Pros:Dont know but im hoping it will even out tone, get rid of acne scars, and pimples, and my black heads (bought some black head strips today though in case this dont work..)
Cons:Nothing...although I have to admit, toothpaste DID work for about 4 days then broke my face out AGAIN -.-...but still the compliments from people in them 4 days were remarkable!
Bottom Line:HMMMM havnt tried it, bought some lemon juice 100% today at wal-mart, its in fridge at the moment..I will try in about a hour or so. I want my acne gone SOOOO bad because I got great hair,good body,pretty clothes, really nice personality and well..the acne thing makes my self esteem go down SOOOO MUCH!!!!

-please work almighty lemon juice,please!-

Pros:It really works! It clears up acne, prevents future breakouts and improves your overall complexion.
Cons:It stings a little when you put it on, but you get used to it.
Bottom Line:I apply the lemon juice from a fresh lemon after every time I wash my face. I wear it all day, and apply my make-up on top of it. I apply lemon juice again at night and wear it overnight. It has greatly improved my skin! I used to have bad cystic acne. Before the lemon, I was on all kinds of antibotics for a year and was using Retin-A for two years. They would work for a couple of months and then my body would become immune to it. I was about to get on Accutane but I was sick of taking pills. My mother suggested I try using a lemon. And I love it! It is all I use now!

Pros:Evens out skin tone, clears the face and keeps it looking fresh
Cons:Stings for a minute or so but subsides fast.
Bottom Line:I have very ugly scars on my chin from plucking hair....it just left me depressed and frustrated. Looked like I had a perpetual shadow when it was actually scars more than hair on my chin. I tried VitaK, Bio Oil, Mederma, dozens of moisturisers...all to no avail. Finally, I started applying lemon juice 2- 3 weeks ago coz my mom said that the dark tan on her elbows almost disappeared after she started applying lemon on them daily. I phoo phooed it initially coz, heck, lemons ! How good can a fruit be ? But anyways, I decided to give it a try, and lo behold ! Been great for me, the skin around my chin has evened out quite a bit...I use it around the mouth and chin area as well as on my nose and under my eyes. And after my first application, I scrub the area gently with sugar. So its a good exfoliator too...and all natural. This fruit does wonders. Try it...worked for me.

Pros:Works very well, and improvement can be observed the next morning. Also smells very wonderful. And another great thing, If the lemon juice drips from my face into my mouth, I love savoring the juice and knowing that it is very natural
Cons:Burns very badly. I have to hit my pillow very violently to relieve the pain.
Bottom Line:heel goed! You can also eat the lemon when ure finished or use the remains to make lemonade, maybe even set up a lemonade stand with the excess/runoff juice.

Pros:Its natural,its cheap,it smells good,sucks up the excess oil but doesnt dry the skin out too much,adds glow to the skin too.
Cons:stings and itches a bit the first few seconds of applying.
Bottom Line:I have used it diluted after my weekly facial regiments and undiluted feshly squeezed on other days.I apply my usual moisturiser over it and it stops itching.My scars have faded so much,its really amazing.When u have a fresh pimple,just apply lemon juice on it after squeezing out the pus and blood and it doesnt leave a scar.I tried this and it works.Now i get maybe one pimple a month and its one of those small whiteheads unlike before when i used to have at least 3 pus pimples every week.
My complexion has even out.I apply lemon juice mixed with olive oil on my body as well every night b4 i go to bed and my skin has improved too..no more pimples on my back and old scars fading.I dont need to shave as often because my skin is moisturised and very soft.Its the best thing that has happened to me since ive been plagued by acne the past 4 years.
