onion juice for face - #14001

Mahi

I am worried about my skin after trying this thing my friend suggested — using onion juice for face! Like, I thought it was a bit weird at first, but she said it helped her with acne, and I’ve been struggling with breakouts for a while now. Anyway, I finally gave it a shot, just mixing some onion juice with water and putting it on my face, right? But now I'm not quite sure if it's doing anything good. I mean, I read online that onion juice for face can brighten skin and help with scars, which I kinda need since I've got some dark spots. But I also saw stuff about how it can cause irritation?! Ugh, I'm confused. My skin felt a bit tingly afterward and I started wondering if maybe onion juice for face makes it worse instead of better. I've been using it for about a week, and there’s some redness, and I thought it’d go away, but no. Have any of you tried onion juice for face, and did it work for you? How long before I can expect results, or should I stop using it altogether? I'm kinda freaking out here, don’t want to mess up my skin even more! Help!

Doctors' responses

Onion juice is sometimes recommended in folk remedies for its potential skin benefits given its sulfur content and antioxidants, known to have antibacterial properties. It might sound promising for acne and scars—however, it’s crucial to approach with caution. Onion juice can indeed cause irritation for many people, especially if you have sensitive skin. The tingling and redness you’re experiencing suggest your skin might be reacting to the onion juice, and it’s not uncommon. If you’ve noticed increased redness, it’s wise to discontinue its use to prevent further irritation or an allergic reaction. When it comes to treating acne and dark spots, there are other options that might be more effective and less irritating. Over-the-counter products with active ingredients like salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, or glycolic acid have proven benefits backed by clinical studies. Additionally, if your acne and dark spots are persistent, visiting a dermatologist can provide tailored treatments, potentially including prescription topical treatments or procedures like chemical peels. It’s very important to patch test any new product, natural or otherwise, on a small skin area before widespread use. If redness persists or worsens, consider seeking medical advices to ensure your skin receives proper care. Your skin’s health and retaining its integrity should be the priority, so choosing scientifically-supported methods may save you from unwanted side effects.
