Pros:

- reduces pores
- makes skin look and feel smooth
- breakouts diminish

Cons:

- acidic for teeth. you should NOT brush your teeth right after drinking lemon water because the enamel will wear off. you need to wait at least one hour before your brushing your teeth after eating/drinking acidic stuff. i use a straw, and i just rinse my mouth with water that has baking soda dissolved in it (as baking soda is alkaline).

i thought it was a bunch of hearsay when i heard that lemon water was good for acne. but i tried it anyway, and lo and behold, my skin is looking so freakin' good i cant believe it. i havent looked this good in YEARS, literally years! to top it off, ive had jaw surgery a few months ago and my skin was acting absolutely insane afterward (breakouts like never before). so i am absolutely ecstatic and still in disbelief that mere lemon water could've wiped out much of my misery over a period of just a few days. if you're a skeptic, i understand. but give it at least a week before you write it off.

Pros:

cheap, easy, tastes good (i love sour stuff) and its better than drinking vinegar!, i guess it helps fight acne

Cons:

bad for teeth, need lots and lots of lemon!

Well, i figured i should give this a shot... I definitely notice a difference. My skin does look better, and my break outs aren't that bad. I'm not completely clear however, but i'm pretty clear... my body acne, which has been impossible to get rid of, has calmed down a little, but its still there. I take close to one big lemon worth of juice a day, maybe a little more here and there... half in the AM, half in the PM... Overall for me, the results are pretty subtle, but I'm going to stick through with it and see if there are more improvements.

Pros:

Awesome, Cheep, Easy

Cons:

None

I started drinking lemon juice because of a sore throat. the acid in the lemon juice kills the bacteria. After i started drinking it, i noticed that it was reducing the numbers of pimples i had. It also reduced the amount of break-outs i have, which now is basically none. it is also reducing the redness that i have had on my face from pimples that i have popped. i think this is one of the only, and also the easiest thing i have found that actually works wonders for acne. it is not just clearing up the acne that i have on my face, it is also clearing up the acne that i have on my chest. I have tried everything possible for acne, i have been to many dermatologist, but none of the medicine that they have gave me has worked as well as the lemon juice has in such a short amount of time. if anyone were to ask me how i cleared up my acne, I would have to tell them that i drink lemon juice. and that it actually works. For me the monthly cost is around $8.00 because i go through one bottle of lemon concentrate a week. i mix it with water and it is just so easy to use, and it gives fast results.

Pros:

Works wonders

Cons:

Nothing so far

I have been on it for a couple days and i can see the difference. I did not break out at all today and i feel it is def due to lemon juice. My acne size has reduced. I will wait longer to see the promising results and review again. But I just want other people to know that it is worth a try. I drink 3 teaspoon in a shot glass with straw in the morning and at night. Good luck guys, hope it works for you.

Pros:

Effective, Cheap, Easy

I've been consuming approxiamtely 3tbsp of the bottled lemon juice in the morning just before breakfast and at night not long before i go to bed. Since doing this i have noticed a considerable improvement in my skin in which most of my pimples has cleared up. I do this and use a face wash that contains salicylic acid and have stopped using a benzoyl peroxide based three step regime. Results began to show after about a week and continued to improve.

Pros:

My forehead acne is gone and my overall complexion is glowing! This hasn't happened for me in at least two years.

Cons:

Over time lemon juice is supposed to wear down the enamel on your teeth. To prevent this I just use a straw and rinse my mouth with water immediately after I drink the lemon juice.

I have had pretty bad acne on my forehead for the past year and no topical treatments have helped. I have been wanting to try a treatment that would cure me from the inside out. I would definitely try drinking lemon juice for at least a week if nothing else has helped your acne (it can't hurt)! I saw noticeable improvement within two days (my forehead acne is completely gone and my complexion looks great!). I drink one cup of warm water mixed with half a fresh squeezed lemon first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. I wait a half hour before eating or drinking anything else. I like to use fresh lemon, but if I don't have any at home, I use a few tablespoons of organic lemon juice from the fridge.

Pros:

Has cleared me up so much! Honestly my skin has never been clear but through high school it was okay now that I've actually graduated college it has started to break out and nothing seemed to work that I could afford. This however has helped stop any new zits from forming but I will mention I drink this AND do dan's Method also. I don't drink a full lemon a day though, I drink about half a lemon a day and after a week I skip ONE day so my body doesnt become tolerant to the lemons.

Cons:

Can be bad for teeth, but I just use straws.

This plus Dan's Method has really stopped any new zits from forming which for me is a miracle. I do still have red marks that are fading (SLOWLY) but it's very cheap and keeps me drinking more water than I used to, so I say give it a shot. I warm the water a bit too sometimes since I've read that is usually more effective. Good luck!

Pros:

cleared up small spots

Cons:

seeds get into the water. Makes teeth feel chalky. Wears down enamel.

Try it ans see if it works. I like to add half a lemon to a cup of hot water and a bit of honey to make a cup of warm lemonade. Honey is good for the skin as well.
