Pros:It takes time, but IT WORKS!
Cons:My main problem is the ITCHING. omg it itches so much, but it feels great after you rinse it off with nice cold/warm (cool) water.
Time.....
Bottom Line:Ive been at war with acne for about 4 years now, its been kicking my butt everyone since it attacked me, but now i found a defense. LEMONS! they do work. Ive been using lemons for about 8 days now and all i can say mr dark smudge on my cheek has lightend up and is about to fade away anyday now. My only problem with using lemons is the itching part. oh btw YOU DO BREAK out when you start using it. at least i did. but it wasnt major, just little white heads here and there. in few days they will be gone. Scars on my chin, cheel, jaw. There getting much better. Less RED, but light brown. again ive been only using this for 8 days, i have 23 more days left to eqaul a month (it should only take 1 month to lighten your scars completely) MY WAY: take 1/4 of a lemon (cut it into 4 equal slices) cut that in half, take 1/2 squeeze the juice into a cotton ball. the other 1/2 smeere it over your face. take the juiced up cotton ball and smooth it out over your face. leave on for 10-15 min wash.

Pros:helps lighten scars
Cons:burns like hell
Bottom Line:well, i dont really get immediate results, and thats sorta anoyin' cuz im not exactly patient. =P. But the next morning my scars are noticably lighter. i use a honey mask in the morning 4 half an hour, and before bed, i apply lemon juice for 15 minutes, wash off wid cetaphil cleanser. and apply cetaphil moisturizer. IT REALLY HELPS! =P

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.
