Does lemon juice really cure acne.?

I've recently started breaking out and i've heard that lemon juice helps your acne go away. My acne isn't severe, there just a few bumps here and there. Would lemon juice make them go away.?Does lemon juice really cure acne.?
No, lemon juice does not cure acne. Beware of using any products for acne unless they have been prescribed or recommended by your doctor. People make all kinds of suggestions about the best thing to do to cure acne. Some cures I’ve heard include putting oatmeal, honey, lemon juice, tea tree oil, cucumber, vinegar, milk of magnesia or toothpaste on your face. Practically every cosmetics company and company that makes personal care products makes something that is a “sure cure” for acne. If we think about this, and use some common sense, we have to come to the conclusion that there is no quick or easy cure for acne, because if there was it would be well known and doctors would be telling everyone about it.





Numerous companies make a lot of money persuading people to buy products that at worst will make the acne worse, and at best may help some people a little. Often fewer products are better. People often make their acne much worse by using too many products. There really is no quick fix for acne. Don’t spend a lot of money on products just because their ads say that they will cure acne. Your doctor is the best person to ask for help, and he or she may recommend some prescription medication or non-prescription treatment that may be suitable for you..





There are some very simple and basic things you can do that cost nothing. Keep your face or any other area affected by acne very clean. Any mild antibacterial soap will help with that. Rinse the area well to remove all soap residue. Drink plenty of water – it really does help to clear up acne. Eat a nutritious diet and get enough sleep. A healthy life style will make a difference. Try to reduce the stress in your life – stress contributes to acne, so also probably the more you worry about the acne and focus on it, the worse it will be.





Probably the most useful and effective things you can do are to apply hot compresses to pustules and cysts and never to pick or squeeze pimples. Playing with or popping pimples, no matter how careful and clean you are, nearly always makes bumps stay redder and bumpier longer.





Here are a few informative links with additional ideas about preventing and treating acne.

Does lemon juice really cure acne.?
I don't know about lemon, but i know from expierence that honey works. Put a dab of honey on a bandaid and put it on your acne over night and it helps alot. Also I have used 24/7 severe acne wash that works really good that is about 5.00 at walmart. Report Abuse

Also Mint julep masquse by queen helene has really helped me and you can get that at family dollar for 2.50. That of all things has really helped my skin! Report Abuse

No, the lemon juice is acidic, which will cause the skin to peel -- but it's not the most beneficial acid for the skin and can cause excessive irritation (even more than your acne is causing). Stick with glycolic acid or salicylic acid that is used in anti-acne products to treat your skin if you're looking for something to cause exfoliation. You can also use benzoyl peroxid or sulfur, as well. Lemon juice was likely used centuries ago before other, more beneficial (and far less irritating) alternatives existed.






Some believe that the acids in it can help. It can also irritate your skin. Depends on the person.
it could.. but i sounds stupid. just get proactive, or that wave thing
