Pros:

Clears up acne right away!

Cons:

None

I have tried everything! From Proactive, to other household stuff like honey, eggs, and etc. Every Night before i go to bed I use a Q Tip and put it only where i have acne, then leave it on overnight. I can in all honesty say this works better then anything else I've tried, and i barely have an acne now.

Pros:

Gives a refreshed look, reduces red marks, lightens freckles, help treat and prevent acne and blackheads, tightens pores, smells nice, and just gives a natural glow

Cons:

Itches, stings, burns, leaves face red for a little bit.

It's great stuff, it helped me reduce the look of acne scarring, blackheads, and just dries pimples out, and reduces them for future refrence.

Pros:

everything =)

Cons:

stings a lot.....

to cakeandbubbly, Novi, MI Lemon WILL work, but it takes time. It will "push" your "acne -to be" deep inside your skin out to the surface of your skin. So it is normal to get worse before getting better. Give lemon at least 3 weeks to see result. Same thing happened to me when i started using lemon. I broke out a lot, but it's getting better in 2-3 weeks, I used to have very severe acne, and now I'm acne-free. Be patient, and you will see result within weeks. Drinking freshly squeezed lemon every morning and night will also help acne. Good luck! =)

Pros:

-Currently working well for me. Clearing up acne+scars.
-No returning acne, and cleared up existing acne.
-Cheap, smells great, and you can feel it working on your skin. Also noticed a decrease of the oil on my face.

Cons:

-Stings like the dickens if you get it in a cut, or irritated acne.
-Might appear to make skin worse for the first couple days. This is common in most acne treatments due to your skin/body getting used to the treatment.

I decided to give this a try after having a real bad break out about 4-5 days ago. The medicine the dermatologist gave me was expensive, and wasn't doing as well as it should have been. I went cold turkey on my two topicals, and this was after going cold turkey on the antibiotic pills (minocyclin I think?), about 2 months ago. I can say that when I stopped the pills, I seemed to start clearing up a lot better, and when I stopped the first topical, it got even better. Now that I'm completely off of medication, and just using a basic soap free cleanser (makes my skin feel really good), and lemon juice in the morning and at night applied topically, I've noticed my skin is doing a lot better. Not only that, but it feels better. Smoother than ever before. I would definitely recommend lemon juice for people with acne and oily skin. I think the excess oil on my skin is what caused a lot of my breakouts, and this does a great job of reducing it and keeping it at bay.

Pros:

-Works very well
-Natural
-Cheap

Cons:

-Really only a spot treatment
-Slight burn (but you know it's working)

While I don't put this all over my face, I do apply it to a developing pimple or a recently popped one. Drip a little on a cotton swab and rub over the area. It will either dry out the developing blemish, or clean out the open pore of a popped zit. I use it along with a BP-based cleanser and aloe vera gel. It's great, not only because it works, but because it's also all-natural, costs only a couple bucks for months of use, and is not an embarrassing tube of some cream. As for the burn, it's only slight, and I actually enjoy it because it makes me think that it's doing something. It does dry your skin, but if you use a moisturizer like Fruit Of The Earth Aloe Gel you shouldn't have any problems. As for scarring, I have perceived none. Try this. It really works.
