Pros:

no smell, dries the acne, does not dry skin....lightens the skin.

Cons:

stings just a little

guranteed to work, really fast! the exposed kit has a cleanser(glycolic acid), toner and some acne treatment, night and day treatments...a toner and microdermabrasion cloth. i alternate the toner with lemon juice and by the second week...i was looking good...ma dimples which were blocked by scars reappeared...yummy by the way once in a while u may get break outs cuz of hormones n stuff...they clear within days, its discouraging but after several months u will be perfect...no more breakouts! plus dont shave your beard often...for men! use scissors if you have to. dont use antibiotiocs/ they mess up ur hormones...am loving my oily skin..it makes me glow...ofcourse without the acne the derm cloth is for dermabrasion, do it once in a while doing the laser thingy...or other methods of dermabrasion is not for average economy people. u can thank me later guys!

Pros:

It wrks really really well... i had a dark patch on my skin... it made the spot lighter and i reduced my pimples

Cons:

it burns, stings, and on my 10th or 11th day my skin went totally red.. idk why

it wroks really well... i think that ppl wid senstive skin should use lemon juice (from a bottle) rather than the fresh lemon juice cuz that may be to hars on the skin....

Pros:

the only thing that helped fade my scars! worked better than expensive stuff i have tried

Cons:

burns a bit... i usually apply it and fan my face with a notebook or something for a few minutes. sometimes leaves face a bit sticky - but nothing outweighs the results!

it is WAY TOO CHEAP of a possibility not to try it... just try it and give it a week or so... there is nothing to lose!!!! definitely try this before buying expensive scar fading creams i would say after only a few applications you should hopefully notice a difference... bonus- it's all natural, no scary chemicals

Pros:

I started using lemon juice as a last resort since my pimples were starting to leave really nasty scars behind. I used a lot of products both off the market and from my gardens. I used lemon juice for around three days and boom! they just vanished.

Cons:

The stinging can get a bit uncomfortable...

The best and only thing that worked for me. I've tried everything from sandalwood to natural aloe vera to all the crap that you get in the market. If you're worried about permanent scarring from pimples, lemon juice will make you smile. My face is a lot fairer now, since the spots have been reduced remarkably. I surprised this is not a more popular remedy.

Not sure if working or not.

Pros:

Reduces redness after a while
Reduces scars
Doesn't cause irritation

Cons:

Little scabby whiteheads popping up
Sting like hell on fresh pimples
Takes a while to work

So I have had chin acne for the last 3 years. Just on my chin no where else. So I guess it's hormonal. Anyway I have tried every single product you can think of including antibiotics. The only thing that worked was erythromycin (acne eventually came back). It really wrecks your confidence. I decided to give lemon juice a try and I have heard good things about it. I'm three days into it, applying it overnight, it has cause some unusual whiteheads, no pus in them it's just scabs and there's about 10 of them. The redness is slowly going down I think, and some marks have disappeared. All in all I think to working will find out after a couple more days.

Pros:

work very well
fades ance scars
prevents new breakouts

Cons:

stings a bit

Before I go to bed every night i cut open a fresh lemon and juice it, then wash my face, apply the lemon juice, and wait 30 minutes to wash. I also drink the remaining lemon juice and use Dan regimen. it works very well, however right now i unfortunately have a big, red pimple on my cheek. i have very minor break outs now and before i would get a new breakout practially every night. definitely try it!

Pros:

Smooths skin
Fades marks
Stops new spots forming
Works as a toner

Cons:

Can cause slight redness the first few times
Can be drying

I don't think lemon juice heals spots but it does seem to prevent new ones and even out skin tone. Must be diluted at least by half, that's all you need anyway!Also don't use on any open wounds as it will sting.Best thing I ever used for spots as I now don't have a single one. :D

Pros:

Smells nice
Gets the job done
Makes skin feel great!

Cons:

Stings horribly if you have an open cut or recently popped pimple
May itch
May burn face in the sun

I didn't see results from nutrogena oil free wash it smelt good and felt nice but it didn't do the job and so I went online and looked up home remedies for acne and I saw a Lot of stuff so I did research and found out that lemon juice can do the job quite well so I went over to the fridge and saw a bottle of 100% lemon juice and applied it with a cotton ball it burned and stung but In a good way and I woke up and my smaller acne and the redness had gone down by alot and I felt so good about myself but avoid going in the sun while it is still freshly applied may cause severe burning and irritating feeling

-Nothing much

Cons:

-Stings a lot
-Makes my skin extremely dry. :/

Well,i have heard it has skin lightening properties and stuffs,but it isn't working on my dry skin. i would recommend it for oily skim,and it really helps to remove the oil.
