Pros:

reduces itching and swelling of dry skin, brings the infected pores to surface. Good for applying directly to painful red bumps. Diluted as an astringent. So far has cured part of my face from red corners of mouth, Dry eczema, and pustules.

Cons:

It can sting a bit, hard to cover smell in public. And can cause your skin to look red in the areas it is affecting. However, if you let it heal and I add Amlactin for moisturizing, Can't miss a dose of that. Plus drink lots of H20.

Use it as a mouthwash, then brush. With Amlactin, it creates a PH level in the skin that discourages microbes from growing. It can help with warts/herpes, and perhaps you have HPV/HSV on your face. ACV will help that as well. Rosacea? it will still be red for a while but I've noticed my red patches shrink. Only been on it for 2 months and drastic improvements. I fill a clean sink with Hot water. Then just dump some organic ACV in the basin. I basically exfoliate circular, after rinsing hands with Hydrogen Pyroxide. That is also a good thing but can burn healthy tissue. Both need to be diluted. I add 100% ACV directly to specific bumps. I make sure it doesn't spread. Qtip. Some of the whiteheads turn more white. and the skin may crust but in a couple of days, the crust comes off and perfect skin underneath. Use it with Amlactin, it really works. My skin is smoother, and the redness is going away. Hopefully in 6 months I will be able to say that my acne/rosacea/eczema/d

Pros:

not sure as this is day 1

Cons:

it smells =(

you know what's funny? science has taken us to the moon and can't even come up with a simple solution to a problem that plagues the population by the millions... all the doctors say is that acne is a hormonal problem... what on earth is that supposed to mean? that's not an answer it doesn't explain anything.Pimples, hormonal, yes... acne, hormones gone wrong? Surely the underlying problem is more specific, maybe there is some gene present or absent in people with acne that can be dealt with using molecular targeted therapy, just like breast cancer is treated. i am absolutely sure that with some effort science and medical researchers can come up with a solution formed in solid scientific and medical reasoning that works from day 1 guaranteed for every sufferer of this horrible, horrible affliction.

Pros:

Regulates pH, lightens red/brown marks, exfoliates, brings blackheads to the surface so they can be easily removed (I use the pedicure brush method for that), dries up existing acne and prevents new ones, and definitely helps oily skin.

Cons:

The smell is strong and if not diluted it can burn skin and eyes.

Excellent product and extremely cheap, you really can't go wrong. ACV contains Malic Acid and plenty of other enzymes and vitamins. Malic Acid is an AHA just like Glycolic Acid only Malic Acid is derived from Apples. ACV bc it is a liquid penetrates the skin much faster then any lotion therefore faster and better results and you don't have to worry about a residue. I strongly recommend this for anyone.

Pros:

Soft skin, fast results, smiles c:

Cons:

The taste... but don't drink it!

I've only been using it for about a three days, and I can already see some good results. I've gotten really tired of using all of those horrible factory-made cleansers and washes, because all of them I've used dry out my skin and make it look leathery and aged until it is removed (ex. benzoyl peroxide.) I've been searching forever for a good way to clear up acne naturally, and in judgment of these reviews, I think I made have found one trustworthy enough ;) Oh... and I sort of like the smell.

Pros:

I recently had a bad breakout (hormonally related) and the vinegar has worked wonders. My dermatologist tried several medications (doxycycline, Differin, benzamycin, new BCP) but the vinegar is what works!

Cons:

It did not work overnight for me as some have claimed. Give it some time if it doesn't work right away. Took me about two weeks before things really started clearing up.

Give it a shot! My acne was somewhat severe and it works. If it doesn't work out, you only spent a few bucks, anyway. Be sure to mix it 50-50 with water so it doesn't burn. I used to drink it too, but it bothered my stomach. I think just applying it topically does the trick. Good luck everyone.
