Pros:

LIGHTENS leftover acne spots, Cheap, easy to use, effective, natural, i could go on and on...

Cons:

slight sting? barely noticeable

This has done wonders for evening out my skin tone and eliminating the pigmentation that often follows acne. My dermatologist pointed out that I had a lot more "leftover spots" than actual acne. I looked up natural ways to get rid of them, and lemon seems to do the trick. I've been using it for two weeks and it has made a significant difference. I can't say if it's helping with my current acne because I'm on medication for that, but it's definitely not causing any breakouts. It also smooths out my skin. It's a great natural (and CHEAP) treatment, there's no reason not to try it!

Pros:

I love it! Its fading my acne marks slowly and clearing my skin at the same time.

Cons:

Stings a little

I take lemon and squeeze it into a little spray bottle i got from walmart and then i spray that juice on my back and my face before bedtime and sometimes in the morning if im not going out. It works wonders! Just make sure not to go in the sunlight when using it.

Pros:

I just started using it!!! i really hope this works i ahve tried just about evrrything there is!
Proactive sorta worked then there's the PILL (roacutain) i think and also a very mild but irritating to me topical gel (can't remember name though!)

Cons:

I dunno what they are yet.. but it did sting a bit but hey i am a big boy!

I have quite bad skin i never used to have that was until before moving to the UK! i am from South africa ( a hot and beautiful place to live) i used to have great skin! the weather factor here must have contributed to my bad skin! as well of course being a teenager but i am nearly 18 now so i thought i would grow out of it ya know?! unfortunately it got progressively worse and started to SCAR!! my Dermotologist said it was 'Acne scarring' and there's no cure! except for laser therapy or something and even then there's no "qaurentees" as she said! i was so discouraged by that.. Anyway i just put it on right after i had a shower, cleansed my face with luke warm water then applied my dryskin moisturiser (I also suffer from very bad dry skin!)and took a pad (cottonwool) from my Mother ,got the juice from the fridge i used 100% concentrated lemon juice bought staight from a health store (as recommended by a friend) does that make any difference? I guess i'l find o

Pros:

Clears blackheads, reduces visibility of scars, brightens skin, evens out skin tone,

Cons:

Can leave your face a lil red temporarily if you apply the juice straight from the lemon.

I really love this stuff. I put it all over my body. If it's harsh for people's skin I suggest putting the lemon slice in a glass and letting the juice get into the water. Then use the water to apply to your face and body.

Pros:

I used it once over night and my skin was looking so much better by the morning . My skin felt smooth and pimples had either gone away compleatly or gotten smaller or lessened in redness

Cons:

At first it does sting a little but not very bad and only for a few seconds so its totally worth it

It works extremely well and i would reccomed it to anyone

Pros:

I applied the lemon juice not long ago and it did not sting at all. its cause i have no irritated skin but if there were, then you should apply some water to the juice to not make it so acidic and add oatmeal milk.(oatmeal crushed/water)

Cons:

dont add it to areas that have recently been irritated...it will sting and if your skin is very senstive dont leave it on all night... a few hours would be good.

Lemon juice is a natural toner and gets rid of oil or the nasty white pimplely stuff. leaving it on all night is a risk that some will take if their skin is not too sensitive. Lemon juice should be combined with oatmeal juice, cucumbers, or a fruit known for its non acidic properties if you worry about a breakout or stinging. peace! since it is a powerful toner, i try not to use it all the time.. maybe every now and then.
