Pros:

Smells great, tightens pores, skin glows and no new acne...knock on wood!

Cons:

Stings at first, but that tells me its working.

Give it a shot, you've got nothing to lose! I recently learned I was pregnant and had to stop EVERY prescription medication. I FREAKED. Have no fear, lemon juice is here! And my skin is even more beautiful w/o the other medications... Its organic!

Pros:

I apply a slice of lemon on my face every night. I wanted to know after you start applying lemon juice, how long does it takes for the blemished skin to go away? I'm sick and tired of my blemished skin on my upper lips.

It works out, though it burns your skin for 2 minutes after that you can't even feel it. But I still wanted to know...how long will it take the blemished skin on my upper lips to go away by applying lemon juice?

Pros:

My pimples started clearing up with only one use.

Cons:

It does sting a little, but nothing too very uncomfortable.

This is great to use if you have a lot of redness and pimples. It also really helped to clear up my blackheads. This is the only thing I've used that has worked so quickly, it also leaves skin soft and glowing!

Pros:

It's cheap and doesn't taste bad?

Cons:

Everything else. Lemon juice really burns.

It may be possible that lemon juice would eventually cure all of my acne woes, but in the short term, it gave me the worst acne I have ever had in my entire life.

Pros:

Makes skin look clean, clear, and healthy pretty fast.

Cons:

Itches/burns, but the more you use it: It's not that bad.

AMAZING. Products I have used are applied to the pimple to make them dissapear. They took forever to heal, and the scars took a long time to go away. And then my acne would just keep comming back anyway...But with lemon juice, it keeps it from comming back, and also makes you look more fresh and healthy. I apply it to my skin for about 5 minutes, then wash it off, and immediately after, my skin feels so smooth. I stopped using it for a while, and my acne returned, so I'm not doing that again. This definitly works better than anything I've tried. BTW, i use it from one of those bottles.

Pros:

I see most of my pimples becoming smaller by the next day.

Cons:

Leaves my pimples bright red

Used bottled lemon juice and left it on for the night

Pros:

It feels refreshing, and it also smells refreshing.
It rids of oiliness in your skin.

Cons:

It didn't really work for me, there was no immediate sign of acne relief or treatment.

Well the bottom line is, I don't think it will work for everyone, but try it if you will. I used it for a few days, using the lemon juice as a "wash" and left it on overnight. There was no clear sign of improvement (i took pictures), some were gradually going away, but that always happens regardless of treatment. But i still recommend those who have not yet used Lemons for acne treatment yet, as it may work on you!

Pros:

+It may help dry up pimples
+If used consistently, it will also reduce the appearance of red marks

Cons:

-It burns and stings
-It can damage your skin because of the acidity
-It dries out your skin badly

While it does help a little to clear up acne, it will do more damage than good. The acidity of the lemon juice will damage your skin and dry it out.
