Pros:It really works!
Cons:It stings initially, but it goes away in a few minutes.
Bottom Line:This actually does the job! I've tried all kinds of things, even prescribed medications, but they don't work -- lemon juice does! It's affordable and fast.

Pros:It really works!
Cons:It is sticky on the face. Stings. You need to use sunblock/moisturizer.
Bottom Line:It really works. Actually, acne is very hard to treat. I have used a lot of topical medicines like proactiv, tretinoin, clindamycin, even feminine wash but to no avail. Sometimes these medicines work but after a few weeks, acne starts to go back. So its really is frustrating. I tried ACV but somehow its not consistent so I tried to use lemons on my face. Although it stings specially after you shave, it is very easy to use and is available at a local market/grocery. It is very consistent, although I do get a few pimples now and then but really I love this fruit. It also improved my skin tone and my friends do recognize the difference. I just wash my face with water then topically apply the lemons and rinse after an hour. Sometimes I just leave it on my face until morning. I recommend this. There are no quick remedies, you just have to stick with something that works and voila you'll have a clear skin you've been dreaming of!

Pros:like msot of you readingthis i have suffered long and hard with acne used everything in the market. most products had little to no effect or made acne worse. this clears skin makes glow, smooth, and makes lighter i can see the results already!!!
Cons:stings and itches a bit. difficult to know how much to use since lemon jucie has no thickness to it feell like it is never enough on..
Bottom Line:works wonders..apply at night and dont wash off until the morning...i works so well to the point where i want to tell everyone.. i also started taking internally incorporatiing lemons into my diet.look up all the benefits they have online u'll be shocked. i think this is a long term treatment havent use that long but usually i get a pimple once every 3-4 days since started using havent gotten one!! and my skin is startingto show major imporvement and even i little lighter..so i think this will work very quick im guessing in 2 months or so i will have skin like a baby

Pros:AWESOME...GLOWY SKIN, looks like a facial...When i put my serum on after I HAVE NO DRY SKIN!!!!
Cons:stings slightly sometimes but not bad at all
Bottom Line:I use the RealLemon Juice...on a cottonball, drench my face all over...have been using it for like 3 or 4 days or so...already I am noticing a difference in my acne that was HORRIBLE...I have had acne breakouts for the past 6 mnths nothing at all has helped and I seriously have tried everything there is....my little bumps are diminishing I can tell...haven't had new acne formations, and my face is more even in color...I use this everyday after I wash my face with my Desert Essence Thoroughly Clean Face Wash...It is a miracle!!!!!!!!! Dump all the expenisive commercial crap and try this, just keep it up...it takes a while for new skin to come through and heal!!!!

Pros:Works wonders! My skin is like porcelain smooth & glowing with use once a night or sometimes in the morning. I see few wrinkles are less noticeable, seem to stretch the skin too!
Cons:Stings for a minute but goes away.
Bottom Line:I thought vitamin C, an antioxidant direct on the skin is great & I was willing to spend lots of money on this product. But I thought, why not try fresh lemon juice, best source of Vit C. So I'd cut up fresh lemon in small wedges & lightly squeeze it all over my face & neck. Stings for a bit that was OK thereafter. Wow, after 6 weeks, Myself & others notice that my skin glows, smooth & reddish blotches dissappeared. I'm not using as much foundation as I used to. Always use sunblock 30-55 SPF. Oh my neck also looks as young as my face. Hey I'm 56 & looks 35. Try this nature's miracle. TIP: store cut up lemons in dark container or jar inside fridge since Vitamin C is destroyed by light. Keep it on face for 10-15 min then rinse & apply your regular face products.

Pros:dries out those shiny lumps
gives the skin a lovely glow
lightens dark marks
Cons:burns initially
may overdry the skin
Bottom Line:this stuff really works, i used to be soooo pretty until the acne took over. Tried everything from, contraception, proactive, dermalogica, you name it i tried it and the results were not worth the price paid.
I use the lemon juice neat on a cotton ball in the morning and evenings. My skin was glowing by day 3 and my acne has dried out. In time my skin will smooth over. Thank god for mama nature!

Pros:Works great, lightens scars, healthy glow, smells good, skin feels soft, and bottom line WORKS FAST
Cons:Dosent stop future pimples, burns like salt on a wound, dry kin
Bottom Line:I had a really bad break out around my mouth and my acne was glowing like the sun, i also had scars on my cheeks and after using the lemon juice for about a little under a week, the scars on my cheeks after one year have NEVER looked better, any other acne is starting to dry out and flatten out. only bad side is the dry skin.
