Question 1

lemon juice for removing hyperpigmentation caused by acne. i read comments about using this and they say its good but too acidic. is it effective?

Accepted Answer

No: Postinflammatory pigmentation will fade naturally but may take up a few years. I hope you are presently being treated for acne; it can be managed effectively by ur physician. There's little to do for the little spots; a depigmenting agent is difficult to use and may end up causing more of a mess than it's worth. Enjoy life and the challenges of youth and be reassured that most people don't notice.

Question 2

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.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

No.: Not recognized to do anything for your skin.

Question 4

does lemon juice work as a good acne remedy?

Accepted Answer

No: I have never heard of lemon juice being used as a remedy for acne. You should see your general doctor or dermatologist who can give you prescription medications to get it better.

Question 5

does honey and lemon juice help clear up acne?

Accepted Answer

No: At best, these are adjuncts. Your mainstay of treatment is over-the-counter topical benzoyl peroxide. If you are not clear in two weeks, get with your personal physician who may add a topical retinoic acid derivative, topical clindamycin, a systemic antibiotic or some other agent. All acne can be managed nowadays and you deserve the benefits of 21st-century treatment.

Question 6

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Prob not effective: I have not heard of this as being an effective treatment but you can always try your own experiment using traditional treatments as recommended above on one side ofmthe face oand the hone/vitamin c on the other half.

Question 8

Question 9

can i use lemon juice for a glowing skin or curing acne? how far is it helpful?

Accepted Answer

Not really: Lemon juice is very healthy, but won't help your skin or cure acne. If you drink it , it is a natural diuretic and can be helpful to dieters!

Question 10

please tell me if you can apply acne cream after putting lemon juice on your face?

Accepted Answer

Better things: Than lemon juice you can use to treat acne.  Cleanse face, use acne cream, than a moisturizer.  If you want acid on face than see a doctor to put a chemical peel on it.
