Lemon oil, derived from the peels of citrus fruits, has garnered significant attention due to its antibacterial qualities and potential applications in skincare products. This review paper examines the antibacterial characteristics of limonene, citral, alpha-terpinene, beta-pinene, gamma-terpinene, and geranial, all of which are constituents of lemon oil. These components have demonstrated antimicrobial action against a diverse range of bacteria and fungi. The antibacterial qualities of lemon oil are believed to stem from its ability to impede cellular functions, damage the cell membranes of germs, and hinder the enzymatic processes of microbes. Furthermore, lemon oil has demonstrated potential anti-comedogenic effects, primarily by regulating sebum production and reducing pore size. The antibacterial and anti-comedogenic characteristics of lemon oil mostly stem from its constituents, namely limonene and citral. Lemon oil is commonly used to commercial skincare products due to its potential advantages in promoting clear and healthy skin. The antibacterial and anti-comedogenic qualities of lemon oil make it a valuable ingredient in skincare products. However, further research is needed to understand the mechanisms and effectiveness of lemon oil. Gaining insight into the potential of lemon oil can facilitate the creation of innovative, organic, and efficient skincare solutions.
