Pros:

Balances skin oiliness and pH, heals cystic acne.

Cons:

Strong smell, if not diluted

I mix 8 parts non-tap water to 1 part vinegar in an atomizer (fine mist spray bottle). It is a staple in my regimen since I've always believed in toners.

Pros:

Prevented acne completely. It is the only thing that has ever made pimples actually stop "growing" and disappear.

Cons:

the smell...you can't really notice it once it dries, but people have been able to smell it on me once they got close...like REALLY close. It also burns a little when you put it on your skin...make sure to dilute it...trust me I learned the hard way

works great, the smell is really not that bad

Pros:

Smoothes and clears bad skin like no other product. Really cheap

Cons:

Smells like vinegar, stings eyes

I have really oily skin, acv didnt work so well. I found red wine vinegar with 8 percent acid. Works a dream, i have tough skin and apply it neat after each shower just once a day, unless i do sports. 2 weeks and my skin is nearly clear, no new breakouts, and current spots are healing quickly. Dont expect it to clear overnight, but skin is softer and smoother from the first use.

Pros:

uhm, well it seems to work.

Cons:

it smells bloody awful and the taste makes me want to vomit.

I started this a few days ago with the recommended beverage of iced water and 2 tbsp a few times a day. it was very difficult for me to stomach this concoction so I've since just done 2 tbps barely dilluted and swallow fast like a shot glass. It's rough but it's over quicker and then I drink a tall glass of water. I've also diluted ACV 50/50 with purified water and applying to my face each night before bed and leaving it there. My dog thinks I'm nuts and wants to lick my face but it is working even after only three days I can tell the difference. True test is time. I've often found that remedies work right away and then go very bad about a week or two later, so we shall see here.

Pros:

It works

Cons:

the smell

The vinegar not only treats acne, but it prevents it. When you wash your face, you wash off a protective layer. That layer would take anywhere from 5 minutes to a few hours to return. During that time any bacteria could get back into your pores. The vinegar puts the layer back on right away.

Pros:

Smaller pores
No new acne
Reduction of size/swelling with current pimples

Cons:

Obviously it smells bad, that's about it

I have only been on it one day, and I am seeing a difference. It's not like a 'PRAISE JESUS MY ACNE IS COMPLETELY GONE' kind of thing, but it is helping. Today not one new pimple formed. Which is remarkable. Everyday basically 3 or 4 new peoples would slowly surface deep under my skin, but today there were none. This gave me a little hope, cause I'm basically at the point where I just want to break down crying cause I honestly give up. This is what I have been doing. I went to Target and bought one of those little spray bottles. I then went to a local grocery market (that has organic things) and I bought BRAGG's organic apple cider vinegar. I then diluted it to a 1:1 ratio (ACV:H20) and sprayed it on to a cotton ball and put it all over my face (AFTER washing my face and letting it dry a bit of course) I also found BRAGG's apple cider vinegar all natural drink (apple - cinnamon), which was like a 'hallelujah' moment because earlier I was trying to drink apple cider vinegar diluted with water and that was ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING. Not that the apple cider vinegar all natural drink (apple - cinnamon) is very much better, but it is MUCH MORE TOLERABLE. Even though it is disgusting, I strongly suggest drinking it too. Acne is not only superficial, but can be caused by an internal imbalance as well. And I believe the apple cider vinegar will help that. If you're at your wits end like I am, the smell and taste is a tiny price to pay for some relief.
