Pros:

Works great!I use it every night on new and old pimples. The new ones go went away rather quickly and have not come back since. It has also reduces the redness in my skin, and lessened the appereance of acne scars. No more breakouts. Adult acne gone!

Cons:

Stings slightly until you get used to it.

I was a little skeptical about using lemon juice because I am an African American and afraid of the it bleaching my skin, but it doesn't. It adds a radiant glow to my skin tone. Would recommend this to anyone with acne problems. I've tried everything, and some may have worked for a short time, and then would began to work against my skin. I've used this for about a month now, and I've only seen positive results. I use a Q-Tip and dot the acne (or acne scars), leave on for at least 30 minutes, rinse with warm water. Great results.

Pros:

I have oily skin and its keeps my skin less oily and gives it a clean feel and look

Cons:

The con is you have to keep it cold so when it touches your skin it's freezing

I actually blend a cucumber and some lemon juice together I then put it on my skin a few time a day. Cucumber is known to be great on acne that is why I mix it in.

Pros:

got rid of my pimples in just 2 weeks

Cons:

none

I've been suffering from acne for 1 yr,for 26 years i never had acne, my skin was fine, den i used the clinique 3step wishing to have a nicer skin and broke out after 3 days of using, i was so sad because i had pimples on every part of my face not just few pimples, but lots and lots of pimples. I tried everything from gycolic acid, proactiv, neutrogena, clean and clear,natural stuff like green tea, aloe vera nd etc and etc. i must have spent a fortune buying stuff that didn't work, den 2 weeks ago i read that drinking lemon juice with hot water b4 having ur breakfast cleanses your liver, so i tried it and after 1 wk i could see the difference and after 2 weeks i only have 1 pimple left, iam so amazed and happy, pls try it! the best lesson that i learned, don't be brainwashed of the things that big cosmetics and beauty companies sell, if you have a blemish free skin don't put anything on it or you might feel sorry!!!!

Hurts at first then u get use to it after a minute in a half. for faster results use it morning and night.

Leave it on for about 20 min everyday for about 2 weeks and u will see results... acne goes away & ur acne scars start to fade away.I personally like it because my scars went away in about 2 weeks and i had good looking skin. TRY IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SERIOUSLY!!! trying to help! .Good luck.

Good for scars/scabs but not for your entire face
Unfortunately it broke me out pretty bad. Works good to heal popped/old pimples though.

Didint work so well for me!!
When i tried applying fresh lemon juice on my acne, i could feel a stinging feeling and it got better after a while. But the next day, the skin inflammation got worse and breakouts started to increase. It didnt work well on my skin, maybe i have a sensitive skin. I tried egg white and it works best for me!!

Worst. thing. ever.

Pros:

Cheap
Easy to get
Easy to apply

Cons:

Way too acidic
Made my acne worse
Left a stinging sensation

The acid made me break out like crazy. I over used the product as well, I guess if you take very little lemon it might work, but for me it damaged my skin severely and I still have some marks left. It left a stinging sensation which I thought was a good sign at first, but it turned out to be a bad sign. Don't use harsh products on your skin, it damages more than it helps.
