| Pros: | I'll let you know in another week or so, if there are. |
| Cons: | ....it doesn't work? |
| Bottom Line: | Reading all these reviews on here really upsets me; I REALLY REALLY wanted this to work. I went out and bought a small bottle of the Bragg Apple Cider Vinegar, and worked it into my regime as a toner. The claims that in 24 hours you'll have better skin is complete BS, sorry. Me? I got an even WORSE breakout. For awhile, I wasn't really having any new pimples, just old ones and red marks that would NEVER go away. The morning after I started using ACV, i got 5 new pimples all in one area. I now have pretty bad inflammatory acne along my jawline and it seems more red marks scattered about my left cheek.
People tell me "it gets worse before it gets better," and while that doesn't really make ANY sense to me, I'm gritting my teeth and sticking with it for another two weeks or so. Who knows, I may be back eating my words, but I doubt it. I've pretty much given up on the thought of ever having nice skin. |

| Pros: | shrinking and fading my hyperpigmentation
prevented new break outs |
| Cons: | smell, but it doesn't last. I live with my boyfriend and he doesn't even know I use it. |
| Bottom Line: | this seems to be working really well for me so far. I'm 21 and have had acne for about ten years. It started to get really bad when I went to college so I started taking all sorts of antibiotics. I recently stopped taking them because I felt they weren't working anymore, my acne wasn't at its worst, but I was still breaking out. I've been using ACV as a toner for about two weeks and my skin is as clear as its been since i was a kid! It's helping me to fade red marks too, which is what I really want since mine last forever. I get redmarks even when I don't pick at all! Sometimes I use it as a toner and put bio oil on after, which is a really great combination for fading marks for me, but if I put on bio oil too much it makes me break out. |

| Pros: | Diminishes zits fast |
| Cons: | Dries out skin where there are no acne.
Smell |
| Bottom Line: | I had awfully painful cysts on my jawline that popped out of nowhere. They had been there for weeks making me extremely self conscious. I was using acne meds on them but it did nothing but make the area flake. I read somewhere that vinegar works so I tried, having nothing to lose. I applied it directly without diluting it and the pimples started to turn into white-skin lumps. I left it on for a few minutes then washed it off. The next day, most of my cysts disappeared to a few very faint scars. Better than giant red lumps! The ones that were left who significantly reduced and were gone in a few days. I don't recommend applying it all over because it really does dry out skin--don't want to dry out where there aren't any zits! |

| Pros: | Organic apple cider vinegar cleared my break-up super fast. |
| Cons: | I'm no fan of the smell, I have to say. |
| Bottom Line: | I use organic apple cider vinegar each time I was my face - I dab some on, then rinse it off, dab in on, rinse it off again. I repeat this about four times so it's more like a toner. I had a nasty out-break of pimples on my forehead due to very hot weather (lots of sweating) and wearing mineral make-up that clogged my pores. So, I ditched that brand, started using Jane Iredale and the apple cider vinegar, and within a week I saw a real improvement. I now swear by it. |

| Pros: | Cheap |
| Cons: | Smell/taste |
| Bottom Line: | I recently picked up some ACV and have been using it topically as well as drinking a small amount daily. After a week i can see SOME results although nothing crazy.
I bought White House brand ACV and people are telling me that organic is much better. Does it really matter if i use organic? |

| Pros: | Less oil, better tone, dries out big zits, clears pores |
| Cons: | dryness, tightness, irritation (even when diluted), flaking, redness |
| Bottom Line: | the irritation caused problems. more zits in the long run i think.
I lOVE the smell lol.....but it just wasn't that great to use
however, I feel like it does have some excellent properties and I urge you to at least try it. |

| Pros: | Face is smoother and my tone is freaking AMAZING!
Cheap
Natural (I refuse to put anymore crap on my face) |
| Cons: | None |
| Bottom Line: | Wow. Just wow. I've had a recent breakout like no other. I had bad redness, bumps, cystic on face and under jawline. It's only day 3 using ACV as a toner (I drink 2 tbsp in my tea too) and my face has cleared up about 50%. It's not flawless but for day 3, I can't ask for more. I realize it's going to take time for my skin to heal with this nasty breakout/acne but I'm happy it's improving. My tone has evened out as well. I can't believe how well this works. It's Wednesday now and last weekend I was crying how bad my skin is. Now I'm happy as a clam and ready for the weekend! I pray this helps. I'm tired of lotions, potions and meds.
PS. I tried it all, topical and antibiotics. My derm recommended Accutane if the antibiotics don't work. No way. |

| Pros: | Skin is clearing, feeling of lightness |
| Cons: | None |
| Bottom Line: | I began drinking ACV when reading about all the health benefits it provides, and in the meantime noticed my skin began to clear. I am 30 yrs old and never had acne until I turned about 27. My chin would break out so bad it was embarrassing to leave the house and even go shopping, or go to work. I've tried many products as well, but nothing has worked as well as ACV. I just found this website and decided I will start using it as a toner as well. Can't hurt to double up! I will let you know how that goes.
PS., by drinking it, my digestion has gotten better, my stomach is never bloated, I feel lighter and I have more energy. This is a cure-all! |

| Pros: | Results were fast.I can see redmarlks and dark acne spots getti ligher. |
| Cons: | smell.but no big deal if it does the job. |
| Bottom Line: | braggs organic apple cider vinegar has put a smile on my face now when i look in the mirror. i can take confident cute pictures again!! I can see evryday how it lightens my red and dark acne spots left behind. i rarely break out and if I do, it clears up fast!**i soak the cotton ball in the opening of the bottle by tilting the liquid right on it and wet it lightly with sink water.I just tap the cotton ball on my face and easy as that im on my way to better looking skin. i do tis night and morning and use correcting face lotion to cover the smell. this acne correcting lotion has salycic acid and is bought from [link removed] this too is such a great product. |
