| Pros | fades acne spots, heals persistent cysts and pimples, and most importantly, STOPS ACNE FROM COMING BACK! and it's about 70 cents a bottle :-) |
|---|---|
| Cons | bad smell. but whatever, it works! |
| Bottom line | THE ONLY THING THAT'S EVER WORKED FOR ME. I had bacne for 5 years before discovering apple cider vinegar. None of the expensive over-the-counter stuff worked, and when i tried ACV, it was a miracle. I just put it on my back, chest, and shoulders and let it sit for a few minutes before washing it off in the shower. The results have been awesome...my back is almost completely clear, and I only get a break-out when I don't get a chance to use the vinegar for a few days. GIVE THIS A TRY ON TOUGH ACNE! |

| Pros | Works very quickly, affordable, gets rid of red spots, tightens pores, dries out zits, can bring zits to a head, improves complexion, etc, etc, etc! |
|---|---|
| Cons | Smells bad, burns a little. (cons, there hardly are any!) |
| Bottom line | MIRACLE! My derm. prescribed Ziana, and it made my moderate surface acne very severe after just one night of using it!! I felt so horrible about my face. I had taken numerous antibiotics (excluding accutane). I had also tried OTC acne treatments, which didn't really work well. THEN.. today, out of desperation I tried applying Apple Cider Vinegar topically, and it INSTANTLY reduced redness and dried out my zits AND made my face smooth. I am so impressed with the results, I feel compelled to write this review. I think I can go out of the house tomorrow without hiding my face.. it works that well.. |

| Pros | Very cheap, dries up skin just enough, has healed a large cystic pimple that was on my chin for WEEKS in just a week. I don't mind the smell :p |
|---|---|
| Cons | No real cons that I can see. I know other people don't like the smell, but try using aloe vera gel after applying the vinegar. Works like a charm and I've had cystic acne for years! |
| Bottom line | Great product, use DILUTED. If you use it undiluted you're asking for irritation; possibly a burn. |

| Pros | Works almost instantly, dries up acne fast, reduces redness in the face, affordable |
|---|---|
| Cons | smells bad, leaves bad aftertaste, may not suit all skin types! |
| Bottom line | Lately, my skin complexion has not been as bad with acne as it was when i was back in high school. my skin has its good days and bad days with acne flare-ups. I also have very mild rosacea mostly on the cheeks, which at times seems to worsen and at other times seems to get better. I have been taking a vast number of meds/creams, including tetracycline. the meds reduce the amount of acne/roseacea but only for a few days until my body gets used to the effect i guess. I started using apple cider vinegar about a week ago, and all i have to say is that it is BY FAR ONE OF THE BEST RECOMMENDATIONS I HAVE TAKEN to improve my acne and rosacea!! at first i was hesitant to try it fearing that it might worsen my condition. I am now taking 6 tablespoons daily (mixed with water of course) and i started noticing improvements on the 2nd night of using ACV. It has worked miracles! i barely get any more acne pimples, and my rosacea has cleared up drastically! Thanks to everyone who recommended it! |

| Pros | Acne hasn't gotten worse, which is good!! |
|---|---|
| Cons | Smell, but I can tolerate it if it works! |
| Bottom line | My face has stabalized, not worse, not better. That's good I guess. I've only been using it for 5 days, so I am definitely going to give it more time. I take 2 tbls in the AM and 2 tbls in the PM (about 4:00 pm, before dinner). I like it mixed with apple juice (tastes like apple cider then), grape juice, ginger ale, but I like it best with grape pop!! Try it! You can't taste the vinegar at all! I use it topically morning and night. Once it dries you can't smell a thing. It doesn't make my face dry at all, and sluffs away the dead skin cells. I would highly recommend giving it a try. I have tried NUMEROUS prescription topicals, plus oral antibiotics with absolutely no luck. So stable is better than worse! |

| Pros | Quickly got rid of redness, existing pimples, and pimples that were just beginning to show before they really could. |
|---|---|
| Cons | ACV has a pretty awful smell, even when diluted. To keep from inflicting the odour on other people, I put it on my face at night, a few hours before bedtime, then again right after my shower in the morning, and gently washed my face before going out. |
| Bottom line | As a teenager, I had a clear, peaches and cream complexion. I'm 25 now, and about a year and a half ago, I developed rosacea. I've tried all kinds of crap (medications and moisturisers) for it, and nothing worked. I even cut bangs just to hide my forehead. Within a week of starting to use apple cider vinegar (mixed on a 1:6 ratio with water), I have no new pimples, all of the existing ones are almost completely healed, and the redness is going away. It may not be for everyone or every skin type, but it's worked wonderfully for me. |

| Pros | it takes the red out of thoes painful swollen pimples, its cheap! |
|---|---|
| Cons | smells absolutely terrible |
| Bottom line | i had one of thoes "stick out the side of your face" pimples today and i came home and put a warm washcloth on the spot and popped it (then it was swollen) but after that i put some of the ACV just on the spot and it is now completly flat and its not red and painful anymore. Also, i used this as a drink for a week or more and it kept me 100% clear, the only problem was i stopped using it because its kind of a pain but then all my breakouts came back. I would recomend taking 1 tbs in the morning and 1 tbs at night mixed with juice i believe it helps prevent break outs MAKE SURE ITS BRAGG'S ORGANIC APPLE CIDER VINIGAR |

| Pros | none |
|---|---|
| Cons | smell, burned skin |
| Bottom line | Smells awful, burned my skin (however I did apply it undiluted which probably wasn't smart). I have very sensitive skin, and about 1 minute after applying ACV my skin turned bright red and tender. i rinsed and thankfully the redness subsided in a few minutes but I would not recommend this for sensitive skin. |
