Pros:

Does the job and is the only thing that really prevents oil and scaring the natural way

Cons:

Non

Lemon juice is amazing. I love the taste of lemons and heard it lightens skin but never needed it for that purpose. I have mild scarring and have brown skin so my scars are more prominent I would think. I read that lemons were good for fading scares and killing bacteria in your pores which are the cause of acne. So I tried it just mix a teaspoon of honey in half a bowl of natural lemon juice not the store bought staff. The acidity burns at first but you have to endure it because it works like magic and still doesn't damage your skin. My face looks and feels to good to be true I have barely any oiliness and my scares are fading after just 3 uses they are almost completely gone. It annoys me that I never thought to try other skin care methods because I could of had a flawless complexion if I learnt the wonders of a 30 minute daily lemon mask ages ago. PLEASE TRY IT THIS A SECRET EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW. Oh and remember to apply it daily with a cotton ball not your finger which can counteract the effect ;)

I still have scars but im those are even starting to fade.i used it as a mask and would put some lemon juice on at night and leave it on till the morning it was cheap too! ive had moderate acne for over 2 years and have probably been on every product made to get rid of it and to think its as simple as lemon juice! Amazing.

Pros:

Within a week, i can notice that it dried out existing acnes, post-acne marks slowly fading (not completely but i can see the difference after using it), and makes my skin smooth.

Cons:

Stinging sensation is to be expected; I think different ppl have different tolerance towards the stinging or "burn". Ive practically used everything there is in attempts to treat acne before, so putting 100% lemon juice (undiluted) didn't burn my face. Just to be safe, slowly start with diluted lemon juice for your first trial.

Tried this for about a week and i can say that i have a good feeling about this. I'm not expecting my face to be completely acne-free and scar-free, but one week trial with lemon has given me hope. I'm gonna keep doing this and hope it will be the cure that i've been waiting for! All the best to everyone!

Pros:

+If you have a lemon tree (like I do) ITS FREE! If you go to the store, ITS CHEAP!
+Slight glow (not too dramatic)
+Kicks pimple's ass
+Gradually reduces blackheads
+Slight reduction of redness
+Slight reduction of pores

Cons:

-Stings like a mother...especially after you shave :/

I have been insecure about my skin since high school. Some people are blessed when puberty hits them. But in some cases, like mine, I was SOL. My skin was HORRID! I would wear a black hoody and then I would try to cover my chin area with it in class (my chin was very severe). It has reduced as time went on, but recently I did a search out for the PERFECT SKIN. Lemon juice is on my face constantly. I love what it does to my skin. I feel my skin detoxifying before my eyes. Plus, I take cayenne pepper topically to help with my skin (Cayenne Pepper: 99 cents store, Empty Capsules: Vitamin Shopp or local pharmacy, dirt cheap) these two are opposites that attract. Look it up and give it a shot ;)

Pros:

Actually works
Cheaper than a facewash
Smells nice

Cons:

Stings a little when applied
Stings more after shaving/with open cuts

Brilliant, I was sceptical at a simple lemon being able to tame my acne but it worked! I just cut the lemon into slices and squeeze it onto my face and rub it in, brush my teeth to ignore the stinging which isn't that bad, then wash it off with water simple! I found to use it each night a lemon will last 3-4 days and it really worked for me!

Pros:

~ lightened acne scars with in 2 weeks
~ decreased acne breakouts (toothpaste works great for drying acne. place little bit on the breakout dry in the morning)
~ evened out skin tone

Cons:

~ burns for a few seconds after application

i wanted to get away from chemicals and i heard this on doctor oz. i wash with johnson & johnson head to toe baby wash (good enough for "new" skin, good enough for my skin). i then apply lemon juice from the bottle using a cotton pad and apply apricot oil as a moisturizer. after two months my skins is looking just as good as it did when i used the prescriptions from my dermatologist. best part this is sooo much cheaper.

Pros:

gave me results

Cons:

stings - so Dilute it: 50% water, 50% lemon juice if you're putting it on ur face. However, I was able to put PURE lemon juice on my back.

I have a lot of "red spots" from old acne on my cheeks and so far it has faded them and made them smaller. It cleared up my chin from acne, it decreased the black heads but they have not disappeared. At first it gave me a bit more acne before it started working, but it was very little and didn't bother me so much. when i stopped using it for 3 days, my chin broke out again so i'm back on it now! I have been using this for 4 weeks
