Donna, Phoenix, AZ Jan 21st, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Super cheap, works better than anything else out there. Cons: Vapor sometimes stings the eyes, make sure you dilute with water 50/50. Bottom Line: This stuff really works. I've been using proactiv for 10 years and not only is it expensive, my acne kept coming back. I've been using raw apple cider vinegar diluted with water as an astringent for about 10 months now. I noticed a difference within a few days. I've stopped using proactiv now and only use ACV on my face. When I see early signs of acne, I dab a few drops on a small piece of tissue paper and put it on my face twice a day. It's usually gone the next day. Works everytime. Proactiv never did that for me. Scars also lighten and vanish in a few months. Best part, it only costs $2.85 a bottle. I also drink one tablespoon a day with a glass of water. Doesn't taste good but it cured my constipation in a few days. ACV rocks. Recommended: Yes Usage: Donna has used this item for a few months.

Thandar Aye, Irvine, CA Jan 20th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: cheap and works Cons: it stinks, of course Bottom Line: It stopped my un curable break-out that starts when i was about 15. it doesnt seem to help with my red acne scars from previous acnes, but bottom line is that I dont have any new break out since I used ACV as a toner.

Billie Jan 19th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Works fast, doesn't dry, makes skin bright, removes post acne marks Cons: Smell? I can tolerate it though. Bottom Line: I have had acne for about six years! All throughout the years I've used so many products. (differin, clearasil, proactiv...etc) Yes, there have been times where my acne had gone down but it flares back and leaves scars! (Ewww, and dry skin) BUT... I have been using ACV for about three days and it's done what differin does in a month! I had a huge red blotched scar from picking my face and its pretty much gone. I had pimples that disappeared over night...and no dry skin. My face feels so smooth and that it's really becoming beautiful for once. This stuff rocks! I recommend trying it. You have nothing to lose. Recommended: Yes Usage: Billie has used this item for a day or two. Acne severity: moderate Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

Anonymous, australia Jan 18th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: cheaper, no harsh chemicals, works! Cons: smell and taste Bottom Line: im willing to smell bad cuz it only last for a second, anything for clearer skin! i have hormonal acne around chin and i have been using ACV for a week as a "dab on the chin" 2 times a day and 5ml 2 times a day orally. and my skin has never looked better, even people are starting to notice! cant wait to see it in another week!

Sarah, Melbourne, Aust Jan 16th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: It actually makes a difference! Cons: If I had to say anything, the smell, but it's really not that bad and it doesn't hang around very long. Bottom Line: I've had moderate acne for about 10 years (I'm 28) and I've tried everything possible. All sorts of face wash regimes, medications from Dr's and Dermatolagists, all making no difference at all. I'm about to finish 6 months of Doxy with nil results. About a week ago, I was becoming desperate for something to help me and started googling everything I could about acne. I read a couple of reviews about Apple Cider. I had nothing to loose. I've been using it as a toner and drinking about 5ml morning and night. In the first couple of days I actually noticed a REAL difference. My face isn't nearly as red and I don't have any new spots. I hope from here it continues to improve. I can't recommend enough to try this. Normally I wouldn't leave reviews but this has made a real difference for me, and I hope that it can for others. I'm crossing my fingers that this continues to work for me, because after drinking vinegar, I'm not sure what else there is left to do fo Recommended: Yes Usage: Sarah has used this item for about a week.

Thomas, Denver, CO Jan 16th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: I'm a college student so I need something cheap that works. This is that item. I've only used it once and I can already see an improvement. My skin is taking on the tone I remember having when I was about eleven. This stuff is awesome. Cons: .......? Some people don't like the smell but I don't mind. No cons. This stuff is great. Warning: I put it on without watering it down and it made my face RED! It went away but just be careful. Your skin is delicate, especially if it's sensitive. Bottom Line: Try it. Try it. Try it. It's so cheap so even if it doesn't work for you, just put it on a salad! I love this stuff. I'm confident that if I use this regularly, I'll have the best skin I've had in years. I'm so excited. I finally found a solution to my acne problem after about nine years of just putting up with it. The problem I have is that my skin is fair since I'm Celtic and Germanic so my acne itself doesn't last long, but the coloring does. This stuff corrects that, dare I say even reverses it. Again, careful if your skin is sensitive like mine. Don't overdo it. Try mixing with water to make it less potent if you can't handle the basic 5% vinegar content.

spotty, uk Jan 13th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: terrific toner; lightens marks; antiseptic Cons: smell (who cares) Bottom Line: Normally I don't write anything on these forums unless I have tried something for at least a few weeks or even months. This time, however, I can jump the gun and recommend this. I have been using this stuff (50-50 water dillution) for a week and it has really made my skin look better. Does it clear acne all by itself? I really doubt it. still, this complements other things I think and if it doesn't irritate you (if it does, dilute more), why not? It is very cheap and easy to use.

Ebony, New Zealand Jan 11th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Skin clears quickly, cheap, great for general health, lightens red blemish pigmentation and scars...best remedy yet, after 6 years of suffering from acne!!! Also tastes great as a beverage (2 tsps mixed in hot/warm water). Cons: Can sting skin and eyes when applied topically, husband complains of the smell :-) Bottom Line: I've suffered from acne for 6 years now, when it developed in my teen years. I've tried everything, from prescription antibiotics, to salicyclic acid/differn gel, to change in diet, the pill, and drinking litres of water...but to no avail! Came across articles of the benefits of Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) recently and decided to give it a try. After taking 2tsp of vinegar mixed in warm water 3x daily, and apply topically each night with cotton swab, I found within several days my skin was clearing. My skin did flare up again after a week, but I found having sensitive skin meant the vinegar was very drying. So I applied the ACV to my face every few days while moisturising with "Bio Oil" in between, and continued drinking ACV 3 times a day. After about 1 1/2 months my skin is so clear, with only a few spots every now and then. I have a healthy glow, smooth lightened skin, bright eyes, hair is in fantastic condition, and I have more energy than I ever had! A complete miracle!

venus, washingon dc Jan 9th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: NATURAL, not harsh, cheap, rids of acne, clears up red marks, keeps skin balanced so not dry or oily. Cons: smell Bottom Line: ive been using differin for the last few months (along with previous acne treatments minus accutane) but still did not get rid of all my acne (esp under he jawline). ive been using organic apple cider vinegar as a toner for the last few weeks and it has really improved the condition of my skin. my skin is smoother, acne has really died down, and scars are fading. also, ive reduced by differin application to every other day. i am hoping to reduce it more and more in the future, hopefully i can eventually rid of my acne naturally. also, my skin appears more healthy and flushed, has a nice peaches and cream tone to it, which it never had before. at first, i just applied vinegar straight right after showering so it was diluted along with my wet face. recently, i made a toner with 40% vinegar 40% spring water and 20% toner, which helps rid of the smell. ALSO, ive been using baking soda as a face scrub every night, which seems help. i have very high hopes for my vinegar toner! Recommended: Yes Usage: venus has used this item for a few weeks.

Daveoh Jan 8th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Works well for helping to reduce existing pimples, seems to help prevent new ones, skin feels softer and reduces redness. Cons: The smell. Bottom Line: Been using this for a few weeks, and I'm pleasantly surprised. I use Bragg's Organic Apple Cider Vinegar, diluted to 50%. The smell doesn't last too long fortunately. After showering, I use a cotton ball soaked with it to gently cleanse. Recommended: Yes Usage: Daveoh has used this item for a few weeks.
