Works on scars/pigmentation
I have been using lemon for a while now and tested it on my skin for a very long time on and off. When you first apply it it can sting or irritate your skin but once your skins used to it it's fine. From my point of view I think it only works on scars and pigmented skin when I have used to on fresh acne spots it just really didn't do anything for me.

Lemons
Cons:
Stings
Can dry up your skin
It's been exactly one month since I tried using this. I can say that it really is effective when it comes to scars as they lighten way faster than normal (when you don't put anything at all and just leave it as it is). It prevents blackheads from getting worse. It also dries up my pimples at times but I'm not quite sure if it really can prevent pimples and blackheads from forming or coming back. However, it can dry your skin up but that's pretty easy to manage. Overall, I'm happy because it tightens up my skin and heals scars fast.

Pros:
Visibly reduced acne with each use
smaller pores
evened skin tone
reduced blackheads
Cons:
Burns like crazy!
Takes time
This is a very cheap and very effective way to help eliminate acne. I usually slice the lemon and rub it on my face for 30 minutes before rinsing it off and applying a moisturizer. This is less irritating for me than apple cider vinegar, but burns much more. If you can put up with the burn it will help a lot. It burns less with subsequent use if you use it regularly. I do not use it as much as I should only because I do not always have time to let it sit on my face for 30 minutes, seeing as I work and go to school full time.

Pros:
Easily available
Very cheap
Natural
Helps faded hyperpigmentation
Cons:
Stings a little upon application
Because it is so difficult to precisely pinpoint what causes acne, it is also very difficult to prove what can treat it. Therefore, I would love to say that applying a mixture of undiluted lemon juice, ginger and tea tree oil every night for 3 months has almost completely cleared my acne, but I can't. All I can say is that my skin is better since I've been using this mixture, although other factors, such as stress or diet may have helped the improvement of my skin. I would certainly recommend using lemon juice, it's cheap and it works well to fade the scars left behind. A little tip: Avoid going out in the sun with lemon juice on your face. Sun + acid = no!

I've always had problems with acne. And today I had this huge pimple on my nose and my mate's sixteenth birthday bash was next week! Normally with these giant zits, it'd take me one - two weeks to properly get it off, but I applied lemon juice on a whim and I woke up this morning and the pimple has already dried out! It's also a LOT smaller and a LOT redder so I can cover it up with concealer without it looking like some skin-colored bump on my face. What I do is take one lemon and squeeze out all of it's juices. Then I take a teapsoon of it and apply it cotton. I dilute it a little bit before putting in on my face and then I mix the rest of the lemon juice with water and drink it. Drinking lemon juice also helps give you that dewy complexion and helps lessens the break outs!

Pros:
Clears acne and reduces redness ALMOST overnight
Not drying
Cheap & Effective
Cons:
Stings
I've tried creams and home remedies and antibiotics and cleansers of all kinds. One day years ago I was walking in the mall and woman came up to me and said "lemon juice." I said "huh"? and she said "for your face..lemon juice."
I never tried it..not for years. Then one day I figured I'd give it a shot. It works nearly overnight. The redness and inflammation is noticeably reduced. It's great.
It does sting a tad for less than a minute after application, but totally worth it in my book. It also didn't dry out my skin which was another plus. :)

It made my acne pop by itself.
it made the white thing go out by itself
my skin felt so tight after 3-4 times i tried it
Very Cheap

Cons:
it made my acne & scars go red for a while

when your acne or zit popped it burrrnnss! but whatever, its worth it
when accidentally put the pulp on the face like right exactly on my big pore, it hurted so much..
I recommend Lemon for acne scars..
But if you have sensitive skin like i do , i recommend you putting a little bit of water...

Pros:
Exfoliated skin well. (if used with sugar)
Cheap.
Cons:
Stings.
Redness.
Bleaches your skin (could be pro for you).
Didn't get rid of acne at all.
I used this for about 2 weeks and I had to stop even though it exfoliated my skin well and was cheap, it stung my skin and I had alot of reddness. It bleached my skin and didn't get rid of acne and all.
June 1, 2011
Pros:
Did whiten my complexion ^^
Dried up some of my acne, but not all.
Faded a little of my scars and spots
Cons:
Will flow down to your whole face and sting clean areas.
Didn't reduce much of my redness, still e same. ><
Used it last night and this morning. So, in total twice.
My method, i squeeze the Lemon Juice and make it into ice cubes.
So when i apply it on my face is much much more easier, and convenient too.
I have oily and acne-prone skin so i think lemon won't be too harsh on my face.
:)
By the way, i'm now using Cleanz Plus Anti-Bacterial facial form (by skin doctor) & a weekly Simple, Oil balancing exfoliating wash, is it good ?
Pros:
Lightens scars fast
Cheap
Tightens up your skin.
