Vinegar (as a topical)

I never had much acne in highschool.. just a pimple or two every now and then. Now, at 25 years old, my face has been exploding non-stop. SO frustrating. It started a few years ago but has gotten to where I have permanent patches of deep red scars and eruptions on each cheek, plus random spots on my forehead, nose, chin, neck, etc. I naturally have more dry skin (everywhere, and dry hair), so when I tried ProActive (and most any acne medication), it just made my skin horribly dried out and flaky and red. As far as diet, I do ALL the stuff you're supposed to do. I'm a total hippie food snob. After spending literally hundreds of dollars on natural products that didn't clear my skin, I overhauled my entire regimen this week and only washed with natural soap, rub ACV on with a cotton ball after I wash my face at night, and during the day use only a natural tinted moisturizer on my face for foundation. It seems to actually be helping. Not completely clear yet, but improvement.

As a teenager, I had a clear, peaches and cream complexion. I'm 25 now, and about a year and a half ago, I developed rosacea. I've tried all kinds of crap (medications and moisturisers) for it, and nothing worked. I even cut bangs just to hide my forehead. Within a week of starting to use apple cider vinegar (mixed on a 1:6 ratio with water), I have no new pimples, all of the existing ones are almost completely healed, and the redness is going away. It may not be for everyone or every skin type, but it's worked wonderfully for me.

i think everyone should give this method a try because it is natural, and will not harm your skin. Even if it doesnt work for you, IT IS STILL WORTH THE TRY!. * This will not completely "cure" your acne, but it sure helps alot~

I was skeptical of this one... I've tried everythingggg and got desperate... I started to wash with Purpose cleanser and then apply (1 part ACV/1 part which hazel/3 part water) toner. Every few days Ill do a mask with Baking Soda as well. I was so surprised to find that mixing a few drops of Jojoba oil in with my Olay Regenerist Serum makes a perfect mixture! I apply this before my foundation in the AM. I hardly do any touch ups or blotting all day, and I have a healthy glow again. I tried doing the 'drinking it' thing for a few days, but decided topical may be the better way to go for the results I wanted :) no complaints other than the smell

This really works but you must be consistent. I use a small spray bottle and spray some undiluted vinegar onto a makeup removal pad. After I have washed my face in the shower using a face washer only I leave my face wet. I then wipe the pad over my face, a bit like a toner. If I don't have a wet face I dilute it a little. Initially I started off with it diluted so as to not shock my skin too much. I can't emphasize enough how great ACV is for your skin. It is also anti-aging as it keeps the circulation to your skin and is a chemical exfoliant. Not only do I have clear skin, but my skin glows now! I have tried everything in the past, the oral contraceptive pill, I have had 3 months of acupuncture and chinese herbs, 3 months seeing a natropath, I have tried tissue salts, all sorts of vitamins, I had food intolerances tested, I tried topical antibiotics, every acne cream, lotion and potion available. Apple cider vinegar is the only thing that has worked!!!!!!!

I have never had problem skin but now at the age of 28, I have just suffered from adult acne. I am not sure what induced it, changing hormones, exposure to too much sun, but the skin on my face was attacked by aggressive pimples that left red scars all over. I have sensitive skin and I tried some "natural products" and some medical topicals and salicylic acid treatments.. None worked. Now I am just washing my face with warm (not hot) water and Dove bar soap. Do not exfoliate or scrub with a towel because it will aggravate your skin more. Just use the circular motion of your fingertips when washing to lightly exfoliate. I have found that apple cider vinegar actually purges my clogged pores. It also acts as a peel, not an exfoliant, and has helped my scars disappear. I have not had any new pimples since I started the nightly applications, only the purging of the already existing ones. I really am so glad that this works for me!

This stuff has helped to stop my breakouts better than anything else I've tried. I've been using an expensive red/blue lamp for 4 years and ACV seems to work much better (although lamps are still worth a go IMO) It has faded my red marks a fair bit and even smoothed out some of my light scarring. It seriously improves your overall skin tone and at first you will notice how smooth your skin feels after using it. Best of all, after applying it to my shoulders every night which were constantly breaking out and covered in red marks, I now barely get a spot there and the marks are fading very well too! The smell is just not an issue for me, I apply it before I go to bed anyway. You must try this product. It is so cheap what have you got to lose?

USE IT! fold a tissue in half or dose a cottonpad in it, after your morning shower or before you go to bed...you'll see the results immediately. this is coming from someone that's used EVERYTHING (aloe vera gel, ProActiv, honey, lemon juice, Vitamin E, Zinc, potatoes, strawberry leaves, Zapzyt, Oxy pads...many more).

This stuff is great. I've been doing the DK regimen for about a month and I just added this in a few days ago and am amazed at the results. My skin has never looked better and I've suffered from breakouts for the past eleven years. I haven't gone without makeup in front of people for years and my skin is getting to the point where I'm actually considering it and that feels SO good.

I started drinking this product about a month ago and started to notice my skin looking better. After I did some research online I found out that you can put it directly on your skin. My skin condition has improved 100% Its also a great weight loss tool. Take a tbsp or two 15 minutes before each meal with 8 oz of water. I cant say enough about this miracle product! Bragg brand vinegar is the best!
