Pros:

It cleared up my skin and lighten my dark acne scars i've had for over 14 years. It worked very fast.(african american skin/ honey brown complexion)

Cons:

It stings for a few sec's, and may itch for a sec; but will quickly stop.

I wash my face in the shower in the morning and at night. I then put the lemon juice on my face after my shower , because the steam from the shower opens your pores.It does work, very well. I love it!

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:

Cheap and cheerful, really seems to work. How did I not know about this before?! My whole face looks better

Cons:

Hard to travel with (weird taking a lemon with your overnight clothes)
Can sting like a b*tch

Make sure you use fresh lemon, not the bottled stuff. I tried that for a while but it made my skin very sticky and itchy and didn't do much. I use about 1/10th of a lemon, squeezed onto a cotton pad, then I wipe it over my clean face before bedtime. I use a normal oil free moisturiser in the morning because too much lemon makes you face dry.

Pros:

Made my skin clear up almost completely, brightens and evens skin tone, fades scars

Cons:

Makes your face feel sticky, Stings a bit

This stuff is amazing. I was on Accutane for six months, and my skin was mostly clear, but I had a lot of scars left over. After a while, my acne started to come back. I'd read about using lemon juice on here, so I started putting lemon juice on a cotton ball and applying it to my entire face. You could literally see results in days. The pimples I had disappeared, and my skin seemed a lot brighter and more even. I've been using it for a month now, and I now I can actually feel confident leaving the house without foundation, something I never would have been able to do before! Definitely give this one a try. It's cheap and you have nothing to lose. Great stuff, I'd recommend it to anyone.

Pros:

it works so well, and practically immediately! and my lips taste like lemons :)

Cons:

stings a decent bit at first, kinda itchy, and sticky

works well, and i cut the lemon in half, then into fourths, and used only one of those fourths for one use, so the tiny amount of money you spend goes a long way. i have such sensitive skin to man-made products for skin care, they always make it work. it seems that more natural remedies (like this) work the best- because i really know what is going onto my face ;)
