Pros:

greatly reduced redness and inflammation immediately

Cons:

no cons

Lately I have been breaking out very badly because I stopped using benzyol peroxide and switched to natural products (tea tree oil and jojoba oil). Yesterday my skin was absolutely awful and I was supposed to attend a party later that night. I needed better skin immediately because I just had NO confidence. Here's what I did: I washed my face with an all natural cleanser very very gently. Then, I applied a mixture of lemon juice and warm water to my face and let it sit for about 10 mins. and rinsed it off afterward. I then SPOT treated my face with tea tree oil by applying it gently with a Q-tip. When I use it all over my face it seems to make me break out worse. Finally, I applied an oil free moisturizer. If you are looking for something quick, this will do the job.

Pros:

Worked so well.
Couldn't believe the reseults it's brought to me.
I've struggles with acne since about 7th grade, I'm in 11th now. I used it for 1 week and noticed a huge difference, after 3 weeks it's almost completley gone. I HIGHLY recommend

Cons:

A tad sting but nothing too bad.

Use it while taking a shower, wash your face with water first, dry it off, then pour the lemon juice into your hand and wash your face, let it sit for about 5 mins then rinse under the shower. It's way better than Pro-active or anything a doctor subscribes to you & very cheap... Works so well, you'll notice a difference after a week, continue to use it and don't stop. After about 2-3 weeks, you'll notice it clearing up A LOT. As I said, I struggled with bad acne for a long time, but it's starting to go away now because of this. With summer coming up, get some mild sun. It'll help dry your pores. Use DAILY without a doubt :]

Pros:

Rids face of redness, Gets rid of the big stuff, Lessens appearance of scars

Cons:

Did burn a little bit

Read up on lemon juice and its effects on acne after being told to try it by some random guy.. Reading through ppl's reviews on here, I decided it couldn't hurt, so last night, I gave it a go.. Washed my face with the dove beauty bar like I always do, then after, took a slice of lemon, squeezed it in my hand, and applied it to my whole face with a cotton swab.. It burned at first, so i put a little water on, too... This afternoon I woke up with my face looking a little bit more even. but still had alotta bumps and a huge red pimple coming in on my cheek.. Then later in the day, I mixed an egg white and lemon juice(1 slice) as a 20 minute mask.. Just looked in the mirror, and the pimple on my cheek is tiny, not even pink anymore, and you can hardly see it.. Also, I noticed an immediate result in the smoothness of my skin... I'm gonna keep it up for a week or two then update..

Pros:

It works!! Squeeze some lemon juice into a container/cup and dab a cotton wool/makeup pad into it, then dab onto face. Leave overnight.

Cons:

Stings, especially on active, red pimples.

Have tried so many different products from beauticians, doctors, dermatologists... Nothing has ever worked so well and so quickly (overnight!)

Pros:

Cheap and it seems to work. It doesn't leave dry skin flakes like other drying face wash, but it is very drying. Fades existing scars. It works the same way as Beta-Hydroxy acids but since it's an Alpha-Hydroxy it must be left on.

Cons:

I think it may have formed a sligh rash on my cheeck...so I don't recommend using it where you don't need it (I generaly only have T-spot acne)

I've only been using it for about 4-5 days, and I'm going to try using it with Olive oil as a moisturizer. I'm still getting the occasional whitehead and blackheads but the nasty cystic type zits seem to have stopped forming. But I've also changed my diet slightly.

Pros:

It works.

Cons:

none.

I've tried EVERYTHING to make my face better. Ive tried proactiv, differn, retin-A, many pills, and over the counter products. Ive spend tons of money on products that didnt work. After using the lemon every morning and night, it helped clear up my face. My regime is using the Murad facewash and using a q- tip on the actual pimples. This really works, and I feel like I shouldnt be embarrassed of my face anymore.

Pros:

smells great, feels great, and it is all natural [if you have a tree outside like me, then its free!]

Cons:

stings for the first minute or so

your face feels refreshed without the gunky buildup many products leave. My advice, put it on before a night out and don't wear makeup: it gives your face a glow and reduces any pimples or red marks... and you don't have to worry about falling asleep with makeup on!
