Vinegar (as a topical)

This stuff is good, but the smell is almost unbearable. I mean I'm already self conscious about my skin and NOW I gotta deal with this funk as well! So I started to apply rosewater spray with a couple drops of tea tree oil added to it afterwards to counter the smell and inflammation. I use a 50/50 mix of ACV and water as an all over toner and use it straight up undiluted on my keloids. Definitely works on zits and red marks left from acne, but the jury is still out on my keloids. Faded em quite a bit after a week, but still too early to tell. I got the whole foods 365 brand organic and unpasteurized. I also drink 2 cap fulls twice daily.

I got a spray bottle from a $2 store and fill with a mixture of 80% Vinegar to 20%Witchhazel water. I spray across my back and shoulders (the affected area) and leave for 5-10mins before getting into the shower

THIS IS AN UPDATE! I posted my history a few posts below. It did work for me for about a month. I think skin just gets use to topical remedies and always ends up beating them. I think if I lay off of the vinegar and use something else for a few weeks it will most likely work again. I still say it works great though, when it does work HA!

I used this for a week topically by dabbing it on my shoulders, chest, and face and found the redness of my blemishes to go down. On top of that it itched like crazy on my chest and shoulders! Bottom line: not as good as I expected :( But don't give up!

After hearing such great reviews about ACV I finally started using it and in the first couple weeks it did work great on existing acne. Pimples would go away within a couple days which didn't happen as quickly as using BP cream. Also marks left from old acne started fading way. At first I thought this was a miracle and replaced using BP with this. It worked well until I noticed that it doesn't work well to prevent future acne. During my time of the month when I break out a lot, it was really bad, so right now I'm back to using BP. I think ACV is great if you have a pimple or mark you really want to remove because it works a lot faster than BP, but ACV doesn't help to prevent future acne. It also will dry out your skin :/

Alright so I've been on all kinds of dermatologist prescribed drugs which simply didn't work. I stumbled across apple cider vinegar on the internet and decided to research it. I found a lot of people claiming this was the product that "cured" their acne. My hopes were very high. I bought some regular apple cider vinegar at the store and started applying it topically 2 times daily. I also bought apple cider vinegar pills and took them 3 times daily because I heard these were key to clear skin. The vinegar applied topically seemed to work at first; I thought I found my miracle cure! I still got zits, but nothing like I had got before. I gave it time and stuck to my routine feeling like my skin would eventually be clear. However the one thing I noticed throughout the process was that I was getting more lesion like pimples (the big red ones that form underneath the skin) than before. So right now it is the fifth week of this treatment and I am deciding to get back on my meds (doxycycline). I'm still going to use the apple cider vinegar as a toner but I feel like it is not a cure all by itself. I feel the acv worked great the first couple of weeks but these huge lesion zits are just killing it for me. I'm hoping my prescribed meds can help in combination with acv. However, it worked great on my back acne (which was pretty bad) so I'm really thankful I found a solution for that!

I started using Braggs ACV on my face and the next day, I had broken out worse than ever before. I thought they were just purged and would go away in time. Nope! I continued using ACV for weeks and they never cleared. ACV has only worked for me on body acne scars, fading them more and more each day

I came across an article by an underground 1970s cult actress/ icon, Cookie Mueller, who wrote a guide on how to get rid of pimples. She outlined a regimen that involved adding equal parts apple cider vinegar to equal parts water and to apply this directly to the face with a cotton ball every night before bed and every morning. She also prescribed a vitamin intake of Cod Liver Oil; two-tablespoons a day in liquid form and to eat a lot of Brewers Yeast. I followed this regimen for about a month, and got a little dissapointed with the results. I kept following the regimen for about a month longer, and most of my larger pimples had cleared, but the redness and mid to smaller blemishes still remained. I have found other remedies, such as the egg white mask, to work faster and more effectively. Although the vinegar regimen does work somewhat, it takes a very long time to see any results, and the smell makes you think twice if it is really worth it.

Well after reading all these reviews on acne.org i thought i'll give a try to this product; i've had body acne for 5 years now it started when i was 12, i always had a flawless face but my body was/is horrible, my chest and shoulder acne is very mild from the start,i just have a few blackheads and scars which are preventing but my bacne is moderate/severe it's not even been one day since i haven't been depressed about my bacne, i've literally spent all my pocket money over these over the counter crap and still can't get rid of my bacne; but i shall not loose this battle and i will fight till i win. I just hope this product works! *fingers crossed tighgly* am so desperate to get rid of it.

im 15 and have had acne for 3 years nothing ever worked. i bought the acv from a local grocery store maybe thats why its not working for me. do i need braggs organic kind? where can i get it ...
