Apple Cider Vinegar (as a drink)

Firstly, so many reviews here say that people are brushing their teeth immediately after drinking vinegar -- that is the WORST thing you can do. The vinegar softens and erodes your tooth enamel, and right after that is the worst time to scrub your teeth with a brush. This is according to my dentist, who can see brush marks in my tooth enamel from when I would have orange juice for breakfast and then brush my teeth right afterwards (thinking I was doing a good thing for my teeth). Secondly, don't drink the vinegar straight - put it in a good quantity of water first (like 8 ounces). Too strong a solution can cause mouth and esophagus burns. Thirdly, apparently vinegar works on people who have some digestion issues or acidity issues internally--which, it is said (I don't know if it's true), can cause secondary acne if your body chemistry is screwed up. The people who do not have those issues and who have acne for other reasons might not find any relief when using vinegar.

Has plenty of other benefits listed--no harm in taking it.But if you want to find a solution to get rid of acne--this does not do the job--strictly my personal experience. Bottomline--it may or may not work for you.But give it a shot anyways.

so im 17 and about 2 months ago cystic acne showed up covering my cheeks. nothing has worked my next go to was accutane but I decided to try acv before all those harmones. It's been 5 days and my cystic zits are starting to come to a yellow head and I think thats called purging I drink it twice a day and apply it as toner I hope it continues to work!

I have read all of the reviews on how apple cider vinegar helps to clear acne. I am 17 and have serve acne. I have tried just about everything. So Today I got some Bragg ACV and put it in a small glass of water. It taste so horrible that it makes me gag when I drink it. You can really taste the acid. So instead it took that glass and put in a huge glass of ice water. I can still taste it but it is no where near as bad. just hope that doing it this way I am drinking enough. I feel a little warm inside. I will continue to drink a lot of water. I do not see how people drink this. Tonight I will use it on my face as a toner and will see what happens in the next few days. i will be back to update. 1 Week Update: So I have been using the ACV for a week now and I believe my skin may be purging. I am not very sure. I try to drink at least a cap full of ACV everyday. Because of the taste I have to put it in something like iced tea and smoothies. I also use it as a toner at night. A week ago I did have some clusters of bumps around the jaw line that seems to be drying out really well. Starting At the beginning of this week I have been getting these huge bumps in random places on my face. When one goes down I feel another coming. I believe that is the purging. I do not really know. I am going to continue using the AVC and see whats happens. Another update soon.

I'm wondering do you loose weight by drinking this because I don't wana loose weight

After drinking ACV diluted with water, I had pimples and only 1-3 cyst acne on parts pn my face where I don't usually get it 😦 but it's not swelling red and it's kinda dry too. But do you think it's just my skin purging? Please I need answers immediately 😢😦

After reading the reviews I went out and bought the cider with the "mother" in it. I began drinking it but it does taste awful! I started to dilute it more and it wasn't so bad. Then I realized I wasn't drinking as much as other people on the board were ( I only drank about a tbl spoon or around 3 tsp) so I started to drink more. Eventually I got to where I actually liked the taste....but still not the smell! I also used it as a topical and at first that worked pretty well drying out some pimples. But I didn't see my skin clear up, it started to get worse, so I stopped. This wasn't initially either. At first I didn't see a change then things got better and gradually worse. Didn't work for me, I have oily type skin.

I dunno if it works for me. Kinda confused. It certainly kill off pimples gracefully.Unlike other topical that dries or burn it. However, after drinking(2 times a day) and applying(3 times a day) for 7 days, i still get new pimples everyday. Only difference is the pimpes are smaller as compared to previous. From my online reading, i seems to hear some people see almost fast results by taking and applying ACV. For my case, im not sure if it is working for me. i read that sometimes it could be due to the detox process tat cause further pimples from breaking out. i will give it a try for another 2 weeks and see if works better. Wish me luck, mates!

Try it but if you're like me who has a sensitive stomache don't try it. Because you will regret it. It made me puke blood...I kept trying to fugure out WTF is wrong with me. Than I told myself either I'm mortally sick or it's the damn vinegar.

ACV has been a great topical for me, but I'm not convinced it does much as a drink. Even when diluted, ACV can be quite harsh on your throat, and it's not very pleasant to consume.
