| Pros | It cleared up my skin in no time Help you lose weight! The most effective product I've ever used |
|---|---|
| Cons | The taste is strong (if you are drinking it) And if you are applying it directly to your skin in doesn't smell very nice at all |
| Bottom line | ACV is a real miracle worker. I swear by it. I have seen it cure extremely severe skin conditions. I absolutely adore it. And it's not something you depend on. I started having acne was I was 13. I didn't discover ACV until I was 25. I started drinking it and in just a few weeks my skin cleared up. Now I don't drink it anymore and my skin is still fine. But I drink it. I tried applying it to my skin, but that didn't really work for me. |

| Pros | Clears up folliculitis, kills bacteria, VERY inexpensive. You don't have to buy some specialty, organic mumbo jumbo for this to work. Just go to the grocery store and get regular old vinegar or apple cider vinegar, nothing fancy. |
|---|---|
| Cons | Burns Can burn skin and leave it dark |
| Bottom line | I took the bad with the good here. Honestly, after taking Minocin gave me folliculitis, I couldn't figure out what to do to make it go away. Fortunately, my GP gave me Bactrim and I began putting apple cidar vinegar, and then later plain white distilled vinegar on my acne effected areas. It worked wonders!! I could see and feel the vinegar bubbling up and killing bacteria, and that sensation only lasted a few seconds. While it did kill off the bacteria with the help of Bactrim, it also left the acne and folliculitis effected areas darker, as if the skin was dead. But that was fine, because a week or so later, the skin was loose enough that I could just scrub it away and the skin underneath was like BRAND NEW, SOFT, CLEAR baby skin. The marks took a while to heal but my skin was def healthier. I tried drinking down ACV and that's just gross. I can't even shot the stuff....so I just applied it topically. My acne was once severe but now it is nonexistent, so I just put "very light" |

| Pros | best results achieved when you drink and apply acv dries up acne, but not overnight |
|---|---|
| Cons | smell, use only at night stings if used full strength. dilute. |
| Bottom line | im glad that i tried using braggs acv for my acne. synergistic effect is achieved when it is applied topically as astringent and when it is taken internally daily. it dries up acne, makes pores smaller and overall gives a glowy clear clean smooth face. |

| Pros | -inexpensive |
|---|---|
| Cons | -stinks -can sting a little |
| Bottom line | I started having some break outs on my chest. They were very small, tiny white little bumps. I'd read on here that ACV worked great on body acne, so I gave it a try. However, after a week of applying ACV straight from the bottle to my chest twice a day, I started breaking out like crazy. I have pretty fair, thin, sensitive skin and I'm guessing the acidity of the ACV irritated it.. Either way, I'm not putting that stuff on my chest again! Works great on my face though |

| Pros | All natural, refreshing, works great as a pH balancing toner. Can't beat the cost. |
|---|---|
| Cons | Smells like vinegar (but smell fades quickly), Slight sting especially on broken skin. |
| Bottom line | I use regular Great Value ACV diluted with green tea solution as a toner. I love it! You can splash it or dab it on with a cotton pad. It helps heal scarring and reduce redness from previous acne. I use in combination with Dan's 2.5% BP and OTC cleanser & moisturizer. I stay acne free for the most part this is a huge improvement for me considering I used to have huge cystic acne all over my face. Now it's more of an occasional little bump. Recipe: 1 cup boiling water, 2 green tea bags steeped for 20 min. 3 parts tea to 1 part ACV. |

| Pros | - Fades marks - Prevents new zits from forming - Cheap |
|---|---|
| Cons | - The smell slightly lingers on and makes the skin taste like vinegar. Ew. |
| Bottom line | My back cleared up alot from spraying this on, once a day. I do not use it on my face because it can be pretty drying. I dilute it with 50% water. |

| Pros | Absolutely wonderful Fades red marks Makes skin look lovely Cheap! |
|---|---|
| Cons | Smells a bit (you'll learn to love it when you see the results though!) Can make your eyes water |
| Bottom line | My Mum has been going on about apple cider vinegar for years. I just always thought it was that disgusting kitchen product that was forever turning up in the bathroom, oh how I was wrong! I use 50:50 water:ACV and it is by far my favourite 'beauty' product. I use it as a toner (usually only if I'm staying in because I get paranoid that people might think I smell of vinegar) It seems to be fading some annoying red marks I've had for what feels like forever quite quickly. It leaves your skin feeling very soft once dry (I don't wash it off, the smell does fade) and it gives skin that nice dewy glowey look we all crave! |

| Pros | Helps with redness |
|---|---|
| Cons | Itches like crazy! |
| Bottom line | I used this for a week topically by dabbing it on my shoulders, chest, and face and found the redness of my blemishes to go down. On top of that it itched like crazy on my chest and shoulders! Bottom line: not as good as I expected :( But don't give up! |

| Pros | smells horrible (but goes away in a few mins) unpleasant taste |
|---|---|
| Cons | natural, cheap and effective |
| Bottom line | Not everything works for everybody sense we're all different and have different body chemistry but it can't hurt to try it -- you might be pleasantly surprised. I'm a 30 year old black female and have suffered from ance breakouts since age 13. I've tried every acne product on the market and spent thousands of dollars on weekly spa facials. Nothing to this date has completely stopped new breakouts from happening but, I've been using BRAGGS ORGANIC ACV both INTERNALLY (2 teaspoons with 8 ounces of water twice a day) and EXTERNALLY (as a toner mixed with purified water) for going on 2 weeks and my complexion has never looked better. I'm glowing and I have had very minimal (one pimple on my brow line) breakout since starting my new regimen. I drink the AVC mixture first thing in the AM, I wash my face with DDF Blemish Foaming Cleanser, tone with my AVC mixture and then apply my mosturizer with sunscreen which, I've added a few drops of pure vitamin E oil to and repeat again in the evening. So far so good -- Wish me luck! |

| Pros | evens skin tone, gets rid of redness treats pimples. |
|---|---|
| Cons | smell, stings |
| Bottom line | This is the best toner you can use. I use apple cider vinegar. I dilute half of it with water and use a pad or cotton ball and apply it after I wash my face. I use to use it consistently for two years my skin was amazing, then I switched to lemon juice because of the smell and I was going out alot with guys, but my acne came back more when I stopped using acv toner. I'm using it again and I see a huge difference in my skin. |
