Vinegar (as a topical)

i started drinking braggs apple cider vinegar about ten days ago and noticed that the "barely there" acne was going away and had no new break outs. i was a little skeptical about using the acv as a toner but decided it was worth a try. i have been using it as a toner mixing acv with water in equal parts. again, i have no knew break outs which is a really good sign but i cannot for the live of me get rid of this really difficult pimple. hopefully the acv is just preventing it from getting worse but it does seem to take the redness out of it. even though its been about a week and a half of using this product i am happy with the results.

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.

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?

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.

i am using ACV in a ratio with water of 1:1, it works to exfoliate the skin, however there're still some breakouts... red marks seem fading, i will wait and see.. NEVER USE IT NEAT, i have tried once and did burn my skin and stinging

i dont dilute it at all. i use straight balsamic vinegar, not apple cider vinegar because we don't use that in the house too much. i leave it on for around 4-6 minutes to dry up a bit (yes your face will look brown) and then i rinse it off with warm to hot water. definitely works!!! warning: stings!!! don't get any vinegar in your eyes or mouth...tatses gross and can burn your eyes.

works great, the smell is really not that bad

I needed a quick fix. I was having a great hair day and needed a great looking face to go with it! The problem was that I had run out of my face wash and BP a week ago and didn't have enough money to buy more for another 4 days. The result was a horrible break out that just kept getting worse! I haven't had whiteheads for months, but now there were 3-4 on each cheek! It was a disaster and leaving the house looking so awful was just painful and I really didn't want anyone to look at me... After my shower, I dipped cotton balls in apple cider vinegar and applied it to my problem areas. At first, I couldn't handle the smell! But it went away with time. Also, they got worse looking. After an hour, though, the horrible redness was almost completely gone and my pimples weren't as big as they were before! And my whiteheads were gone! They weren't the quick fix I was looking for, but they definately worked! I'm going to use this vinegar more often and see where it gets me!

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.

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.
