Pros Smells great
You can tell it's working almost immediately
Helped with acne scars
Cons Some may not like the sting
Bottom line I tried this for several months and really enjoyed it, actually. Lemon smells very clean to me so I enjoyed the smell, and I felt like my acne scars were helped a little bit. It didn't do much to clear my acne, though, but helping with the scars was enough in my opinion. Some people may not like the stinging feeling, but I thought it was good because it made me feel like it was doing it's job. I also appreciate that it's natural.

Pros Lighting skin
fade spot marks
reduce spots
shrinks pores
reduce blackheads
Cons Stings a lot, especially if you have sensitive skin
Bottom line It made my skin really light and faded some of my old spot scars =) made my pores smaller and my face was less oily.

Dilute if you have sensitive skin and always remember to use an oil free moisturiser as it can be too drying.

I urge you to get it a try!

Pros faded away scars
prevents breakouts
inexpensive
natural
removes redness
Cons itches
stings
Bottom line my chin and cheeks were covered in scars, had red patches, and kept getting new break outs for months. I tried several different products and nothing seemed to work.I apply lemon juice with a cotton ball on my face and sleep with it on. Ive been doing this for about a week and my skin looks so much better. My skin hasnt looked this good in months.

Pros Actually works
Cheaper than a facewash
Smells nice
Cons Stings a little when applied
Stings more after shaving/with open cuts
Bottom line Brilliant, I was sceptical at a simple lemon being able to tame my acne but it worked! I just cut the lemon into slices and squeeze it onto my face and rub it in, brush my teeth to ignore the stinging which isn't that bad, then wash it off with water simple! I found to use it each night a lemon will last 3-4 days and it really worked for me!

Pros Very inexpensive.

Smells good and leaves my skin feeling very soft.
Cons Stings a little bit, but not very much.

Didnt quite have the effect on me that alot of people on here said it had on them. I am also on minocyclin acne pills and an acne gel and I was using the lemon when i washed my face but I didnt see a change.
Bottom line I tried this for about three weeks and saw no change in my skin so I quit. Although it was a bit softer I didnt feel that it cleared up my acne like I was hoping. Maybe I will try it again in the future for a longer period of time and see if that helps.

Pros -cheap
-doesn't dry out skin
-fades scars
-less oil
-kills acne
-natural!!!!
Cons -stings a little bit
Bottom line bottom line, it works. Better then all of that store brand name crap to. No hurt in trying it, it will only cost you a dollar. Only thing annoying about it is the lady at the grocery store asking what I'm planning to do with 5 lemons.

Pros lightens complexion
reduces redness and scars
natural
easy to use
doesn't dry out skin
WORKS FAST
Cons stings and itches a bit, but not too bad
Bottom line It really really works! And it does not make your acne worse before it gets better like so many other products do.
After washing my face with gentle soap I just take a lemon slice and lightly rub it all over my face and let it dry. It does sting a bit, but it goes away in about 30 seconds, and then i wash it off after a while and apply a good moisturizer. It fades scars quickly, and if there's a pimple coming, it seems to nip it in the bud and reduces redness. Plus, it is cheap and natural, it feels good to know what you're putting on your face! I also have freckles which I don't mind, but it lightened them too, and now my skin is starting to look brighter and smoother every day.

p.s. i would still be careful at first, because it might irritate sensitive skin, and everyone reacts differently, i hope it helps others like it helped me
