a toner with a cotton wool. I never rinsed it off though until the following morning. I am starting to wonder if lemons have been the cause of my cystic acne as I never used to have them before. But that's probably because I never rinsed it off. Overall, I suppose I've taken what the juice has done for me for granted over the period when my skin was really bad (as I am my own cause of self picking) and it seemed to be the best remedy on giving me back my skin again and also at times given me a lovely satin healthy glow. I've stopped using it because I'm worried it has been the cause of my cystic acne, a sort of a 'catch 22' situation. Lemons are ideal for evening out the overall complexion and tone. But I can't remember if it decreased or increased my spots as recently my skin is looking good just using Clean&Clear blackhead scrub.

I had severe acne which I cleared up with Accutane. However, I was left with lots of dark spots on my face at the end of the course. I've been using lemon on my face once a day and the difference is dramatic :)! Really did wonders to lighten up my skin and make the scars less red and inflamed looking.

When I used this with olive oil, i eventually started breaking out. But a few drops of lemon juice on its own or w/ aloe vera has helped. Can't wear it out because of sun-sensitizing potential (or at least, I don't recommend it). I don't like to leave it on, even at night, because it's sticky, so I just use it as a pre-wash treatment.

It works wish I tired it sooner spent quite alot of money on treatments and products which failed. Been using it for couple of weeks definitely can see some of my acne spots fading

It works pretty well but if you don't like little things that hurt you do NOT try this!!! But overall if your looking for a good cleanser try lemons!!!!!
