5 stars from me. i've had bad redness from years of acne marks and in a short amount of time, lemon juice has really lighten up my skin / post acne marks & i feel a lot more confident as my skin looks sort of "normal" with no redness. im still learning about using lemon juice topically but i currently leave it on my skin over night. - if you want to try this treatment, i would do some research first. (some people recommend using it overnight, some say 10 mins max and others say use it three times a day ?) -i am unsure of the side effects so i might not use it as much now but iv'e read something about avoiding sunlight when using lemon juice?

Pros:

Works Great!
Is extremely cheap
Relatively fast

Cons:

Don't use if you have any open wounds/cuts on your face or you'll be in so much pain.

It's great, if you use it daily with a cotton bud you'll get results, it is great at reducing redness and can even reduce the appearance of scars. It really helped me get rid of most of my acne!

Pros:

Reduces swelling
Flat and soft skin
Easier to remove bad tings from skin
Does not make your skin feel too dry

Cons:

Stings if you have an open wound

1. Wash the skin with any soap. 2. Apply lemon juice on the skin. 3. Remove any bad things from skin softly and easily or just leave it. 4. If you have an open wound, do not apply lemon juice to it. 5. Wash the skin with water and enjoy flat and soft skin

Pros:

minimizes acne
gets rid of acne in a day!
makes face smooth and supp

Cons:

stings
left acne red for a long time

This thing is so great. I used it for the first time yesterday. I did something different though. I know many have said to only use it once a day. Well, I thought that by using in at least 4 times a day would speed up the healing process and for me it did. It brought up at least 3 new pimples and they also dried out by the next day! They pretty much just fell off :)) Anyways. I woke up and my face was glowy although I have supperficial acne spots that are very red throughout both my cheeks. This will take time to heal and i must be patient and let me tell you i am not very patient. I'm going to keep doing this 4x a day thing for ever! I clean my face with a VERY gentle cleanser and then i just dap w a cotton ball the juice and let it sit and wait 1 hour and apply again and wait 1hr and reapply and so on until I do it 4x. I make sure i do this so that by the time ive done the 4th time, its time for me to go to bed. Wake up in the morning and gently just rinse off and apply spf oil free non comedonegenic of 15 or more.

Pros:

First day saw instant results
Makes sense.. super high acid content should be killer against acne right?
makes my skin feel great
minimizes pores
great addition to your already standing regimen if you have tough skin

Cons:

if you just shaved. stings like a mother f-er

My goodness i love lemon juice, I have had acne for 6 years, finally went to a dermatologist about 2 months ago and she put on sulfacitimade and veltin gel, theyre good but nothing too effective, til i added a lemon. heres my regimen. AM: Cleanse with Acure Cleanser Squeeze out fresh lemon juice, apply, leave on for ten minutes rinse off Apply sulfacitimade wait a few minutes apply acure oil control moisturizer PM: Cleanse with acure cleanser apply veltin gel wait like 20 mins + apply lemon juice to face, i leave it on all night (i also apply acure night time chlorela moisturizer if i feel like my skin is dry, probably like every other night) In a few weeks on this regimen i have no acne. scars are almost gone. important things to note... I had been using the regimen with no lemon for about two months so my skin was used to the heavy chemicals. acure should be available at your nearest like whole foods, local natural food chain i have really tough skin and a really high pain tolerance so if you have neither of these you should dilute with water we also have a lemon tree so getting them was no problem

Pros:

dries out those shiny lumps
gives the skin a lovely glow
lightens dark marks

Cons:

burns initially
may overdry the skin

this stuff really works, i used to be soooo pretty until the acne took over. Tried everything from, contraception, proactive, dermalogica, you name it i tried it and the results were not worth the price paid. I use the lemon juice neat on a cotton ball in the morning and evenings. My skin was glowing by day 3 and my acne has dried out. In time my skin will smooth over. Thank god for mama nature!

Pros:

It is cheap and easy to find.

Cons:

Has a slight sting when first applied but goes away in a few minutes.

When I first started using Lemon juice, my back acne immediately cleared up within a day. The red marks on my back are still noticeable but they are also diminishing as the days go by. My face though is another scenario. My forehead must have the same qualities as the skin on my back because it too cleared up just as fast. My chin though not so much. It has always been my problem area. I don't have bad acne but I usually get one big bump on my chin that can last up to a few weeks before it goes away. I am hoping that the lemon juice will help get rid of them. I have only been doing this for roughly a week. I read it could take up to 3 weeks for full results, so I am willing to wait for results like my back and forehead.

Pros:

It works pretty well

Cons:

It stings like hell at first, no joke. Just think happy thoughts during the first few minutes and it'll die down at some point.

I like to mix my lemon juice with some honey and cinamon (smells amazing!) and put it on. I just get a cup, squeeze the juice of a lemon out, remove the pits with a spoon, mix in some honey and cinamon, and stir it until it's evenly mixed (no clumps or anything). My skin's a bit sensitive, so I add some water to it too. Then I just get a cotton ball and rub it on. It makes your face red, but the redness goes away after a bit. It fades your scars and shrinks the acne, but it dries up your face ALOT. I really don't recommend this for people with sensitive skin, or if you do have sensitive skin, water down the lemon juice a lot. The lemon juice BURNS like a bitch at first, but don't give in to the temptation of sprinting to the sink and washing it off. Sit tight and it'll go away after a bit.
