Question by Ethan: How to deal with freckles and acne treatments at the same time?
Ok, I have some freckles on my face and I want to get rid of them. I researched and read that applying lemon juice can help to get rid of them.
But I’m also applying this gel for my acne (prescribed by my doctor) every night, right before I go to bed. So how should I do this lemon juice thing? Should I apply the lemon juice a few hours before I go to bed, and then just wash my face and apply my acne gel like I normally do?

Maybe you should switch every night. Lemon juice one night and the gel the next.
What I love about lemon juice is that not only does it treat freckles, but acne too! I had horrible acne ;; But I’ve been using nothing but lemon juice for the past 4 months and I have noticed such a huge improvement

Since I was 11 or 12 I’ve had acne issues – it started out mild but eventually my skin became oily and filled with acne; Now 18 years old, I’ve tried ProActive, Clearasil, and now this AcneFree system.
First of all, let me say: Don’t waste your time on ProActive. Of the three I mentioned above, it was the least effective. ProActive is just basically watered-down Clearasil, which is great for use on mild acne.
However, for moderate to severe acne, I highly recommend this product. I’ve been using it for a little more than two weeks and, while my face is not completely free of acne (although I suspect it will be soon), it is much less irritated and my skin does feel softer. I don’t have many bumps, just red blotches where the acne used to be. These mild blotches are going away each passing day.
HOWEVER, I must state: while this product is great for severe acne and works well (yes, better than ProActive, in my opinion) I would NOT recommend using it for mild acne or as some kind of skin care treatment. These are POTENT chemicals that you are putting on your face/chest/back, not some mild antibiotics.
Now, my skin has been very tolerant to acne medications thus far, and I have not experienced any itching, peeling or irritation. However, this product did BURN around my eyes. DO NOT USE IT WITHIN AN INCH OF YOUR EYES! THEY SAY IT WILL BURN, AND THEY MEAN IT!
The third step of the morning routine, which I believe in the repair lotion, is a gritty, sandpaper-feeling substance. In the beginning, it stung when I put it on because of its rough texture and the fact that my skin was sensitive due to the acne. However, once your skin begins to clear up, it won’t bother you so much anymore. For a week or two, you just have to soldier on and deal with it. It is also possible that it will dry your skin out. What many reviewers don’t understand, however, is that this is SUPPOSED to happen. That is how Benzoyl Peroxide and other acne medications work – they dry out the affected area to kill the bacteria and other impurities that cause acne. If you get mild dry skin, that means it is WORKING! If you hate the feeling of dry skin, however, use an oil free or low-oil moisturizer. It will make your skin softer while also not impeding the effect of the acne medication.
Overall, I recommend this product to anyone with moderate to severe acne. This is a very powerful system; to put it in perspective, ProActive and Clearasil have 3-4% Benzoyl Peroxide whereas this system uses 10%. It is a very powerful, potent system. Use it wisely, and don’t be afraid to reduce how often you use it if it irritates your skin. Your skin will gradually become used to it and the burning or irritation will decrease. However, I sincerely must stress to not use this around your eyes – my skin had not become irritated with anything else before, and when I applied it around my eyes, it burned. I don’t mean stung, I mean burned, where there were dark red circles around my eyes (they went away in about 2 days, but were tender to the touch).
Also, it’s not exactly perfume – I notice a few reviewers gave it a bad review because it smelled bad. Yeah, it doesn’t smell the best, but the smell wears off once the lotion has been absorbed into your skin. As long as you’re more interested in losing acne than how it smells, it shouldn’t bother you.
