Vinegar (as a topical)

I've tried applying apple cider vinegar to my back, chest, shoulders, and face. So far, it seems to work okay. It slows breakouts down but doesn't eliminate them. It seemed to make my face acne practically disappear within two days or so, but we'll see. I apply it to the areas with a cotton ball, allow it to dry and wash in the morning, or leave on for a few hours and wash off. I will start a regimen and update in a few weeks.

I've only been using this for a few weeks and man it cleared the Breakout I had on the side of my face and chin.it truly is a great home remedy to use for cheap!The smell is bad but when I put it on my face it actually doesn't leave that bad of a smell.I usually just use the acv just like that with no water.I think its better like that,well for me at least.I hope it continues on to work better and better. Oh yeah I got the acv at trader Joe's for 1.49 very cheap then any other acne meds I ever gotten.

i have severe acne on my back. been with it for over 10 years. i tried the usual medication prescribed by doctors but nothing helped so i gave up. i came upon this site and decided to try the solution. i have been using ACV (mixed with water and tea tree oil) for two weeks now and so far i like what i'm seeing. my blackheads were completely wiped off and my back is smoother. the scars have not disappeared yet but some became lighter. there is about 30% improvement on my skin since i began using it. however, the acne still would not stop. about one or two would still pop up. But there is definitely improvement.

im glad that i tried using braggs acv for my acne. synergistic effect is achieved when it is applied topically as astringent and when it is taken internally daily. it dries up acne, makes pores smaller and overall gives a glowy clear clean smooth face.

Not everything works for everybody sense we're all different and have different body chemistry but it can't hurt to try it -- you might be pleasantly surprised. I'm a 30 year old black female and have suffered from ance breakouts since age 13. I've tried every acne product on the market and spent thousands of dollars on weekly spa facials. Nothing to this date has completely stopped new breakouts from happening but, I've been using BRAGGS ORGANIC ACV both INTERNALLY (2 teaspoons with 8 ounces of water twice a day) and EXTERNALLY (as a toner mixed with purified water) for going on 2 weeks and my complexion has never looked better. I'm glowing and I have had very minimal (one pimple on my brow line) breakout since starting my new regimen. I drink the AVC mixture first thing in the AM, I wash my face with DDF Blemish Foaming Cleanser, tone with my AVC mixture and then apply my mosturizer with sunscreen which, I've added a few drops of pure vitamin E oil to and repeat again in the evening. So far so good -- Wish me luck!

helped my sister, A LOT with her bacne. nothing helped her, proactiv didn't, and a bunch of other things didn't. we were all surprised when the cheapest thing she tried, worked!

I have suffered from acne for years. (I am now 23 yrs) I drink 8-12 glasses of water a day and still I was getting break outs. I realized that I had a hormonal imbalance, so I am on tri-cylcen along with that I am using the apple cider. It significantly helped fade my scars and changed the texture of my skin (smoother now). It took about a month before I saw results. Be patient, educate yourself (ph balance, poor diet, not enough water, hormones, allerigic reactions, product reactions (i.e. costume earings that touch your face), lack of sleep, stress, products that are irritating the skin ect.) Good luck you guys, hope this helped a bit!

I use this as a toner with water and it has improved the overall look of my skin, and I drink a lot of it with water as well during the day (good appetite suppressant). When I first started using ACV I used waaaaaay to much of the straight stuff as spot treatment - bad idea! The acne got worse and even produced more pus as they were supposed to be healing ?!?! After about a month I still have red marks where the spots were, but at least they have healed (using aspirin as an alternative spot treatment). So stick with ACV as a light toner and drink, and use aspirin if you need treatment on specific areas.

Please add a small drop of acv to a small amount of mint julep clay and mix...apply to a pimple(doesn't always work on those deep ones) and apply to the pimple. It will completely clear up the pimple within a few hours, it never fails me and both products are soo cheap!

I use it as an astringent twice daily...and I haven't had any problems. Granted, it's not a cure-all, but it hasn't made my skin any worse.
