if so, can black people use it or will your skin become white?

Yes,lemon juice will fade out dark spots if applied faithfully. It has a clarifying effect on the skin and I use it when I've been out in the sun and I forgot to apply sunblock. It works to even out your skin tone so you might want to try it if you're allergic to hydroquinone.You can also use it on your knees and elbows to smoothen their appearance.
It's also great as an intimate wash instead of soap if you're prone to thrush and feminine itching as it won't disturb your bio-flora balance while freshening and cleansing.
Oh, and no silly,you won't turn white.

The lemon juice can turn your face colors if you apply and get in the sun. I experienced a mark on my face on a boat while eating lemons and the mark stayed for about 2 weeks. So I would avoid the lemon juice

It does bleach out brown spots, but you have to be very careful, use it only at night, wash or rinse out in the morning AND use a sunblock, if not you may end up with worse spots than before. Never go out in the sun with lemon juice on. It stains really badly.

Have you been watching the Brady Bunch reruns? You'd have to use alot of lemons, everyday for months and months to notice anything. you need to use products with alpha hydroxy acid in them to bleach any dark marks on your skin. You can purchase over the counter topical creams, just read the ingredients.
