Lemon Juice (applied topically)

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.

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!!! :)

Please only use this when you are not using retinoids or all these other acne topicals, like Finacea, Avage, Epiduo, Cleocin T, Benzaclin, Benzomycin, anything with Benzoyl Peroxide as a matter of fact...actually, anything based in alcohol. Your skin may be reactive to these chemicals mixing with those of the lemon and it may cause an allergic reaction, which will probably cause more acne bumps (cysts, nodules, papules, postules etc). Try letting your face rest from all these harsh chemicals for 2 or 3 days and then try rubbing lemon juice on your face. This stuff is WONDERFULLY as an astringent. It stings a bit but it cleans out those pores and leaves one's face dry, which is great for those with oily skin. If you have naturally dry skin (or chemically dry skin aka skin which is stripped of essential oils due to acne topicals), I would not recommend you use this. My acne was once severe but now I have no acne at all.

Im confused, i saw very good review but also the worse review here. Some experienced their worse breakout and it's pretty scary tbh. I used to have severe acne but its now all gone. Left with brownish hyper pigmentation. Got any advice?

It did help me with my acne at first, but after a while i started to breakout again more often. Anyone know why?

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
