Pros:

Inexpensive
um, it works. :)
easy

Cons:

none, really

Okay, I saw alot of comments saying the taste was UNBAREABLE. I guess I'm weird but, I really didn't mind the taste much at all. It was a bit strong though, like taking a shot of hard liqor or something, but really not bad. I can see using this everyday.

Pros:

clears acne
improves overall tone and texture of skin
weightloss
body detoxifier

Cons:

taste & smell

I read a lot of these reviews already and like myself, so many people complain about the taste and smell. I found a way to take it so that you dont really taste it all. Mix it in with apple juice! I swear you dont taste it all, but you do notice an increase in acidity of the apple juice so make sure you buy the low-acid kind so its not too bad, and make sure you drink through a straw so it doesnt hurt your teeth. To make it quicker sometimes, I just use a shotglass - fill a half with ACV and the rest with apple juice. Hope that helps get rid of some peoples cons. Also, I use ACV directly on my skin as well. Like a 75% ACV, 25% water mixture - works wonders.

Pros:

-Definitely has reduced my breakouts, in number and severity
-I'm pretty sure it stabilizes my blood sugar
-Inexpensive
-Natural

Cons:

-Tastes like the end of the world

Apple Cider Vinegar got me from unwilling to go out in public (from bad cystic acne at 23) to having a life. But I am not cured. I take a shot in the morning (chase it with lots of water) IMMEDIATELY before brushing my teeth in the morning and at night.

Pros:

Good for you in general
Significantly reduces acne
Prevents any new acne
Detoxifies skin
Relatively inexpensive

Cons:

Tastes awful
Possible damage to teeth
Has a tendency to make your skin "purge"

I'm already using prescription antibiotics and topicals to fight my acne. Though they worked wonders the first time, my acne came back (although not quite as severe as the first time). After reading about using ACV, I decided to give it a go. After a relatively short period of time, I'm already noticing a significant decrease of inflamed acne on my face. I take about 1-2 tablespoons diluted with a pint of water daily with a meal (though I have skipped a couple days). In addition, my antibiotic dosage was recently doubled, and I've been eating more carefully and taking multivitamins. It could simply be causal, but I think that everything's working in conjunction. There's no single "magic" remedy that's going to make your acne go away, I've found you need to control it properly through proper nutrition. I would strongly recommend ACV as a supplement to an existing acne treatment regimen.

i don't know yet

Cons:

none yet

im always looking up home remedies for things and ive read all of the ones on this website so when i was googeling around for a sore throat remedy i found one that said to drink vinegar with warm water and i remembered seeing vinegar on here and how everyone was freaking out about the taste soooo i wanted to share how i drank it because i kinda think it tastes good definately feels good but thats besides the point anyway i seeped a green tea bag in about 2/3 cup hot water added 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar and about 2 tablespoons of honey, delicious i think it being so warm distracts from it burning because it didnt burn at all

Pros:

Works wonders on my skin!! no more new pimples for the whole 2 weeks!!

Cons:

taste,smell and a lil bit pricey..

at first i was very skeptical about this ACV to works on my skin because i have a very sensitive skin.but i can see such a wonderful results in just 3DAYS!! my skin feel smoother,bumpier and shinier despite the marks still visible on my skin. i use green tea to dilute the ACV in ratio 3:1.green tea makes the ACV works more efficient, it helps to detoxifies our skin and it doesn't dries up the skin.you dont need to rinse this toner after applying it and it is wearable overnight.i also recommend to drink 2tbs of ACV with a glass of water and 3tbs of honey for a more consume-able taste.try this, it works on me yet i dont know if it works for you.beat 3-4 drops of ACV with egg white and use as a mask for 10mins.rinse with warm water and feel the instant softness.do this once to twice a week.GOOD LUCK!

Pros:

Clear up acne quickly,
skin feels great in general,
good skin sustains for long

Cons:

taste,
smell,
acidity is not good for teeth, so try to avoid the contact.

Just like Lucid from NC's Review. I had quite a bit of acne, not much but since I constantly have break outs I would have read blemishes and white heads everywhere. I tried so many drugstore products but they only seem to work temporarily. I heard that Bragg's ACV is good and IT IS, but it has to be BRAGG's!!! I take about 2 tea-spoon shots of the vinegar after my dinner and wash it down with a large load of water. This stuff stings my throat like acid. I think the thing about this product is that it help bringing the pH of our blood up to the right value (I assume, due to my diet I don't have the healthiest values). So my guess, if you're already healthy (from the inside) and still have acne, this product wouldn't do a thing to help. I also use the vinegar as a toner twice a week. I apply it directly, leave it for 10 mins and wash it off with cold water (I got this from some dermatologist's advice on Youtube). But after a couple of weeks I have no need to do it anymore. IT STUNG!!!! the RESULT: Within days I observe no more break outs, although blemishes were still clearly visible. The toner technique does help eliminating the breakouts but because of its acidity, I was a bit afraid to keep using it directly on my face. Around 2 weeks after, all the bumpy red blemishes start to become less severe and my skin starts to smooth out. now 4 months after. I feel like I am much healthier. I feel like I am in control of the acne. the down point is that the ACV tastes and smells really bad. I tend to intentionally forget to consume it. But it has to go on for more than a week until I start breaking out again. right now I only have to drink it once to twice a week to keep the balance going.

Pros:

Inexpensive, works quickly, helps general health

Cons:

Tastes horrible

I noticed a difference in my skin the day after I started drinking ACV. Before I started, my skin was dry and very sensitive, but the ACV dried up my oily skin and acne from the inside out. I've only been using it for five days, but I've had my severe acne get much better. I hope the results continue to make my acne get better and better. I take one tablespoon with each meal. I dilute it in about a cup of water. It helps me to hold my nose while I drink it and (while still holding my nose) wash it down with a lot of water. If you're suffering, give it a try. It's cheap, and it worked for me.

Pros:

cheap, works temporarily

Cons:

smelly, dries skin out, you get your hopes up for nothing

It worked for a week, drying out forming acne, but that's it- the scars remained. It won't prevent new ones though, it only helps to dry them out. The weird thing is, one day it'll be all dried out and then a few days later they look ripe, red and still are raised above the skin. Works if you only get one or two pimples a month, NOT on chronic neverending acne. It's just not potent enough. The pills didn't work either, I got new pimples on the pills and on the vinegar on my face.
