Pros:Very cheap, natural, no side effects that I've noticed yet, really seems to have made a difference in my skin.
Cons:Slow at fading red spots
Bottom Line:I've never actually had acne except for some mild flare-ups during stressful times, but for some reason, I have had a two month major break-out that has been hitting me in waves. It seems to finally be in control and I think that lemom juice applied topically sped up the end of the process dramatically. If only I knew about it two months ago..
I've been using it for about two weeks today and my skin just has about three healing, faded pimples and nothing else! I wear it overnight. I had a particularly large pustule and lemon juice is what finally shrank it down. I'm not sure it would work for everyone but this is the clearest skin I've had in months and everyone has noticed. I'm finally getting my face back. This isn't the only thing I've been doing, though. The same time I started applying lemon juice, I also stared drinking water with a wedge of lemon squeezed in and I bought a Burdock root/Red Root compound at my local health store. Burdock is amazing for acne - look it up!

Pros:Something you can find easily, Cheaper then advertised products, and its a fruit.
Cons:If your skin is sensitive, then it might sting or itch, so you need to mix it with a little water.
Bottom Line:I've used to products like Acne-Free or proactive, to get rid of the black heads around my lips and some moderate acne, which showed little results. When I tried applying some lemon (juice squeezed from a lemon) I GOT FAST RESULTS THE NEXT DAY. This is worth trying once. I put some on at night with a little water and the next morning, black heads are lighter and other stuff. You have to try this. I was a little doubting the whole thing but I tried it once and got results. I never knew lemons can work miracles. Maybe I should put this on faded scars o__o

Pros:I have severe scarring because I pick all the time. i get so depressed, makeup doesn't cover it up. I have tried everything. lemon juice healed it in two days - neosporin, vit e gel, aloe didn't. this stuff is amazing and all my whiteheads gone
Cons:its a pain to keep buying the lemons, but worth it with results

Pros:Within two days all my zits were half as swollen as they were before, and some of them completely went away. This stuff is the best thing I have tried on my skin yet.
Cons:It kinda makes my skin a little itchy but it's completely worth the results.
Bottom Line:It's great, and I can save so much money now because I don't need any of the other products I used to buy all the time. I like to apply the lemon juice with a cotton ball and rub it on my face, let it dry, and then since it leaves a sticky residue I take a wet rag and leave it on my face for a minute after I've done the lemon juice.

Pros:easy, natural, and above all, CHEAP!!
Cons:shouldn't apply to whole face if you have dry, sensitive skin.
Bottom Line:At first, I used a cotton ball to apply the lemon juice to the brown spots on my face, but noticed that the skin around the brown spots was also lightening slightly. So I switched to applying the juice with q-tips, careful just to apply directly to brown spots, and none of the surrounding clear skin. If your skin seems oily, it may be because it is actually dry, and producing more oil to hydrate itself. My skin used to be normal but I had a few spots occasionally so I tried Proactiv. That TOTALLY dried out my skin and made it really shiny, tight, and red. So I apply olive oil to my entire face before I go to bed, and it has made my face glow and not shiny anymore.. and rarely do people break out when they use olive oil on their skin.. it produces fast and lovely results!!

Pros:SKIN FEELS VERY CLEAN AND TIGHTER. I ALSO FELT LIKE I HAD A NATURAL GLOW AND DIDN'T NEED BLUSH OR BRONZER.
Cons:AFTER 4 DAYS I DEVELOPED A SLIGHT RASH (TINY RED BUMPS) ON MY CHEEKS. I SHOULD HAVE DILUTED THE LEMON JUICE MORE OR NOT HAVE LEFT IT ON AS LONG. I DID IT FOR A HALF HOUR AT A TIME WHICH I BELIEVE CAUSED THE RASH.
Bottom Line:I LOVE LEMON JUICE!!! WORKS AMAZING... EVENS OUT SKIN TONES AND LEAVES U FEELING SO CLEAN!!! (JUST WATCH OUT FOR OVEREXPOSING UR SKIN TO THE JUICE AND IRRITATING IT!)
Recommended:Yes

Pros:Lightens blemishes fast
Get's rid of blackheads
Smells nice
Cons:Can burn and if you're not careful it can dry out skin way too fast!
Bottom Line:I started lemon treatment about two weeks ago and noticed a difference on my blemishes by the second day. I let lemon juice sit on my skin for 20min. two times a day (morning & night), then rinsed. The only scary thing, I was peeling quite a bit, but it didn't hurt at all, it just looked weird. I only do it for about 3 days in a row then take a 5-7 day break. The lemon can be harsh on the skin!
And I noticed that peeling is easier to come off when skin is wet. DO NOT pick at dry skin, if it flakes off that's good, but don't pull on it.
