| Pros | I recently had a bad breakout (hormonally related) and the vinegar has worked wonders. My dermatologist tried several medications (doxycycline, Differin, benzamycin, new BCP) but the vinegar is what works! |
|---|---|
| Cons | It did not work overnight for me as some have claimed. Give it some time if it doesn't work right away. Took me about two weeks before things really started clearing up. |
| Bottom line | Give it a shot! My acne was somewhat severe and it works. If it doesn't work out, you only spent a few bucks, anyway. Be sure to mix it 50-50 with water so it doesn't burn. I used to drink it too, but it bothered my stomach. I think just applying it topically does the trick. Good luck everyone. |

| Pros | I used it for the first time last night and 2 zits are gone. |
|---|---|
| Cons | The smell gets mildly nauseating after a bit but small price to pay.. |
| Bottom line | I literally read about this around 8 pm last night, around 9 walked two blocks to the store, bought Bragg’s apple cider vinegar (unfiltered and organic) and then came home and used it as a toner. I was going to take a shower later on, but wanted to jump start the process. I washed my face, let it dry and then soaked a cotton ball in the acv and applied gently to my face in a thin layer. Three hours later I took a shower and rinsed my face – no soap – and then when I got out, while my pores were still open, I applied the acv as a spot treatment, let that sit for like 20 minutes and then applied the regimen amount of BP. I woke up and two of my cysts that I’ve had for a month are completely gone, and this really painful cyst I have on my cheek has gone down by about a 1/3 and is way less red. I’ve used this for like 12 hours and I’m in love. I also drink it, 2 tsp three times a day. I mix it with the POM brand pomegranate and blackberry tea – can’t ev |

| Pros | No new pimples the next day Evened complexion out Feels good on the skin |
|---|---|
| Cons | Smells like vinegar (well what would u expect) |
| Bottom line | Good stuff, Read a lot of reviews then bought and tried, I would recommend it as its cheap, easy and seems to work so far, I dunno what y'all are on about with diluting it though, I use it full strength as a toner all over my face, it did not make my face red and only stung for a second, also my face didn't feel any dryer the next morning, Suck it up and try it without water, I don't see why anyone would have to dilute it 1/10 or even 1/1 for christs sake. |

| Pros | Helps restore tone and greatly lessens acne |
|---|---|
| Cons | Just the taste but if you mix it with lemon juice and water it isn't too bad. |
| Bottom line | This really helped me a lot. Months ago my skin was red and had lost it's tone, after using apple cider vinegar my tone came back and my acne lessened a lot. I was drinking about a tablespoon a day as well as applying it topically. Use the braggs kind because it is unpasturized and organic and seems to really get into the skin. I had been dealing with acne for about four years and this was the only thing that made a breakthrough. Don't spend tons of money on chemical products that are don't do anything! I have found that using ACV, as well as lerosett swedish clay mask to rid my pores of the left over stuff and tamanu oil for my small scars has my face acne free, all that is left are a few dark spots which the tamanu oil is really taking care of. |

| Pros | Cheap and it really works. I think it give my skin a nice glow |
|---|---|
| Cons | Smell and taste |
| Bottom line | I have bad side effect using benzoyl peroxide so i can't use Dan's regimen. I managed to found my acne cure in this forum. That's using apple cider vinegar as a drink and a topical. I drink and apply it twice a day. I have done up a blog [link removed] with 20 days of pictures of my acne condition. This treatment is rather tedious but it really works. I have to continue the treatment even after my acne clear up. |

| Pros | Quick, easy, effective, cheap |
|---|---|
| Cons | None |
| Bottom line | I use pure White Vinegar on my face. While not completely clearing it up it sure as hell works just as well as salycic acid spot treatment cream. I put some in a cup and pour it on both sides of my face. While not fantastic it does the same job as salycic acid if not better. Have only tried this for a couple weeks on and off but it works. I imagine continued use will erase 90% of my acne. |

| Pros | -WORKS -Cleared up my skin w/in 1 week -Haven't broken out in the 3 weeks I've been using it, except for when I got my period and got 1 breakout |
|---|---|
| Cons | -You have to get used to the smell |
| Bottom line | I used it twice a day, as a toner. I'd pour a little bit into a cup, then mix with the same amount of water, and dab it all over my face like a toner, then moisterize. Do this morning and night. Make SURE you get the ORGANIC kind. It smells better and contains more of the natural ingrediants that aren't filtered out. I also drank it- which has helped alot too. I drink 2 tsp 3 times a day, mixed with orange juice. At first, I had 7-8 breakouts on my face at once, within 1 week, existing breakouts cleared, within 3 weeks, all were gone, and red marks are fading slowly. Definately would recommend it. It's a miracle lol |

| Pros | made skin look and feel smoother... |
|---|---|
| Cons | ...at first my face went all red and blotchy...i panicked and put lots of cold water on my skin and some aloe vera...now, after about an hour it's all fine and prettyful :) (however, that may have been down to the aloe) |
| Bottom line | try it, but dilute it (to make sure you don't get the same reaction as me)...if you do go red just put something calming on it and wait, it'll even out nicely eventually :) ...i think i'll be using it again, but diluted this time... |
