Lemon Juice as an Astringent
I've had acne for over 22 years and after my giving birth 3 1/2 years ago the prescription med stopped working. I'm trying other alternatives. So today after spending the morning at the park sweating I decided to cleanse my face. For the heck of it, I rubbed a slice of lemon on my face after my cleanser. (I had bought a huge bag of lemons as part of a natural weight loss drink) So it immediately started burning. I didn't leave it on long, not even 5 minutes. But Whoa after I took it off I could immediately tell a difference. Some of my whiteheads came to the surface immediately. I could see white dots. As I begin to extract my face all of the whiteheads (including those that are resistant to the Proactiv mask) all came up to the surface. I followed up the extraction with the rest of the Proactiv + routine, Steps 2 and 3. I haven't tried lemon water yet, but based on the posts I see here. I may start.

Pros:
Cheap, Effective
Cons:
Can taste like #$@%
It works. You have to clean everything up from the inside..that's why it works so well. The taste sucks, but if you hate your zits you'll get over it. I use about 3 tablespoons in an 8 oz. glass of tap water..it works. Do it now. Doesn't have to be fresh lemons, by the way. Buy a bottle of Realemon, or whatever brand of bottled lemon juice is available to you.

Pros:
My threading specialist Rikki, suggested I drink lemon water to clear up my acne. I have been using it for two or three weeks now and my face looks great. It really Works!
Cons:
My teeth started to get a little sensitive so I
used more water and less lemon and I got my first pimple the next two days after. Soooo.. Do i want clear skin or bad teeth?
I will return to the original dose (half of the lemon) with 1 cup of water and I will use toothpaste for sensitive teeth. After all, I got my confidence back and I want to keep it.
Pros:
I've been using this product for three days and it has definately worked. I used about 2 tlbs of lemon juice a day and i added water my skin now looks much clearer and less red
