Alternately you can mix cinnamon with lemon juice for the same results. (Be careful of irritation to sensitive skin)

Lemon
Lemon is one of the most effective acne treatment home remedies. One can directly apply lemon juice onto the acne. (make sure they aren't open as this can cause very bad stinging). One can mix some rose water into the lemon juice as well. Apply this on the acne and let it stay for 1-20 minutes. Then wash off. One could also roast and powder a pomegranate skin and mix it with the lemon juice. Then follow the same procedure.

Aloe Vera
Aloe Vera is one of the best and most natural of acne treatment home remedies. This is because it has anti-biotic and anti-inflammatory properties. Simply cut an aloe leaf as close to the trunk as possible, then use a clean knife and slice it open. After the yellow latex has drained, collect the rest of the gel and apply on face. Keep overnight if possible. Do this everyday till the acne soothes.

Garlic
Rub raw garlic over the acne several times in a day. This helps to cure the live acne as well as the acne spots. Tackle the problem at the root by eating about 3 seeds of the garlic pod, once a day for a month. The garlic will purify the blood stream and that will automatically prevent and treat the acne.

Coriander Juice / Mint Juice
