Lemon Juice (applied topically)

Be PATIENT and it will work. Don't be too fast to dump the idea because things will get worse before they get better, but when they get better, its like a miracle.

So I've been on Accutane and my face was finally starting to clear up, then I got mono and my doctor took me off Accutane and put me on steroids for a week right before school! I broke out TERRIBLY, and I was so pissed that I suffered through a summer of Accutane only to have worst skin by the start of school. I started drinking about a shot of lemon juice in the morning and at night yesterday as well as applying it on my face twice a day. So far the results have been great and have stopped my break out from getting worse and has also taken away some of the redness from the 4 big pimples I now have on my cheeks. I have one more day before school starts so I'm hoping it will continue to make my acne go away! So far so good :)

I used it on a cotton pad as a cleanser and it removed the impurities in my skin. I also used a cotton bud to remove acne scars. Lemon juice is a good thing to use if you have: blackheads acne scars uneven skintone (red marks, spot marks etc) oily skin acne/ zits

Starting getting acne as age 30 was approaching. I was devastated. I turned to Proactive. It worked. However it's 7 years later now & I've started to notice dark spots on my forehead and chin area (old acne areas). I researched the causes and found that the benzyl peroxide is harsh for the skin especially when going into the sun. I found the lemon remedy online and stopped the use of proactive. The LEMON HAS FADED MY DARK SPOTS SOOO MUCH! IN THE PAST 3 MONTHS!. I'm so relieved and thankful, however not the same cannot be said about my annoying acne on my chin and sides of my neck. The acne is still there. I will continue to try and find an alternative to proactive but I'm not going to lie I think about going back to Proactive everyday :( Bottom line, TRY IT!, It may just work for you. You never know :)

It helps with red marks, and it does so fairly quickly. I have only started applying lemon a week ago but I can already see results. My red marks are fading a little bit and it feels like my redness is not as bad. I squeeze fresh lemon into a small plastic container then add a bit of water to dilute it (50-50). I take a cotton pad, dip it then gently apply it to my entire face and neck. It doesn't sting at first, it takes maybe a minute and it lasts about another minute. I leave it on for 15-45 minutes then rinse with water. I try to do it twice a day, but usually do it only at night. I follow with my serum. I'm not giving it 5 stars yet because I haven't been using it long enough to know for sure it's working... PLEASE TRY IT! It's cheap and will probably give you good results within less than a month! It's totally worth it.

For notice: I break out mostly on my forehead and under my cheek bones, and on my chin. I also break out on my shoulders, a tad bit on my sternum, and my lumbar region. I have very oily skin and am prone to black heads, hard spots, and pimples on my face. On my back and on my chest, I'm prone to pimples. I have a regimine that's been working for my face and back, and I also change my pillow case and use a detergent that's perfume and dye free. Some parts (like the scars, black heads, and oil) were persistent. When I saw the reviews for lemons, I decided to give it a try by using it as a toner. I bought a few lemons, and then cut out a small wedge. After I took a shower with a mask, I rinsed my face with a cleanser and left it wet. Then, I actually took the fruit of the wedge and started lightly rubbing it in my problem areas I left my skin wet so it'd be diluted, when I put the lemon straight on my face. It stung a little on my already broken skin and somewhat on the rest of the areas, but it was barely stinging. BARELY. I didn't rinse it off, but instead let it sit there for about thirty seconds, then used my moisturizer, sunscreen, and Clearasil. For my body acne, I rubbed some water on my back's problem areas, and then rubbed the lemon in. And holy CHEESE AND CRACKERS did it STING. I grit my teeth and did the little "ow ow ow" dance, resisting the urge to rinse. I let it sit for longer than I did on my face, and then I rubbed some scar lotion over it, and then the acne cream. The results: MY FACE LOOKS AMAZING. Blackheads are diminishing, and my pimples have gone down. Hard spots are still there, but I use a tool to be rid of them. Scars are almost gone. Back acne is gone, scars are still there but fading. Remember, water on face first, THEN lemon juice. Use a light moisturizer with SPF over it and rub it in. Use it DURING THE DAY, not at night. I'd honestly avoid going outside until your skin is hea

I had some open acne wounds, and they healed VERY fast when I applied this! It did sting but only for a second. I also had some red marks and after applying the lemon juice within 12 hrs the old skin started peeling and the new skin was underneath. I will always use this now!

Lemon juice is a great, natural way to combat acne and scarring. I prefer to add the juice of 1/4 lemon to equal parts organic honey and sugar (about 2 TBS each) for a refreshing scrub. Sometimes I do a quick treatment in the shower; other times, I leave it on longer as a mask (30mins-1 hour). It does work best when left on for a while. Just make sure to put your hair up/back because it is sticky/messy. Wash of with warm water. The lemon juice tightens pores and brightens skin. The honey moisturizes and helps heal your skin. The sugar acts as a great exfoliant. My skin can tolerate both white and brown sugars. For those who have very sensitive skin, brown sugar would probably be best - since the granules are finer/less abrasive. Keep in mind, too, that the lemon is very acidic and does penetrate skin - so be extra gentle until you know how your skin will respond.

I tried many medicine, but nothing work effectively.I even use the mesotherapy.. after I read reviews here decide to give it a try. when I wake up I clean my face with soap then I use half of lemon on my face directly just squeeze lemon on my skin and leave it for 10 mins, then wash my face with water and I use little piece of ice, rub it over my face to stop the stinging and to close the pores, and repeat that at night. I don't use medicine anymore. I highly recommended that if you've oily skin it takes you couple of days then you feel the change, I don't think it suitable for sensitive skin.

Definatly recommed, cheap, but if you want something for more drying on acne then i find calamyl more useful (i put it over the top of lemon juice!)
