Pros:

Really reduces acne and scars, leaves skin soft and glowing.

Cons:

You burn really quickly if you go out into the sun and it stinds sometimes.

I now have really clear skin and don't need to use as much makeup any more. It is the first thing that has ever done the job properly and it is really cheap!!!

Pros:

Gave visible results after only night! It is light, easy to use, affordable, and it works!

Cons:

It may sting a bit.

Lemon juice is an Alpha Hydroxy Acid (shown to improve overall look and quality of skin; exfoliates), and the natural fruit acids slough off dead skin and promote new skin cell growth. Don't bother with spending gallons of money on fresh lemons; concentrated lemon juice works just as well and for much less (5 FL OZ. for less than a dollar at the supermarket!) I had a major breakout and decided to try it (what did I have to lose?), after using it as a toner at night, the next day, the spots that appeared the day before were already reduced! I highly recommend this!

Pros:

It does lighten your skin, clears dark spots. Makes acne go away after enough use. (You need to be persistent in order for things to work out correctly.)

Cons:

It may or may not prevent newer breakouts based upon certain times/conditions. At first, it stings like hell, but eventually you do get used to it.

They are cheap (I can't seem to smell them though) and convenient. After trying other different medications, creams and other topical applications, lemons have worked the best for me. Although the results took a bit for me, it all works out in the end because my face looks much, much better than it did previously awhile ago. My face is much clearer now than it was before. I've applied it every night after taking a shower, using fresh lemons, squeezing the juices into a small cup, and taking a cotton ball to apply the lemon juice to the general areas. And I'm still applying it every night. Works well!

Pros:

works

Cons:

burns and lightens skin

be very careful with this. It works, but it will lighten whatever skin it is applied to, and if you are dark skinned the light spot will be very visible..

Pros:

The current pimples decrease in redness and size. The best thing is no new pimples!

I wash my face with some salicylic acid, cut off a slice of lemon and wipe my face and leave for 15 min. It's easier than squeezing juice and it works better!

Cons:

The stinging the very first time you use it, especially if you pick at your pimples (like me) and the skin is open, but it goes away after a few minutes.

No need to leave it on overnight; it's probably a case of diminishing returns. Leaving it on your face for 15-20 minutes is best for me. It doesn't seem to be the case where it gets worse before it gets better. My skin feels softer and it definitely looks better, aside from the decrease in acne. 1) Wash with a gentle cleanser (glycolic acid, salicylic acid) and warm water 2) Cut off a slice of lemon and wipe it on your face and leave it on for 15-20 minutes 3) Wash it off and apply a non-oily facial lotion 4) Do this before going to bed and after waking up You get more out of using the slice than squeezing the lemon, and it's much less work! Using the actual skin of the lemon must also help too rather than using just the juice. I will see how this turns out after a month of consistent usage.

Pros:

Works great!I use it every night on new and old pimples. The new ones go went away rather quickly and have not come back since. It has also reduces the redness in my skin, and lessened the appereance of acne scars. No more breakouts. Adult acne gone!

Cons:

Stings slightly until you get used to it.

I was a little skeptical about using lemon juice because I am an African American and afraid of the it bleaching my skin, but it doesn't. It adds a radiant glow to my skin tone. Would recommend this to anyone with acne problems. I've tried everything, and some may have worked for a short time, and then would began to work against my skin. I've used this for about a month now, and I've only seen positive results. I use a Q-Tip and dot the acne (or acne scars), leave on for at least 30 minutes, rinse with warm water. Great results.
