Pros:

Cheap, easily accessible

Cons:

It can dry skin out really fast of you're sensitive.
The smell isn't the best.

ACV works wonders and I love this site, it has been SO helpful! I'm 25 and used so many treatments, been to the doctor, and I love this one most for an astringent. I dilute it half water half ACV, and I drop about 10 aspirin in too. I also drink it 3x a day. I mix 2tblsp ACV with 2tsp honey, and 8oz. of water. I drink it fast and brush my teeth soon after. The ACV isn't good for teeth.

Pros:

Throw away all the lying, chemical, money grubbing products you have foolishly blown your hard earned money on, and buy apple cider vinegar. Can't hurt your face, its impossible. And works great.

Cons:

Well, if you have a girlfriend she won't like the smell of vinegar at night wafting over her.

Won't dry you skin, kills all bacteria, makes skin smooth and happy, heals all types of acne, especially eliminates swelling and irritation. In the morning you will probably see some little white heads, that's your acne receding. Better than an irritated battlefield of pain. I apply full strength. Its up to you: $300 for a few months of Zenmed that makes it worse, or a $3 bottle of Bragg. Never use more than 3 ingredients on your face, that's my theory now.

Pros:

Clears up cystic acne, helps with existing acne(moderate to severe),and leaves skin with nice glow!

Cons:

Stings a bit

Once I read about this stuff about a year ago on another website,I laughed it off,thinking whats that gona do for me? But soon after I had given up on all other things. I was suffering with extreme cystic acne. Right after I started using this, about 2 weeks to a month later my cystic acne was immedietly cleared. I still get moderate acne pimples but nothing like it used to be!

Good product
Apple vinegar is very useful product for face as well as hair, it needs only the continuity in treatment to give nice results.

Works great
I use this as an after face wash rinse when I'm in the shower. I dilute about 1/4 of a cup of Apple cider vinegar in about 2 cups of water. Then I add like 15-25 drops lavender essential oil into the mix. I wash my face, then spray the mixture onto my hand and then apply it to my face. I leave it on my face about 5 seconds (eyes and mouth closed obviously lol) and then wash it off. Works great, controls oils, clears my complexion. ACV has vitamin C in it so don't wear this sh*t outside, it will cause sun damage. Use only at night before bed and wash it off in the morning.

You have to stick with it!!!
I have had really bad acne for as long as I can remember, I'm 18 now. I started using Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar sticky in the beginning of June. I've tried drinking it in the past, but the taste was just to much for me! Tried putting it on my face a while back and never stuck with it through the purging. So in June I used it for about 2 weeks with no change in my face at all. During the 3 week I starting breaking out. I said this time I'm not stopping, it's only purging. Into the 4th week the purging had stopped and began to clear. I stopped for about 3 days after this and I realized I starting breaking back out so I started back! I have been using it for about a month and 1/2 now and my face looks a lot better then it did when I started. Now it's not completely clear, but it looks a lot better! My forehead has just about no bumps. I still get breakouts, but as long as I keep using the vinegar it's not a lot. I do have to have say the ACV to me seems as if it makes the bumps that so come take longer to come to a head, so they end up lasting longer. When I feel myself getting a bump I don't apply the ACV in that area that way it comes to a head faster. I put it on there after it bust though. Other then that, this is the only thing that I have used that I feel is actually helping my skin, though slowly. My skin feels much more soft and smooth and my breakouts are at a minimum. I am going to continue to use it. I use it every morning and night after I wash my face. My wash my face with a Benzol peroxide wash first, let my face dry out, then take a cotton ball and the ACV diluted with water and rub it all over my face and let it dry! Anyone using this acne treatment really needs to be patient! Keep using it no matter what! ( unless the purging never stops) if it burns your skin, dilute it some more. Since my skin is more so use to it now I dilute it less. I hope this helps!

If you could drink 2Tblspns. with 4oz water once a day, try adding honey, or just down it without it swishing around in your mouth. Double strength acv inside your body and out works to keep acne away! Happy you found acv! How many times has Youtube come to the rescue!

Helps my skin glow but seems to be causing acne
I began using organic vinegar topically (1.6 vinegar/water ratio), and the first day of usage, I had pimples come up all around my mouth and chin. I've heard that vinegar will sometimes "purge" the skin, causing extra pimples before it improves the skin. Is this true (and perhaps I should continue using the vinegar?)?

convinced skeptic

Pros:

dramatically improves skin texture!
cheaper than the expensive 'miricale fixes' that dont really work
makes skin oh so smoooth!!!

Cons:

smell is a bit strong
hard to find Bragg's with the mother

so i have mild to moderate to severe acne, its mainly on my cheeks and jaw line... I usually dont break out with blackheads or white heads, but i get like red bumps, like a zit is forming but it never forms just stays red and bumpy. i have tried many many things and nothing ever got rid of it. some things would make it more mellow but never gone. now i think alot of my red spots are old scars but idk. theres no texture to some of them just red spots. so last night i made a cider vinegar concotion to use as a toner... just using it one and 95% of my bumps were gone, i have smoooth skin for the most part. the redness is still red but not as bad and mind you i only used it ONCE! obvious results after ONE use. my concotion is the following: 1/2 cup water 1/2 cup brags organic ACV 2 bags of green tea leaves dumped into the mixtures, a crushed Zinc Pill and some tea tree oil and RAW organic honey. it smell waaayyy better than just the ACV! so my routine was wash face with my clarisonic, pat dry, apply my toner with a cotton pad not cotton ball. you will see why.... now since there was the green tea leaves loose in the mixture you get the leaves on your face gently rub those leaves all over your face with the cotton pad and leave it on for a few minutes its like an exfoliant. then rinse off the leaves and take another cotton pad and put the toner on it.... the leaves will be on your cotton pad still because its loose in the toner, but the toner obviously soaks through to the other side of the pad, se that side to apply the toner w/out getting any leaves on your face, once it dries, moisturize and then youre good! i never write reviews but i felt this was important to write! alos i drink green tea and and my ACV to my tea and take zinc and fish oil everyday to improve my skin from the inside! good luck
