Pros:

Throw away all the lying, chemical, money grubbing products you have foolishly blown your hard earned money on, and buy apple cider vinegar. Can't hurt your face, its impossible. And works great.

Cons:

Well, if you have a girlfriend she won't like the smell of vinegar at night wafting over her.

Won't dry you skin, kills all bacteria, makes skin smooth and happy, heals all types of acne, especially eliminates swelling and irritation. In the morning you will probably see some little white heads, that's your acne receding. Better than an irritated battlefield of pain. I apply full strength. Its up to you: $300 for a few months of Zenmed that makes it worse, or a $3 bottle of Bragg. Never use more than 3 ingredients on your face, that's my theory now.

Pros:

Clears up cystic acne, helps with existing acne(moderate to severe),and leaves skin with nice glow!

Cons:

Stings a bit

Once I read about this stuff about a year ago on another website,I laughed it off,thinking whats that gona do for me? But soon after I had given up on all other things. I was suffering with extreme cystic acne. Right after I started using this, about 2 weeks to a month later my cystic acne was immedietly cleared. I still get moderate acne pimples but nothing like it used to be!

Works great
I use this as an after face wash rinse when I'm in the shower. I dilute about 1/4 of a cup of Apple cider vinegar in about 2 cups of water. Then I add like 15-25 drops lavender essential oil into the mix. I wash my face, then spray the mixture onto my hand and then apply it to my face. I leave it on my face about 5 seconds (eyes and mouth closed obviously lol) and then wash it off. Works great, controls oils, clears my complexion. ACV has vitamin C in it so don't wear this sh*t outside, it will cause sun damage. Use only at night before bed and wash it off in the morning.

convinced skeptic

Pros:

dramatically improves skin texture!
cheaper than the expensive 'miricale fixes' that dont really work
makes skin oh so smoooth!!!

Cons:

smell is a bit strong
hard to find Bragg's with the mother

so i have mild to moderate to severe acne, its mainly on my cheeks and jaw line... I usually dont break out with blackheads or white heads, but i get like red bumps, like a zit is forming but it never forms just stays red and bumpy. i have tried many many things and nothing ever got rid of it. some things would make it more mellow but never gone. now i think alot of my red spots are old scars but idk. theres no texture to some of them just red spots. so last night i made a cider vinegar concotion to use as a toner... just using it one and 95% of my bumps were gone, i have smoooth skin for the most part. the redness is still red but not as bad and mind you i only used it ONCE! obvious results after ONE use. my concotion is the following: 1/2 cup water 1/2 cup brags organic ACV 2 bags of green tea leaves dumped into the mixtures, a crushed Zinc Pill and some tea tree oil and RAW organic honey. it smell waaayyy better than just the ACV! so my routine was wash face with my clarisonic, pat dry, apply my toner with a cotton pad not cotton ball. you will see why.... now since there was the green tea leaves loose in the mixture you get the leaves on your face gently rub those leaves all over your face with the cotton pad and leave it on for a few minutes its like an exfoliant. then rinse off the leaves and take another cotton pad and put the toner on it.... the leaves will be on your cotton pad still because its loose in the toner, but the toner obviously soaks through to the other side of the pad, se that side to apply the toner w/out getting any leaves on your face, once it dries, moisturize and then youre good! i never write reviews but i felt this was important to write! alos i drink green tea and and my ACV to my tea and take zinc and fish oil everyday to improve my skin from the inside! good luck

Pros:

Clears Acne
Evens Skin Tone
Natural

Cons:

Slightly Stings
Can Slightly Dry

I've been using this in combination with Ponds cold cream for about a week now. In that time my skin has improved a lot. My skin tone has evened out, I haven't had a major break out like I was having for a while, and my skin is soft feeling. I wash with Ponds once in the morning and once at night, followed by a topical application of raw cider vinegar with a little water to water it down. It does sting a little, especially on open or healing blemishes, but it goes away pretty quickly. I was trying to use all natural ingredients on my face and body to clear my acne before trying Ponds (I used coconut oil for a few weeks, it didn't work for me unfortunately). Anyhow, I am attracted to this method because it is all natural and unprocessed. Vinegar is also great for the hair with some baking soda. I do not mind the smell, either. I would definitely recommend this.

Pros:

softens hair, great detox, helps clear up complexion

Cons:

tastes and smells bad but so worth it

I use Braggs vinegar for a vinegar/water hair rinse. It makes my hair so soft. This is the only conditioner I use. I also drink 2 tablespoons twice a day of the vinegar. Cleans out the system and improved metabolism (also increases energy). My complexion is clearer since I've started doing this. I've also switched to all natural skin and hair products. Makes such a big difference.

Pros:

GETS RID OF ACNE, makes skin soft, reduces redness

Cons:

Stings a little and hurts the eyes if you get too close and smells funny

I use just plain vinegar you would put on fries diluted to a 1:1 ratio with water twice a day after washing with Biore Ice Cleanser. Its great because it keeps acne away. If I see a pimple, I just dab a little more on that area and it gets smaller and the redness disappears fast! I wish that I had heard about this sooner. The smell is kind of bad but if you wait for it to dry on your face and then moisturizer with a nice smelling moisturizer you can't even smell it at all. As for the reducing redness on acne scars it seems to be working but i'll bet it takes a while to see great results. You (yes even you) should try it, it really works and what do you have to lose?!?!
