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.

Pros:100% natural, simple, fast, inexpensive and effective!
Cons:Burning and stinging sensation. A lot.
Bottom Line:I have been trying this treatment for about three days and it really does work! I used to have this huge pimple on my cheek and a few hours after I applied lemon juice on it, the redness and swelling went down considerably! I still have the blemish on my face but the juice really speeds up the healing process. I have a lot of blackheads near my chin and on my cheeks and I can already feel them going away. As for the scars, I haven't seen a huge improvement as others claimed. But it's only been a few days so I'm not going to give up just yet!
To balance out the dryness, I use Vitamin E oil. I have really oily skin and applying the oil topically actually made my skin break out so I decided to take them orally instead. Vitamin E can actually help with your scars so that's the other main reason why I'm using it. Another thing- lemon juice is extremely acidic so it WILL sensitize your skin. Don't forget to wear sunscreen! I hope this helps :D
