| Pros: | On Friday I looked in the mirror and saw a red, oily, inflamed face--so I came here to find help fast. This particular remedy stuck out because of its great reviews. Applied fresh lemon juice to my face that night- in morning face looked MUCH better. |
| Cons: | Can sting I guess...but it isn't bad at all. More itchy the first time actually. |
| Bottom Line: | If you're doubting this remedy and least try it for two nights. If it doesn't help at all, then stop doing it. But I'm positive it will do nothing to worsen your particular situation. Give it a shot--it's worth it. |

| Pros: | leaves skin smoother, fades away blemishes, brightens up skin tone, makes larger pimples smaller & less noticable =) |
| Cons: | STINGS (but worth it) |
| Bottom Line: | Ive only used this once so far..last night & this morning..after i saw all of the amazing comments it was getting i had to try it..haha who would of thought u only need to spend 79 cents to improve your skin! =) i love it..it reallyyyyyyyyy stings though hahaha (clearly) ive been breaking out A LOT which is dissapointing because my skin was finally clear....i guess it tricked me =( lol then i got my period and broke out like crazy went on this website and saw that lemons according to the reviews do the trick
i was my face in the morning with clean & clear pore cleanser then i take oxy pad cleansers (sensitive) to get rid of the oil on my skin..so gross lol and finally i squeeze the lemon juice into a small cup take a cotton ball and gently rub it over my blemishes...it works! MAKE SURE TO MOSTURIZEEEE (clean & clear advantage is a life saver) |

| Pros: | lemon juice is a miracle cure. it works fast, and it keeps working. it cleared up my persistent, severe cystic acne within a week and i have stayed clear on it for a year now. NOTHING else has worked this well or this consistently. |
| Cons: | it stings quite a bit, especially the first few days. oh well. you'll get over it when you find you have the clearest skin you've had since pre-puberty! |
| Bottom Line: | buy some fresh lemons. cut one in half, squeeze the juice from one half onto a cotton ball and throw the rest away, or eat it, whatever. put the other half in a ziplock bag in the fridge for tomorrow. rub the juice all over your face before bed and leave it there, even though it will burn!! the next morning, wash with johnson's head to toe baby wash. repeat every day. that's it. only those 2, simple, cheap products, and i'm clearer than any acne product, otc or prescription, ever made me. do not try to add in any other acne products. they will just make you dry and flaky and not improve anything. the lemon juice is all you need! you can start out just doing it every other day or every third day, but once your skin is used to it, be sure to be consistent and do it every day! if your skin gets irritated or dry at first, try some aveeno baby lotion, aloe vera gel, or a little bit of cortisone cream on top of the lemon juice. |

| Pros: | It is cheap and easy to find. |
| Cons: | Has a slight sting when first applied but goes away in a few minutes. |
| Bottom Line: | When I first started using Lemon juice, my back acne immediately cleared up within a day. The red marks on my back are still noticeable but they are also diminishing as the days go by. My face though is another scenario. My forehead must have the same qualities as the skin on my back because it too cleared up just as fast. My chin though not so much. It has always been my problem area. I don't have bad acne but I usually get one big bump on my chin that can last up to a few weeks before it goes away. I am hoping that the lemon juice will help get rid of them. I have only been doing this for roughly a week. I read it could take up to 3 weeks for full results, so I am willing to wait for results like my back and forehead. |

| Pros: | it works!! |
| Cons: | it stings a little after its been on the skin for a while. but hey you have to suffer to be beautifull :) |
| Bottom Line: | ive tried baking soda, alcohol, saicilic acid and tee tree oil and none of them work better than the lemon juice. you have to go buy a lemon its insane I only have scars now, no more pimples (except for one) and before that I had like moderate acne. |

| Pros: | It works pretty well |
| Cons: | It stings like hell at first, no joke. Just think happy thoughts during the first few minutes and it'll die down at some point. |
| Bottom Line: | I like to mix my lemon juice with some honey and cinamon (smells amazing!) and put it on. I just get a cup, squeeze the juice of a lemon out, remove the pits with a spoon, mix in some honey and cinamon, and stir it until it's evenly mixed (no clumps or anything). My skin's a bit sensitive, so I add some water to it too. Then I just get a cotton ball and rub it on.
It makes your face red, but the redness goes away after a bit. It fades your scars and shrinks the acne, but it dries up your face ALOT. I really don't recommend this for people with sensitive skin, or if you do have sensitive skin, water down the lemon juice a lot.
The lemon juice BURNS like a bitch at first, but don't give in to the temptation of sprinting to the sink and washing it off. Sit tight and it'll go away after a bit. |

| Pros: | Clears pimples fast! Reduces Rednes. Very cheap! |
| Cons: | Stings for a couple minutes after applied. |
| Bottom Line: | I started using lemon 5 days ago and already I'm seeing great results. I had a hard time clearing up pimples on my forehead and chin. Nothing seemed to work. The first night I put on lemon juice, I woke up and noticed that most of the pimples had already been cleared up. Although it does sting it is so worth it! It works better than clinical cream. Definitely not for sensitive skin though. |
