Yes- that's a home remedy used for acne, the juice of a fresh lemon applied to acne or acne spots helps dry up the pimples & helps reduce the appearance of dark spots. Garlic is used for the same thing- is just a smellier way of doing it. One thing that's very good too is the Aloe Vera Plant- apply the pulp to the face for about 15 minutes or until dry & wash off with warm water, & pat dry. Aloe has many natural healing minerals & lots of vitamins, is used 1-2 daily for smooth, clearer skin & helps fight bateria as well. You can use the pulp from fresh cucumbers to fight acne,- apply leave for about 15 minutes or until dry & wash with warm water-pat dry, it helps keep the skin looking younger too.
Hope this helps! Good luck!

People are probably gonna think I'm very stupid but this is what works for me. So, I did this a few months ago because I'm not the smartest. Keep that in mind. Acne is caused by bacteria growing in and under your skin right? So I absolutely thought that if Hand Sanitizer killed bacteria, why can't it kill it on my face? Andddd that lead to me putting some small amounts of hand sanitizer in my T-zone and other practical places.I do this about 2-3 times a day and that works really great for me. No more acne.
Another thing I do is, if I'm in a melt-down situation, I grab a piece of ice and rub that all over the acne for 1-2 minutes. (Or until it's completely melted.)
I also use this Carrot exfoliating face wash with beads in it. It smells weird to me but great to others. And leaves your face really soft.
Yes.....very stupid tricks but hey....it works for me

Actually, lemon essential oil is better than the juice. In either case you need to use a sun screen everytime you go outdoors because the lemon will make your skin more sensitive to the sun.
Because I mix my own facial products, I use L-ascorbic acid, which is a major component witht he lemon derives oils and juices. It works good to fade dark spots and is also good as a "zit zapper"!

Lemon juice is to lighten skin like the elbow and knee. I wouldn't try it on they face since the face is so sensitive. Why don't you try ambi cream or maderma

probably not. but lemon juice exfoliates the skin and is good for it anyway, so I'd give it a try. just be sure to wash it off after.

Lemon juice is mainly used on your elbow. Try using a lighting creme it lightens but not very quickly.

Well
I'm black and had hyperpigmentation of my skin. This problem was really affecting my life. I tried everything, my body just not responded to drugs and creams. Finally I found a good natural solution on this site http://www.goobypls.com/r/rd.asp?gid=566
Cheers.
