| Pros: | Quick, immediate, cheap, natural, lemony, vitamin C, acidic |
| Cons: | Indeed it DOES sting! |
| Bottom Line: | I used the juice of 1/4 of a small lemon and applied to my face and neck like an astringent using freshly washed hands.
At first it didn't sting at all, but once it started to soak in, it felt like I had just poured lightning all over my body. This would be perfect for practicing/building patience/pain tolerance.
It left a thin layer like a mask, which i didn't notice until i started to rub away flecks of pulp and lemon film. When I added benzoyl peroxide to my zits after the juice dried, it got clumpy around the treatment so next time I would wash off the juice after it's dried, and THEN use the peroxide.
Though it stung like crazy, it immediately dried out my cystic acne, shrinking it by 75%, making it easier to heal.
I did a double dose of this "mask" back to back and my skin got kind of rosy, which I can only assume means some skin corroded away. Use sunblock.
I will definitely be using this again. |

| Pros: | Makes skin feel softer, reduces size and redness of pimples, shrinks pores and reduces amount of pimples. |
| Cons: | Stings so much! |
| Bottom Line: | Great toner, I use it after cleansing with Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser, leave it on overnight then wash off in the morning. Does sting A LOT the first time, you kind of get used to it after a while, but if you find it too strong dilute it with some water. Best remedy for acne I've found so far, and all for just $2.95 a kg. Definitely worth it! |

| Pros: | Clears up acne right away! |
| Cons: | None |
| Bottom Line: | I have tried everything! From Proactive, to other household stuff like honey, eggs, and etc. Every Night before i go to bed I use a Q Tip and put it only where i have acne, then leave it on overnight. I can in all honesty say this works better then anything else I've tried, and i barely have an acne now. |
