Apple Cider Vinegar (as a drink)

ACV is a part of my routine in two ways. first, I drink a tablespoon in water every day, first thing waking up. Second, once a week I use Aztec Clay, and i'll mix half water half ACV with the powder. the ACV truly cleanses inside and out, and alkalinizes my body so my skin isn't so oily. It's been a godsend!

ACV is truly a miracle worker. I am over 40 and started to have acne after I had my last pregnancy. I guess my hormones were all over the place but it was bad. I went to a dermatologist for almost a year and I was but on an antibiotic for 6 months. That is not good. It cleared up my acne but once I stopped taking it, it came right back and full force. I never had acne like this. I decided to try ACV and it has been 7 months and I feel great and my skin is so clear. Now all I have to worry about are my wrinkles ;-) Seriously, ACV is great. I drink 16 oz every day with 4 tablespoons of ACV. OK, it doesn't taste very good but I am so use to it now and the smell is no big deal. I also cleanse my skin with it in the morning and night. The mix is 50/50 (water/ACV). A Cotton ball all over my face (I avoid eyes because who knows if it helps wrinkles too - I have to check that out). It is really an amazing product! I use it for cuts and abrasions, too! The only side effect was the first day I used it I was woken up at 3am and I couldn't leave the bathroom for a while. OK, I know that sounds horrible BUT it was cleaning my body out (detoxing) and I really think that is what I needed to get my body and face on the right track. It has never happened again, so I think I'm good to go ;0)

I checked on going to a dermatologist and getting pills for my acne, been breaking out quite a bit on my cheek and jaw area for a while now. Couldn't get a dermatologist (for some odd reason) but also didn't want to spend so much money just to see one. So I researched online and read where apple cider vinegar is a good home remedy for clear skin. Day 1, it was horrible!!! Nasty taste and almost puked when I drank 1 tablespoon diluted with water. Day 2, not as bad but still nasty! And so on, today is my 7th day of drinking ACV and every night before I go to bed, I'm popping over 5 blackheads and my acne is getting really clear. I'm going to drink this stuff for one more week and get back with you!!!

Drank 2 and a half tablespoons a day for 3 months and it really helped my acne and made my skin look really good. Stopped drinking it for 3 months and got some minor breakouts occuring in that peroid of time. Began the ACV again and the breakouts faded. It also helped my hyperpigmentatgion alot. I also notiched when I was of the ACV, when I shaved I would get a lot more red and irritated - when I went on ACV again it stopped. Just make sure to mix it with plenty of water and drink through a straw - and drink it slowly, drinking it too fast can irritate your stomach. I'll recommend this.

Bottom line you better be drinking this stuff its golden liquid!

I'm not going to claim that this will work for everyone, but for me it cleared acne completely when used consistently. When I drink about a tablespoon a day for a week straight, my acne clears up completely! But then I'll start slacking because my face is clear and I'll start to get a pimple, so I'll start taking it for a couple days straight and the pimple goes away. I would highly recommend using it.

I've been having light breakouts on a very regular basis, and for someone who always had clear skin until about 2 years ago, this was a big deal. I did minoclycline (which worked, but I don't like taking antibiotics or much medication in general) and Epiduo. Cleared it up, but once I quit, acne came back. Just recently tried Proactiv. The regular strength tore my face up -- super dry and peeling. The gentle formula just didn't do anything. Don't spend all that $ on it, because it won't work. I recently found Apple Cider Vinegar, and within the 2 days I've been using it, it's dried up the pimples that I had. They're not gone by all means, but are on their way. I'm hoping that after a week of drinking it and applying it topically, I'll be seeing better results than I ever have in the 1.5 months of using Proactiv. Plus this is $7 for a big bottle of Braggs Organic ACV whereas you'll be spending $25+ on Proactiv's so-called miracle products. I had previously been using regular ACV and will now be trying the Organic ACV with the "mother" still in it. I'm mixing 2 tsp of ACV with 1 cup of water and drinking it 3x daily. This seems to be helping me because I feel like it's my hormones that are causing all the problems, and if it can be taken care of naturally, I'm all for it!

I'm 23 and have been on two courses of accutane, 1 of doxycycline, 1 of monocycline and a few other various forms of both topical and oral medications for acne. Ironically, I have never had severe acne and each medication cleared it up but after a couple months my acne would always return. Now that you understand more of what my acne was like and the lengths I went to cure it you should be able to relate to me if you are in a similar circumstance. I had given ACV a try once before and found no results. After some time I decided to try it again but this time both topically and orally with the right type of ACV (Bragg). After a couple of days my skin improved tremendously so much so that I began to tell my family members that it was the cure for me. In the last few days I have gotten a couple breakouts (nothing bad) but I am under the impression that they may have just being lying dormant before I began ACV. I highly recommend the use of this product. Regimen: Wash face with blackhead scrub. Apply 1:3 ACV with cotton swab to face and let dry. (Morning and night) Ingest ACV twice daily. (Combined total of 4 cap fulls from the bottle.) Short and sweet! Furthermore, combined with my above regimen I take a steady dose of daily vitamins as well as protein/creatine for any of those that might being similarly devoted to going to the gym the vitamins I take are: Fishoil B-complex Orange Triad Multi Glutamine Enzyme Digest (for protein breakdown) All of these are taken throughout the day. Do not take glutamine with protein. It causes putrification.

I've been taking apple cider vinegar for three days now, and my skin has gotten so much clearer already! The overall redness around my acne is down, my acne is drying out, and the swelling around my acne is GONE. My friends at college noticed and commented within 48 hours of me starting ACV treatment. I know that this site really stresses using "organic" ACV with "the mother" still in it. I'm going to play devil's advocate here and say that not only is that more expensive, but it's also completely unnecessary! I'm using price chopper brand, processed ACV and my skin is looking great! What the ACV really does is balance the pH of your skin, which it will do whether or not the product you use is wholly organic. I would recommend this to anyone with stress-related acne (this could be a result of hormone imbalance, which in turn can cause the pH within your skin to fluctuate, especially if you tend to stress-eat). Another upside to this product is that it keeps your appetite in check. If I have ACV to sip on during the day, I'm wayyyy less likely to grab those extra cookies. Finally, a word to anyone who really doesn't like the taste: I love tonic water, and if you mix 8 OZ of tonic water with a tablespoon of ACV, you can't taste the ACV at all. It's really helpful. Also, I've heard wonderful things about the use of ACV pills rather than drinking the liquid. While this is more expensive, it also eliminates the ick-factor for many people. Hope this helps, and I wish all of you luck with ACV!

my mom and I been drinking 2 table spoons of Apple cider Vinegar in a bottle of water. One in the morning and one at night, drinking with a straw, for it's bad for your teeth.Though it doesn't go to the gym for you. I would suggest the organic ACV and drink a bottle of water after you drink the one with ACV. Three days can break a habit but it takes a month to start one. You'll see results quickly!! But don't let it take over for exercising and eating healthy.
