- How does lemon work? Lemon peel contains two powerful compounds, limonene and Salvestrol Q40, which fight against skin conditions and cancer. Its high content of vitamin C and antioxidants helps rehydrate, firm the skin and combat many skin disorders. In addition, the active ingredient in lemon (citric acid) is a powerful exfoliant and purifier that helps eliminate dead cells and skin.
