*Rebecca* 2 Posted August 17, 2006 ihatefriggenacne - your ACV is like everyone else's and i dont think there is an exp. date and if there is i doubt it would take you like 2 years to use it up. Vinegar is old wine.. and does wine expire? No. kingofthecock - it wont harm your skin to leave it on over night in fact ACV will help heal your skin faster seeing as it has alpha hydroxy acids in it and it neutralizes your skin .. so at night your skin won't work as hard. So my suggestion for best results leave it on, dont wash it off. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

*Rebecca* 2 Posted August 17, 2006 Are you diluting it? I either dilue 50/50 or put it on full strength and my face never turns red. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ihatefriggenacne 0 Posted August 17, 2006 ok so last night i cleansed then put on acv then put on BP....and OMG in the morning...my face was 65% less oily then usual....its smells really bad...but the smell goes away after a while...im gonna start using this stuff during the day/afternoon/night...and hope that no one can smell it =) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
*Rebecca* 2 Posted August 17, 2006 i think the smell goes away after while and i think someone would have to be basically kissing you to smell it. Amazing isn't it .. how this is actually helping wiht oily skin. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mimi_x 0 Posted August 17, 2006 If it helps for everyting else, do you think it will help for large pores and blackheads? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grapesrgood 0 Posted August 17, 2006 does anyone else use baking soda before putting on acv? is baking soda essential or do i not need to use it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cucumber 0 Posted August 18, 2006 does anyone else use baking soda before putting on acv? is baking soda essential or do i not need to use it? you don't need to use the baking soda. about the blackheads- i'm seeing if that's gonna work. cuz i have soo many blackheads, but if ACV inhibits overproduction of oil (which causes the blackheads)... then shouldn't they go away? *crosses fingers*... THAT sounds too good to be true though. my blackheads are some tough fighters. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
*Rebecca* 2 Posted August 18, 2006 If it helps for everyting else, do you think it will help for large pores and blackheads? I would love for it to reduce poire size .. i think i notice a small difference but it has only been three weeks things could drastically chnage in 3 months, heck in 3months i may not have any red marks at all and not black heads or hardly oily skin.

YOURESORAD 0 Posted August 18, 2006 GOT SOME TODAY GONNA GO 50/50 tonight and stick with it! Wish me luck!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YOURESORAD 0 Posted August 18, 2006 PS Mine is 'diluted with water to 5% acidity'. Should I still go 50/50 water? Also, can you explain a little what the asprin does? I'm so over spending so much money on acne products, I'm willing to try this for awhiel!!!!! Thanks so much Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ana86 0 Posted August 18, 2006 PS Mine is 'diluted with water to 5% acidity'. Should I still go 50/50 water? Also, can you explain a little what the asprin does? I'm so over spending so much money on acne products, I'm willing to try this for awhiel!!!!! Thanks so much all types of ACV are 5% acid so don't worry about that. You should dilute it with water (50/50). Some people use plain ACV but your skin may not cope with that so it's better if you dillute it with water. About aspirin. It's actually salycilic acid, which you can find in many acne products. It basically unclogs pores and is antibacterial. So you may put a few aspirins in your ACV toner.

*Rebecca* 2 Posted August 18, 2006 Even though it is diluted it can still sting and the smell is strong so stick with 50/50 for now then when u get use to it add more or just use full strength. I read that putting two aspirin in your ACV Toner helps dry up the acne bc aspirin is essentially Salicylic Acid. So not only will you be getting the benefits of ACV but of salicylic acid too which is also exfoliates the skin (beta hydroxy acid). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jack's Wasted Life 0 Posted August 18, 2006 I have not tried this, but from my research on apple cider vinegar, I know it can be highly acidic. If you are concerned with that, you may want to try diluting it with a pinch of baking soda (sodium bicarbonate), because it will help balance the pH with alkaline. I'm trying straight 5% apple cider vinegar via cotton ball 2-3 times a day for now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
*Rebecca* 2 Posted August 18, 2006 be careful oif you've never used this bc it might sting a bit. Also ACV will balance your skins pH bc most products we use on our face are alkaline .. i never read anything about using baking soda with this like to "dilute" it.

wishiwaspretty 0 Posted August 18, 2006 Hi Everyone, I tried Apple Cider Vinegar last night for the first time. I have to say I'm impressed already. Although I didn't notice any less oiliness this morning on my face, a persistant zit that I have been battling for 3 weeks went down significantly!!! Just last night it was still painful to touch, now it's still red but flat!!! Yay!!! I used straight 5% ACV with a cotton ball before I went to bed. The smell didn't bother me too much (it reminded me of french fries LOL), however my eyes were stinging a bit from the smell. For now, I'm just going to use it before bed, then maybe I'll work up to doing it 2 or 3 times a day. Has anyone noticed an improvement on shallow scars?
