Pros:My skin feels really smooth, lighter, healthier, glowing, prevent breakouts, Reduce the oil, and CHEAP :)
Cons:Smells so strong, but I got used to it.
Bottom Line:This is the BEST treatment i've ever had. The result is AMAZING!
I used to have low self-esteem because of my acne problem. I have problem with acne since I was in middle school, now I am a junior in college, I tried so MANY different stuff, and nothing works. I went to at least 5 different dermatologists and still didn't work.
ACV is the answer. Now, I feel Great about my skin :) I use it before I go to bed and wash it in the morning. Everyone should give it a try!

Pros:Cheap and effective
Cons:Smell, burns if you use too high of a proportion of ACV to water
Bottom Line:I use a cotton ball to apply my 1/4 ACV 3/4 water mixture to my face at night. It has reduced but not eliminated my breakouts. I suspect that if I used it more consistently the results would be even better.
Recommended:Yes
Usage:Sunny has used this item for a few months.

Pros:Works quickly on breakouts
Helps with hyperpigmination.
Overall very impressive results.
Cons:The smell, but you get used to it. It also dries out your skin, so make sure you use a moisturizer along with it.
Bottom Line:I've been using it for about a week and a half and one side of my face is just about completely acne free, save for a pimple or two, which is a huge improvement. The other side has always been much worse, but it's definitely a work in progress thanks to this treatment. Thankfully, it's also been helping with the hyperpigmentation I get as a result from my breakouts.

(I dilute it with water and apply it to my entire face at night, let it soak in while I sleep, then wash it off in the morning.)

Pros:Affordable, natural, safe, easy
Cons:Smelly
Bottom Line:I am 30 years old and have suffered from acne since my teens. I've been using expensive Oracea, but I quit a few weeks ago and broke out horribly. I have been using this for 4 days, morning and night I apply it and just leave it on. It's too soon to tell how it will work in the long-term, but it's looking good so far! Oh, and I'm just using what we had in the cupboard, which is not organic.. if I go to buy more, I will buy the organic. I will keep updating every week or two!

Pros:- Fades scars (hyper pigmintation) & dries out pimples

Pros:inexpensive, natural, smooths out skin texture and tone..all around fantastic!
Cons:none! might dry skin out a bit..just be sure to moisturize!
Bottom Line:i have tried EVERYTHING over the years! i am 34 and i've battled with acne since i was about 12 or 13. i no longer want to take antibiotics, prescriptions or use harsh chemicals..i'm over it! i have been taking 50 mg of zinc, 2000 mg of fish oil, 1000-2000 mg of vitamin c, acidophilus, and vitamin b complex for about a month. i have been using braggs orgainc acv for about a week as a topical and it has been really wonderful! my complexion hasn't looked this good in years! i urge you to try it! be sure to use a oil free moisturizer as it may dry your skin out a bit! i wash with dermalogica clay cleanser and i have cut out dairy and sugar from my diet as well!

Pros:Quick results, cheap
Cons:awful smell
Bottom Line:After trying everything from Pro Active, DDF, and even Dermabrasion, I was ready to give up. I heard about AVC and how it helps prevent acne, so I decided to give it a shot. I bought "Bragg" since it had the most success stories. This stuff does not mess around. After 2 days I noticed a huge difference in my acne disappearing along with the redness. I did not dilute the AVC and applied it once in the morning and once at night after washing my face. Thank you Bragg!!!

Pros:Soft skin, fast results, smiles c:
Cons:The taste... but don't drink it!
Bottom Line:I've only been using it for about a three days, and I can already see some good results. I've gotten really tired of using all of those horrible factory-made cleansers and washes, because all of them I've used dry out my skin and make it look leathery and aged until it is removed (ex. benzoyl peroxide.)

I've been searching forever for a good way to clear up acne naturally, and in judgment of these reviews, I think I made have found one trustworthy enough ;)

Oh... and I sort of like the smell.
