ACV makes my skin so smooth its not even funny, in a good way ofcourse but i wouldn't say this really helps with my current acne but its still good and for the taste i could probably drink the whole thing in a day love the taste, good for giving me energy.

I've been using ACV for 2 nights when I go to bed. The smell is hard to handle. Is there anything that can be done for the smell? Also how long did it take for you to see results?

I use ACV, the cheap stuff from the grocery store, I've been using it for several months. I use it diluted to take off my makeup in the afternoon, and I let it sit for a half an hour or so before I shower.

My red marks are fading, but I really can't say whether it's because of the ACV or not.

Question! Must I leave the AVC mixture on for only 15-30 minutes and then wash it off?

Or is it safe to leave it on overnight or if I apply it in the morning throughout the whole day?

Just wondering.

I looked in my cupboard. I have 8% one... is this bad? Should I look for 5%? What brand do the aussies here use?

leave it on, no need to wash it off. most ppl do it at night since the smell is quite repulsive D:

What about during the day? Does the smell go away? I don't want my GF to find it a turn off when she is near me....

Thanks. Also, is it okay if I put my acne medicine on top? Or should I wash it off if I'm planning on still using my topical creams?

Thanks!

yeah, you can do it during the day, mid day, morning, night, etc. whenever you want. yeah, the smell goes away, give it like 10 mins and itll go away. its just more convenient to do it at night since you're going to sleep anyways.

yeah. its ok. a lot of people like to use acv as a toner, so yeah.

I've been using the ACV toner for about a week and it's caused me get flare ups; a ot of red acne bumps. I usually ALWAYS get cysts, but now I'm only getting these inflamed red bumps.

So is this a part of purging or not? Should I stick with it for about a month to see if it finally starts to get better?

Thanks!

I started to use ACV yesterday, and today I notice quite a few clogged pores/beginning acne! IS this normal?? Should I continue using it?

(I use Heinz, not diluted)

hey, let me just say thank you for this idea, it has worked great so far for me! but i was wondering if its ok to apply extra virgin olive oil about 10 mins after applying the ACV toner? thanks!

Does it need to be organic I have non organic..

This may be a ridiculous question, but does anyone know the PH of benzoyl peroxide?

I am starting ACV tonight in an attempt to reduce my red marks. I will take pictures of my progress and post back if i get any decent results.

I am noticing a lot of varying results posted on here, and have an observation some of you might find to be valuable. I am a nutritionist and am fairly well-versed on the subject of ACV. Aside from the fact that we are all biochemically unique, I think there may be an explanation for many of the negative/neutral reactions you may be experiencing.

Distilled ACV (heinz, etc) is a completely different substance from natural, raw ACV (Bragg). The distillation process destroys the beneficial enzymes and rich nutrient content of the vinegar, including potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, sulphur, iron, copper, and trace minerals. Also destroyed are natural malic and tartaric acids which are antibacterial, astringent, and, as I understand it, are the active ingredients in reducing the appearance of red marks (AHA). The minerals and enzymes may very well play a role in improving skin tone and quality also.

So, if you are looking to try ACV as a skin therapy, I highly recommend seeking out a raw, natural brand. Bragg is probably the largest producer of natural cider vinegar and can be found at any health food store, and online. If you aren't sure how to tell if it's raw, look at the consistency of the liquid. If it is very clear and uniform, it is probably distilled. Raw vinegar is cloudy and still has the "mother", a stringy mass of enzyme protein chains, this is the good stuff. It should be refrigerated after opening and used to make your toner in small amounts to maintain maxium potency.

I hope this helps some of you, I'll ost back soon with my results

This may be a ridiculous question, but does anyone know the PH of benzoyl peroxide?

every product is going to have a different pH, as benzoyl peroxide only makes up 2.5-10% of the gel. most products will probably be "pH balanced", which means in the 5-6 range, but it will vary from product to product. Your best bet is to buy some litmus paper (preferably 5.0-9 range)and test your own products if you are really curious

dilute it! please tell me you aren't using pure vinegar. to start out you should probably be using about 1/4 vinegar diluted into water. just like the regimen, you can slowly ramp up how much vinegar is in your solution.

in my experience, it didn't matter when kind of vinegar i used. when i first started i would buy "name brands" but after a while, i started buying store brand.

can you use acv if you do the regimen? if so, when would you apply it?

i think this product is 50 50 if it works for u it would like a charm if it wont work for u dont bother really..

Alright, well for me ORGANIC apple cider vinegar is doing wonders for my nose acne (however small they are). I use to apply Heinz but realized that's filtered and crud, so switching to organic is (positively) different than the filtered stuff. Already my nose is dry and so are the little pimples. I can't wait to try it again tonight when I get home

Has anyone broken out after idn..2-3 days after using apple cider vinegar? Topically, of course.

Cuz i have. GRR!! idn if it's because of apple cider vinegar..or cuz i stopped using BP after unfortunate experience..or cuz i am eating tons of chocolate lately..? Well, not tons, but usually i dn't eat chocolate and in one week i ate two of them. althought i don't like chocolate.

(Happy New Year guys,,here it's only 5 hours left untill 2010!!! )

Apple Cider Vinegar worked for me!!!!!!

I had bad acne as a teen, but my acne problem went away and i do not know why i figure it is age. But at 21(how old i am now) i get a really aggressive outbreak, worse then any acne i ever had growing up. Nothing and i mean nothing worked for me period. I did it all folks no need to list it.

Well i may not know 100% why i began to break out, i am blaming a thyroid problem that developed that i am now addressing as the culprit.

But before i even began addressing that i started taking apple cider vinegar supplements from Kal, 2 at breakfast and 2 at dinner. I figure drinking organic unrefined real vinegar, (bragg makes a good one) would work better then taking the supplements but i cant stomach that.

everyday my skin got more and more clear! i went from have huge painful bumps under the skin and above, to tiny little remnants of them. I have been getting progressively better and better. I still have some small, and i mean small bumps here and there very normal, and manageable, plus at the rate im going they will dissipate shortly.

The only other thing i have been doing is taking L-Tyrosine, and some multi amino acid complexes. what role they play in the acne clear up i do not know, but they can be helpful. i do know that before i started taking the amino acids my skin was clearing from the ACV, so i assume thats what helped my skin, but if that fails try the amino acids, its one or the other that has helped! I really hope this info helps someone, i was never more angry and upset then when i recently got those huge painful acne pimples! i want to cry just remembering.

Namaste! - Sheree
