| Pros | It smoothes, brightens, tightens and clears your face. Acne scars are left minimal or not visible and pores are noticeably reduced. It also removes excess oil on the face and works as a toner as well! |
|---|---|
| Cons | It itches for the first 30 seconds, stings for about 1-3 mins (depending on the person and their tolerance to pain, and how much is applieed) and leaves the face feeling tight (this may be seen as a pro aswell) stings on fresh spots and eye area. |
| Bottom line | I gave it a 4 because it stings and does not clear all spots At night, I use my face wash scrub etc. and then instead of using my toner I apply half a lemon to my face. I do so by cutting a whole lemon in half, and gently rubbing the lemon all over my face (even in the non-affected areas) and squeezing when I run out of juice. If i do use my toner it will only be to remove any extra dirt my cleanser and scrub may have missed but I rely on the lemon to do my toners previous job of tightening my face, reducing pore size etc. In the morning I wake up and wash my face with my facewash (this process also helps remove the lemon juice as well as the nights dirt) and then I tone and moisturize. If I am planning on staying in that day or am not going out till later on then I will once again repeat the lemon juice application. I apply the lemon juice whenever possible i.e. straight after school, after any sports or activities, if i've been in the garden etc be persistent to |

| Pros | Has the ability to bleach skin thus lighten acne scars. Gives skin a glow. Cheap, easy to put on. |
|---|---|
| Cons | Slight burn |
| Bottom line | I have clear skin on most of my face with the exception of my forehead. I have over 10 pimples/scars on my forehead alone! I tried mederma, toothpaste, you name it, none of it has worked. So someone told me about using lemons as an astrigent. I decided to give it a try, I've only used this for 2 nights so far and it does to an extent lighten scars but i think it should take a week or two for more visible changes. I will continue to use it as a spot treatment on my bumps and scars. I leave it on overnight and apply it with a cutip. I did get 1 new pimple however in the last 2 nights so i dont know if it was the lemon that caused it or just my skin getting more pimples on it own. Nevertheless if you have scars and blemishes putting some juice on them is worth a shot. I will come back with an update in about a week. |

| Pros | Smells nice, cleanses your skin, burns away acne, lightens your skin (this could be seen as a con, however), leaves your skin smooth, easy to get, completely natural, tasty if you get it in your mouth, leaves your skin feeling clean, and much more. |
|---|---|
| Cons | Makes your skin lighter (this can be seen as a pro, as well), stings, may dry your skin, may make your skin peel if you use too much on an area with no acne. |
| Bottom line | This is wonderful. I don't use any acne creams or washes. Just lemons. I am so happy! Now I don't have to worry about acne, and can walk around proudly with my skin looking and feeling great! Amazing! |

| Pros | Clearer skin, helps fade red marks after using consistently and for a long time, smells fresh, is natural and easy to use. You can use freshly cut slices or the bottled juice! |
|---|---|
| Cons | Burns at first but after using for awhile it's not as noticeable. You need to be consistent and use it daily for measurable results. |
| Bottom line | When I was growing up breakouts for me were pretty rare, with only a blemish here and there. That all changed a couple years ago when mostly my cheeks started breaking out. I had no idea why! I tried just about everything: wearing salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide to bed at night, drinking more water, monitoring my nutrition, washing my pillowcases and bedding, face masks, herbal treatments, changing my face wash, switching foundation brands, I stopped wearing blush, cleaned makeup brushes, tried Proactiv, etc. Last October I was really getting depressed knowing my wedding was 8 months away and my skin looking the way it did. I also hated the red marks that were all over my cheeks which made them look even worse. I then started washing my skin with lemon juice after removing my makeup using a regular face wash. Now, 6 months later, the marks have really faded and my skin is finally clear again! I can now be confident on my wedding day knowing that my pictures will show the real |

| Pros | Extremely inexpensive, quick results, no side effects |
|---|---|
| Cons | Stings a little, but well worth it for the results! |
| Bottom line | I wouldn't say I have an acne problem, just a habit of popping or picking at the few pimples I do get. Over time though, the marks left behind start to add up! I had to start wearing makeup to cover the marks so I wouldn't be self conscious when I went out during the day, and I never had to do that before! I'd tried nearly every over-the-counter (or online) acne/ scar treatment, to the point of causing a rash on my face from too many harsh products. So I finally started using lemon juice (fresh squeezed, not the kind in the bottle) on my face every day. I just started a few days ago and I'm seeing results already! Even old scars I'd forgotten about are gone! I'm going to keep using it until they're completely gone. Awesome. |

| Pros | Bag of organic large American grown lemons, $4-5. healthy, smells good, natural product. Makes me feel happy and awake. Reduces/defeats whitehead pimples and redness. |
|---|---|
| Cons | Does not do much for my real problem, persistent deep blackheads. Actually, the pores close up from the acidic juice, and does not worsen the blackheads, but does not allow frequent/daily use in order to defeat the blackheads. |
| Bottom line | Get some aloe baby wipes and a sharp knife. Cut a large organic lemon into quarters, and squeeze some juice onto a single wipe. Proceed to wash with closed eyes like it was one of those wonderful Moist Towelettes from the chicken take-out. Do this once daily or bi-weekly, depending on your tolerance. The lemon should last a week if you put the pieces back in the cooler till they are depleted of juice. |
