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!
Recommended:Yes

Pros:- Fades scars (hyper pigmintation) & dries out pimples
Cons:None but it MIGHT irritate some skin types
Bottom Line:I basically dilute apple cider vinegar with water (no green tea) and apply to my face after cleansing.
After using this once I already noticed how better my skin was looking.

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.

Pros:It actually works. I'm not even drinking it (can't stand the taste), just using it topically every night before bed.
Cons:Stinks
Bottom Line:I was surprised. I was using non organic ACV for a week and it seemed to do nothing. But I bought a bottle of braggs organic ACV since it was only $4, nothing to lose. And after 2 days of using it, I went from 15 so pimples down to 3 now. Again, I was surprised. Stuff's so cheap, and it by far beats the hundreds of products that I've tried and spend hundreds on.

Pros:Prevented acne completely. It is the only thing that has ever made pimples actually stop "growing" and disappear.
Cons:the smell...you can't really notice it once it dries, but people have been able to smell it on me once they got close...like REALLY close. It also burns a little when you put it on your skin...make sure to dilute it...trust me I learned the hard way
Bottom Line:works great, the smell is really not that bad
