Vinegar (as a topical)

I tried every medication and combination and nothing worked. This WORKS!

I've tried absolutely everything to cure or at least control my acne in the last 10 years. Prescriptions, OTC products, expensive OTC products, acutane, even UT (Don't ask why I tried that before this.) ACV has worked extremely well for me in the last two weeks. It took some time to really see results, but I would rather have delayed, sustainable results, than some over the night cure that isn't really good for my skin in the long run. It works, because it's a natural antiseptic, and when diluted with a little water, it's supposed to balance the skin's pH. After years of various types of txs, it makes sense that my skin's acid mantle is all out of whack, so with repeated use I believe this product is helping to restore my skin's natural durability. I use it twice a day, morning and night, after washing my face, as a toner. I started by diluting it 1:4 vinegar to water. I'm currently using a 1:3 ratio, and I might even get closer to 1:2 with the next batch I make, at least for spot treatment. I apply it with a cotton ball, let it dry, and apply my regular moisturizer over it, because it can dry your skin out. I haven't had any cystic acne since using this, and any new pimples either dry out or come out within a day or two. I've also noticed that it has helped with my scarring. This is huge for me, and acne products and product for scarring are rarely one in the same. I also maintain a healthy vegan diet. Cutting out gluten has made a big difference for me. I'm running out of room to write, but please look in to that!! I take a digestive enzyme, EFA oil with DHA, and a calcium/mag/zinc supplement. I've been getting microderms to help with scarring. I try to get at least 10 minutes of sun on my face most mornings. I use Dr. Bronner's 18-in-1 soap, because it's one of the most natural soaps I've found. But even with all of this, ACV has made the most noticeable difference in my skin. Definitely worth trying. Give it some time. Go

better to combine half of cider vinegar with half of cucumber juice. Keep apply in your acne area for 2 weeks and u will see the result. It works wonder on my skin

acv is cheap and it works. I wish I would have tried this years ago. It would have saved me alot of money and I could have stopped it from getting so bad. glta

THIS IS THE BEST NATURAL PRODUCT I HAVE EVER TRIED ON MY BODY!! I AM SO HAPPY WITH IT THAT I WANT TO SHOUT IT OUT TO EVERYONE WHO HAS ACNE TO TRY IT!! Give it 3 weeks, apply daily! I apply it WITHOUT diluting it, with a cotton ball, and just rub it over my face and chest. I do this ONCE every night before I go to bed.

i have been using this product for two whole days and my acne is almost completely gone. i can't even believe it. okay so yesterday morning i started drinking it, in water and honey, 3-4 times a day. just basically always drinking water throughout the day (as usual) and always having some ACV in it. i also have been applying it topically all over my face a few times a day -- just rinsing my face and re-applying it whenever i felt like it. i was pretty determined, man! anyway, i have come to love the taste of it, not only because mixed with water and honey it tastes like some kind of crazy apple juice, but it's saving my life for real. i love this sh*t! it proves that you don't need to spend a million dollars on a prescription face wash or cream. it's all about the natural remedies, baby! i'm so down with this stuff!!!!

I am 42 years old, rarely wear makeup, and have always had perfect skin even as a teen. My friends knew my skin routine but never wanted to try it, preferring to buy chemicals at the store. My 'secret' is something my mom once told me, wash with soap and water if your skin is oily (otherwise just water), scrub your face well with a cloth until it glows (to remove dead skin layers), and spritz your face with diluted ACV (or white vinegar) and let it dry. My oldest son had terrible acne until he actually listened to his mother (horrors!) and tried this. Two weeks later, his baby face was back and he hasn't had any problems since (he has been using ACV for over a year). Now my daughter is using this method as well and her skin is perfect. A month ago she had blackheads and pimples, and now has beautiful blemish free skin.

Been using it almost every day in the shower - after the cleanser I spray my face with 50:50 water concentartion for 1-3 mins, then just rinse with water. It is the best topical I found so far. Mine is not Braggs but it's bio ACV with the mother. When I see a pimple forming I spot treat it and 90% of times it's gone before pop out and the scar/mark is prevented! Really good stuff for me-try it then you'll know..

I've tried applying apple cider vinegar to my back, chest, shoulders, and face. So far, it seems to work okay. It slows breakouts down but doesn't eliminate them. It seemed to make my face acne practically disappear within two days or so, but we'll see. I apply it to the areas with a cotton ball, allow it to dry and wash in the morning, or leave on for a few hours and wash off. I will start a regimen and update in a few weeks.

it works very quickly with the right amount of vinegar & water...AND it doesn't dry your skin out but instead balances you skin's pH level...which clears up your skin and doesnt dry it out or make it greasy :)
