Not quite sure
I used lemon topically to get rid of my acne hyperpigmentation for 1 and half month only and havent seen much of improvments.If you wanna use it topically give it 3 months and more.The reason i stopped using it topically is because i've found out it works better taken as drink.

Great for oily skin and blackheads
Whenever I use lemon juice ( once to twice a week ), I focus on the areas that have blackheads, so around my lips and nose. I let it do its magic overnight and really do see the results. I don't apply the juice all over my face because it would make it dry and the acidic pH would make my sensitive skin act up. Overall great product but make sure to use freshly squeezed juice and lime works fine as well.

Pros:

Lightens Dark Spots/scars
minimizes acne
kills bacteria
inexpensive

Cons:

Stings
dries out skin (so use with moisturizer)

It's cheap, and it works! I just cut a lemon in half and squeeze/rub it on my face. Sounds nuts, but it gets the job done. I leave it on for a while (at least until dry) and wash it off with Oxy face wash. I'd recommend using a face moisturizer if you have dry skin already, but for me I have super oily skin so it's not needed. I've also read where you can use a mixture of it and water as well. I used to get complemented on how beautiful my skin was, because of this, even though I thought I'd never have pretty skin since I've been suffering from acne since I was thirteen. I've tried almost everything. If anything its worth a try! Its a common kitchen item.

Pros:

kills acne
leaves skin soft
fades scares

Cons:

can't keep on face!!!

This stuff is great, but there is one major problem. You have to wash it off! I kept it on my face over night and all my acne was shrinking and dying. Then when I tried to reapply it it stung like hell. You can't keep this stuff on your face, and if you can't keep it on your face then you have to wash it off. If you have to wash it off you WILL get acne. If you can somehow manage to keep it on your face all the time you will never have acne :)

Pros:

Works Great!
Is extremely cheap
Relatively fast

Cons:

Don't use if you have any open wounds/cuts on your face or you'll be in so much pain.

It's great, if you use it daily with a cotton bud you'll get results, it is great at reducing redness and can even reduce the appearance of scars. It really helped me get rid of most of my acne!

Pros:

reduces redness
leaves skin feeling soft
makes your face glow
inexpensive

Cons:

burns for a little while
can dry out sensitive skin

I can't afford expensive creams and whiteners, so I thought I'd give this a try. I squeezed a lemon into a container, kept it in the fridge, and applied at night with a cotton ball. Within a few days, I noticed that my scars were lighter. I'm not sure if I used it long enough or if I did something wrong, but this technique seemed to stop working after awhile. Nonetheless, I will keep trying it. It's definitely worth a shot. Just remember to use a moisturizer while doing this!

Pros:

Reduces swelling
Flat and soft skin
Easier to remove bad tings from skin
Does not make your skin feel too dry

Cons:

Stings if you have an open wound

1. Wash the skin with any soap. 2. Apply lemon juice on the skin. 3. Remove any bad things from skin softly and easily or just leave it. 4. If you have an open wound, do not apply lemon juice to it. 5. Wash the skin with water and enjoy flat and soft skin

Pros:

minimizes acne
gets rid of acne in a day!
makes face smooth and supp

Cons:

stings
left acne red for a long time

This thing is so great. I used it for the first time yesterday. I did something different though. I know many have said to only use it once a day. Well, I thought that by using in at least 4 times a day would speed up the healing process and for me it did. It brought up at least 3 new pimples and they also dried out by the next day! They pretty much just fell off :)) Anyways. I woke up and my face was glowy although I have supperficial acne spots that are very red throughout both my cheeks. This will take time to heal and i must be patient and let me tell you i am not very patient. I'm going to keep doing this 4x a day thing for ever! I clean my face with a VERY gentle cleanser and then i just dap w a cotton ball the juice and let it sit and wait 1 hour and apply again and wait 1hr and reapply and so on until I do it 4x. I make sure i do this so that by the time ive done the 4th time, its time for me to go to bed. Wake up in the morning and gently just rinse off and apply spf oil free non comedonegenic of 15 or more.

Pros:

First day saw instant results
Makes sense.. super high acid content should be killer against acne right?
makes my skin feel great
minimizes pores
great addition to your already standing regimen if you have tough skin

Cons:

if you just shaved. stings like a mother f-er

My goodness i love lemon juice, I have had acne for 6 years, finally went to a dermatologist about 2 months ago and she put on sulfacitimade and veltin gel, theyre good but nothing too effective, til i added a lemon. heres my regimen. AM: Cleanse with Acure Cleanser Squeeze out fresh lemon juice, apply, leave on for ten minutes rinse off Apply sulfacitimade wait a few minutes apply acure oil control moisturizer PM: Cleanse with acure cleanser apply veltin gel wait like 20 mins + apply lemon juice to face, i leave it on all night (i also apply acure night time chlorela moisturizer if i feel like my skin is dry, probably like every other night) In a few weeks on this regimen i have no acne. scars are almost gone. important things to note... I had been using the regimen with no lemon for about two months so my skin was used to the heavy chemicals. acure should be available at your nearest like whole foods, local natural food chain i have really tough skin and a really high pain tolerance so if you have neither of these you should dilute with water we also have a lemon tree so getting them was no problem

Pros:

Cheap
Easy to get hold of
Smells lovely
Natural
Didn't make my acne worse

Cons:

Made my face itchy
Burn abit
Didn't see any changes to acne or scars
Very drying

I would recommend this because the fact that its natural and cheap and very easy to get hold of and its worth a try if your desparate (like me). My own experience with it wasn't so good but just because of my own experience doesn't mean on others it won't work. My skin is sensitive and I guess the lemon acid my face can't handle. It stings and burns alot for me and my face goes red so definately a irratation on my skin. I used it once- twice a week for a month just to see if it would help even though it stung my face. Nothing happened so it wasn't really that great, good thing was that it didnt make my acne worse.
