Cons:
Stings if used too frequently. Takes a few extra minutes time to cut up (1/4 for whole face), squeeze juice, apply, and wash off.
Must be used with other acne meds for best results. I used salicylic acid wash/benzoyl peroxide and adapalene daily (day and night respectively). Lemon juice once or twice a week. YMMV I'm an engineer so I personally like to think of it as a rate in/out problem. To improve one's condition the rate of new pimples forming (R_in) must be lower than the rate of which pimples are removed (R_out). If R_in << R_out then you'll clear up very fast. For Lemon juice... it removes top layer of skin and makes new skin grow (complicated cell signaling stuff I won't get into =P). This causes pimples to be moved towards the surface more quickly. However, if used too frequently it may cause more pimples to form . Keep in mind that lemon juice may not be sterile (use sterile technique always! google it if you're not familiar with this). I recommend squeezing your own every time. Wrap unused quarter portions in saran wrap, fridge.

Pros:
Cheap
Easy to use
Leaves skin feeling smooth
Cons:
Itches
I've been using this thing for 2 days now. I heard that a lemon can lighten the skin so I bought one. My school had me in the sun for community service for hours over the summer and left my face and lower arms darker than my true color (I'm a light brown). I don't really notice any changes as far as the acne goes since i barely have acne. Although when I was dealing with bad acne it left me with a few dark marks on the right side of my face. I'm what you call a pretty boy so scars and two toned skin is a NO NO for me. First I wash my face with deep cleansing cream to get rid of the oils and dirt that might block the lemon juice from the full effect. I cut the lemon in half then I stab into the flesh a few times to get the juices flowing. I then squeeze it into a cup and add 3 table spoons of water. I take a cotton swab and rub it on my face and on my lower arms. It itched really bad the first time so I washed it off after like 2 mins. Later on that night it itched, but not as bad as the first so i kept it on for about 10 mins and then rinsed it off. I'll give it about a week to see if it helps in removing the scars and removing the darker shade of skin from my face and lower arms.

Pros:
Gives skin a little bit of a glow, reduces pimple size, controls oil secretions, reduce pore size, lightens scars very slightly
Cons:
Mild stinging and burning sensation, drying to the skin, doesn't do very much with my blackheads & scars
I use this as an astringent; I put about one or two tbsp. of lemon juice in a cup with an ice cube (helps close the pores :D ) and I just dip a cotton pad in it and apply the cold juice all over the affected areas. I don't put it all over the face as it can be very drying, especially during the winter months. I use vitamin E oil on the dry areas- works wonders! I do this every morning and night after I wash my face. It does help with existing acne- if I have a really big ones, I'll put the lemon juice over it and the next morning it won't hurt as bad and the swelling will go down a little. As for my scars, I haven't noticed a dramatic difference which is my main issue, apart from the blackheads. I don't get a lot of big breakouts anymore except when I'm stressed; however it seems as though the lemon juice works much better on those than with my actual scars & blackheads. I've been keeping this up for a few weeks so hopefully in a month or so my skin will improve!

Ive only used this once so far..last night & this morning..after i saw all of the amazing comments it was getting i had to try it..haha who would of thought u only need to spend 79 cents to improve your skin! =) i love it..it reallyyyyyyyyy stings though hahaha (clearly)
ive been breaking out A LOT which is dissapointing because my skin was finally clear....i guess it tricked me =( lol then i got my period and broke out like crazy went on this website and saw that lemons according to the reviews do the trick i was my face in the morning with clean & clear pore cleanser

Pros:
Clears pimples fast! Reduces Rednes. Very cheap!
Cons:
Stings for a couple minutes after applied.
I started using lemon 5 days ago and already I'm seeing great results. I had a hard time clearing up pimples on my forehead and chin. Nothing seemed to work. The first night I put on lemon juice, I woke up and noticed that most of the pimples had already been cleared up. Although it does sting it is so worth it! It works better than clinical cream.
Definitely not for sensitive skin though.
