Pros:

Cons:

burns like hell

well, i dont really get immediate results, and thats sorta anoyin' cuz im not exactly patient. =P. But the next morning my scars are noticably lighter. i use a honey mask in the morning 4 half an hour, and before bed, i apply lemon juice for 15 minutes, wash off wid cetaphil cleanser. and apply cetaphil moisturizer. IT REALLY HELPS! =P

Pros:

Found in every home, Great source of Vitamin C for the skin, Somewhat effective

Cons:

Doesnt do much for whiteheads, will not prevent acne

Ive used this as a toner for almost a month now and it wasnt a miracle by any means, does help control acne breakouts post shaving

Pros:

Cheap, seems to work well right away. Can use on large areas such as back.

Cons:

Stings, especially after shaving. If left on, a bit sticky and you taste like lemons. :)

After two days of use, skin feels much better and already the stinging sensation is going down. I wash with spectrogel, then apply fresh squeezed lemon juice to face and back. Rinse off with cool water after 20 minutes or so. I have not used this for long enough to have conclusive results, but will update with success/failures. (Going well so far) I mostly wanted to mention that this works well for you if you have back acne as well. Within an hour of using it for the first time I noticed my back felt much smoother and less oily/bumpy.

Pros:

Smells nice
Easy to apply

Cons:

Hurts sooooo much
Makes my skin really dry afterwards

I notice that it SLIGHTLY decreases the color of my scars, but after I wake up the next morning, my face always looks redder than usual. The redness persists for about half a day.

Pros:

none so far

Cons:

stings

I have been putting lemon juice on my face for 5 days now. At first it helped even out my skin tone but then I noticed a wrinkle on my forehead is actually deeper now than it was 5 days ago, I broke out with large cystic acne on my cheek (which I never had before) and it seems like my skin has darkened. Does anybody know why these things happened to me?

Pros:

SOFTENING, HAS A NICE TINGLE, SMELLS GOOD, TASTES OKAY IF IT SHOULD GET IN YOUR MOUTH

Cons:

KIND OF STICKY, WILL IRRITATE THE EYES SEVERLY, LEMON PULP WILL GET IN THE HAIR IF YOURE NOT CAREFUL

I HAVE BEEN NOTICING A LITTLE ACNE DUE TO MY BIRTH CONTROL AND I HAVE HAD DARK SPOTS ON MY FACE FOR SOMETIME NOW. I HAVE BEEN USING THE JUICE FROM THE LEMON FOR ABOUT THREE DAYS NOW AND I THINK AM SEEING SOME CHANGES. MY SKIN IS APPEARING TO BECOME MORE EVEN TONED AND LIGHTER. THE LEMONS I JUST PICK OFF MY TREE. ANY REGIMEN IS WORK FOR ME BUT THEY SAY NO PAIN, NO GAIN SO I WILL CONTINUE TO USE IT. IF I DONT SEE DRASTIC CHANGES I AM GOING TO TRY THE OBAGI SYSTEM. I HAD A CONSULTATION AND ITS EXPENSIVE BUT THE BEFORE AND AFTER PIX SHE SHOWED ME WERE AMAZING. BUT I RECOMMEND LEMON JUICE FOR THOSE VERY MILD CASES. GOOD LUCK
