In this recipe, we’ll create a simple DIY serum you can use to spot treat acne scars. However, it’s also great for treating aging spots (and smells delicious!)
There are many amazing benefits of lemon water, and below, we’ll go over some of its best topical uses.
Lemon not only helps fade scars, but can also heal and treat existing acne, exfoliate skin, and remove blackheads. It also helps keep your skin moisturized, treating your acne without overdrying your already irritated skin.

Vegetable glycerin, another common ingredient in facial serums, acts as a toner and moisturizer. It promotes water retention in your skin while also treating oily spots. (A win-win situation.)
I recommend using darker kitchenware to make this recipe, as the yellow citrus can stain lighter bowls and plates.
Note: As with all topical products, be sure to first test a small spot of skin for adverse reactions.
