Vinegar (as a topical)

If you're like me (cheap with a good pain tolerance) it's great. I've been using it for about a week and I haven't had any new pimples and my constant ones have begun to shrink. I've been using distilled white, but I'm guessing its the acetic acid that's the important part.

It didn't make any difference for me in the oiliness of my skin, the appearance of my marks or the state of my current acne. If anything, my t-zone seemed more shiny & sticky after applying this. I also just didn't like the feeling of it - it didn't give my skin that "light, fresh and clean" feel that toners usually do. It felt more heavy, like putting another layer of something onto my skin.

I used undiluted GOYA ACV twice daily for my chest and back acne, and it cleared completely in about 3 weeks. This is not the first time it has helped me with this kind of acne. However, I started using EDEN ACV, for my face about one week now, but I am yet to see results.. I have ALOT of tiny pimples all over my face so I know it will take a while to clear up. I am also drinking 2 teaspoons of ACV in a 16 oz glass of water, twice daily. I will update as soon as I see results. All the best everyone....

- wonderful product (just make sure it's organic / with "mother"). It's the only product that works well on my skin, u can notice the improvement of your complexion in just a week. When it comes to getting rid of acne, u just have to wait but i promise you, it will give EXCELLENT result. If you feel it's making your skin dry, just put a little ORGANIC/RAW honey on your toner. ( the mixture should be equal parts of acv and water) Just as simple as that.

I have been using this for about 3 weeks now and I have noticed a great improvement in my skin. I believe my acne is hormonal. In addition to applying it on my skin I also take it internally with 2 tablespoons in an 8oz. glass of water twice a day. I notice more of an improvement when I drink it than when I apply it to my skin.

I started this about two weeks ago, and I wasn't really impressed. What I found it did was bring all the pimples about to come through to a head. So although I didnt like these pimple, it was actually getting rid of what was already under my skin. The pimples were smaller, easier to get rid of too. About now I can see the benefits properly. No real pimples, cleaner complexion, my old scars now have a chance to fade without new ones replacing them. I am kicking myself I hadnt found this seven years ago. All that pain and I just needed some acv! I was skeptical because I had been drinking this for a while without this kind of result, I now use it topically and internally. I think it balances the pH of my skin after stripping it with a soap and controls bacteria. What I do is apply it after washing my face in the morning and at night, with a pure cotton pad. I really love this stuff, I'm starting to like myself! TOUCHWOOD TOUCH WOOOOOOOOOOOD

Fantastic. Has cleared my acne when NOTHING else did. I have tried: liver cleanses, detox's, Vitex herb, Various face washes, scrubs - natural and chemically based. I tried antibiotics and retinoid creams to no avail and then throught one day i'll try apple cider vinegar topically and internally. As a moisturiser i use straight cold pressed organic coconut oil. Which is a fantastic combination. After 8 years I have no acne and my skin looks and feels fantastic. Acne was previously moderate to severe and chronic. Now I have one small pimple under my chin which is only there because I picked at it!

I have bad side effect using benzoyl peroxide so i can't use Dan's regimen. I managed to found my acne cure in this forum. That's using apple cider vinegar as a drink and a topical. I drink and apply it twice a day. I have done up a blog [link removed] with 20 days of pictures of my acne condition. This treatment is rather tedious but it really works. I have to continue the treatment even after my acne clear up.

PLEASE TRY THIS!!!! (I have mild acne and oily skin if that helps anyone.) I was skeptical at first because I tried so many other products, both chemical and natural. *ProActiv, Oxy, Clearasil, Lemon juice, baking soda, etc.) I must say, I feel really stupid for not buying ACV earlier. I could have saved myself several hundreds of dollars. I've used it for close to month now, and I can safely say it's the best thing I've tried. Those 1 or 2 pimples I've always had are now gone and my acne is easily managed now. Some people say it stings when you wash your face with it, but it definitely doesn't sting when I wash my face with it. The only time it's remotely irritating to my skin is when I get out of the shower and wash my face with it. I'm guessing it's because my pores are more open. Bottom Line: PLEASE TRY THIS BEFORE WASTING ANY MORE MONEY ON CHEMICAL PRODCUTS! This worked for me, and it may just work for you. At only 3 bucks a bottle you can't afford

I tried this on my nose, it works but be very careful not to do overdo it as I did. It caused the spot to go but the skin never healed afterwards. I have now had a spot on my nose that hasn't properly healed for nearly a year. I have been to a dermatologist and was going to have it cut out in case it was cancerous. This has now been postponed as it seems to finally be healing. If you have spots avoid using a 1:1, 2:1 or even a 3:1 or 4:1 ratio of water to vinegar as you may end up scaring yourself permanently or worse, creating cancerous cells in your skin. In my opinion a few spots or blemishes are nothing when you open up the possibility of a skin graft on your face, I kid you not. Eat well, cut out all processed food, exercise and don't smoke or drink excessively, putting vinegar on your face is not the answer, or anywhere else on your skin for that matter. What's worse, skin cancer or acne? You decide.
