Pros:

Clears up your skin pretty fast, Makes pimples go away faster, Prevents new pimples, Really cheap

Cons:

Smells really bad, but it goes away

I use this for my chest and back. I used Olay creme ribbons body wash two weeks ago, and it made my chest and back breakout. I have since switched to using the Caress glowing touch soap and a wash cloth. I apply the vinegar (white distilled) as a "toner" to my back and chest after I have showered. It smells icky, and it stings a little bit, but it's nothing big. My back and chest are looking a lot better now. The breakouts are going away pretty fast. I wouldn't use this on my face because that skin is really sensitive, and I wouldn't want to irritate it. But for my back and chest, it's perfect! I will totally keep using this, especially during the summer. I want to wear my cute tops.

Pros:

Affordable---really affordable
Has a peeling agent
Lessened the visibility of my scars
In 4 days saw a result

Cons:

Smell
Stings a bit
Did have new pimples
I stopped all other treatment
Didnt use make up
I was mostly indoors

I have been finding a way how to lessen the acne scar on my face and i have tried diamond peel already so I'm terrified about abrasive procedures.. I already spent enough to acne so i was trying to find a natural remedy. i read a thread about Vinegar and a doctor suggested it, not just a poster who heard it from someone who heard it from someone..i was thinking what the heck.. Been battling for acne about 18 years now.. Tried everything i could. And i already have a vinegar at home.. Hinode vinegar is what i use, its a type of rice vinegar. And its quite effective. My scars lessened and i could actualy cover up my face. Before even if i use make up its soooo. I didnt expect a miracle but at least i saw an effect and didnt spend at all. Thanks! :D

Pros:

even skin (tones and scars, pigment)
reducing redness in marks

Cons:

smelly, acidic. i don't use it if i'm in a rush.

Treating skin involves many products. Each product is a piece of clearing your skin. And sometimes the problem isn't acne, or what's left from acne. I recently read a thread about fungus causing some skin problems... i used to suffer from tinea versicolor. I'm striving for soft, rosy skin. (fish oil, ACV, Betaine, probiotics, evening primrose, avoiding calorie dense WHITE (and enriched) foods.

Pros:

-WORKS
-Cleared up my skin w/in 1 week
-Haven't broken out in the 3 weeks I've been using it, except for when I got my period and got 1 breakout

Cons:

-You have to get used to the smell

I used it twice a day, as a toner. I'd pour a little bit into a cup, then mix with the same amount of water, and dab it all over my face like a toner, then moisterize. Do this morning and night. Make SURE you get the ORGANIC kind. It smells better and contains more of the natural ingrediants that aren't filtered out. I also drank it- which has helped alot too. I drink 2 tsp 3 times a day, mixed with orange juice. At first, I had 7-8 breakouts on my face at once, within 1 week, existing breakouts cleared, within 3 weeks, all were gone, and red marks are fading slowly. Definately would recommend it. It's a miracle lol

Pros:

Skin is clearing, feeling of lightness

Cons:

None

I began drinking ACV when reading about all the health benefits it provides, and in the meantime noticed my skin began to clear. I am 30 yrs old and never had acne until I turned about 27. My chin would break out so bad it was embarrassing to leave the house and even go shopping, or go to work. I've tried many products as well, but nothing has worked as well as ACV. I just found this website and decided I will start using it as a toner as well. Can't hurt to double up! I will let you know how that goes. PS., by drinking it, my digestion has gotten better, my stomach is never bloated, I feel lighter and I have more energy. This is a cure-all!

Pros:

Works well for helping to reduce existing pimples, seems to help prevent new ones, skin feels softer and reduces redness.

Cons:

The smell.

Been using this for a few weeks, and I'm pleasantly surprised. I use Bragg's Organic Apple Cider Vinegar, diluted to 50%. The smell doesn't last too long fortunately. After showering, I use a cotton ball soaked with it to gently cleanse.
