Lemon Juice (as a drink)

This is a great way to cleanse the body and clear the skin. In addition to clear skin I have noticed my metabolism speedinh up, more regular bowel movements, and an increase in overall wellness. Plus, it's cheap and makes plain water taste great!!

Give it a try.. You should be drinking tons of water anyway so if the lemon does not work your still helping your skin stay hydrated!

I started drinking it because I saw that it could help lose weight, and that it had health benefits too. But after two days of ALOT of lemon water, I found that instead of my normal chin of acne, there was nothing. And since lemon was the only thing I changed to my lifestyle, I'm putting it down to that. I hope that this continues!

I love it as a drink.. but I find citrus helps promote cystic acne.

I have been on it for a couple days and i can see the difference. I did not break out at all today and i feel it is def due to lemon juice. My acne size has reduced. I will wait longer to see the promising results and review again. But I just want other people to know that it is worth a try. I drink 3 teaspoon in a shot glass with straw in the morning and at night. Good luck guys, hope it works for you.

I love it it cleared my acne and the oil in my upper forehead AMAZING! My parents always have lemons so it doesn't make me pay at all!

This must be helping me too but I also went with a extremely low fat diet, Simply if I load up on raw fruits and veggies, eat only poultry or fish, a high fiber cereal or plain vanilla yogurt for a snack I will not have one new outbreak. I have extremly terrible and sensitve "female" hormonal acne from imbalanced estrogen/pregesterone/testosterone. Not one over the counter drug or antibiotic or cream improves it at all. In additon to making good diet choices I supplement with chasteberry (vitex)to regulate female hormones as well., Flaxseed oil capsules and a real whole food multivitamin plus a hair,skin nails vitamin too. I do a full lemon topped w/ 16oz water before bfast and another one every night before bed too. Plus at least 2 Cups of green tea and detox tea each per day. I have done it for months, if I go back to my old habits It will take a week but I go back to huge cysts - big as eraser diameter and dozens of comedones.

Although I began this regimen with water, I've since decided to place the lemon into apple juice instead. The lemony taste is somewhat muted and it has quite a lovely flavor..while also providing all of the necessary benefits! The apple juice (or any other 100% fruit juice) provides an added component in the detoxification process. My skin is glowing with healthiness.

So about a week ago I decided to try lemon water in order to stop my acne. I actually came across this site and decided to try it after reading reviews. My mother is a big Doterra fanatic so there was a 15ml lemon oil bottle lying around that I started to add into my water everyday. It's highly concentrated so I put in a drop or two and I can't even explain the difference in my skin. My acne has been horrible for YEARS. It was all over my cheeks, jaw and chin. It was always hormonal related and especially linked to my diet which I still struggle to keep clean. I've tried everything and this has been my saviour. My acne has cleared dramatically! I haven't had a breakout since I've been drinking this. My skin has cleared up, and I'm praying that it continues to do so. Right now my focus is on clearing my acne scarring. I really recommend giving this a go or even trying lemon water in itself. I've tried everything from oral medication, tropical remedies, acne products, diets and chemical peels. This has worked for me! I really hope that this works for other people too, it's just really a confidence booster after so many years of battling acne. I will also post a review in a months time if this continues to work for me. Good Luck!

I've had acne for over 22 years and after my giving birth 3 1/2 years ago the prescription med stopped working. I'm trying other alternatives. So today after spending the morning at the park sweating I decided to cleanse my face. For the heck of it, I rubbed a slice of lemon on my face after my cleanser. (I had bought a huge bag of lemons as part of a natural weight loss drink) So it immediately started burning. I didn't leave it on long, not even 5 minutes. But Whoa after I took it off I could immediately tell a difference. Some of my whiteheads came to the surface immediately. I could see white dots. As I begin to extract my face all of the whiteheads (including those that are resistant to the Proactiv mask) all came up to the surface. I followed up the extraction with the rest of the Proactiv + routine, Steps 2 and 3. I haven't tried lemon water yet, but based on the posts I see here. I may start.
