I love it.
Honestly , Lemon is a blessing to me , because rubbing a sliced lemon on your acne scar or pimple , reduces the darkness and makes the pimple pop faster . I had a lot of scars on my legs and it was embarrassing but using lemon faded them a lot. I truly recommend using lemon for any type of face lighting or acne reducing. Lemon and honey will get you right ;) Honey will make the skin glow , and lemon reduces scars and pimples. It's a win win , go AWF people :)

Amazing so far.

Cons:

Stings at first

I've started applying lemon juice on mostly my forehead to get rid of those stupid whiteheads since Monday every night before i go to sleep. All I can say is that it's kind of improving it. I know nothing can't happen right away so I'm going to give it two weeks to see if it'll really work. I also started to drink warm water with freshly squeezed lemon once a day too. Hopefully this helps with the whiteheads I have on my forehead!

Pros:

Makes skin feel smooth. Smells good.

Cons:

Makes face break out. Had no effects.

I just started using this last week, and I wish I could give it more time to see if it actually worked, but unfortunately it made me break out way too much, so I had to stop. I've had pretty moderate acne since high school, but after taking Accutane for a couple years my skin finally cleared up with the occasional breakout here and there. Unfortunately I have a lot of dark spots from when I had acne, so I've been trying to find something to lighten them up. I bought two lemons, squeezed the juice out, mixed 3/4 filtered water with it, dabbed it on my face like a toner at night, washed it off 15 minutes later. Haven't seen any improvements to the dark spots, just a lot of breakouts. If you have sensitive skin, I'd recommend talking to a dermotologist before trying this one.

Pros:

-very soft skin
-brightening effect
-tastes/smells good
-seemed to get rid of flakiness

Cons:

-Made me break, especially on my forehead
-Kind of a pain to buy fresh lemons and squeeze them everyday

I'm so sad that this made me break out because the part of my skin that wasn't covered in small bumps and pimples looked beautiful - soft, smooth and glowing. Based on my experience I wouldn't recommend it, which is why I put "no" but still it's worth a try because it's cheap and it seems like a lot of people have got good results.

Pros:

Super cheap! Smells good! Clears your skin up :)

Cons:

Really itchy..and is kinda gunky on your face

i have been using this for about a week or two. At first I was using this everyday, but then it was making me get big cyst bumps on my face. So now I use it every other day or every 2 days. It works great, and i guarantee you'll see results after first use. I rarely get pimples like black heads and stuff but i did get the underground bumps, but this has made a huge difference in my skin.

Pros:

Has the ability to bleach skin thus lighten acne scars. Gives skin a glow. Cheap, easy to put on.

Cons:

Slight burn

I have clear skin on most of my face with the exception of my forehead. I have over 10 pimples/scars on my forehead alone! I tried mederma, toothpaste, you name it, none of it has worked. So someone told me about using lemons as an astrigent. I decided to give it a try, I've only used this for 2 nights so far and it does to an extent lighten scars but i think it should take a week or two for more visible changes. I will continue to use it as a spot treatment on my bumps and scars. I leave it on overnight and apply it with a cutip. I did get 1 new pimple however in the last 2 nights so i dont know if it was the lemon that caused it or just my skin getting more pimples on it own. Nevertheless if you have scars and blemishes putting some juice on them is worth a shot. I will come back with an update in about a week.

Pros:

Skin is taut and glows after use. Gets rid of blemishes

Cons:

Burns like an ass-whoopin'. Dries skin. Ageing over time. Skin darkens if used before going out in the sun.

I love the immediate results. Clears pimples, gives skin a nice greaseless glow. I use at night - never before going out in the sun. No noticeable fading of scars though. Also noticed the skin a bit crinkly. I think this product might be ageing.
