Pros:

Smoother, less oily skin
Helps with & prevents acne
Fades scars
The subtle smell of lemon

Cons:

Some initial irritation

Lemons couldn't be any more cost-efficiently. I never got to the point to actually give any of the expensive remedies a try simply because of the trouble involved - but I've been no less motivated to cure or at least better my acne. At this point of time I've applied lemon juice to my face and slept with it on for about a week, and though its effects are not instantaneous it's worked wonders so far (relative to the money and effort put into it). It's not necessarily the cure for acne, but if you stick with it you'll notice improvement. As for me, I've got a long way to go still, but I've got the fridge racked up with this yellow fruit.

Pros:

1. I've used it for about two weeks straight and found that my scars are about 50% paler than they were, which was a godsend!
2. Makes my skin incredibly soft, my boyfriend even commented saying it was so very kissable ;)

Cons:

1. Im not sure it prevented acne a lot, but if there was a new pimple coming up that i could just about see it would dry it up in under two days

I admit that my acne is very light now (((never used to be, cysts and everything))) but my problem now is the scars left by those bloody darn cysts! So the bottom line is, LEMON JUICE IS WONDERFUL FOR SCARS! after two months of constant use i recon they'll be 100% gone

Pros:

It works almost immediately for me, it helps reduce black heads and whatnot, while also lightening blemishes and scars.

Cons:

It stings slightly for a few seconds, and it strips your face of natural oils for a while, making your skin more prone to acne.

I am really glad I tried using lemon juice.

Pros:

it lightens scars, tones, deep cleanses

Cons:

stings for a minute and is not very softening

i soak a cotton pad in the juice and apply gently over my entire face every night. my marks which were red a month ago are almost the same colour as my skin tone. my skin is now paler, so be spot apply if you don't wish to lighten your overall skin tone. be patient with this method, i saw results after about 2 weeks. definitely worth it, it's cheap too.
