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.

Pros:

Very inexpensive.

Smells good and leaves my skin feeling very soft.

Cons:

Stings a little bit, but not very much.

Didnt quite have the effect on me that alot of people on here said it had on them. I am also on minocyclin acne pills and an acne gel and I was using the lemon when i washed my face but I didnt see a change.

I tried this for about three weeks and saw no change in my skin so I quit. Although it was a bit softer I didnt feel that it cleared up my acne like I was hoping. Maybe I will try it again in the future for a longer period of time and see if that helps.

Pros:

-Honestly, didn't really notice any.

Cons:

-BURRRNSSS.
-Burrnss!!
-SRSLY, it BURNS.
-Itches.
-Didn't notice any change in my skin.

I used lemon juice (from the bottle) for my acne, but I was really hoping it would help with my red scars. I used it for 2-3 weeks & didn't notice a difference & I got tired of the horrible burning & itching so I discontinued usage. Maybe it would have made a difference to use a fresh lemon rather than lemon juice from the bottle, I'm not sure. I've started using Mederma cream in hopes that will work since I've used it before & it helped.

Pros:

I guess it kind of made my face less red.

Cons:

Didn't clear up my acne one bit.

I read all about this so I decided to give it a try. Used it for 2 weeks straight and saw no change in my acne. Waste of time & money.

Pros:

-Cheap
-Good for people who don't have sensitive skin

Cons:

-Even when diluted it still stings!

I have VERY sensitive normal/oily skin.I tried this as a toner every night before bed for two weeks even when I diluted the lemon 70% water/ 30% lemon,it still stong!.It does work for acne scaring however since I have such sensitive skin I can't deal with the stinging!,my face turns BEAT red when I use this.Also it donsn't help active pimples.If you have strong (NOT sensitive) skin then this might work for scaring. p.s if you do use this get the pure 100% organic lemon juice,I do notice a difference when I use regular lemon and organic lemon.

Pros:

cheap, helps lighten hyperpigmentation scars slightly

Cons:

BREAK OUT! .. very drying/sticky

I used this for about a week, and broke out pretty bad which left scars for months! If you're going to use this, DONT use it everyday, and make sure you dilute it with water. Use with care and read your skins reaction.

Pros:

fresh feeling
better skin

Cons:

didnt change my acne

it may help to add a glow to the skin but it doesnt change acne. I found no effect on my acne. I'm going to try sea salt because I had to get some for my new ear piercing (it is awesome). When I went to the beach in I Florida i noticed my skin cleared so i hope this helps; acne can sure be a bother to your life! Oh well we must all live on. Try lemon juice for a bit to see what happens; its not like it can really hurt your skin, and its fairly cheap to get.
