Well...i read it online to start drinking and from past 2 weeks I have been drinking juice of half a lemon (big lemon to get more juice) in a glass of warm water and little salt to make it drinkable ;). The results are just amazing...my acne breakouts have reduced by 90% and my skin has a very healthy glow to it even though winters are here and my skin should have been dry but it still shines like I have recently got a facial done. Plus a benefit it reduced my love handles, i was always worried because i am not fat but i was getting love handles and I do not have time to work out....the only thing i could do is to walk from my office to home and forth. But that;s all but ever since I have been drinking lemon water i feel more energetic and moreover any digestion problems i had are also gone. Though I feel a little sensitivity in my teeth so I am gonna start drinking it now with a straw but overall i guess i am ready to pay this much for my skin to look beautiful...i have waited to look like this for a long time and it just makes me feel good when the guys just dont stop staring at you :):)
good luck to everyone who is trying it already and i would definitely recommend to do it atleast for a month and you will know what i mean by my last sentence in the above paragraph.
Pros
Brought shine on skin
Permanently removed my love handles :D
helped with acne
made my figure even awsome :)
Cons
slight sensitivity in teeth
light
for a few weeks
$ 3

Pros
Tasted good
Sour
Settles stomach
Clears minor acne
Refreshes breath after meal
Cons
Thins enamel on teeth
Messes with sinuses
very light
for more than a year

Lemon juice not only changes from acidic to alkaline in the digestive tract, that transformance actually brings our body's pH level back to more normal (especially if we eat a lot of acidic foods like meat, etc)... helps our bodies (liver) regulate themselves, digest better, detoxes by helping the kidneys flush out toxins. Although not a true "con", lemon juice is also a diuretic, so be sure to drink a lot of water to keep hydrated. The water we are drinking will help flush out all the toxins in our system, and the water keeps us hydrated. Try to use either distilled water or filtered water to mix your freshly squeezed lemons for the best effect. Tap water just doesn't do it, so the results may be disappointing. Be prepared to pee like crazy for the first few days, even at night...once our body has gotten used to the lemon juice (I drink it every morning, and sometimes evening), we don't feel the need to pee as often. Small price to pay to feel fabulous, look even fabulouser (lol) and stay healthy. A slightly alkaline body is very healthy...makes our bodies inhospitable for bacteria & viruses, and the benefits are so overwhelmingly positive!
Pros
cheap, tastes great, balances pH, detoxes liver, tons of pros
Cons
non
very light
for a few months
$ 0.5

I am 30 and suffer pretty bad hormonal breakouts. Came across the lemon juice thing and thought that it wouldn't hurt to try. AMAZING!!!!!! I started to see improvement in less than 24 hours. Besides having the acne itself I also pick at it too. Sometimes pretty badly. Within a day my skin was much more calm and was actually glowing. I would also like to add that I have started taking chelated zinc 2x a day to balance my hormones and Kyolic garlic capsules 3x a day which is antibacterial. Both are also anti-inflammatory. Lemon juice helps to detox the liver. Great combination. 4 days later no visible acne on my face.
Pros
Tasts good.
Cheap.
Works fast.
Excellent health benefits to boot.
Cons
None so far.
moderate

I apply lemon juice topically to the acne scars that I have on my face as well. For the past three months I have transitioned to drinking only water ( I do sneak a soda-every once in a while) However for the past couple of weeks I have added lemon to it. It is great! With every sip I smile because I know its working on my skin from the inside out and I like to feel that when the lemon juice isn't applied topically I'm still getting the benefits of it all day. I also take vitamins daily to help with my acne.
I truly believe that by drinking the lemon water it is speeding up the process! I love the results that I am getting! Makes me wish I would have started this a long time ago!
Pros
Refreshing
Helps fight breakouts
Hydrating for skin and body
Cons
[not submitted]
moderately severe
for about a week

OK so here's the deal. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND drinking lemon juice. I have been using it for just under a week now and I am already seeing a noticeable difference. This treatment really is a godsend for me. I have had acne since 6th grade and am now entering my 2nd year of college. Toward the end of high school and the beginning of my freshmen year of college my acne started to progressively get worse, which surprised me because I thought the older I got the less I would have. I have been going to a dermatologist for more than a year and have been prescribed everything short of accutane. About 2 weeks ago now I broke out pretty badly. I started to look up natural remedies and this one seemed easiest and most surprising to me. I began drinking the lemon juice without anything and saw results instantly, my acne on my forehead all but disappeared over night and the other acne on my face and body began to dry up and heal. A week later my face looks the best it has in years and I have no noticeable acne with a few small but healing marks where acne used to be. Hopefully the treatment keeps up, I will post another review in about a month.
side note: I am a very healthy person. I workout almost every day, diet and drink tons of water. I also take vitamins and use my prescription medicine at the same time but after all this did not work to fight my acne the lemon juice did. I recommend this for everyone, even those with less severe acne. USE THIS AND GOOD LUCK. :)
Pros
glowing complexion
little to no breakouts
kills acne
leaves me feeling energized
Cons
hard to drink at times (suggest drinking with water)
moderately severe
for about a week
$ 3

I would definitely recommend drinking lemon juice, it is a a major contributor to clearing my skin and keeping my skin clear. I also feel like it helps to prevent future breaks outs. In addition I apply it topically and leave it on my face for a few hours, but be careful when applying to your face as it may sting and irritate your skin so I think drinking it is safer for those with sensitive skin or who are worried about applying it directly to their skin.
Because I think it's a hassle to squeeze fresh lemons, I use 100% concentrate Lemon Juice and mix it with warm water because I think it's easier to drink when it's warm while I also drink through a straw to protect my enamel from eroding. I drink this twice a day.
Definitely check it out and even if it doesn't work for you there are still many health benefits and it feels very cleansing to the body.
Pros
Clears skin
Prevents breakouts
Natural
Has other health benefits
Cons
Bitter
Continuous drinking can cause acid erosion on teeth, destroys enamel so drink through a straw, rinse mouth with water and wait at least 30 minutes before brushing your teeth.
moderate

This is a great remedy for acne. I tried this one night when I was breaking out pretty badly and then the next day the inflamed bumps went down and my skin was soft and dewy. Of course if you want this to really work you also have to change your diet. Remove sugars and simple carbs like breads and cookies, and eat lots of salads and other yummy veggies (try to cut down on starchy veggies like potatoes). Also stay away from processed foods. Canned food always gets me, the day after I eat anything canned and that has a lot of sodium in it makes my face irritated with more breakouts. It best to stick to all natural foods. And remember drink lots of water and take your vitamins :-)
Pros
Less facial redness
Breakouts minimized
More energy
Fresh complexion
Cons
Teeth can become sensitive (better to drink through straw)

I freshly squeezed one lemon a day (in the afternoon) and added enough warm water to fill the cup and forced myself to drink it with a straw (just to be safe from tooth damage) and what can i say! I saw an improvement within a week! Although I would like to stress that this isn't the only thing I did. I also cleaned up my diet a little by reducing carbohydrates as much as possible and eating more fruits. But i definitely recommend this as the fast way to reduce your acne. Good luck :)
Pros
Reduces acne.
Reduces scarring.
Cons
Erodes tooth enamel.
Sour.
