Pros:

My first time trying it and I immediately noticed it working. It didnt sting (no facial contact), left a pleasant scent, and it worked, and it didnt give me dry skin.

Cons:

None so far.

You have to try this. It's awsome. I'd give it a try.

Pros:

I've only been applying lemon juice to my skin for three days, and i've noticed a massive difference in the amount of acne I have. Today (being the third day), my acne is almost gone! Also, it feels really good when I apply the lemon to my face.

Cons:

I've yet to notice any.

For me, it works. I've used acne products like "ProActiv", Neutrogena (can't spell it, sorry), and "Clean & Clear." I've even gone as far as applying alcohol pads onto my face, but nothing worked! You could only imagine my surprised amusement when (thanks to this wonderful website) I learned that simply applying lemon juice to my face could make such a difference in such a short amount of time.

irritating

i found this little remedy for my acne on yahoo answers, someone referenced me [link removed] with a bunch of resourceful information on that site using lemon juice for acne. have been trying for the past week and seeing results. i read a lot about it before trying it because i wanted to make sure it wont encourage more problems since i have light acne. so far so good.

Pros:

AWESOME...GLOWY SKIN, looks like a facial...When i put my serum on after I HAVE NO DRY SKIN!!!!

Cons:

stings slightly sometimes but not bad at all

I use the RealLemon Juice...on a cottonball, drench my face all over...have been using it for like 3 or 4 days or so...already I am noticing a difference in my acne that was HORRIBLE...I have had acne breakouts for the past 6 mnths nothing at all has helped and I seriously have tried everything there is....my little bumps are diminishing I can tell...haven't had new acne formations, and my face is more even in color...I use this everyday after I wash my face with my Desert Essence Thoroughly Clean Face Wash...It is a miracle!!!!!!!!! Dump all the expenisive commercial crap and try this, just keep it up...it takes a while for new skin to come through and heal!!!!

Pros:

*Leaves the skin very soft!
*Is slowly getting rid of acne scarring.
*gives the skin a beautiful glow!!

Cons:

*Stings and itches like awful! But only for a minute or two!
Can leave skin dry, so extra-moisturize! I prefer honey!

I've tried EVERYTHING to reduce my redness, from over-the-counter products to home-made remedies hoping to clear my skin, and honestly lemon juice does both to a certain degree. Like anything else, it just takes time.

Pros:

-Lightens up scars to the point of no return
-Cleans the skin
-Promotes new cell regeneration to a minor degree

Cons:

-Burns the skin (this is natural, power through it)
-Makes skin feel stiff (again, natural, no worries)
-Can drip onto clothing, not good, so be careful.

In such a cheap package, it is incredible to see such results. I've had acne for about a year, and while this does NOT get rid of breakouts themselves, the scars are reasonably taken care of. My scars seem as though they will be gone fully soon. First, buy about 6 lemons. Second, cut a lemon in half on the first night. Wash your hands with water (just water) thoroughly. Squeeze juice into your hands (ignore the seeds). You should have about a pool the size of a quarter. Lightly pat this onto your face. Leave this on for about an hour. Thirdly, put the two halves of lemon in a refrigerator. Each half can be used as much as desired, but they lose their potency over time. Next, after you find it difficult to squeeze any more juice out, get a juicer, juice the lemon, and add the juice to a cup of water, which you should drink. Finally, and most importantly, drink LOTS of water (about 10 cups a day). And use moisterizer when you can, this helps the cells to regenerate f

Pros:

Smells great, inexpensive, easy to use, and natural.

Cons:

none really :)

I first started using the lemon on my face a couple of nights ago. I usually apply it to my face and leave it on for an hour before I wash it off. Let me tell you, it makes my skin feel so soft and smooth. I also remember that before I started using the lemon, I had a huge pimple above my lip and now, the swelling and redness has gone down significantly. Also, I have some acne scars that seem to be getting slightly lighter within the short period of time. I'm going to continue using this and hopefully I'll see great results!

Works quickly

Stings a bit

Works extremely well on my skin and made a dramatic difference in the size of my pimples in one day! I've started using it for a week and my friends have also noticed.

Pros:

Skin feels very clean and smooth, old scars starts to lighten and pimples gets smaller and disappears a lot quicker.

Cons:

Might sting a bit, depending on how bad and/or sensitive your skin is. And it might feel a bit dry.

I absolutely love this. Have been using this for a couple of weeks now and I can't believe I haven't heard of this earlier. I love how my skin feels sooo clean and fresh. I still get some acne, but it disappears a lot quicker than before. And all these scars I had are also disappearing a lot quicker than they normally would. I just take a slice of a normal lemon, rub it on my skin which I've already splashed a bit of water on. Then I wait for 5-10 minutes, wash it off(!!) and put on moisturizer. Remember that if your skin is sensitive it might make it irritated, considering it's lemon juice we're talking about here. It's kind of a peeling, so yeah... If you got sensitive skin don't leave it on for too long, and make sure everything gets washed off afterwards. Maybe in a month my skin has gotten even better, or maybe it just stops here. All I know is that this is definitely worth a try! Go try it out now!
