Vinegar (as a topical)

This may work for some but it really isn't worth all the hassle! The apple cider vinegar smells absolutely VILE and it makes you face feel really sticky. Not to mention, apple cider vinegar made my face extremely red! Avoid at all costs.

I've been attempting to use Apple Cider Vinegar as a toner for the last 4 days. So far I'm seeing pretty surprising results. It's only been 4 days though. I've started a blog to record my progress. For now... I'll rate it 3 stars but I'll change that once I've given it more time. Take a look at my blog if you'd like to follow along with this test before or while testing it yourself. The link is actually part of this same site and I do add in the amount of Apple Cider Vinegar I'm using plus my regimen. If you have any advise, I'd love to hear it too :) - [link edited out]

its been less then a week and my skin it is definitely smoothing out my acne bumps and stoping any breakouts. im so thankful i tried this.

At first I was scared to try this but after reading the positive reviews I decided to give it a try. I've been suffering from acne since I was 13. At first I would only get pimples on my forehead but then it spread on my cheeks thanks to poor diet and stress. I started using ACV as a toner for 2 months now and I saw a HUGE difference! My acne started to go away, my post acne scars started to lighten up, and it also made my skin smooth and less oily. I usually get cystic pimples but I barely get it anymore. I only use ACV toner at night and in the morning I use Paula's Choice 2% Liquid Exfoliant. I know most people find ACV gross because of the smell but it's not that bad.

I had quite bad acne for many years. After years of finding out what works for me, I was able to get my skin to a tolerable level of a few prominent zits on my face at one time. I decided to add ACV to my regimen twice a day, using a q-tip to apply it to my problem areas, and my skin has never looked better. It dries up and shrinks zits fast, and is perfect for applying to recently lanced whiteheads. I still use retin-a at night and cleanse twice a day, but for 1 dollar a bottle I would recommend adding this to anyones regimen. The smell is prominent, but quickly fades within 5 minutes.

I've been using ACV for about a month and a half. I dilute it with green tea ( 2parts of green tea / 1part of ACV) and use as skin toner. Once apply ACV let it dry and use your moisturizer! My face is completely acne free right now. When I had a big pimple I applied just only ACV to the spot. next day I could see huge improvement. the pimples dried out so quickly and few more days later it's completely gone. I also drink 1 table spoon of ACV and 8 oz water right after I get up in the morning. My boyfriend hates the way it smells but we all know we will do everything if we can beat the acne.

I was surprised. I was using non organic ACV for a week and it seemed to do nothing. But I bought a bottle of braggs organic ACV since it was only $4, nothing to lose. And after 2 days of using it, I went from 15 so pimples down to 3 now. Again, I was surprised. Stuff's so cheap, and it by far beats the hundreds of products that I've tried and spend hundreds on.

It's amazing. I have used everything the dermatologist prescribes from differin to oral antibiotics and retin-A and benzoyl peroxide 10%. Then I started using the ACV (concentration =50%) and my skin has never looked better! It started working in around a week, and right now I've only got 1 active pimple compared to the at least 30 (not exagerating) I used to have. It does kinda smell, but the smell evaporates in about 5 minutes. And since the smell makes my eyes sting, I just close my eyes when I apply it. I apply it AT LEAST 2 times a day. Note: I still used benzoyl perrozide (but 2.5%) 2 x a day and retin-A at nights. I moisturize with unrefined shea butter at night and neutrogena healthy skin at day

I literally read about this around 8 pm last night, around 9 walked two blocks to the store, bought Bragg's apple cider vinegar (unfiltered and organic) and then came home and used it as a toner. I was going to take a shower later on, but wanted to jump start the process. I washed my face, let it dry and then soaked a cotton ball in the acv and applied gently to my face in a thin layer. Three hours later I took a shower and rinsed my face ' no soap ' and then when I got out, while my pores were still open, I applied the acv as a spot treatment, let that sit for like 20 minutes and then applied the regimen amount of BP. I woke up and two of my cysts that I've had for a month are completely gone, and this really painful cyst I have on my cheek has gone down by about a 1/3 and is way less red. I've used this for like 12 hours and I'm in love. I also drink it, 2 tsp three times a day. I mix it with the POM brand pomegranate and blackberry tea ' can't ev

I've suffered from acne for 6 years now, when it developed in my teen years. I've tried everything, from prescription antibiotics, to salicyclic acid/differn gel, to change in diet, the pill, and drinking litres of water...but to no avail! Came across articles of the benefits of Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) recently and decided to give it a try. After taking 2tsp of vinegar mixed in warm water 3x daily, and apply topically each night with cotton swab, I found within several days my skin was clearing. My skin did flare up again after a week, but I found having sensitive skin meant the vinegar was very drying. So I applied the ACV to my face every few days while moisturising with "Bio Oil" in between, and continued drinking ACV 3 times a day. After about 1 1/2 months my skin is so clear, with only a few spots every now and then. I have a healthy glow, smooth lightened skin, bright eyes, hair is in fantastic condition, and I have more energy than I ever had! A complete miracle!
