Vinegar (as a topical)

I use this stuff every night before i go to bed, because of the redness and smell, so i can take a shower in the morning to "wash" it off. I just dab it all over my face with a towel or tissue. Works amazingly well!!!! No other acne products ever worked on me.

Vinegar has helped me a lot! I have extremely oily skin and am prone to very bad hormonal acne breakouts about twice a month; I take spironolactone to regulate that a little and it has helped but my skin was still incredibly oily and I still got periodic break outs. Vinegar has helped dial down the break outs and has made my acne scars fade incredibly fast too!

I had awfully painful cysts on my jawline that popped out of nowhere. They had been there for weeks making me extremely self conscious. I was using acne meds on them but it did nothing but make the area flake. I read somewhere that vinegar works so I tried, having nothing to lose. I applied it directly without diluting it and the pimples started to turn into white-skin lumps. I left it on for a few minutes then washed it off. The next day, most of my cysts disappeared to a few very faint scars. Better than giant red lumps! The ones that were left who significantly reduced and were gone in a few days. I don't recommend applying it all over because it really does dry out skin--don't want to dry out where there aren't any zits!

Vinegar is the greatest thing to have in your house! Works for cleaning everything and it's a beauty product too! You can even use it in your hair....and I hear drinking it helps keep your skin clear too (I haven't tried that!)

It kind of had positive and negative effects for me. Being female, I have monthly cystic acne, plus the occasional little guys. The day I got this, I had a big cyst coming in. It came to a head in 3 days. That's impressive. It also brought to a head some little ones that were lurking around. Yes, I look worse for the moment, but at least that stuff isn't as deep under my skin anymore. The downside was, I had this little patch of about 7 tiny pimples/bumps, and while it brought those to a head, too (therefore they were gone), it also dried that patch on my face out. To fix that, I put acv everywhere but there, and kept lotion on my face and was able to mostly rub the dry spot off today. Far as red marks, I have one really bright one on my forehead that I can't tell if it's fading yet. Still, despite it all, I'd say it's worth it, especially for the price, and I'm gonna hang with it awhile and see what happens.

I have had acne for about 2-3 years now, but i now use apple cider vineger every day about twice a day, and trust me..within a week you wil have smoother skin..and your acne will start going away. For the results, smell doesnt really matter to me!!

I started breaking out as an adult and I've tried everything. I didn't realize I needed to detox my liver, so I turned to ACV. I have only been using Bragg's ACV for 3 days and my skin has changed dramatically! Unlike distilled ACV, the organic, raw, unfiltered kind with the 'mother' is GREAT! I put 2 tbsps of ACV and 1 tsp of raw honey in an 8oz cup of purified water (sometimes hot, sometimes not) twice per day. I also apply a 50/50 combo of water and ACV.

My face-disfiguring acne is totally gone. Treats existing acne wonderfully, but doesn't necessarily prevent it. Use a benzoyl peroxide product to prevent acne, and use it consistently. However, keep a bottle handy to treat any pimples that may pop up now & then! Personally, the majority of my improvement came when I started applying it undiluted to my trouble spots. I found that drinking it is not necessary.

I love drinking apple cider (BRAGG ONLY!!!) i drink it 3x daily and thought I would try washing my face with it...well...at first it was great, i just kind of randomly poured a bit of vinegar into a bowl with pure water and put some BRAGG olive oil on afterwards..My skin looked perfect! Then i got a little crazy and tried a 50/50 dilution my face became so dry i thought i had ruined it for life:( no amount of moisturizer could bring it back!! luckily my skin is back to its former suppleness, but i wouldnt mind trying it again, my skin looked great when i must have used a cup of pure water and like 2 tbls acv TOPS!! you must moisturize afterwards try olive oil like just a few drops

Started drinking about 2 tablespooons a day and using a 50:50 mix with water topically. Although I did have a creakout about a week or two after I started using it, my face has cleared dramatically. I have now been using it for about a month and my face is clear. I got one pimple the other day but it was so small. I used to get large cystic acne. It is by far the best thing I have ever used. I have also noticed that red marks are starting to really fade.
