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. Try it!

Pros:I've only used it once for a couple of days, found the discoloration (acne "scars") to be lighter and my skin to be alot glowy and soft. And lemons just smell goood! =)
Cons:ITCHES! STINGS! BURNS! like a MF'er hahaha
Bottom Line:All the Cons are worth it though if you are consistent, and careful with how you use the lemons. I'm thinking about buying maybe a pound of them when I get my paycheck on Thursday, and start the regimen again. If you are looking for a natural way to lighten and brighten those stubborn acne "scars", you should definitely try the lemons! Make sure to use sunscreen, SPF is your friend, sepecially when it comes to those terrible skin discolorations. ( SPF 30 or higher.) For pitted "icepick" acne scars, however, I would recommend Camellia Oil (must be 100% Pure). It takes awhile, depending on the severity of the scars, so, it is not a miracle oil. If you would like to know where to get such oil, email me at wannabkes@[link removed] with the subject 'where to find camellia oil.' I like to help people with their troubles especially with skin care =) I wish everyone the best of luck with their skin care! And if you do have any questions at all, feel free to email me =) thank you!

Pros:*Leaves the skin very soft!
*Is slowly getting rid of acne scarring.
*gives the skin a beautiful glow!!
Cons:*Stings and itches like awful! But only for a minute or two!
Can leave skin dry, so extra-moisturize! I prefer honey!
Bottom Line:I've tried EVERYTHING to reduce my redness, from over-the-counter products to home-made remedies hoping to clear my skin, and honestly lemon juice does both to a certain degree. Like anything else, it just takes time.

Pros:Clears up acne, reduces freckles, fades the redness.
Cons:Burns a little, can't go in sun much.
Bottom Line:It works great, better than any actual acne treatments. Your skin feels refreshed and brand new after about a week. Although, you should not use it daily. Otherwise, your skin will get really dry and start peeling. For oily skin, I'd say use it about four times a week. People with dry skin, like only twice a week. :D

Pros:1. I've used it for about two weeks straight and found that my scars are about 50% paler than they were, which was a godsend!
2. Makes my skin incredibly soft, my boyfriend even commented saying it was so very kissable ;)
Cons:1. Im not sure it prevented acne a lot, but if there was a new pimple coming up that i could just about see it would dry it up in under two days
Bottom Line:I admit that my acne is very light now (((never used to be, cysts and everything))) but my problem now is the scars left by those bloody darn cysts! So the bottom line is, LEMON JUICE IS WONDERFUL FOR SCARS!
after two months of constant use i recon they'll be 100% gone

Pros:Reduces redness, pore size, treats seborrheic dermatitis, acne breakout frequency and severity.
Cons:Slight burning sensation, initial redness, and itchiness are common.
Bottom Line:I have light acne, but suffer from seborrhoeic dermatitis on the sides of my nose. And have used a whole slew of different products to help reduce their unsightly appearances and nothing has worked as well as lemon juice.

I apply the lemon juice with a cotton swab all over my face and left it overnight. After the first night, my skin felt and looked amazing. Pore sizes were significantly reduced, the patch of dry skin from the dermatitis began to smooth out, and the read splotches around my nose and mouth were gone. It also made my face extremely soft and supple. I do this treatment nightly, and have noticed amazing changes in my skin's texture.

This product is natural, and extremely affordable - the best part, it actually works! If you have sensitive skin, try diluting the juice with a little bit of water or mix in some warm honey to help counter act the stinging. Make sure you do some light exfoliation once or twice a week when doing this treatment to promote hea
