Vinegar (as a topical)

i have tried EVERYTHING over the years! i am 34 and i've battled with acne since i was about 12 or 13. i no longer want to take antibiotics, prescriptions or use harsh chemicals..i'm over it! i have been taking 50 mg of zinc, 2000 mg of fish oil, 1000-2000 mg of vitamin c, acidophilus, and vitamin b complex for about a month. i have been using braggs orgainc acv for about a week as a topical and it has been really wonderful! my complexion hasn't looked this good in years! i urge you to try it! be sure to use a oil free moisturizer as it may dry your skin out a bit! i wash with dermalogica clay cleanser and i have cut out dairy and sugar from my diet as well!

After trying everything from Pro Active, DDF, and even Dermabrasion, I was ready to give up. I heard about AVC and how it helps prevent acne, so I decided to give it a shot. I bought "Bragg" since it had the most success stories. This stuff does not mess around. After 2 days I noticed a huge difference in my acne disappearing along with the redness. I did not dilute the AVC and applied it once in the morning and once at night after washing my face. Thank you Bragg!!!

I've only been using it for about a three days, and I can already see some good results. I've gotten really tired of using all of those horrible factory-made cleansers and washes, because all of them I've used dry out my skin and make it look leathery and aged until it is removed (ex. benzoyl peroxide.) I've been searching forever for a good way to clear up acne naturally, and in judgment of these reviews, I think I made have found one trustworthy enough ;) Oh... and I sort of like the smell.

im 15 and have had acne for 3 years nothing ever worked. i bought the acv from a local grocery store maybe thats why its not working for me. do i need braggs organic kind? where can i get it ...

I was surprised. I was using non organic ACV for a week and it seemed to do nothing. But I bought a bottle of braggs organic ACV since it was only $4, nothing to lose. And after 2 days of using it, I went from 15 so pimples down to 3 now. Again, I was surprised. Stuff's so cheap, and it by far beats the hundreds of products that I've tried and spend hundreds on.

works great, the smell is really not that bad

I'm in my 30's, never had problems with pimples, bumps, black/whiteheads etc until recently. I also have very dry and sensitive skin, so anything like Retinol would make my skin super red and flaky. On the hunt for a skin miracle, I ran across the ACV routine. At first I used it with a backing soda wash, which was to harsh on my skin. Now I wash my face with a 50/50 mix of water and Braggs ACV (takes the make up and mascara off perfectly) and then apply a thin layer of straight ACV on my moist skin without washing it off. Even though my skin is very dry, I don't need to use a moisturizer since after the initial couple of minutes of dryness, my skin becomes soft and dewy. My pores almost disapeared, my skin problems are almost gone after 2 days. This stuff is fantastic and I wish I had known about it years ago. I'm also drinking it 3 times a day and it helps great forheartburn. LOVE IT.

Since getting pregnant I have been suffering from hormone-induced acne-- and I thought I would be all glowing and pretty!! I was afraid to use anything chemical to treat it so I figured "Hey, apple cider vinegar cures EVERYTHING, right? I'll try that!" I read the recommendations to dilute it, but ignored all that and just applied it directly all over my freshly washed face, and then swallowed a few swigs. It tingled and stung my skin a little bit, but my skin felt really smooth and healthy when it dried. The next day, all of my acne was GONE except for a few of the larger bumps (which had significantly dried and gotten smaller).... wow, talk about a miracle cure, eh? So yes, I HIGHLY recommend apple cider vinegar for treating acne, and it also works for eczema, allergies, stomach/bowel issues, and a million other things. I ONLY use Braggs brand raw organic unfiltered apple cider vinegar complete with "mother of vinegar" in it. Quality is very important for certa

The only product (i used distilled malt vinegar which i found worked just as well as ACV) that has had a real affect on my acne. I apply it with a cotton bud in the evening and leave on all night. You should see a noticeable difference within a few days. If i don't apply it a couple of nights i begin to break out badly again. Hasn't cleared my skin 100% but it has cleared it to a level i am pretty happy with and not always worried or embarrassed about. I strongly suggest you try it.

as i said, things get worse before they get better. at least they did for me. i was ready to give up. have been using ACV for a week now and my skin is 95% better. i have NEVER had skin this clear. unbelievable!!!
