Pros:

For the first time in my life, I've been told I have beautiful skin! ACV leaves your face plump, glowing, and smooth. It brings your blackheads to the surface and you just rub it off. Changed my zits into pores.

Cons:

Smells bad...but I use it at night only and it goes away.

It's cheap and it works. I use only organic ACV and just pour a few drops into rose water and use it as a toner. My skin looks fresh.

Pros:

lightens red marks
shrinks up residual material from cystic acne, boils, etc.

Cons:

can be irritating if not diluted enough

i have been putting heinz white vinegar on my face for 1 week, concentrating on a lumpy area that used to be a big boil. The area where I had the boil is hyperpigmented and makes it look worse. I was desperate to lighten the red/purple mark and shrink up the lumpy stuff under my skin from the boil. Within 2 days of using this on my face I noticed a big difference in my skin. After a week the red spot is noticeably lighter and the lump has flatened out so much. I have been using 1 tsp of vinegar to 5-7 tsps of water for my entire face and 1 to 3 for the boil area. After 10-15 minutes I put cetaphil on my face and wipe off with a cloth, then moisturize with emu oil, aloe vera gel, and vitamin e oil (the latter only on the cheeks). This has really helped my face and I recommend it highly to anyone who suffers from acne or boils.

Pros:

WORKS! It got rid of all my pimples and whiteheads within five days. AFFORDABLE! Most likely, you already have it in your house waiting to be put to good use.

Cons:

At first - the smell. But it doesn't phase me anymore.

Go ahead and try it - give it a couple weeks to see how it affects your skin. Chances are it's your key to a clear face. I use regular white vinegar, and I DON'T dilute with water. After I remove my make-up with Neutrogena Cream Cleanser I pour some on a cotton ball and just swipe my face and leave it on for ten minutes before I wash with my OXY Face Wash with 10% BP. Once my face dries, I spot treat with the Equate 10% BP cream from Wal-Mart for $2.00. I have been using this method for about 3 months now and my face has COMPLETELY transformed. Good luck <3

Pros:

No new pimples the next day
Evened complexion out
Feels good on the skin

Cons:

Smells like vinegar (well what would u expect)

Good stuff, Read a lot of reviews then bought and tried, I would recommend it as its cheap, easy and seems to work so far, I dunno what y'all are on about with diluting it though, I use it full strength as a toner all over my face, it did not make my face red and only stung for a second, also my face didn't feel any dryer the next morning, Suck it up and try it without water, I don't see why anyone would have to dilute it 1/10 or even 1/1 for christs sake.

Pros:

Works for acne on the scalp.

I came looking for this topic because I suspected it worked--I've been rinsing my hair (and massaging the scalp) with vinegar after shampooing and acne on the scalp has been reduced: a surprising "extra" since I was using vinegar for softer hair. 2 T. white vinegar in a cup of warm water. Slowly pour it on so that you can massage it into the scalp. Sometimes I leave it on for a minute or two. Then rinse off and use whatever other hair conditioner you usually use. The vinegar removes soap deposits and makes the hair very soft. No smell afterward.

Pros:

Cleared up acne in MINUTES, reduced redness in no time.

Cons:

Somewhat strong smell.

I had these deep red dots and spots on my face, and I've tried everything from proactiv to special soaps to anti-acne medication to Burt's Bees anti-blemish stick (which helped for a while then stopped working, like my acne grew resistance to it.) It's just a pain in the arse tox deal with what acne I have, and all of the blackheads. I figured the acne was more noticable at first, so that was my top priority. I finally heard about the vinegar treatment and within minutes, the deep red spots went to very light pink and the next day all my acne was completely gone. That was the most impressive thing I've ever seen!

cheap and easy and it works fast

Cons:

tastes nasty

I've been using this for three days, drinking 3 to 4 cap fulls a day as well as applying 50/50 water vinegar in the morning and at night and applying pure vinegar on problem spots. My skin looks great.
