No no do not use Colgate lemon baking soda or anything else with different ph than our skin that might damage your skin barrier. If u use lemon use it at night hypersensitivity endayameta with sunlight. I recommend using retinol or vit A cream any pharmacy yegegal do your research about the side effects wisely tho. Vitamin e and niacinamide serums are really good. Home remedies~ Honey, aleovera, green tea, yetefela telba, yogurt, tumeric.... If you are cleaning and extracting what is in your pore make sure to clean it 1st and you tools or hand and use antibiotics later
