Pros:

it is cheap and stops new zits from forming and you can find it anywhere

Cons:

stings alot and can leave red marks on the skin. also applying it is a chore.

ive been using lemon juice for over a month. i had some good results because it stopped new acne from forming but didnt do much for my present acne. it stings more than you would think. i still recommend it because it might work for you and you wont end up spending much money for it so you wont have much to lose even though i dont use it anymore

Pros:

It smoothes, brightens, tightens and clears your face. Acne scars are left minimal or not visible and pores are noticeably reduced. It also removes excess oil on the face and works as a toner as well!

Cons:

It itches for the first 30 seconds, stings for about 1-3 mins (depending on the person and their tolerance to pain, and how much is applieed) and leaves the face feeling tight (this may be seen as a pro aswell) stings on fresh spots and eye area.

I gave it a 4 because it stings and does not clear all spots At night, I use my face wash scrub etc. and then instead of using my toner I apply half a lemon to my face. I do so by cutting a whole lemon in half, and gently rubbing the lemon all over my face (even in the non-affected areas) and squeezing when I run out of juice. If i do use my toner it will only be to remove any extra dirt my cleanser and scrub may have missed but I rely on the lemon to do my toners previous job of tightening my face, reducing pore size etc. In the morning I wake up and wash my face with my facewash (this process also helps remove the lemon juice as well as the nights dirt) and then I tone and moisturize. If I am planning on staying in that day or am not going out till later on then I will once again repeat the lemon juice application. I apply the lemon juice whenever possible i.e. straight after school, after any sports or activities, if i've been in the garden etc be persistent to

Pros:

Refreshing on skin, fades blemishes, gives you a glow, tightens pores, reduce pimple swelling

Cons:

burns on popped, fresh pimples

Here's what I do: 1. At night, I make a baking soda mask, leave on for 20 minutes, Wash face. 2. Use Q-tip to apply fresh lemon juice 3. Wait til dry 4. Use Aloe Vera as a moisturizer When you wake up, face should be smoother and pores are tightened.In the morning, I wash my face with mild soap (instead of baking soda mask) followed by step 2,3,4(Sensitive skin, Dont use in the moring) .I also substitute baking soda mask with aspirin mask w/ water once a week.Baking soda removes dirt by lifting them. Lemon helps with blemishes and scars, and tightens pores, Aloe Vera quickly heals fresh pimples preventing scars as well as prevent new pimples. Aspirin helps the swelling of pimples. This works well, my scars are fading. Youl should notice results within 2 days and gets better overtime. No new pimples. Make sure you don't touch face with dirty hands (will cause you to break out more) TRY! IT WORKS

Pros:

It works!!! I've been using lemons to treat my acne scars for about 2 weeks now and I'm seeing results! I use it at night only though.

Cons:

Aside from the stinging and itching, there's no cons. It will take time before you start seeing results.

Remember to be consistent!! That is key! It won't work over night like some people claim but in 2 weeks or so, you'll see a difference in your skin. I'll be more tone, even out and your scars will be less noticeable. Use a vitamin e type lotion/moisterizer too. I started breaking out real bad 2 years ago and I get really bad nodule cystic acne on my chin (PAINFUL!) and it leaves an ugly scar. Plus, I have bad scarring on my neck!!! The scars on my cheeks and chin are fading faster but its taking more time in the neck area. So I use a baking soda exfoliating mixture in the neck area followed by the lemon mixture. Its working!!!

Pros:

LIGHTENS leftover acne spots, Cheap, easy to use, effective, natural, i could go on and on...

Cons:

slight sting? barely noticeable

This has done wonders for evening out my skin tone and eliminating the pigmentation that often follows acne. My dermatologist pointed out that I had a lot more "leftover spots" than actual acne. I looked up natural ways to get rid of them, and lemon seems to do the trick. I've been using it for two weeks and it has made a significant difference. I can't say if it's helping with my current acne because I'm on medication for that, but it's definitely not causing any breakouts. It also smooths out my skin. It's a great natural (and CHEAP) treatment, there's no reason not to try it!

Pros:

I love it! Its fading my acne marks slowly and clearing my skin at the same time.

Cons:

Stings a little

I take lemon and squeeze it into a little spray bottle i got from walmart and then i spray that juice on my back and my face before bedtime and sometimes in the morning if im not going out. It works wonders! Just make sure not to go in the sunlight when using it.
