Pros glowing complexion
little to no breakouts
kills acne
leaves me feeling energized
Cons hard to drink at times (suggest drinking with water)
Bottom line 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 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.
Bottom line 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 Less facial redness
Breakouts minimized
More energy
Fresh complexion
Cons Teeth can become sensitive (better to drink through straw)
Bottom line 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 Reduces acne.
Reduces scarring.
Cons Erodes tooth enamel.
Sour.
Bottom line 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 cheap, easy, tastes great, getting bodies ph back in sync
Cons harsh on teeth
Bottom line I am now more and more a believer that acne is derived from how much we have deviated from our ancestral path. In the western diet, many things cause individuals to go acidotic, believed to be a contributor to acne. By bringing your bodies ph back in line, your body can then begin to fix itself. Big advocate. Some great reviews detailing how acidic metabolizes to go alkalitic.

Pros -Clears acne on face & body
-Fast results
Cons -Bad for teeth
Bottom line I love this. Okay so I'll just tell you my story. In the end of 7th grade I would get the ocasional pimple here or there. Then 8th grade began. it was fine in the beginning of the year but by the end I hated my face. I had like 5 pimples on my forehead but then 1 night I had cheer for 5 hours & 2 of those hours we worked out the whole time, so obviously I sweat a lot. The next morning, I couldn't even see one part of my skin in the middle of my forehead cause the acne was so bad. So I decided to try this out. I started it last wednesday. On Thuresday, I didn't really see any results, on Friday, it was starting to clear up a little(: Then I went camping until sunday. That means not washing my face or body for 2 whole days. I didn't even drink any lemon water those days but it still worked. I get home & my parents even saw a difference! The redness had gone down & I could see a lot more clear skin. So I've been using it since then & I've loved it. I drink it in the AM & PM when I don't have an empty stomach (cause I think it can do damage). I take a cup & put 2 spoons of water (the big spoons the ones you use for soup) & then I add 2 tea spoons of the lemon juice (not from concentrate) I put it in the microwave for 20 seconds (because your body absorbs the nutrients faster when it's warm) & then I take a straw & drink. You get used to the taste so it isn't as bad later. I brush my teeth 30-40 minutes later because I read somewhere you shouldn't brush them directly after & I wash out my mouth with water. I loved this & I think I will actually have perfect skin for Freshman year which I would never had gotten if it wans't for lemon juice. Well, I hope I helped!(:

Pros skin whitening, scar removal, acne removal
Cons can't think of any
Bottom line it works perfectly as a skin whitening, scar and acne removal product.
Lemon's commonly be think of acidic because it's sour in taste. However, in the view of nutritional science, lemon is an alkaline food!!!!
Why? The answer is simple as when we take in the food, it turn alkaline. That's why we classify it as an alkaline food. For example, when we take in lemon juice, It'll be oxidise to form water, carbon dioxide and an inorganic compound. The alkaline or acidic nature of the inorganic compound formed determines whether the food is an alkaline or acidic.
The PH level in our body affects our physiology and becomes toxic. Acnes appear as our body wants to get rid of toxic. Lemon balances our body PH level improve our skin condition.
For the best taste and the highest effect, try organic lemon, not lime. Use warm water, organic honey or maple syrup for taste.
I would recommend the "Master Cleanse Lemonade Diet" material. Read through relevant books in order to understand the qualities and benefits of lemon. OH NO NO.. I'M NOT RECOMMENDING YOU TO ACTUALLY DO the diet! It's very dangerous to your liver if you fall back to your old eating routine right after (e.g. drinking, coffee/tea.. etc) We only want to understand the benefits of lemon OKAY??
Enjoy a healthy, beautiful skin!

Pros Brightens skin
No breakouts!
Cons Nothing!
Well except teeth
Bottom line Wow all I have to say is wow! I love drinking pure lemon juice. I hate adding it to water cause it tasted disgusting so I just drink straight lemon juice. Make sure you don't drink it cold or else your stomach has to make it warm before it absorbs! I've gotten used to the taste (I didn't think I would at first but I guess fruit juice and anything that's very sour no longer bothers me. You just gotta tell yourself 'Not sour not sour not sour' and be confident about it! It just takes a few times and you get amazing results. I recommend it! As for the bad teeth just drink water immediately after drinking the juice and you won't have to worry. Thank you lemon juice! I shall respect you!

Pros Simple, cheap, tasty, effective
Cons Bad for teeth
Bottom line I've been using lime juice in hot water rather than lemons but I believe it works in the same way. I was drinking this for two weeks for the general health benefits and not for acne but during that time I found my skin was less oily and somehow smoother. I forgot to drink it for a few days and my skin became more oily and puffy and I couldn't work out what it was until I realised the only thing I'd changed was to not drink the lime water. I'm amazed that such a simple thing can make such a difference!

It won't solve your acne completely but it'll make your skin healthier making breakouts less likely.
