I had horrible acne as a teenager that went away when I went on the pill. Of course it came right back when I went off the pill a few years ago, and I've only just recently got it under control (by switching to organic dairy, if you can believe it). The problem is that I've got these ugly red marks (scars?) where the worst of the pimples used to be. That's mainly along my jawline and on the sides of my neck.

I've read that rubbing lemon juice on red acne scars can reduce their appearance over time. Has anyone had any luck with this? I just started trying this out yesterday and I hope it won't be a waste of time!

I would love to know if this works, I also have the red marks on my checks from the lovely Accutane. Keep us posted !

I would also be interested as I am looking for a way to minimize acne scars on my bikini line.

I don't know if this works or not, please keep us posted. I have a few acne scars I'd like to see disappear.

But just a word of caution: don't go out in the sun after rubbing lemon juice on your skin, it will get stained.

I tried this yesterday on my chest and it does work. Today I've noticed that the scars aren't as prevalent. I'm sure within a week it'll all be gone. Try it people!

I doubt you can see results from it overnight... but still over the long term I would be interested to know. I also have them around the jawline.

but I did see results overnight... I'm not saying that it completely cleared up ALL my scars but it looked lighter and less noticeable the next day.

I would be interested in seeing before and after pictures of anyone who has seen results.

Sorry I haven't updated sooner. I did this for about a week and didn't see much of an improvement, unfortunately. I actually started to break out again. Sometimes I wonder if I need to see a dermatologist to get rid of the acne scars I hate having to wear make-up every day to cover up my scars.
