Lemon Juice (applied topically)

I've dealt with acne my whole life. I've used everything from verious perscription medications, to proactive, to over the counter products. The past few years my face goes in and out staying nice for a month, then breaking out, out of nowhere. The lemon juice, applied with daily washig using a mild soap has really helped alot

It works. It's one of those things that's natural and works. Like salt water in summer, drinking lots of water etc. These things are underated in clearing up skin.

Even when I dilute it with water the lemon juice BURNS! And I didnt think I had sensitive skin. But it does work.

Need I say more? Well, I'll say a little more, I have had acne for about six months, not severe just moderate... and this lemon remedy really works. I have tried Accutane, and trust me the side affects of that medicine are not worth it. Your lips get REALLY dry and your skin peels off easy. Anyway YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY Lemon Juice ;)

I have oily skin, moderate acne on face (and back), and use over the counter products like St. Ive's, Neutrogena, Clearasil, even Eskinol. Used right, they give me results as fast as 2 weeks. By "results," I mean almost no new pimples and mostly smooth skin. I'm bad about picking, so the dark spots take longer to fade. Also, after about a month, my routines seem to stop working and new acne stays. Yesterday, for about 6 hours, I applied *diluted Realemon lemon juice* to my face every 10 min. or so. During, I noticed it was smoothing my skin. After, my newer red scars were faded to pink and dark spots were not as dark. Today, I've been applying *not diluted* not as frequently but am getting the same results. Plus, my larger, day-old pimples are much smaller. With such fast, easy results, lemon juice is SO worth the try. I wouldn't have applied so frequently if it weren't just a fruit.

Lemon juice applied directly to my face ? It seemed silly at first, but haven't I tried about everything over the years ? Yes. You know, it is easy, smells nice, and I like the way it tones my skin.

I had pretty clear skin before except for that occasional period zit that sometimes left red marks, I researched online and found it effective to treat the marks . So I diluted it (80% water, 20% lemon juice, and the lemons were fresh).I used it 2 times a week at night.At first it didn't effect my skin but soon I began getting large n of pimples only cheeks that left behind such bad scars that I am crying seeing them :-(.It has WORSED MY SKIN and my self esteem too.

I had some red spots on my face and chest from leftover acne that was healing and going away and I thought of using lemon juice to try to lighten them up a bit, which I guess it kinda did but then it's as if it brought all of my dead pimples back to life. I left it on during the night, then the next morning I had a bunch of new angry pimples that weren't there the night before and they were all swollen and filled with pus. I'd say this is probably nice if your acne has already completely healed and you're trying to get rid of the scarring/blemishes, but if you feel like things are just starting to fade and you don't want to mess it up then don't use this. Though it might be because I used it all over and didn't spot treat and left it on overnight, either way I won't risk it again I think.

Amazing at getting rid of redness but didn't notice a difference with my acne. You'd be better off with a good spot gel if you want to use lemon to reduce the size of your spots
