Pros It works, to a point. For the first two weeks or so after I started drinking this stuff twice a day I really did stop getting break outs. Problem is just when all of my old ones were finally clearing up...new acne appeared and refuses to go away.
Cons It smells REALLY bad, and I could barely get it down the first time I tried it in water. I ended up mixing it in various juices to drown out the taste, which works fairly well.
Bottom line I say try it, even if it doesn't clear everything up for you it's supposed to be quite beneficial to your overall health, and it IS clearing up old redness for me, even if it's failing to prevent new breakouts entirely.

Pros More energetic, sleep easier and longer, clear headed, weight loss and happier =)
Cons tastes like rotten apple mixed with acid and doesn't really do much for acne
Bottom line it's a health drink so don't expect it to do too much for your skin. It made my skin glow a lot more but I think that was from the great sleep I got whenever I drank this before bed.
I still had acne when I drank this but I guess it was just less severe...
I got those little apple juice bottles and tipped in a tbsp in each one and would drink that every night but it still tasted dreadful xDD It also made me feel full...so I'd eat a lot less and ended up losing some pounds o_o (I weigh 95lbs normally and got down to 92 by the end of 2 weeks)

Pros None for me!
Cons -Terrible taste
-Made me light headed
Bottom line For over a month, I took a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar diluted in two cups of water. The brand I used was organic and contained mother.

I drank it diligently every day, but never noticed an improvement....ever! I read that it was some sort of 'miracle' that helped with so many things (even beyond acne), but I felt and looked EXACTLY the same as before I started drinking it.

I actually experienced negative effects-after about a week, I felt really light headed every time I stood up...and that wasn't just while I was drinking it. That was a consistent occurence. I know it was the apple cider vinegar because it never happened before, and it didn't happen after I stopped drinking it.

It seems to work for other people, so I would still say it's worth a shot. It's pretty cheap in the grand scheme of things.

The taste is bad, but take comfort in the fact that many other things taste much worse!

Pros Smoother complection, Less redness, Energy booster, Weight loss
Cons Smell, Taste isn't so great
Bottom line I've been using this for about 2 weeks. I first started off with the regular Heinz version which I didn't notice a huge difference. When I finally found the Organic version here in Germany I noticed feeling more energetic, my skin tone looks more glowy. I haven't noticed a huge difference in it's preventing pimples but I will say that this is kind of a laxative...So be prepared for that effect :)
Overall I say try it...You have nothing to lose at this point right?? You will get over the taste after a couple times. Make sure you drink this with water please!!! Not strait out of the bottle...I think you'll be sorry if you do it that way. So will your stomach :)

Pros It has definitely helped my skin look both more clear and more even.
Cons The taste, smell, and general association. Lets be honest with ourselves, we're drinking vinegar. Also, it feels sort of weirdly acidic in my stomach for a few minutes, plus that awful shivery tingle when taking a big drink.
Bottom line Firstly, it's awful. I'm not going to lie, it's just terrible at first. I'm going to assume I'll get used to it as I use it for longer than a bit more than a week, but it's not apple juice sweetheart. I make a cup of chamomile tea (all my other teas are some variation of black, and chamomile seems to match best) and dump a bit of organic acv from Trader Joe's in, maybe two or three tbs. I let it get coldish, maybe an hour, just enough so I can chug it. So I have a cup of water next to my tea, chug maybe a third of it while plugging my nose, then be sure to have your water as soon as you can, and seriously, don't unplug your nose until water is in your mouth! Acv in just water's okay too, but I think the tea reduces the gag at the end a bit. I do it twice a day, and I'm going to have to say it is worth it, because really it's like a minute of pain. I also use it as a toner, and my skin is looking much nicer and healthier than usual. So, I'm a begrudging fan.

Pros cleared up body acne, feel heathier, no more inflamation on face.
Cons taste, smell, some stomach disconfort, may cause stomach, esophagous and mouth burns, bad for teeth.
Bottom line It didn't do a lot for my face but worked really well on body acne. You have to wait an hour to brush your teeth though so you might as well try it you really have nothing to lose since no one has posted any signs of IB although if your dumb enough not to majorly dilute it and burn your mouth... but seriously, give it a try.

Pros -Cheap
-Easy to do
-Effective at preventing/reducing zits
Cons -Tastes horrible
Bottom line I've only been drinking ACV for exactly one (1) week. So far, so good, I guess.

The positives so far is that I have not received an initial outbreak. I haven't gotten more than 3 zits or so since using this. The only downside from drinking this is that I seem to get dry, chapped lips and tight, dry skin. The effects have been reduced after taking ACV for a few days.

Pros Inexpensive.
Cons Smells bad, caused stomach discomfort even though I didn't take it on an empty stomach, possible tooth enamel erosion, caused sourness in throat.
Bottom line After reading all the positive reviews for ACV both as a drink and as a toner, I decided to try it out. I drank 1-2 tsp of Bragg's ACV mixed in a cup of water every day 3 times a day for 2 months on a non-empty stomach. It did absolutely nothing. In fact, I think it made my acne a little worse. Definitely no improvement. During my last few days of drinking it, I had sourness in my throat all day and that worried me so I stopped drinking it. It also caused some stomach discomfort. I tried using it as a toner as well for a few weeks and that also did nothing.
