Pros:

healthy, makes an alkaline environment in your gut, can help skin, among other things

Cons:

taste and smell

I've noticed a lot of people who complain of ineffectiveness are drinking this stuff with juice. ACV works to create an alkaline environment in your gut and kills Candida, which may be a huge contributing factor to acne as toxins are being released through your skin. Drinking it with juice causes blood sugar spikes and feeds acne causing yeasts in your gut, canceling out the benefits. Drink it with WATER and drink it throughout the day for maximum effectiveness. Dilute whatever amount is to your tolerance and needs. I use 6 tsps or 2 tbs. and sip throughout the day. I don't think it's the miracle people claim, but it has given me a nice glow and combined with a no sugar, no dairy, no gluten and no yeast, it has contributed to killing my candida and keeping me clear.

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:

It's cheap, makes my skin softer than I thought possible, is slowly but efficiently reducing acne.

Cons:

nasty, to smell and taste. I want to gag just looking at the bottle.

I have been using this for four days now. I drink a small gulp down in the morning before I eat, as to avoid puking. I really can't get over the taste, and I've tried all sorts of drink concoctions, but I figure a small amount in a short time will be tolerable. I also use it as a toner, at night, because people have noticed the smell when I use it in the morning. hehh... It made my acne REALLY BAD by the second day, which I think was because it was drawing the impurities forth. My face was really red, my "problem areas" were splotchy and gross. I had trust, though, so I kept going. Day three, my face was super soft (still is) and my acne was still worse than before I used ACV, but the redness became concentrated just to the whiteheads. I noticed my pores were shrinking, and I don't have any bumpy areas on my face anymore. So no new pimples, just really bad old ones. Day four, No redness anywhere, except one agitated pimple. My face has a small shine to it, which I think can be considered a 'glow'. Everything is clearing up, and my skin is so smooth. I guess everything gets worse before it gets better. I'll post another update soon, to show how this continues. :)

Pros:

Cheap, easy to use, fast results

Cons:

Can harm enamel of teeth

I use apple cider vinegar as a tonic twice a day. I keep a spray bottle in my bathroom, and have an ACV and water solution of about 1:6 in there. I spray a generous amount on a cotton pad every morning and night, and wipe on my face after exfoliating with baking soda. I also drink a tbsp of ACV in a large glass of water 2x a day. Other steps in my regimen: no commercial beauty products whatsoever. I wash my face with baking soda, tone with ACV, and moisturize with pure coconut oil. Important to note: I also cut out nearly all dairy products about 4 months ago. (I'm of Asian descent and definitely lactose intolerant.) Results: No new major zits in over a month, for the first time in 2-3 years. When small zits happen, they dry up quickly and don't leave as much hyperpigmentation and scarring behind as I'm used to from before. My skin has more of a glow, and interestingly, my stomach feels better, too. I'm on my way to being clear, knock on wood, and will probably save over $150 dollars this year on commercial beauty products in the meantime. Conclusion: since I'm doing a combination of new things, it's hard to know exactly what effect the ACV is having. But I intend to keep up with it, and really enjoy using it!

Pros:

Tastes great (dilluted in water that is)
Clears skin tremendously
Keeps hormonal acne at bay for the most part
Detoxing of skin and body- Feels great after you drink it!!!
-LOVE IT!

Cons:

-Stomach aches if consumed on an empty stomach

Best thing i have used to clear my acne in a long long time! I am however using in combination with Retin A topically. Cut dairy out of diet which helps tremendously along with cutting caffeine down to reduce hormonal break outs and over oiliness of my skin. I have nothing but great things to say about the ACV that Braggs makes. I only buy it organic and will not buy any other brand.. Just make sure not to take it straight for it is back for your stomach and your teeth enamel due to how acidic the drink is. So be careful!

Pros:

Cheap and fast-acting. I have the clearest skin I've had in years. It is so amazing and has worked so quickly that I find it hard to believe.

Cons:

The smell and taste is pretty bad so it takes some getting used to. You may be subject to alot of jokes at family gatherings ( which you can always respond to by saying "you can laugh all you want, I have clear skin."

Before starting this, I had extremely oily skin. My shiny forehead was covered in bumps, my temples had hard to get rid off zits, and my cheeks were constantly broken out. For 5 long years I felt hopeless and very ashamed of it. After a month of organic ACV, ONLY 1 MONTH, I now have clear healthy looking skin. I get tons of compliments like "OMG your skin looks so good", "what have you done?", and "was your skin always this great?" I am so HAPPY. I hardly break out anymore, but on those days that i do( ie. time of the month), it is one or two tiny white heads that are barely even noticeable. It has been heaven-sent for me. Try it out because with this there is absolutely nothing to loose. I drink 2tsp mixed with an 8oz. glass of water through a straw twice a day(in the morning after breakfast and at night before going to bed)

Pros:

-affordable
-has numerous benefits for health

Cons:

-when first getting used to it taste can be overwhelming.

I love ACV!! I heard it could aid with weight loss, so I tried it, and noticed after a few weeks that my skin had improved! It didn't completely clear everything up but there is definitely an improvement. It has so many benefits for the digestive system and skin, it just makes sense to use it. I would recommend using the organic one though.

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.
