Pros:

Softens and lightens skin. Almost instantly gets rid of whiteheads.

Cons:

Stings. Leaves coating on skin.

Works great. I just started using it yesterday and I already notice a huge difference. I do not use it by itself though. First I use a water and baking soda paste as an exfoliator and then I use the lemon juice as a toner. I love it.

Pros:

None really

Cons:

It made my sckin a lot worse but that is because my skin is really sensitive.

try and see what you get you know thats all you can do. Works for a lot of people but not for me! Do what is best for you and what works for you.

Pros:

smells good, natural, WORKS BETTER then mederma, murad, or anything i've tried like it. cheap price,

Cons:

dries out skin a little but just use some good moisturizer. besides that I love it

Im 19 yrs old. I never had acne in high school but within the last year I started getting lots of acne on my chin and around the lower parts of my cheeks. It was making me really upset cause I have always been used to having glowing skin that i didn't need to cover up with make up so needless to say I have tried everything from proactiv, to using clean towel every time i dry my face, lots of other acne creams, masks, scrubs, cleansers. oil free everything etc. .... BUT NOTHING WORKS as well as lemons do. its amazing, something so simple, pure and cheap could fade redness so well and even prevent pimples from forming. I have been putting lemon juice on my face every night after washing it with a benzoyl peroxide wash, and I have yet to get another breakout in this past week and a half, and the red marks are fading fast, I LOVE IT! so oh oh oh good :)

Pros:

lightens scarring & red marks
helps reduce acne
leaves skin soft

Cons:

juicing lemons is somewhat annoying
can sting your face

I've tried lots of acne products and medications, but lemon juice is the first thing I've tried that I've truly been impressed with and compelled to review positively. My scarring & red marks have noticeably lightened. My scarring and redness looks about as good as it used to look when I wore makeup. I'm very happy with it.It also softens my skin. I am lucky to be renting a house with 3 mature lemon trees. I juice a basketful about once a week and store the juice in the fridge. I pour some undiluted juice on a cotton pad after cleansing and toning at night. The sting doesn't bother me much anymore and I now use it straight & leave it unrinsed while sleeping at night. If I forget to use the lemon juice at night for a few days, I notice the difference and come crawling back in a hurry. I break out less, look better, my skin feels softer, and the results are immediate. I've also been drinking a lot of lemon juice which I think helps. I will never be without a lemon tree ag

Pros:

Minimizes and eventually gets rid of pimples, makes your skin soft and smooth, brightens it, cheap.

Cons:

STINGS like hell, sometimes itches.

I'm slapping myself right now. Why couldn't I have used this before? Lemon juice is really clearing up my acne, and its only been half a week. It might take a little bit more time, but I'm positive I'll be clear in one month!! One thing i hate though, is the stinging. It really hurts for a few minutes and itches, but it goes away, and i would pick that over acne any day! Ignoring the pain, lemon juice is a good choice.

Pros:

- Works really well on all types of acne, but especially body acne (chest, back, neck)
- Reduces redness
- Good Fragrance

Cons:

-Stings a good amount
-Sticky
-A bit of a hassle

Really worked for me. Almost instantaneous results. It did miracles for my chest and back acne, and cleared up the few zits I have on my face. Kind of a hassle to cut up a lemon and apply it, but its worth the results.

Pros:

makes skin glow!

Cons:

Stings!

I steam my face over a hot pot for 10 minutes (I place a towel over head to trap steam) then rub lemon all over. I keep it on for 10 minutes then wash off if ots morning or sleep in it all night if its evening. For the whole day I have skin that glows and is supple. Be careful when steaming. I've never been burned, but be aware!

Pros:

Cleared up red areas of my skin THE FIRST NIGHT I USED IT!! It really does get rid of it all.

Cons:

It burns and itches really bad, very hard to not touch your face for the 5 minutes following application.

It does work but I apply it after I use the Oil Cleaning Method so I'm not sure if my results are still typical but by reading the above reviews it looks like they are! :-)
