Lemon Juice (applied topically)

I've only used lemon juice for a week, but I have seen incredible and noticeable improvement on my face. A friend of mine didn't see me for two days, but when he did see me again, he noted that my acne had cleared up a lot. Furthermore, I only had to pay a dollar for lemons, which is so much cheaper than those $50 brand name acne-treatment products I used to buy.

I don't get any burning using lemon juice but the people who do/have sensitive skin, you need to close your pores!!!! after you wash your face, RINSE YOUR FACE OFF WITH COLD WATER TO CLOSE YOUR PORES! very important! and you don't need a lot of lemon juice! put some on a cotton ball/ pad or put a little bit of juice into your hands and pat it into your face and really press it in so it can work. if you experience burning, it should not hurt and should not last for more than 3 minutes. the burning is also showing a sign that its working. and please give it time!!! I know a lot of people are saying it works less than a week but please use this for a month and then you can judge! DO NOT GO OUTSIDE INTO THE SUNLIGHT WITH LEMON JUICE ON YOUR FACE!!! put lemon juice on your face at night and let it sit overnight and then rinse it off in the morning :) IF YOU GIVE UP AFTER A MONTH OR TWO TRY USING ONION JUICE!!! :)

It really really works! And it does not make your acne worse before it gets better like so many other products do. After washing my face with gentle soap I just take a lemon slice and lightly rub it all over my face and let it dry. It does sting a bit, but it goes away in about 30 seconds, and then i wash it off after a while and apply a good moisturizer. It fades scars quickly, and if there's a pimple coming, it seems to nip it in the bud and reduces redness. Plus, it is cheap and natural, it feels good to know what you're putting on your face! I also have freckles which I don't mind, but it lightened them too, and now my skin is starting to look brighter and smoother every day. p.s. i would still be careful at first, because it might irritate sensitive skin, and everyone reacts differently, i hope it helps others like it helped me

I absolutely love this treatment! I hated the cremes the dermatologist gave me I have sensitive skin and every single prescription I spent a lot of money on and had to stop using them a week after buying them. They would cause redness and make my skin peel, and they hurt like hades! This treatment has changed my skin. I take a VERY thin slice and rub it on my face leave it on for as long as possible and if needed I slightly rinse morning and night. A small lemon can last me a week (using on the body as well) which is so inexpensive! Just like any product though you have to try it out for at least a month before judging it nothing works fully over night although you can feel the difference in cleanliness immediately it still takes time for your skin to detox. Your skin also gets used to the sting so it hurts less after use. I will never put a prescription creme on my face again.

At night I open up my pores by washing my face with warm water for several minutes and then cleanse and exfoliate. I then use a cotton pad to dab the freshly squeezed lemon juice on my face and leave it on overnight. It stings at first but that stops after a couple of minutes. In the mornings I also do the same thing but instead of the lemon juice I wash my face with some sea salt flakes dissolved in water. Salt water also does wonders for your skin! I have suffered from acne/pimples for 13 years. I have gone on really aggressive oral medications, used over the counter topical treatments, changed my diet, exercised, and tried a bunch of different and expensive skin care routines. Diet and exercise DOES help, as can some of the right products, but nothing has ever really seemed to be a long term solution for me. I stumbled across this review section in a search for home remedies and decided to give it a try. It's only my third day and I've already noticed the difference. My pimples are slowly fading, and even the red marks I'm left with from some nasty pimples seem to be less noticeable. I'm definitely going to continue this and recommend trying it. I'm not sure it will do anything for my scars, but here's hoping. Keep in mind this will be a long term solution not a quick fix. You've got nothing to lose!

it really works, just be patient and use it regulary. it fades marks and works on mild acne too. wouldn't recommend for sensitive skin, since it can possibly burn it also don't dare to go on daylight sun with lemon on your face

I have tried everything for my skin. Including labelled skin care products such as clearasil, Neutrogena, Aveeno and even sunblock. I have also tried honey, aloe vera, cinnamon and even cucumber, but NONE of them have worked. The skin Care products have only lead to me breaking out even worse due to them being too strong. I have even tried placing a warm/hot wet towel on my face daily twice a day, but that only dried out my face. Then I tried honey, which only made my face itchy, worked for 4 days, but then went back the same way. I tried cucumber but I broke out again after weeks of trying it. But recently my mum brought me a lemon. And when I first tried it, it did burn. But then after three days my pimples are almost completely gone along withy scars. Would reccomend 100% as I am seeing great results. My face has not been like this before thanks to lemon.

Most amazing thing I've ever tried. Been suffering from acne since I was 15 (21 now), and I've tried just about everything you can think of. Few weeks ago I was ready to make a derm appt to get Klaron ($100+) but then I remembered I heard lemon juice was good for acne. I was desperate, so I tried it. I've been using it for 2 weeks now, morning and night, and most of my acne has vanished and the scarring has reduced significantly. Really glad I saved the trip to the dermatologist!

It works. My son is 14 with severe acne. He has tried EVERYTHING except accutane. Nothing worked until this simple, cheap, rememdy. He's been using it for about a month and his acne has cleared up about 80 percent. His scars are significantly reduced. He started out leaving it on 10 minutes being cautious that it is an acid and can burn. He has graduated up to putting it on after every shower and leaving it on all the time. Thank you all for your posts. I wouldn't have ever thought of lemons without your posts. He has now added Michaels Hair, skin and nails vitamins which is definitely helping too. We buy organic lemons and he puts the lemon juice full strength on a cotton ball and applies it directly to skin. Always use sunscreen when going outside when using lemon juice on your skin.

I have suffered from SEVERE! acne for the last 9yrs & I have used every single anti-biototic you can imagine including Roaccutane! Roaccuntane worked for a week then I came off it! I had never had a migraine in my life until I took that stuff, I was crying my eyes out in pain! So then i went on to try the Coconut Oil, that didnt work so well for me. So since reading the Lemon Juice Review I thought id give it a try! I use The Body Shop Coconut Oil Soap on my face & neck (which is where I suffer terribly with Acne, my neck is covered in scars!) & after the soap I put Lemon Juice on my face & neck (I use the pure stuff straight out the bottle!) I do this in the morning (leave it on all day & put my make-up on over the top of it) & at night I put it on & leave it on till the next morning. In 5 days my acne is basically gone & my scars are fading fast! I have never known anything like it! This stuff is amazing. Smooth soft skin, no bumps, no acne & fading scars!! TRY IT!!! SERIOUSL
