tan, australia Dec 17th, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Applying apple cider vinegar topically has cured the acne I had for 14 years. I think that says it all! Cons: The smell. But use it at night ansd no-one will notice. Bottom Line: This really works but you must be consistent. I use a small spray bottle and spray some undiluted vinegar onto a makeup removal pad. After I have washed my face in the shower using a face washer only I leave my face wet. I then wipe the pad over my face, a bit like a toner. If I don't have a wet face I dilute it a little. Initially I started off with it diluted so as to not shock my skin too much. I can't emphasize enough how great ACV is for your skin. It is also anti-aging as it keeps the circulation to your skin and is a chemical exfoliant. Not only do I have clear skin, but my skin glows now! I have tried everything in the past, the oral contraceptive pill, I have had 3 months of acupuncture and chinese herbs, 3 months seeing a natropath, I have tried tissue salts, all sorts of vitamins, I had food intolerances tested, I tried topical antibiotics, every acne cream, lotion and potion available. Apple cider vinegar is the only thing that has worked!!!!!!! Recommended: Yes Usage: tan has used this item for about a year. Price Paid: 5.00 Acne severity: moderately severe Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

Elena, Montpellier, France Dec 15th, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: - Natural and you can understand all the ingredients - Easy to purchase at your local market - Actually WORKS! No industry marketing here! Just plain results!! Cons: Yes, the scent is pretty strong, but it can be withstood. Don't let it get near your eyes!! It works well, like a peel but if your skin is sensitive, just use it at night diluted with some water and leave on for 10 minutes, not too much longer. Bottom Line: I have never had problem skin but now at the age of 28, I have just suffered from adult acne. I am not sure what induced it, changing hormones, exposure to too much sun, but the skin on my face was attacked by aggressive pimples that left red scars all over. I have sensitive skin and I tried some "natural products" and some medical topicals and salicylic acid treatments.. None worked. Now I am just washing my face with warm (not hot) water and Dove bar soap. Do not exfoliate or scrub with a towel because it will aggravate your skin more. Just use the circular motion of your fingertips when washing to lightly exfoliate. I have found that apple cider vinegar actually purges my clogged pores. It also acts as a peel, not an exfoliant, and has helped my scars disappear. I have not had any new pimples since I started the nightly applications, only the purging of the already existing ones. I really am so glad that this works for me! Recommended: Yes Usage: Elena has used this item for about a week. Price Paid: 4.00 Acne severity: moderately severe Was this comment helpful?

Jack, Philadelphia, PA Dec 1st, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: - (5%) Works instantly - itchiness/pain from zits immediately gone. size, visibility, frequency of zits reduced after a few days. - Doesn't really cause any uncomfortable side effects aside from stinging any broken skin - Cheap, easily availabl Cons: - Odor. Regular white vinegar has a less potent and shorter-lasting odor than apple cider, and works just as well. Can rinse off after 10-30 minutes and re-apply later. - Stings if you have any cuts (from shaving for example). no biggie Bottom Line: Costs almost nothing to try. - Rinse face with warm/hot water to open pores - Apply thin layer of vinegar with cotton ball (can dilute, personally had no probs with full 5%). Maybe try diluting with warm water to maximize pore penetration - Leave on for at least 10 mins. Apply twice a day (morn and night) if you rinse it off. Can leave it on all night if you want. Bottom line: There's no magic here; the acidity kills acne-forming bacteria. You're pickling your face. Recommended: Yes Usage: Jack has used this item for a few weeks.

Rob, Colorado Springs, CO Nov 15th, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Smooths skin very quickly, Cheap! Cons: The smell of it on my face burns my nose, but it goes away after about 2 minutes.. Bottom Line: I used apple cider vinegar to remove warts from the past ( because over the shelf products were ineffective) but i never imagined using it for my acne. It really does smooth out my face and i've really noticed the decreased amount of new acne forming. Recommended: Yes Usage: Rob has used this item for a few weeks.
