Question 10

does lemon juice help to clear up acne?

Accepted Answer

No but may exfoliate: Lemon juice is citric acid and using this on your face is very similar to getting a weak (fruit acid) chemical peel. So it may help your skin by exfoliating and preventing clogged pores. However, it can also cause a photosensitive skin rash. It will not help treat the underlying process responsible for the acne. My advice is to see a dermatologist who can advise you how best to treat your acne.
