| Pros | minimizes acne gets rid of acne in a day! makes face smooth and supp |
|---|---|
| Cons | stings left acne red for a long time |
| Bottom line | This thing is so great. I used it for the first time yesterday. I did something different though. I know many have said to only use it once a day. Well, I thought that by using in at least 4 times a day would speed up the healing process and for me it did. It brought up at least 3 new pimples and they also dried out by the next day! They pretty much just fell off :)) Anyways. I woke up and my face was glowy although I have supperficial acne spots that are very red throughout both my cheeks. This will take time to heal and i must be patient and let me tell you i am not very patient. I'm going to keep doing this 4x a day thing for ever! I clean my face with a VERY gentle cleanser and then i just dap w a cotton ball the juice and let it sit and wait 1 hour and apply again and wait 1hr and reapply and so on until I do it 4x. I make sure i do this so that by the time ive done the 4th time, its time for me to go to bed. Wake up in the morning and gently just rinse off and apply spf oil free non comedonegenic of 15 or more. |

| Pros | Your skin is left glowing a little Soft skin Redness is reduced Acne is smaller |
|---|---|
| Cons | Itchy when first applied |
| Bottom line | When I heard about lemon, I thought why not try it? It's cheap. And natural. And I've heard that it works. And it does! Every night I was my face with a gentle cleansing wash( I use Purpose). I then cut off a slice of the lemon and gently rub it on to me face. Some people may experience burning or itchiness but what I do if right after I put it on, I sit in front of a fan and the fan dries it on my face and then it soothes my skin. Then go to bed...wake up...SHAZAM! It helps! My skin feels tighter, softer, and the acne has gotten smaller and less red. |

| Pros | + makes my skin look more fresh and appears to be glowing more + smells good + reduced my acne scars |
|---|---|
| Cons | - burns a little |
| Bottom line | I actually began using lemon juice for my acne scars. I put a dime size amount of lemon juice on a cotton ball and apply it to my entire face. I leave it on for about twenty minutes then rinse it off with warm water. It has visibly reduced my acne scars, some of which were quite deep and noticeable I might add. It has also made my face look more radiant. I do make sure to use moisturizer with it however because it does dry out areas of my face, but other than that, this method has helped a great deal in reducing the appearance of my acne scars =) |

| Pros | Lightens reddness Brightens complextion Smells amazing Tastes good if it gets in your mouth Reduces appearance of scars |
|---|---|
| Cons | Not as effective for those with sensitive skin |
| Bottom line | I had a pimple that resisted EVERY treatment known to man. It stayed on my face right between my eyes for a good 2 weeks, every morning it looked just as red as the day before. It wasn't extremely huge, but still very annoying. The skin around it was slightly wrinkly so it was difficult to conceal with makeup. Out of desperation I applied a drop of lemon juice. It was 100% pure lemon juice from the little bottles in the grocery store. I kid you not, 15 minutes later the red turned pink. I applied it once a day for the next 2 days- it's GONE. Lemon juice is amazing. I use it as a toner everyday after my skincare routine. Be sure to moiisturize as well. Good luck <3 |

| Pros | Prevents acne, lightens scars, reduces oil on face and kills off bacteria. |
|---|---|
| Cons | A little weird putting lemon juice on your face? |
| Bottom line | Since I was about 13 I started getting acne, it was horrible. I it got to the point where I wouldn't turn on the lights in the bathroom so I didn't have to look at myself. I had suicidal thoughts all the time and was afraid of people looking at my face. At the start of this year, 2011, I was looking on the Internet for cures and stuff. I came across this site and thought it may work. It's now mid October of this year and I'm so happy, most of the time I have clear skin though I do break out sometimes, it's only one or two pimples that the lemon juice kills anyway. It doesn't seem real.. Though it is and I'm so glad I saw this site. I thank god for lemons haha. This is what I do ; Wake up in the morning and splash my face with warm water about twice then once with cold. I go to school and enjoy my day now then arrive home at about 4 when I wash my face again. I only use water, it's enough to unblock my pores from the oil without drying it. Then on a cold I would splash my face every 3 and a half hours. On a hot day every 3 hours. It's not good to keep to oil just sitting there clogging. Around 10.30 I Have a shower then straight away apply lemon juice with a cotton ball to my whole face. It can sting at times but it's nothing to worry about. This is the weird bit, I don't wake up with new pimples at all it's so weird. There's hardly any oil on my face and it's so good! I repeat the process for almost a year now and it's amazing. Of you're reading this right now and feel hopeless, try it out.. It may work for you but an attempt is worth it. I'm writting this with no regrets in life except for not doing this sooner. |

| Pros | none that i have found..yet? |
|---|---|
| Cons | made face red |
| Bottom line | I decided to try this natural method in hopes that I would achieve the same positive results as others have, unfortunately I fall under the category of unsuccessful. Last night was the first night..and possibly the last...that I applied lemon juice to my acne scars. This morning I woke up to find my face redder and more oily than ever. I am still weighing out the possibility of trying it again, except altering my method. |

|---|---|
| Cons | Can make your skin peel, but it's nothing too serious. Just put some lotion on and you should be set. |
| Bottom line | I use 100% pure lemon juice that I bought from my local grocery store. It's super cheap and works wonderfully so far! My red marks are fading quite quickly, which is awesome! & it keeps my face soft, and smooth. |

| Pros | Inexpensive Smells fantastic Easy to make/use Results the very next day/morning Great for cleansing AND exfoliating |
|---|---|
| Cons | May sting a little(didn't for me) |
| Bottom line | So basically, this is it for me. Every cleanser(non-natural) that I have used had screwed my skin up in some way, wether it be drying it out or making my skin raw. I have very sensitive skin so it was difficult for me to find a drugstore product/"high-end" product that was gentle. I'm never going back! This is what I've used and in order: 1. Freshly squeezed lemon wedge onto a round cotton pad 2. Dampened face with lukewarm water 3. Applied some raw organic sugar to my face(a tablespoon spread all over) 4. Scrub everywhere especially around hairline and around nostrils to kill bacteria 5. Rinse with water, wait 10 mins 6. Apply organic honey to my face(easiest when done in the shower but I just tie a bag around my neck HAHA) 7. Leave honey on for about 30 mins I moisturized with a light moisturizer after the honey masque and before I went to bed, applied my crushed aspirin mush. Honey, 1 small aspirin and a tiny bit of water. Just as a spot treatment. I also put another thin layer of honey on before I go to bed and rinse in the morning. This can get messy so if you roll around alot this probably wont be a good idea. Unless you can make a consious effort to sleep on your back like I do. I guess you could put a garbage bag on your pillow... The results are amazing, the redness goes down so fast and the honey is bringing all my underlying pimples out so flippin' quickly!! Give it a shot, it's cheap and it won't damage your skin long term. Hope this helps you like it did me. |
