Lemon Juice (applied topically)

What I did was I squeezed a quarter lemon right onto my face then used a cotton pad to make sure my whole face was covered in the lemon juice. I did this in the morning and at night after washing my face. Within 3 days almost all of my red marks and pimples had vanished. However, I stopped this because it had made me way too pale and within a week my acne had come back just as bad. Then i immediately began using the lemon juice again and once again my acne cleared up. This is truly no coincidence, it really works. Except the second time it took closer to a week rather than 3 days. If yoou have open cuts or popped pimples this will sting a lot but you will find that this cleans out the pore, keeps the pimple from coming back and allows it to heal faster since it contains plenty of vitamin C. Do not use right before going out into the sun as this will irritate the skin, make it really red and dry your skin out badly. Also, try not to get carried away with it. It can be tempting to use this more than twice a day but your skin may not be able to handle this and it will make things worse.

I mainly used the lemons to fade away my scars & lighten up my skin & boy, did it work fabulously! Everyone complimented on my skin and boosted up my self-esteem! It didn't do anything for my pimples but thats ok. The scars was what mattered.

it has almost cleared everything up apart from a few pimples near my hairline. i have only be using lemon juice for a week and the results have been amazing. the stinging is manageable, and definatley worth it. i have tried many things, and this one has worked the best :)

You have to try this! i bought sooo many products that my mom even went crazy, anyway i never knew that if you just use a oil-free cleanser and lemons it will go in atleast a month! If it stings too much just add a little water to it, leave it overnight it gets much softer and clearer trust me! Oh, use it with a tissue or cotton ball. GOOD LUCK.

To be honest I used to have horrible big pimples on my face and used to pop them as well which sounds unpleasant I know. Then I decided to try out some of the acne products that had benzoyl peroxide(BP), i used panoxyl treatment cream with 10% BP and face wash with 10% BP.. they worked for like a month then my acne just got worse as soon i stopped using it. So I looked for home remedies that had no side effects and after researching for couple of hours i saw that loads of people were recommending to drink lemon juice or apply it on the face. I've been using it now for about a month and half and must say the result is just spectacular. my skin was alot bumpy but now its almost not bumpy at all. I'm very impressed with this home remedy. Its not a 24 hour solution if you have big pimples its all about just being patient. I'll continue to use this for couple of months and hopefully my skin will be fully clear. I'll write a review again in couple of months time :) Conclusion/Bottom Line: Who needs all the acne treatment crap when you have lemons! :)

Great if you're worried about the longterm effects of chemicals.

I have used Duac, Zineryt, Epiduo and a bunch of over the counter topicals, any honestly this is working better than everything i have tried so far, my skin is actually clearing very fast using this and i havent woken up with any new breakouts for nearly a week.

I started using lemon juice after reading about it on here. I would cleanse with my cetaphil cleanser, put some lemon juice from the bottle in the fridge on a cotton ball and sweep it over my face. I don't rinse or dilute it or anything. After about 5 minutes I put on aloe vera gel mixed with a bit of my Dove night cream. Together, it's a great mixture. I think I'm going to start drinking it too. Enjoy yout beautiful skin. (:

Each night night i use a basic cleanser like cetaphil and then apply frozen lemon slices to my skin.(the cold stops swelling and closes u pores) I leave it on overnight and use a liquid makeup in the day so that my skin doesn't get to dried out. I have had incredible results!!! My skin looks so much better.
