Lemon Juice (applied topically)

Cheap, effective treatment of acne, definitely worth a try before spending your money on other products. I squeese fresh lemons and apply it undiluted to my face, leaving it on for 15 mins or longer.

I've used lemon with powdered whey as a face mask for about a week. I have problem with red spots after pimples. I've let mask on face for about 30 minutes. After washed up the mask, red spots were smaller and less noticeable. I use it everyday and I think my skin is better...

I started using lemon juice after reading online that it works well for scars. When I first started using it, it was a bit itchy at first, and my face burned, so I stopped using it. A little later, the scars got worse and so I gave lemon juice another chance, except diluting it with 2/3 water instead of 1/2 and adding more aloe to the mixture. The scars nearly disappeared in 3 days! I don't recommend using any other chemicals (a little bit of salicylic acid is fine, but benzoyl peroxide will burn) while using this, and make sure to stay out of the sun. Lotion is important as well because this will dry out your skin a little bit.

I used fresh squeezed lemon on my face for seven days. After two days I already saw a difference in the size of the flat pink scars. I'm a naturally really pale but the lemons seemed to give my face a darker glow which I loved! The skin that was unaffected by scars or acne ended up very smooth and my pores looked nonexsistant. However my current blemishes took WAY longer to go away when I put lemon on them. It seemed to prolong the healing process. My forehead also mildly broke out in tiny red bumps, not pimples, just some irritation. I started using lemon to fade my old ance scars. It seemed to work so I switched to all facial products to natural facewash and moisturizor and will only be using lemons on my scars to avoid further irritation on my forehead. Overall I would reccomend it. It's very cheap and chemical free! Can't get more natural then this.

If there is a story that never ends, it is my story with acne. I had it since 2009, tried so many things to get rid of it, went to many doctors but they didn't help much to the point I don't even care about my breakouts anymore. Just recently, I moved to a tropical place with bad water quality. Since then, my acne gotten worse and it finally caught my attention again. Went to a doctor first, got treated with chemical peeling only to have my acne even worse. A friend of mine suggested me to use lemon juice every night before going to bed and to use some moisturizer. I was hesitant at first. Since my skin type is very oily, wouldn't it gotten worse if I use moisturizer? Apparently not. Yes, lemon juice works like magic-- only after 6 nights of using lemon juice, I can see a big difference. But it's also important to use moisturizer since lemon juice can irritate your skin and cause more acne. Hence, the key is to look for the right moisturizer for your skin. I chose night lotion that contains tea tree oil and it works perfectly. I also use tea tree mattifying lotion for daily use. Unfortunately the mattifying lotion don't have SPF in it, so I have to look for sunscreen that works well with oily skin. I also drank 2 lites of water/day. So far, it works just fine for me. I hope this helps you too. :)

This stuff is pretty damn good. I mostly use it on recently popped pimples and red marks that are left. It made my stubborn red marks go away when I used it twice daily. I tried putting it all over my back for my bacne, and at first it did itch, but after a half hour it was fine. The next day my pimples were going away and the red marks fading. Haven't used it since because my skin is too dry for anything!

My mom told me to do this like months ago and when she applyed it to my face it burned and itched like a motherF*****. I now decided i would try it again and it still burned and itched bad but heres a tip that worked for me, after i had got done rubbing the lemon all over my face i ran to the frezzer and let the cold air hit my face and the burning and itching cooled off i know it sounds dumb but it helps the lemon works i started seeing results after 2 days i barly started using this try it out(;

Im using pure Lemon juice. In night before i go to bed, I wash my face with soap (kojic soap) then after I'll wipe with towel until it dry, then I start apply Lemon juice, squeezed lemon in bowl then produce juice and I apply with cotton Rub gently in my affected areas of scars, I leave it in night. then Morning thats the time I'll rinse with water... This is safe, or fast cure to scars? Please Help before if Im doing bad treatment.. Help!! :) thanks a Lot . sorry for my grammar. ^^

Great antibacterial wipe for your face. I made the mistake of applying this full strength and leaving it on - which caused over-drying and irritation and thus led to more skin problems. I have oily skin with dry and sensitive cheeks, so I've found that applying this solely to my T-zone is the most effective. When applied to my dry areas, I've gotten little red bumps that resemble rosacea. So I would caution that you want to use this sparingly and maybe not leave it on for a long time, like I did - especially on areas of sensitive skin. I also think part of the reason my skin was distressed while using this was that I was overdoing it with harsh products. I was cleansing with my Clarisonic, using ACV and lemon juice as a toner, and applying MUAC's Gly-Luronic Serum. Cutting back on trying different things on my face and simplifying my regimen has actually been much better for me. Another caution - I once tried to make a mixture of lemon juice and ACV and stored it in a glass bottle so that I didn't have to keep squeezing a lemon every night. I don't recommend doing this, because the lemon goes bad very quickly... and the rotted juice will definitely cause your skin to react badly! Common sense, I know, but just in case anyone was considering storing a mixture for future use...

If I use lemon juice on my face, is there any possibility to see pimples on my face as side effect of using lemon juice? Usually pimples go away by using lemon juice. Does the pimples may again come on the same place after few days?
