Coconut oil's comedogenic yeah but there's a difference between the refined or processed and virgin coconut oil variety. Virgin coconut oil's best for use on face in hair etc. As far as I'm aware 'virgin' coconut oil is non-comedogenic. In any case, I always think the best approach to these things is use by trial, like testing it on another body part to check for allergies. I usually check on my elbow.
Personally, virgin coconut oil helped me a LOT with my acne. Using it gently on skin, in moderation worked wonders for me. But again, this'll depend person to person.
As for the lemon yeah it's acidic. Don't think it's that harmful if used in conjunction with say, honey. Which is what I did. 2 Tbsp honey to half a teaspoon of fresh lemon juice. But I'll reiterate, all this depends on how an individual reacts to it.
