Pros:

Brightens skin
No breakouts!

Cons:

Nothing!
Well except teeth

Wow all I have to say is wow! I love drinking pure lemon juice. I hate adding it to water cause it tasted disgusting so I just drink straight lemon juice. Make sure you don't drink it cold or else your stomach has to make it warm before it absorbs! I've gotten used to the taste (I didn't think I would at first but I guess fruit juice and anything that's very sour no longer bothers me. You just gotta tell yourself 'Not sour not sour not sour' and be confident about it! It just takes a few times and you get amazing results. I recommend it! As for the bad teeth just drink water immediately after drinking the juice and you won't have to worry. Thank you lemon juice! I shall respect you!

Pros:

Simple, cheap, tasty, effective

Cons:

Bad for teeth

I've been using lime juice in hot water rather than lemons but I believe it works in the same way. I was drinking this for two weeks for the general health benefits and not for acne but during that time I found my skin was less oily and somehow smoother. I forgot to drink it for a few days and my skin became more oily and puffy and I couldn't work out what it was until I realised the only thing I'd changed was to not drink the lime water. I'm amazed that such a simple thing can make such a difference! It won't solve your acne completely but it'll make your skin healthier making breakouts less likely.

I just lemon juice( not fresh squeezed ) in the morning and night. I add a few teaspoons of it in my first cup of water and my last. I'm very happy with my results.

Cons:

I take freshly squeezed lemon juice (about quarter a lemon) with luke warm water twice a day. Once between breakfast and lunch and another before going to bed. I don't take it in an empty stomach, since lemon is too acidic and I feel all the acid could do harm to the stomach and intestine in the long run...like ulcers. Warm water helps the body to quickly absorb the good stuff, instead of first trying to bring the temp of the liquid to body temp. That's how my grandparents and parents having taking it. Also, for those who are worried about their teeth...just use a straw...like I do. Take the straw in the middle of the mouth and just swallow the drink without letting it touch your teeth...Try it...You'll get it :D Enjoy the good skin in 2 weeks. It has become a part of my daily routine for life.

Pros:

Cheap, Easy, No topical side effects (like dryness), Tastes good, added health benefits, Works fast. Good for freshening breath.

Cons:

None So far.

Been using this for a couple months.I drink about 3 tablespoons twice a day(I just buy lemon juice concentrate), sometimes straight sometimes with water, adding as little or as much as I want to dilute the taste of the lemon. Also, sometimes add a tablespoon of honey, which doesn't seem to alter its effectiveness. I started using it for energy and cleaning out the body but I quickly noticed that it was making a difference in my skin. I have been prone to blackheads for a long time, some just sitting there starting at me for what seems like forever, within the first week a couple of bh's that I had for weeks just fell off. Within the first couple weeks my chin was soo smooth. At the point where I am at now, after a couple months or so, nearly all of the deep and stubborn clogs are gone from my skin. Nothing I have used topically has worked this well, this fast, and with so little side effects as this does. I use it in conjunction now with my Mario Badescu skin care regimen and for once I can really see a future without breakouts, which is not something I could have said at any other point in the last ten years of my life.

Pros:

personally, I think it tastes amazing :]
cheap,
easy .

Cons:

bad for teeth i guess.
some people don't like the taste,

i really hope this works, my acne isn't that bad, but I would love to be totally clear. I wash my face with neutrogena, and it doesn't do anything for me, so I just took lemon juice, and used it as a mask , iced my zit down, [ which also works wonders ] and then applied a toothpaste mask. and now I'm drinking the lemon water . I mean, maybe I shouldn't be doing this all at once, but it can't hurt too much .

Pros:

- reduces pores
- makes skin look and feel smooth
- breakouts diminish

Cons:

- acidic for teeth. you should NOT brush your teeth right after drinking lemon water because the enamel will wear off. you need to wait at least one hour before your brushing your teeth after eating/drinking acidic stuff. i use a straw, and i just rinse my mouth with water that has baking soda dissolved in it (as baking soda is alkaline).

i thought it was a bunch of hearsay when i heard that lemon water was good for acne. but i tried it anyway, and lo and behold, my skin is looking so freakin' good i cant believe it. i havent looked this good in YEARS, literally years! to top it off, ive had jaw surgery a few months ago and my skin was acting absolutely insane afterward (breakouts like never before). so i am absolutely ecstatic and still in disbelief that mere lemon water could've wiped out much of my misery over a period of just a few days. if you're a skeptic, i understand. but give it at least a week before you write it off.

Pros:

Awesome, Cheep, Easy

Cons:

None

I started drinking lemon juice because of a sore throat. the acid in the lemon juice kills the bacteria. After i started drinking it, i noticed that it was reducing the numbers of pimples i had. It also reduced the amount of break-outs i have, which now is basically none. it is also reducing the redness that i have had on my face from pimples that i have popped. i think this is one of the only, and also the easiest thing i have found that actually works wonders for acne. it is not just clearing up the acne that i have on my face, it is also clearing up the acne that i have on my chest. I have tried everything possible for acne, i have been to many dermatologist, but none of the medicine that they have gave me has worked as well as the lemon juice has in such a short amount of time. if anyone were to ask me how i cleared up my acne, I would have to tell them that i drink lemon juice. and that it actually works. For me the monthly cost is around $8.00 because i go through one bottle of lemon concentrate a week. i mix it with water and it is just so easy to use, and it gives fast results.
