| Pros | Dries up the active acne right away!! Reduces the post acne red marks. Brightens the face!! |
|---|---|
| Cons | Smells bad, my boyfriend hates it when I put it on at night!!!!! Hasn't completely reduced the red marks, and I still have some trouble acne spots. Tastes bad. |
| Bottom line | I was having really bad acne on my cheeks and was waiting for my proactiv to arrive in the mail. I read about ACV online and decided it was worth a shot. I started with a 50% dilution and used as a toner after washing my face at night and in the morning. Within just a few days I noticed all the acne dried up!!!! It was also reducing the red marks!!! I am trying to take ACV orally but I do forget occasionally, and it tastes pretty bad, too. Make sure to brush your teeth after taking it as it is really bad for the enamel!! From what I have read online ACV is great for tons of ailments, not just acne, so taking it orally is a good idea. I would recommend it, as it definitely helped me out in a troubled time. |

| Pros | none |
|---|---|
| Cons | dried my face out really bad and gave me little burn marks on a few places on my face |
| Bottom line | I decided to try it when I heard all the hype about ACV. Well I used it for about a week and didn't notice anything spectacular. Then I started realizing there were a few places on my face where it looked like the ACV had eaten through me good skin. I only used it at night and I had it diluted to three parts water one part ACV. Maybe it works for some people but not me. |

| Pros | It seems to work well. Haven't had any new breakouts since starting it and old ones got smaller after a couple nights. |
|---|---|
| Cons | SMELLS BAD! it makes me gag and I can only use it at night. My husband thinks it smells too! And I go to the gym in the morning and if I didn't wash my fash enough I can smell it again when I start to get hot! |
| Bottom line | Although it stinks I didn't want to drink it and thought it was worth a couple bucks to try it. I have tried prescriptions, proactive, acne free......the list goes on. I have moderate acne on my chin and jawline. Nothing seemed to be working. It's annoying so I thought I would try some home remidies. This did shrink the excisitng pimples and red marks and I have gotten a couple new pimples but they are smaller and they respond quicker to this treatment. I am hoping that another couple weeks and it will be clear and I will try witch hazel as to maintain. Hopefully it wont smell as bad=) |

| Pros | Nothing. |
|---|---|
| Cons | Brings old acne back and starts up new spots. |
| Bottom line | Bottom line is not all treatments will work for you. This treatment may be good for some but this treatment only made my acne worse. I gave it 2 weeks, found the dilusion that was most agreeable with my skin, but really I am so mad that it brought back spots that were in my mind no longer trouble spots that I can not begin to tell ya- so I won't. This treatment is terrible... for my skin type. |

| Pros | reduces itching and swelling of dry skin, brings the infected pores to surface. Good for applying directly to painful red bumps. Diluted as an astringent. So far has cured part of my face from red corners of mouth, Dry eczema, and pustules. |
|---|---|
| Cons | It can sting a bit, hard to cover smell in public. And can cause your skin to look red in the areas it is affecting. However, if you let it heal and I add Amlactin for moisturizing, Can't miss a dose of that. Plus drink lots of H20. |
| Bottom line | Use it as a mouthwash, then brush. With Amlactin, it creates a PH level in the skin that discourages microbes from growing. It can help with warts/herpes, and perhaps you have HPV/HSV on your face. ACV will help that as well. Rosacea? it will still be red for a while but I've noticed my red patches shrink. Only been on it for 2 months and drastic improvements. I fill a clean sink with Hot water. Then just dump some organic ACV in the basin. I basically exfoliate circular, after rinsing hands with Hydrogen Pyroxide. That is also a good thing but can burn healthy tissue. Both need to be diluted. I add 100% ACV directly to specific bumps. I make sure it doesn't spread. Qtip. Some of the whiteheads turn more white. and the skin may crust but in a couple of days, the crust comes off and perfect skin underneath. Use it with Amlactin, it really works. My skin is smoother, and the redness is going away. Hopefully in 6 months I will be able to say that my acne/rosacea/eczema/d |

| Bottom line | Here's what I did to get rid of bacne: 1 cup strong green tea 1 cup apple cider vinegar 4 crushed aspirin Mix them together and put them in a spray bottle. Spray on yoru back and chest twice a day. It burns occassionally, and if you have sensitive skin put more green tea. Once a day in the shower I washed with Neutrogena Clear Body Wash. |

| Pros | none |
|---|---|
| Cons | Drinking vinegar, even if diluted, will chemically burn your throat, this damage cannot be reversed. It is therefore extremely harmful. |
| Bottom line | DO NOT DRINK VINEGAR! I have had acne since the age of 11, and have tried many products. I am not willing to take something that is detrimental to my health. If your looking for a natural treatment for acne, I reccomend lemon juice. It detoxifies your body and helps clear acne. Like all remedies, use this with caution, as it can dry your skin. If you drink vinegar or are planning to drink it, I urge you to stop. If you need proof go to [link removed] and research vinegar. There are no "natural cures" for acne. Acne can never be cured, however it can be treated and controlled. If you change your diet, excercise, and use safe treatments, you will look and feel your best. |

| Pros | Feels nice, reduces swelling/tightens pores very quickly, reduces redness and dries up blemishes over time. |
|---|---|
| Cons | I guess the smell, but that doesn't bother me and it goes away quickly. |
| Bottom line | I use ACV as a spot treatment for blemishes and as part of a toner mixture. I find that it reduces the swelling of spots (and if I've been naughty, it really helps improve the areas I've squeezed) and over a few days will dry up the blemish. I just apply neat with a Q-Tip twice a day. ACV is also part of my daily toner. I blend one part ACV, one part witch hazel, and 3 parts water. I apply with a cotton pad twice daily between cleansing with Cetaphil and moisturizing with Vitamin E Gel. Since starting with this toner, I've noticed my skin tone is more even/less blotchy, oil production seems to be regulated (I'm using 1 Clean and Clear Oil-Absorbing Sheet per day instead of 2) and a definite reduction in clogged pores. With this mixture, I get a little redness and some tingling on my forehead, but no burning or stinging, and the redness goes away as the toner dries. Mild vinegar smell fades too. For me, ACV is an excellent alternative to pricey and chemical- |

| Pros | It works better than over the counter treatments |
|---|---|
| Cons | The smell, it fades away though |
| Bottom line | My every night routine: I first wash my face with a scrub made of baking soda & water. I then use the ACV at half strength (mixed with water) with a cotton ball. Once a week, I will wear a mask made up of simply egg whites for 20 minutes. I used to have the worst acne, but my skin has been clear for the past year. I think the ACV even helped fade my old acne scars. |
