Pros -Lightens up scars to the point of no return
-Cleans the skin
-Promotes new cell regeneration to a minor degree
Cons -Burns the skin (this is natural, power through it)
-Makes skin feel stiff (again, natural, no worries)
-Can drip onto clothing, not good, so be careful.
Bottom line In such a cheap package, it is incredible to see such results. I've had acne for about a year, and while this does NOT get rid of breakouts themselves, the scars are reasonably taken care of.
My scars seem as though they will be gone fully soon.
First, buy about 6 lemons.
Second, cut a lemon in half on the first night. Wash your hands with water (just water) thoroughly. Squeeze juice into your hands (ignore the seeds). You should have about a pool the size of a quarter. Lightly pat this onto your face. Leave this on for about an hour.
Thirdly, put the two halves of lemon in a refrigerator. Each half can be used as much as desired, but they lose their potency over time.
Next, after you find it difficult to squeeze any more juice out, get a juicer, juice the lemon, and add the juice to a cup of water, which you should drink.
Finally, and most importantly, drink LOTS of water (about 10 cups a day). And use moisterizer when you can, this helps the cells to regenerate f

Pros It works almost immediately for me, it helps reduce black heads and whatnot, while also lightening blemishes and scars.
Cons It stings slightly for a few seconds, and it strips your face of natural oils for a while, making your skin more prone to acne.
Bottom line I am really glad I tried using lemon juice.

Pros The Lemon juice leaves my skin clearer overnight, lightening also freckles and any blemishes and marks that I have.
Cons Stings a lot for a while (but worth it/just put up with it! xD its no worse than aftershave xDDD).
Bottom line Really awesome idea, spent loads and loads on all of the different brand named products, going from one to another after realising each one didnt work. I also would like to recomment using Avocado's as a face mask, just buy one, cut it open, scoop the soft middle bit with a spoon, then blend it into a paste, then apply. then add lemon to skin afterwards.

Pros Works better than anything I've ever tried. Screw ProActive!
Cons Acid wear on teeth and it will make skin very photosensitive.
Bottom line Topically
Remember to use a fresh lemon everyday, the minerals that make lemons so great are only good a few minutes after you cut the lemon, same with any fruit! When applied topically will sting really bad (so what, well worth it) and kill all bacteria on face, give it about a full week and face will be clear. I use it after shaveing with cuts and stuff, it hurts so bad I have to jump up and down (at this point I don't care about pain, I just want a clear face)

Acid Wear
The really white spots that start to show up on the bottom portions of your teeth, if you have seen them they are acid wear...always drink it with a straw, then take some water and swish it around after to take extra precaution. Remember to drink all juices with a straw as they are pretty much acids.

Photosensitvity:
Don't wear in sun, it will double your skin damage! Apply it on face, leave on over night and rinse off in morning. I wear throughout day and just stay out of sun as much as p

Pros It works! I've been using it for a week now and I notice my acne is clearing up BIG TIME! Its also fading the red marks left behind from acne. Makes skin look clear, smoother, and health! And its cheap! Better than all other products I've used.
Cons It burns, but after a couple of days, when your skin starts to clear up, your skin will get used to it and it wont burn. (in the beginning)Your skin looks irritated red when its on skin, but the redness fades later.
Bottom line THE TRUTH IS IT WORKS! Before you think of buying name brand products you see you tv, try this first! I've tried everything from Proactiv, Neutrogena, antibiotics cream and pills, expensive lotions, basically most of what you see in the walgreens skin care section, and lemon juice on the skin is the best. At night after I get out the shower I squeeze fresh lemon juice in a bowl, get cotton balls a soak it up, then apply to face. Leave on for about 10 to 15 minutes, then I rinse it off in the sink (but used the sink drinking filter to get clean filtered water instead of coming from the tap). If you feel it burning, just take the pain keep yourself doing something to forget about the burn. When you rinse it off your skin feels great. At that moment your skin will or may look RED where you have acne, but it fades and goes away. After that I apply the Lily of the Desert Organic Aloe Vera. Its helps sooth the skin, moisturizes it, and helps with the acne and scars

Pros It takes time, but IT WORKS!
Cons My main problem is the ITCHING. omg it itches so much, but it feels great after you rinse it off with nice cold/warm (cool) water.
Time.....
Bottom line Ive been at war with acne for about 4 years now, its been kicking my butt everyone since it attacked me, but now i found a defense. LEMONS! they do work. Ive been using lemons for about 8 days now and all i can say mr dark smudge on my cheek has lightend up and is about to fade away anyday now. My only problem with using lemons is the itching part. oh btw YOU DO BREAK out when you start using it. at least i did. but it wasnt major, just little white heads here and there. in few days they will be gone. Scars on my chin, cheel, jaw. There getting much better. Less RED, but light brown. again ive been only using this for 8 days, i have 23 more days left to eqaul a month (it should only take 1 month to lighten your scars completely) MY WAY: take 1/4 of a lemon (cut it into 4 equal slices) cut that in half, take 1/2 squeeze the juice into a cotton ball. the other 1/2 smeere it over your face. take the juiced up cotton ball and smooth it out over your face. leave on for 10-15 min wash.
