Lemon Juice (applied topically)

I haven't had severe acne since my teenage years, with the exception of a bad outbreak a few months ago on account of new detergent (damn you, Tide!). This left me with a face full of scars that I was trying to find a natural way to get rid of. I started using lemon juice in the morning and aloe vera juice applied topically at night, and I'm experiencing wonderful results. My skin is glowing and the scars are fading. However, it did take a few weeks before I started to see any fading at all. Be patient and persistent, and you should see results.

This is interesting. My book on Chinese healing from foods actually recommends lemon or lime juice as a cleanser for acne. Lemons are not abundant in China, so other ingredients are used: Mix equal parts of celery and apple juice - apply to face morning and evening. Cut a water chestnut in half, rub the inside cross-section over your face 2 - 3 times a day. Also, eat plenty of raw cucumber, which has a cooling effect on the stomach and lungs, and drink large quantities of hot green tea. Just thought I would share what I read, as it follows exactly what you are all saying, and the Chinese have beautiful skin!

I used fresh lemon juice from organic lemons on my skin a few times every night before starting the regimen, and it reduced the redness of my acne but didn't actually cure it/get rid of it, if you apply a lot of it without diluting it, it stings like HELL! Sometimes I got away without diluting it but using less of it. I juiced half a lemon into a bowl and used cotton pads to apply, dabbing it over my skin, I wouldn't really recommend this other other things although it's worth a try if your not interested in doing the regimen.

I had very light acne but I have these little bumps on my nose but it doesn't show. I been using this for about a week and I had a dramatic change I had almost no acne before using this I Also had pimples now I only get like 1 or 2 a week. Near my nose I had really bad redness and near my chin but it has reduce alot I have a light brownish skin and I notice my skin seems lighter so beware. Also I had oily skin now only my nose is a bit oily. Another thing your can try is to add a pinch of sugar and it will take away all the dead skin.

it worked for part of my face and made others worse.I recommend trying it for a few days and seeing where it helps. I now use it on areas that have 1 or 2 pimples but not all over my face... bottom line is i found it works for light acne but nothing more... hope it helps :)

Try it u will won't regret it...

All the Cons are worth it though if you are consistent, and careful with how you use the lemons. I'm thinking about buying maybe a pound of them when I get my paycheck on Thursday, and start the regimen again. If you are looking for a natural way to lighten and brighten those stubborn acne "scars", you should definitely try the lemons! Make sure to use sunscreen, SPF is your friend, sepecially when it comes to those terrible skin discolorations. ( SPF 30 or higher.) For pitted "icepick" acne scars, however, I would recommend Camellia Oil (must be 100% Pure). It takes awhile, depending on the severity of the scars, so, it is not a miracle oil. If you would like to know where to get such oil, email me at wannabkes@[link removed] with the subject 'where to find camellia oil.' I like to help people with their troubles especially with skin care =) I wish everyone the best of luck with their skin care! And if you do have any questions at all, feel free to email me =) thank you!

Really awesome idea, spent loads and loads on all of the different brand named products, going from one to another after realising each one didnt work. I also would like to recomment using Avocado's as a face mask, just buy one, cut it open, scoop the soft middle bit with a spoon, then blend it into a paste, then apply. then add lemon to skin afterwards.

IT REALLY WORKS!!! TRY IT NOW OR ELSE!

I had a bad experience, but others say it works well, just try it, it won't hurt (your pockets)...
