Vinegar (as a topical)

I have been pimple-free for about 4 months but suddenly, I'm not very sure why but it's probably hormonal changes, I started having a big breakout a week ago, with painful red cysts! It was depressing, especially after a heavenly period of clear skin..but then I came upon some ACV in my cabinet and thought, why not? I am so glad I tried this! I held a swab dipped with it and placed it against one really, deep cyst and after a minute, I can see a head!! Amazing. It has only been 2 days but the redness and swelling has reduced, and brown spots left from a few cysts last week just seemed to have fallen right off of my face! I'm excited for the results after a bit more time. Really..give it a try!!

I dip a Q-tip in Bragg's ACV at night and just dab it on my problem spots (around my chin). By the next morning, those areas have already improved drastically! If I keep it up over the next couple of days, the results are amazing: the redness and acne just disappear. I've tried various products to combat the problem, and this is the easiest and most effective.

After trying everything from Pro Active, DDF, and even Dermabrasion, I was ready to give up. I heard about AVC and how it helps prevent acne, so I decided to give it a shot. I bought "Bragg" since it had the most success stories. This stuff does not mess around. After 2 days I noticed a huge difference in my acne disappearing along with the redness. I did not dilute the AVC and applied it once in the morning and once at night after washing my face. Thank you Bragg!!!

i suffered with moderate acne for some time and had tried everything. when i hit my freshman year in college i broke out like never before and i struggled with my severe acne. i am a very confident person but as nothing worked i slowly slipped into deep depression. i tried every treatment. i burned my skin countless times. i dieted to the point i was only eating apples and water twice a day. i even over moisturized my skin so much stopped making normal amounts of natural oil. I started taking 100mil of zinc and two months later discoved apple cider vinegar. Over night, i had results. im finishing my first month and i only have a few whiteheads under the skin that the vingar is slowly wearing down. im bassically just waiting for the scars to fade.

Hi guys. I've had really bad acne for a few years now. Tried prescriptions from doctors and various over the counter washes and pills with no luck. Being using acv for about 3 weeks now and the results are very good. I've noticed that my break out has lessened and even when I do breakout the pimple is gone in 2 days. My skin has improved greatly. Now I need something for the marks...

I just started using ACV yesterday after doing a couple days of research online. I found that only a few people's acne turned worse after using ACV, most of them have good results, so I decided to give it a try. I have acne since I was 15 and now I am 25, and I have been trying different products and seeing doctors during the past ten years, and the acne was on and off. So here is my routine with ACV yesterday, I drink one TBSP ACV and one TBSP of raw honey with around 300ml of warm water twice a day before meals and I also mix 1ml of ACV with 5ml of water and apply it on my face before bed. I would suggest to mix it with more water at first since the ACV can be quite strong to apply on face, but once you get used to it, you can mix it 50:50. After one day of experiment on using ACV, I found my T zone, esp my nose area, is less oily, and my acnes which are on the cheek and jawline seem more calm. And one thing to note for all ladies, the blood during my menstrual cycle has always been dark brownish red, but after I took ACV twice yesterday, I noticed a change, it becomes more of a pure red, which should be healthier. I think it's the ACV thats working inside my body and I will continue to take it and hope for the best.

I used Rice Vinegar and I've found it works much better than regular vinegar. I have not tried Apple Cider Vinegar, so I can not attest to its effectiveness. Before bed every night I put some vinegar on a round cotton pad and run it over the problem areas. The scent can be a bit overpowering, but I find that you get used to it quickly, and when you shower in the morning it doesn't matter. By morning, I find that the acne is significantly dried out, bringing some to a head and others partially disappearing. This is very good for body acne, as that is what I've used it for. I really have no complaints here, and I would recommend it to anybody.

I took the bad with the good here. Honestly, after taking Minocin gave me folliculitis, I couldn't figure out what to do to make it go away. Fortunately, my GP gave me Bactrim and I began putting apple cidar vinegar, and then later plain white distilled vinegar on my acne effected areas. It worked wonders!! I could see and feel the vinegar bubbling up and killing bacteria, and that sensation only lasted a few seconds. While it did kill off the bacteria with the help of Bactrim, it also left the acne and folliculitis effected areas darker, as if the skin was dead. But that was fine, because a week or so later, the skin was loose enough that I could just scrub it away and the skin underneath was like BRAND NEW, SOFT, CLEAR baby skin. The marks took a while to heal but my skin was def healthier. I tried drinking down ACV and that's just gross. I can't even shot the stuff....so I just applied it topically. My acne was once severe but now it is nonexistent, so I just put "very light"

use this stuff. its awesome, cheap and amazing!!!

My every night routine: I first wash my face with a scrub made of baking soda & water. I then use the ACV at half strength (mixed with water) with a cotton ball. Once a week, I will wear a mask made up of simply egg whites for 20 minutes. I used to have the worst acne, but my skin has been clear for the past year. I think the ACV even helped fade my old acne scars.
