Not for sensitive skin, but will give you the effects of AHA
Cons:
Irritating to sensitive skin types
I would recommend this product in conjunction with your daily toner if you use one.. Alone I believe it would be a little to irritating, especially if you use any other products. It's good for promoting new skin cells, and fading red marks.. but personally I would wait till your acne problem was under control, and your skin was stable before using this product.

Pros:
Cleared acne
cleared scars
Cons:
takes time every night to apply but its totally worth it
i used lemon last year for about 6 months and i never had a spot come through, life was so good then, but now going back to it, it seems to not work
July 4, 2012
Pros:
-Lightens skin over time and gives a healthy glow
-Restores back your face again overtime especially from a picking episode
Cons:
-Stings really bad when used on a picked spot
-May had been the cause of cystic acne on me
I have been using lemons over a year on and off and currently I have stopped using it. Partly because I don't want to get anymore lighter on my face. I think the best way to use it, is before going to bed and using it as a toner with a cotton wool. I never rinsed it off though until the following morning. I am starting to wonder if lemons have been the cause of my cystic acne as I never used to have them before. But that's probably because I never rinsed it off. Overall, I suppose I've taken what the juice has done for me for granted over the period when my skin was really bad (as I am my own cause of self picking) and it seemed to be the best remedy on giving me back my skin again and also at times given me a lovely satin healthy glow. I've stopped using it because I'm worried it has been the cause of my cystic acne, a sort of a 'catch 22' situation. Lemons are ideal for evening out the overall complexion and tone. But I can't remember if it decreased or increased my spots as recently my skin is looking good just using Clean&Clear blackhead scrub.

Pros:
-Lightened hyperpigmentation on my face a lot
-leaves skin feeling fresh
-not greasy or noticeable when dry
Cons:
-may sting a little, but tolerable
-make sure you check for little lemon bits that might get stuck to your face after rubbing it on :P
I had severe acne which I cleared up with Accutane. However, I was left with lots of dark spots on my face at the end of the course. I've been using lemon on my face once a day and the difference is dramatic :)! Really did wonders to lighten up my skin and make the scars less red and inflamed looking.

Pros:
helps my moderately severe acne quite a bit (doesn't get rid of it, but definitely makes a differences)
Cons:
messy, can sting
When I used this with olive oil, i eventually started breaking out. But a few drops of lemon juice on its own or w/ aloe vera has helped. Can't wear it out because of sun-sensitizing potential (or at least, I don't recommend it). I don't like to leave it on, even at night, because it's sticky, so I just use it as a pre-wash treatment.

Pros:
Feels amazing after you take off the mask
freshened my skin
got rid of some of my acne
Cons:
Stings enough for you to KILL yourself
It works pretty well but if you don't like little things that hurt you do NOT try this!!! But overall if your looking for a good cleanser try lemons!!!!!

Pros:
Gives skin a little bit of a glow, reduces pimple size, controls oil secretions, reduce pore size, lightens scars very slightly
Cons:
Mild stinging and burning sensation, drying to the skin, doesn't do very much with my blackheads & scars
I use this as an astringent; I put about one or two tbsp. of lemon juice in a cup with an ice cube (helps close the pores :D ) and I just dip a cotton pad in it and apply the cold juice all over the affected areas. I don't put it all over the face as it can be very drying, especially during the winter months. I use vitamin E oil on the dry areas- works wonders! I do this every morning and night after I wash my face. It does help with existing acne- if I have a really big ones, I'll put the lemon juice over it and the next morning it won't hurt as bad and the swelling will go down a little. As for my scars, I haven't noticed a dramatic difference which is my main issue, apart from the blackheads. I don't get a lot of big breakouts anymore except when I'm stressed; however it seems as though the lemon juice works much better on those than with my actual scars & blackheads. I've been keeping this up for a few weeks so hopefully in a month or so my skin will improve!
