Did nothing
Being overly stressed out and living where it's hot and humid most of summer, my skin broke out. Seemed like from one day to another my forehead had completely erupted and was entirely congested and mostly around my jawline and somewhat on my chin and cheeks as well. Desperate and wanting to go for the natural route, I googled drinking apple cider vinegar for acne as I had heard great things about it before. I stumbled upon the article on xovain (pretty sure was the first result) about drinking it for a week in large amounts, seemed convincing so I went for it. Drank four tablespoons of Bragg's apple cider vinegar in water (and decaffeinated green tea), three times a day, for seven days. I was so hopeful this would rid me of the congested all over my face but my experience was not a great one. Drinking this did absolutely nothing, didn't make it worse or better, just nothing except give me two sores in my mouth the fifth day of drinking it. Was disappointed of course but glad I tried it and stuck it out for those seven days. Definitely don't recommend this approach or really feel that this will have any or much of an effect on acne which you can probably read about on the acne einstein site "myth busting ' apple cider vinegar for acne." Still worth a try as some people have been successful.

I immediately Broke out from drinking apple cidar vinegar
Forgive me for any grammatical errors please, Alright sooooo, let me dive right into it. I have been taking either one or two (depends on how I feel that morning or night) tablespoons of Apple Cider Vinegar NOT dilluted for about a month an a half. I began to break out immediately but I thought it was because I was using the wrong washing powder, any ways, sorry , but I was taking ACV for a faster metabolism not for my face I didn't even know that it could so called HELP with acne, sorry anyways, basically my face looks horrible , I would take a picture but I rather you guys get your laugh from cartoon network and not my face, but ok so I would really like to know what can help clear it up. I am a workout addict and sweating isnt doing it, I don't eat beef, pork or drink sodas all I drink is water and green tea. I choose to eat like this this isn't a punishment. but yeah anyways, so I've tried turmeric , mixed with other natural herbs but nothing is working, can someone please help me clear my skin, my face is so ugly I try to avoid mirrors. I know a lot of blogs say that ACV will make you break out FIRST then it will clear it up because it is detoxifying your body but there are toxins in everything I eat so What the heck is the ACV going to do keep messing up my face until I become a vegan but Seriously sorry ,if possible can it be affordable I mean like im a college student, I am NOT about to pay 40 dollars for a little tube of something that i dont even know if it will work or not. I honestly need jesus to lay his hands on my face, i'd love that, that would just make me a happy camper, alright sorry i'm done. Help me please . Oh yeah and I stopped taking the ACV about a week ago , hopefully you know that but alright . toodles

Pros:

it's supposed to be good for you

Cons:

it caused gastritis - a condition that lasted for months
smells and tastes bad
there's no offficial FDA research on it for acne
IT DAMAGES YOUR STOMACH LINING!!!!

I drank ACV for about 5 months. It caused gastritis (inflammation of the stomach). It took a long time to diagnose and many medical bills to figure out what was wrong. It also caused frequent heart burn. I used less than the recommended amount too. If you are drinking this stuff and are having heart burn or nausea, you should probably stop. After I stopped drinking ACV, I had stomach problems for about 9 months and had to take Zantac 75 everyday.

Pros:

NO pros

Cons:

READ* DO NOT DRINK THIS STUFF ! I drank this for 5 months the way it recommended, I now have gastritis from this stuff ! I can't eat anything right now, and I don't now how long this will go on! I get random spells where I can hardly breathe, I could go on and on! What this stuff does is eat away the lining of your stomach ! You may not enough know you have it yet but it will give you it, and if you go long enough you'll get ulcers etc ! DONT DRINK THIS STUFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Worst mistake of my life

Pros:

None

Cons:

bad taste
Inconvenience
heartburn
No change in skin

Tried this for about 3 months. It was recommended by my mom's holistic doctor before I saw a real dermatologist. If you have real acne, ACV is not going to solve anything. I'm doing much better on minocycline and retin-a.

Cons:

burns the throat a little

Did nothing but waste my money. I drank 2 tbs twice a day; i finished the whole bottle. I even got the unfiltered/organic/unpasteurized kind. TOTAL disappointment.
