Purging or breakout?? 😳
After the first day of drinking acv diluted with water, I got swelling bumps and a liitle cystic acne (about 1-3). Is my skin purging? Should I not stop drinking it and just continue? How long will the purging last? :(

Probably Purging. It takes a month until you notice any difference. And then 2-5 months to see significant improvement. However, if you don't see any difference within a month, I'd say it doesn't suit your skin, and you are reacting to it. It takes time.

Temporary
This worked temporarily on my body, but after about a week of use it had diminishing returns and just dried out my skin.

Pros:

I'll let you know in another week or so, if there are.

Cons:

....it doesn't work?

Reading all these reviews on here really upsets me; I REALLY REALLY wanted this to work. I went out and bought a small bottle of the Bragg Apple Cider Vinegar, and worked it into my regime as a toner. The claims that in 24 hours you'll have better skin is complete BS, sorry. Me? I got an even WORSE breakout. For awhile, I wasn't really having any new pimples, just old ones and red marks that would NEVER go away. The morning after I started using ACV, i got 5 new pimples all in one area. I now have pretty bad inflammatory acne along my jawline and it seems more red marks scattered about my left cheek. People tell me "it gets worse before it gets better," and while that doesn't really make ANY sense to me, I'm gritting my teeth and sticking with it for another two weeks or so. Who knows, I may be back eating my words, but I doubt it. I've pretty much given up on the thought of ever having nice skin.

Pros:

research tells that it works(its acid, it kills the yeast or bacteria) so you may feel a backup and it has somehow stoped flaking in the 3 days Ive used it.

Cons:

the smell and the initial redness

seems to work, Ill give it a couple more of weeks, the feedback is too good to believe it. Im very skeptic but this seems to work so Ill just hope for the best. I wont recomend yet till I see the ending results in 2 weeks.

Pros:

Soft skin

Cons:

burns.
smells disgusting.
it made my blemishes look even more red!!

Ok i've tried everything from proactiv to just plain water. nothing seems to work. i read about using ACV and i've been using it for about 2 days now. my pimples appear to be even more red but my skin feels soft. i didn't use organic ACV. is that why?

Pros:

none

Cons:

dried my face out really bad and gave me little burn marks on a few places on my face

I decided to try it when I heard all the hype about ACV. Well I used it for about a week and didn't notice anything spectacular. Then I started realizing there were a few places on my face where it looked like the ACV had eaten through me good skin. I only used it at night and I had it diluted to three parts water one part ACV. Maybe it works for some people but not me.

Pros:

when i drank it i lost a few kilos :)

Cons:

skin went ballistic - pimples everywhere (although that might have been because homemade acne treatments aren't supposed to be used)

I still take a natural approach for my acne but i do more of an internal thing rather than an external thing. Perhaps because i bought the premium brand, my forehead broke out but I doubt i'd ever use acv again. My advice: -use organic -test if your skin goes nice with it.

Pros:

Cheap

Cons:

Smell/taste

I recently picked up some ACV and have been using it topically as well as drinking a small amount daily. After a week i can see SOME results although nothing crazy. I bought White House brand ACV and people are telling me that organic is much better. Does it really matter if i use organic?
