Pros:

Smoothed out skin
scars and red marks faded
no pimples

Cons:

Can burn and leave skin red if not watered down

I wash my face with warm water apply acv let dry for 10 min. then wash with cold water, and I do it about 4 times a day. it works as an antiseptic to kill bacteria and a toner, but it can be harsh. My scars are fading, and deep cystic acne has been brought to whiteheads, something they wouldnt have done on their own. ACV increases circulation so swelling is down. So far my skin is smoother but still lingering redmarks, but the vinegar is surprisingly moisturizing and has eliminate most of my flakes. Its only been 3 days so I figure it may take a few weeks

works.. need a couple days though:)

Pros:

detoxifies skin and pores of impurities
radiant skin
brings up deep acne

Cons:

burning sensation
redness after use, not a wash and go treatment
initial uses pull up acne.. however first step to healing it

I tried this a long time ago and due to the burning sensation and the fact I saw acne come up, I shelfed this for a long time.. after much reading and research, I found due to it' s detoxifying it brings the deeper acne up to the surface. I took a weekened where I could stay home, applied ACVinegar a few times, left it on for a while then rinsed. I then use baking soda and water paste as a mask, let dry, then moisten, exfoliate the raised acne away and rinse.. use this treatment once a week.. both products cause initial redness and a burning sensation.. you will need time, just a little, after using this. ending rinse with cold water helps

Pros:

Works quickly on breakouts
Helps with hyperpigmination.
Overall very impressive results.

Cons:

The smell, but you get used to it. It also dries out your skin, so make sure you use a moisturizer along with it.

I've been using it for about a week and a half and one side of my face is just about completely acne free, save for a pimple or two, which is a huge improvement. The other side has always been much worse, but it's definitely a work in progress thanks to this treatment. Thankfully, it's also been helping with the hyperpigmentation I get as a result from my breakouts. (I dilute it with water and apply it to my entire face at night, let it soak in while I sleep, then wash it off in the morning.)

Pros:

Its a great toner. It balances the pH level of your skin. It is all natural (use only raw, organic ACV) and its inexpensive.

**BRAGG'S ACV**

Cons:

It smells and when you sweat it releases its smell from your pores. But during normal daily activity you should not experience the smell after it dries.

Use it as a drink as well. Before each meal drink two tablespoons. If not to help your skin, it will aid in digestion. Nothing to loose in other words. I use it straight up. Over the years, trying everything under the sun, my skin has become pretty resilient to drying of being over sensitive. I have also mixed it with some fresh lemon juice in the past. This also reduces the smell. Lemons also supposedly help aid the redness in hyperpigmentation, which has been an issue for me. Just be careful and make smaller batches and refrigerate it so the it stays fresh. I used half ACV, half lemon juice. It may sting or irritate some so dilute the mixture.

Pros:

-Shrinks zits
-Shortens the life length of zit

Cons:

-smell

OK, so some people apparently use the ACV (Apple Cider Vinegar) all over their face to get rid of red marks or whatever, but I personally just use it as remedy for pesky zits that appear every now and then. All I do is take a Q-Tip and dab it into the jar of ACV, I then add wet the Q-Tip w/ a tiny bit of water, so that one end of the Q-Tip has water and ACV fused together. And voila, it usually makes them disappear overnight, or a couple days.

Pros:

extremely effective, cheap

Cons:

smell

For at least 10 years, my skin has been super oily and constantly broken out. ACV seriously cuts down the amount of oil on my face. Now my skin feels balanced, healthy, soft--no more shine (finally!!!) I use it twice a day as a toner, diluted 50% with water. Adding a few drops of tea tree oil helps cut down on the smell (which you get used to anyways...doesnt bother me anymore). I have only had a few new spots since starting (they were hormone-related), and I am so happy to have found this. plus sad that I didn't discover it earlier! Plus, it's ridiculously cheap. Try it--you will love it!
