Pros:

Reduced Acne Scars Almost Immediately!
Reduces Redness
Reduces Breakouts
Smells Good

Cons:

Stings SO MUCH
Slightly red skin

This is amazing, I JUST did this tonight and my acne scars are already faded slightly! Amazing, I've tried Proactive, Accutane, and Tazorac but lemon juice is BY FAR the best! Very cheap too!, all you do is take a half lemon squeezed into a bowl, tip a cotton ball into it and apply to the skin, let it stand for 5 - 15 min then apply a warm cloth to skin, you might feel it sting again when the cloth is applied, but that is only temporary. And make sure you wash your face with any cleanser you use before you try it out!

my chin and cheeks were covered in scars, had red patches, and kept getting new break outs for months. I tried several different products and nothing seemed to work.I apply lemon juice with a cotton ball on my face and sleep with it on. Ive been doing this for about a week and my skin looks so much better. My skin hasnt looked this good in months.

It works. I use it at night, right after I wash my face. Straight from the slice. I leave it on all night long. Nicer skin in the morning.

Pros:

Clearer skin, helps fade red marks after using consistently and for a long time, smells fresh, is natural and easy to use. You can use freshly cut slices or the bottled juice!

Cons:

Burns at first but after using for awhile it's not as noticeable. You need to be consistent and use it daily for measurable results.

When I was growing up breakouts for me were pretty rare, with only a blemish here and there. That all changed a couple years ago when mostly my cheeks started breaking out. I had no idea why! I tried just about everything: wearing salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide to bed at night, drinking more water, monitoring my nutrition, washing my pillowcases and bedding, face masks, herbal treatments, changing my face wash, switching foundation brands, I stopped wearing blush, cleaned makeup brushes, tried Proactiv, etc. Last October I was really getting depressed knowing my wedding was 8 months away and my skin looking the way it did. I also hated the red marks that were all over my cheeks which made them look even worse. I then started washing my skin with lemon juice after removing my makeup using a regular face wash. Now, 6 months later, the marks have really faded and my skin is finally clear again! I can now be confident on my wedding day knowing that my pictures will show the real

Pros:

It's the greatest I want to tell every person that walks by me with acne.

Cons:

Burns if you do a facial scrib before applying.

I have gotten rid of all my other skin car products that I have used and now I only use LEMON JUICE FROM FRESH LEMONS. I fell like I have been jipped with all the money I have spent and the answer to my bad skin is LEMON JUICE.

Pros:

Reduces redness
Dries pimples
Does work.

Cons:

Leaves skin somewhat dry (can easily be fixed by an oil free moisturizer)
Itches a little bit on contact

At first I was skeptical about putting pure lemon juice one my face but I decided to try it anyways. For the first few days I didn't really notice any difference but on the 5th or 6th day the redness really started to go down. I don't have many pimples, but I have lots of post-acne red spots. I use just cetaphil cleanser for all skin types, gently, and then apply lemon juice at night, and then a thin layer of retina-a (prescribed by doctor). In the morning my skin feels and looks great and is very soft. I've noticed a dramatic change in the clarity of my skin and strongly recommend this to anyone.

Pros:

Tones skin, makes it look fresh and bright, helps to reduce red marks/discoloration, helped with hormonal acne around chin/jawline, helping to control overall acne on my face.

Cons:

Can sting and/or itch a bit.

Lemon juice- it works! I tried using this overnight, every night, but found that this caused small pimples on my forehead and aggravated some of the acne on other areas of my face. So I tried again and I find that the lemon juice is more effective if it is rinsed off after about 15- 30 mins of having it on the face. I do this once every other day, and it's working! I had terrible pimples and red marks all along my jaw line that just wouldn't go away, and the lemon juice is getting rid of them! My acne red marks on other areas of my face are slowly, but surely, fading more each day- and I do believe it is even helping with my blackheads! This stuff is helping me get my acne under control after six years of struggling with every chemical product on the market! Try it! P.S. But be sure NOT to wear this in sunlight! It can make your skin more sensitive to the sun, and I heard it can actually stain or discolor you skin if you wear it in the sunlight.

Pros:

Smells good
Inexpensive
Effective exfoliant at the very least

Cons:

Stings for the first few minutes afteer applied

I use it every other day, alternating with the sea salt & seaweed mask. I am very fond of this method. I gradually reduces my hyperpigmentation whilst exfoliating my skin, making it soft and smooth. I noticed it also helps reduce my oil production.
