Pros Cheap
Works well
Easy to use
Cons Smells/Tastes bad
Can sting/burn if skin is sensitive
Burns eyes
Bottom line Great remedy. I've been using Bragg's ACV for about 5 days now and it's working miraculously. I use a 50/50 AVC/water mix on my face after washing in the place of a toner, then I moisturize with a moiturizer containing Jojoba oil and aloe vera. I've also been taking about 2 tablespoons daily mixed with some type of juice or water. Overall...I've seen a major improvement and I'm glad to have come across this site or I never would have tried it. *Bragg's ACV doesn't taste as bad as some of the other brands, but it is still ACV none the less :-)

Pros -Clears up current acne
-Fades red marks
-Makes skin less oily
Cons Smells a little bad but if you moisturize after you don't notice. And who really cares if it clears up your skin!
Bottom line At first it made my skin a little worse, but I kept using it and after a few days my face really started to clear up. Even the red marks on my chin have started to fade. Out of everything I've tried this has worked the best...and it's cheap! I definitely recommend trying this, just make sure to dilute it.

Pros dried my severe acne in just 3 days, kills bacteria, very cheap and effective and improves your complextion in days
Cons Drying of the skin, a bit of peeling and smells..may burn for a while after applying. Try using an oil free moisturiser after washing off as excesive drying may occur
Bottom line using it in the night can be highly effective and would slightly dry your pimple and reduce inflammation. During the day, apply apple cider vinegar to affected area with a cotton pad and after 20 mins wash off and apply oil free moisturiser...
here r some tips
1. if using make-up look for oil free,water-base,wont clog pores and something with at least SPF 15 or use mineral make-up.
2.Also take two teaspoons of Apple Cider Vinegar mixed with quarter cup of water and drink it once daily in the morning.
3.i would also suggest drinking 8-10 glasses of water a day
4.eat heaps of fruits and veggies such as apples(2-3), Banana(1), strawberries(4-5),carrots(1-2), and a glass of tomato juice a day.
6) Have at least 8 hours of sleep and avoid rubbing ur face against your pillow , sleep on ur back
7) exfoliate skin every two days with a light exfoliater
8)try to avoide eating food with vegetable oil (such as processed food) eat more salads!
GOOD LUCK:)

Pros Helps to Clear acne over a short timeframe.
Gives a person better face coplextion.
Is really cheap, etc, etc.
Cons Others may be able to smell the vinger long after you believe it's gone.
At first makes acne appear to be worst then better.
Dries out skin if used UNDILUTED, leaving possible rahes.
Bottom line This product is useful when a person cannot afford to purchase thoughs highly overpriced fancy facial scrubs and topical creams.
Gets rid of most acne, although NEVER use undiluted or a rash will most likely occur after just a few uses.
Works by making your skin slightly drier (by soaking up the Sebum oil of face), killing most bateria that cause acne to develope and nicely removes dead skin cells still on your face leaving for a way better complextion.
At first use, this product has sings of improvement all over.
Although keep in mind that all acne treatments actually start off making your acne worse then before, this is in order to get rid of the acne not yet visible of the surface of your skin (such as Retiniods or Accutane, etc).

Pros Cleared existing acne quickly (within 48 hours), treated dry peeling skin from other products, left skin smoother and more refreshed. Used w/ witch hazel and jojoba oil for moisturizing. No more dry skin, acne and the acne marks are leaving!
Cons I don't mind the smell so much. Slight burning sensation, sort of like dermabrasion, disappears when rinsed off after 2-3 minutes. If I do get a flare up, I treat it overnight w/ a sulfur soap wash and aloe vera.
Bottom line I use it after washing my face w/ mild soap. I apply w/ a cotton ball, let sit on my face for 2-3 minutes, rinse w/ cool water, follow w/ witch hazel and a few drops of jojoba oil. I do this morning and night and have never been happier. My acne reappeared after the birth of my third son in 2005. I have tried everything that used to work, Proactiv, Clearasil, Neutrogena, Clinique, and everything in between; nothing seemed to help, it just made it worse or made my already sensitive skin dry and flaky. I got tired of painful, scabby, flaking skin and switched to all natural products. Now I am happier and satisfied with the results. I highly recommend trying ACV and Aloe vera. They're both available anywhere and are very inexpensive. I paid 4.50 for Braggs Organic Raw ACV and 2.83 for a 32 oz. bottle of AV. Try it!!!

Pros helps post acne marks disappear, dries pimples up overnight, makes your face have a nice glow, evens complextion, etc etc etc!!!
Cons the smell? but seriously, i'll use the worst smelling product in the world as long as my face improves.
Bottom line i have had on and off mild/severe acne for about a year and a half. i've tried EVERYTHING OTC... clinique 3-step system, drugstore medications, etc. i was just about to give up and finalllllly go see a dermatologist, but before i did, i decided to look at some homemade, natural remedies. ohhh thank god. i've only been using ACV for a week very consistently (am, and pm after a mild soap) and already my face is sooo much better! i can even see some older red marks start to disappear completely! i'm serious, try this right away. (not sure if it matters- but i decided to only use BRAGG's... organic. i didn't want anymore unnatural chemicals being put onto my face.)

Pros Works for some people, I guess
Cons Redness, dryness, itching, severe skin damage in some places
Bottom line TEST this product on a small area before you use it. My skin reacted very badly to ACV -- I developed a rash that turned into a crust of dead skin... definitely not a 'fix' for my acne. Taken internally, tastes horrible and causes acid reflux. Exercise caution! Consult a naturopath before you use this product.
