Worth a try
Good so far for me , been 2 -3 weeks and almost all skin is clear. I always moisturise as it can dry skin after applying mix of acv/water. Worth a try if you have acne!

So, so
About 3 moths ago I started using Braggs acv diluted as a toner. At first I was very excited because of the positive reviews It had, but soon to be my 3rd month using it, it has done a mediocre job. I wonder if it's because I use salicylic gel after it, or BP, then moisturize. I really wanted to work, If any of you guys could answer my question of should I be using BP or salicylic acid after the toner it would really help? :(

Don't use anything else except the ACV, you are using to many products at once. Try mixture of honey and sugar, wash face with what ever you use, then use the honey blend (1 Tablespn of each) scrub with clean fingers or pad from forehead to chin the entire face. Rinse with cold water dry face apply ACV ratio 1:1 with water, then try rosehip oil as moisturizer, don use anything else try for a week or 2. Try not to use other products, facial cleanser should be african black soap or goats milk soap. you mix rosehip with sweet almond oil or coconut oil etc. (some people just use rosehip right out of the bottle) you are using drops. ACV Bragg's is the best brand, try this, good luck!

BE WARY IF YOU HAVE SENSITIVE SKIN
I tried ACV (Apple Cider Vinegar) mixed with water for a good two weeks, but my pimples only got redder and bigger and my face was left significantly more irritated than before.

Pros:

Works very well
Safer for skin
Great for all over and on-the-spot treatments
Cheap

Cons:

Smells bad

This stuff is kind of amazing. I'm really surprised that more people don't know about it. My acne typically isn't all that terrible, but I AM terrible about picking at them and will often make even small blemishes into scabby atrocities. Sometimes I have gotten those big painful cyst-type zits. I've been using apple cider vinegar for about 1.5 months and it had kept my face really clear, even during my menstrual cycle. I dilute it with about 25% water, and apply it to problem areas in the evening with a Q-tip. I wash my face in the morning to get rid of the stink. I've been using a natural emu oil, tea tree oil, and eucalyptus oil soap; and jojoba as a moisturizer. It's all going great and my skin looks better than it has in a long time. If I notice one forming, I make sure to put the vinegar on that spot and it never really progresses and just fades away. Great alternative to chemical laden treatments like Proactive (which worked for me, but I found the BP was having ill effects on my skin quality).

Pros:

+Some noticeable improvement after a week or two
+Cheap as
+Stings...so it must be working

Cons:

-A bit smelly
-Can leave a pinkish glow

I got a spray bottle from a $2 store and fill with a mixture of 80% Vinegar to 20%Witchhazel water. I spray across my back and shoulders (the affected area) and leave for 5-10mins before getting into the shower

Pros:

Clears your skin of all acne

Cons:

Acne can come back worst
Smells bad
Burns

I tried this remedy after reading about it on here. Within a week my skin was pretty clear, then totally clear after two weeks. A month into it though my skin retaliated and it came back worst. On top of my regular and cystic zits, I started to break out into a ton of little zits all over my forehead. Back to the drawing board! It may work for you though. Worth a shot.

Pros:

Cheap, effective, fast results

Cons:

Stinks and makes your eyes tear up when you apply it. Pretty drying, so don't skimp on moisturizer.

This was a desperate attempt to get rid of my awful red marks -- though my acne is under control with SA, the red marks make it look like I'm covered in zits anyway! I just rub it all over on my face, undiluted, a few times a day, and moisturize thoroughly after each application. This is probably way too much for most people (so be careful!), and stinks horribly until it dries, but it works for me. 6 years of ugly crimson macules have faded away to a light pink in only a few days, and my skin has a nice glow to it. At this rate, I'll look like I was born with perfect, dewy skin by the end of the month. Best fiver I ever spent!
