Didn't really work for me. Irritating and yet didn't seem to reduce cystic acne significantly. Only for the lightest of cases of acne.

I got even skin tone after using ACV toner but still get new breakouts one after the other... :(
i am experiencing regular breakouts especially during my monthly period... I read that ACV can help treat acne... 3 days after using it, i noticed that it dried the acne and the marks... however, on one hand, new breakouts come out in other parts of the face even my period had gone out... though, on the other hand, i noticed that my skin tone got even and glowed... Is it a natural thing that i still get new pimples even continued use of ACV toner? I read acne's causes also has something to do with diet... I eat more of carbs (rice and bread), and daily vegetables and fruits and less fast/instant food, less sweets and almost no caffeine...

Sugar might be it,but most people want the external treatment when they really need to ACV internally for several weeks to see results. Also Rosehip oil excellent for the skin check it out on google! 2Tablspns ACV & 4oz. water add honey, but I just down it straight down my throat without tasting it; do this once a day. Good thoughts to you!

Pros:

Skin Glows

Cons:

I don't know if it works

I have read every comment on every website and have no idea how this works or doesn't work. I have been using ACV topically once a day and drinking 2 tbsp/2x a day for 2 weeks. I have had acne for 15 years but now I have counted seven huge cysts on my face and neck. I don't get it. Is it trying to get all the toxins out of my body? I will continue to look like the elephant man for another month but that is all I am giving it. I hope it clears up soon. They hurt!

Pros:

Works for some people, I guess

Cons:

Redness, dryness, itching, severe skin damage in some places

TEST this product on a small area before you use it. My skin reacted very badly to ACV -- I developed a rash that turned into a crust of dead skin... definitely not a 'fix' for my acne. Taken internally, tastes horrible and causes acid reflux. Exercise caution! Consult a naturopath before you use this product.

Pros:

Nothing.

Cons:

Brings old acne back and starts up new spots.

Bottom line is not all treatments will work for you. This treatment may be good for some but this treatment only made my acne worse. I gave it 2 weeks, found the dilusion that was most agreeable with my skin, but really I am so mad that it brought back spots that were in my mind no longer trouble spots that I can not begin to tell ya- so I won't. This treatment is terrible... for my skin type.

Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

Destroys skin

This is the most drying thing I've ever done to my skin. It makes me break out worse. At first it seems to dry up the acne, then it just scabs and make horrible marks all over my face and it dries my face out so badly that no amount of ANY lotion could save it. It takes me weeks to repair the damage. I've even tried diluting it to about 12:1 water to vinegar and it just does nothing for me. Guess nothing works for everyone.

Pros:

none

Cons:

smell, burned skin

Smells awful, burned my skin (however I did apply it undiluted which probably wasn't smart). I have very sensitive skin, and about 1 minute after applying ACV my skin turned bright red and tender. i rinsed and thankfully the redness subsided in a few minutes but I would not recommend this for sensitive skin.

Pros:

good for hair rinsing, not acne scars

Cons:

not good for scars

Guys lets not kid ourselves here...most people on this site have moderate-severe acne and 5% acetic acid (vinegar) is not going to do anything for scars no matter what anyone tells you...The only things that will help are high percentage lactic/glycolic acid peels done weekly...your just going to waste your time with this stuff and stink at the same time.
