Great Results
I have been using lemon juice for the past two days and I have gotten better results than any of the other products I have used. My face has been getting less and less acne and my acne scars have faded. This is what I do:
-squeeze a lemon into a bowl
-mix it with a little sugar
-place a warm towel on your face to open you pores
-using a cotton ball apply juice to all affected areas of face
-wait 15 to 20 minutes
-wash off with cold water to close pores
-put on some kind of moisturizer (since lemon will dry skin causing a breakout)
Use this method once every two days and don't keep doing it since it will irritate your skin causing more acne. On the days you don't do this apply other remedies like: honey, aloe vera gel, or (i prefer) Benzoyl peroxide -- but remember to always open up pores when applying these

Cons:
The first few times it strings, but if you keep using it then it'll sting less and eventually it's not much of anything.
It can be a little sticky, but not bad.
It'll sting like hell if you have any open cuts, like any pop'd acne or a cut from shaving, it will burn badly if you put it on. It's not going to make it infected or anything, it'll just make you want to bunch everything in sight for about 5 minutes.
Buy pure lemon juice, it's cheap maybe $3 a bottle and it'll last you months. Soak a cotton ball with it, and squeeze most of the juice out of the cotton ball. Put it on your face, don't scrub, just enough to where it's on. Leave it on your face and feel the burn! The burning is actually the acid killing the acne bacteria. Do this once a day before bed.
This is the only thing I do now for my acne and it's gone, I'm just sure to do this once a day and I've been clear for months.

Pros:
*inexpensive
*diminishes old acne scars
*works like an astringent
Cons:
*itches like crazy when applied (but only for a few minutes)
It has worked wonders for my face so far. I haven't been this comfortable with my skin in a long time! I use lemons ever other day at night time. To make it easier for those who want to try it, I recommend cutting a small section of the lemon and squeezing the juice into a cup, dip a cotton ball and apply to a clean face. Endure the itching for a few minutes and that's it! Fresh face in the morning!!! I also use BP when I don't do the lemon treatment (every other day). The BP treat the acne and the lemons treat the acne scarring. Will post again soon.

Pros:
Makes Skin Glow.
Reduced Hyper Pigmentation.
Reduced Acne Lesions.
Smells Delicious.
Cheap.
Evens out skin tone.
Cons:
Sting a little bit.
After a particularly bad breakout, I was left with nasty hyper pigmentation marks that seemed to get darker every day. I looked at the reviews on this site and noticed that both Vinegar and Lemon Juice applied topically seemed to help people with dark marks and hyper pigmentation, so I decided to try both out. In the morning I would apply vinegar with a cotton pad, leave it on for 30 minutes and then wash it off and start my normal acne.org regimen. I did the same thing except with lemon juice at night (I drink whatever lemon juice I don't use). All I have to say is WOW. The vinegar has left my skin even and reduced oil throughout the day, and the lemon at night makes my skin GLOW when I wake up in the morning. My hyper pigmentation is 90% gone and I only have 2 pimples left. Definitely recommended. About a year ago I tried to leave the lemon on all day but it didn't work as well. Try it out!

Pros:
- Evens out skin tone.
- Fades red marks.
- Dries up acne.
Cons:
Burns, burns, burns.
But after a few days it gets better :)
I am so frustrated with myself that I have been struggling with horrible skin for years, and the answer has been in my fridge all along. After cleansing, I put fresh lemon juice on a cotton pad, and wipe it all over my face quite generously. I leave it on for about 30 mins, then rinse off. It makes my skin quite red and tight for a while, so I do this in the evening and then put aloe vera on and leave overnight. In the morning... voila! In only a week you can definitely see results.

Fades Scars
Fades Freckles And Discoloration
Soft Skin
Gives Your Skin A Glow
Prevents New Breakouts
Cons:
Stinging/ Itching Sensation Once Applied (Only Lasts About A Minute Though)
Lightens Your Skin
So this is my story. Clear skin all my life-turned 16- broke out daily-ran to my doctor like anyone would- doctor prescribed some BS acne medication (cetaphil/tactuo)- I used it-broke out even more- red/flaky/stinging/ skin- give up- have worse acne then ever before- realized acne products are not worth my time or money.
So when I thought all was hopeless, I stumbled across google which led me to my acne cure. LEMONS or LEMON JUICE.
Remember, if you stick to natural products its better for your skin in the long run even though it takes longer to see results. The less you touch and irritate your face with things, the better it is.
Daily Regimen-
Morning-
Wash face with water
Moisturize with Aveeno Night-
Wash Face with Aveeno moisturizing soap
Apply lemon juice to whole face (daily) leave it over night *simple and cheap* WORKS LIKE A CHARM

Pros:
clears scars
clears acne
tightens skin
makes skin smooth
Cons:
burns a bit
I had to find somewhere to write a review on on this because it was really weird... so in the past few months my acne has been reeeally really bad and my face is covered in dark red discolored scars. I started putting lemon juice on my face 2 days ago and already my skin is COMPLETELY flat, not a single bump (2 days ago!!!) I'm hoping this lasts but I guess I'll see, as far as scars go my face is looking not so red, but like I said its only been 2 days, so I'm sure in a couple weeks I'll see more of a difference. So what I've been doing is using my normal face wash and moisturizers. I use skintactix (because its not as harsh as a lot of main stream acne treatments like procativ, my skin is too sensitive for benzoyl peroxide). After I wash my face, I take a lemon slice and rub it all over my face and leave it for 10 minutes then rinse it off, then I put the rest of my face stuff on like I normally do (and I do this in the morning and at night). On top of that I started drinking hot water with half a lemon squished up in it, twice a day. Hope this helps!

Taking your cleanser first washing your face with a washcloth then removing, allow skin to breathe for a few sec to 3 min, before applying the half lemon directly to the skin.
Take your half lemon seeds and all and rub all over the face, being careful not to squeeze into your eyes.
Leave on the skin for even up to 5-10 minutes.. Then apply your warm cloth to the face by placing and holding rinse again then place and hold- do not rub.
Again, using warm water.
Using warm water increases the alpha hydroxy acid a bit more to increase circulation
