Vinegar (as a topical)

it made my current acne go away faster.. but the next day i broke out anyway!.. yet i continue to use it.. but now i dilute it with water instead of using it straight out of the bottle. i guess it lightened the marks but it def. doesnt 'stop' acne like everyone says. however.. its a good product and everyone should give it adleast a one week trial

i've tried using acv for a month and it had no effect, but i wasn't sure if the brand was organic (the brand is korean). it had 'mother' in it, which is that slimy stuff that looks like snot - so i assumed it was unfiltered. anyways, i recently switched over to "Omega Nutrition" organic acv, unfiltered & unpasteurized. It's only been a day, but it seems to be drying out some of my white heads. i don't have many inflamed pimples, but tonnns of white/blackheads all over, which leave red marks every time they heal. it's been 5 months now and I CAN GET RID OF THEM. gonna try this organic acv and biweekly glycolic peels. hopefully this works out for me.

I use a cotton ball to apply my 1/4 ACV 3/4 water mixture to my face at night. It has reduced but not eliminated my breakouts. I suspect that if I used it more consistently the results would be even better.

I took ACV orally in the first week, I was so stupid I took 2 table spoon undiluted each day. DON'T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE. The next day when i drank water my throat was so sore. ALWAYS TAKE ACV WITH WATER. 1 tablespoon in 16oz of water. In 8oz of water i still felt the burn. It is very acidic so do research before taking it or else you'll burn your esophagus. It took like 2 weeks for me to see results i nearly gave up coz i didn't think it would work for me BUT IT DID =) I still have like 4 new pimples I don't know what cuased it maybe it was ACV or my hormones. sigh* i can't wait til they all disappear. Before i had like millions of pimples on my forehead (caused by shampoo), then i stopped using shampoo and it is now so much clearer. Right now i am taking a break from ACV coz it burned my esophagus, but when i took, it i felt as if my stomach is cleaner (inside) and flatter =) I will resume taking in a few days. For some people like me it will take longer to see results. DONT' GIVEUP

This really helped me a lot. Months ago my skin was red and had lost it's tone, after using apple cider vinegar my tone came back and my acne lessened a lot. I was drinking about a tablespoon a day as well as applying it topically. Use the braggs kind because it is unpasturized and organic and seems to really get into the skin. I had been dealing with acne for about four years and this was the only thing that made a breakthrough. Don't spend tons of money on chemical products that are don't do anything! I have found that using ACV, as well as lerosett swedish clay mask to rid my pores of the left over stuff and tamanu oil for my small scars has my face acne free, all that is left are a few dark spots which the tamanu oil is really taking care of.

it actually works , since ive had pimples/acne i have been trying lots of different creams, washes everything really !! lately i have been using clearasil wash and a cream and havent seen any results. :( .. but i was so down one day i looked on gooogle for quick fixes and i found this, so i tryed vinegar at first i had my doubts but now im alot more confident and i really liked the results. after washing my face just before bed i dipped a cotton bud into vinegar and only put it on the pimples then i woke up the next day and they had almost completley dissapered. i would definatle recommend this but only onto the pimpls/acne not allover your face .. :)

good

I use ACV as a spot treatment for blemishes and as part of a toner mixture. I find that it reduces the swelling of spots (and if I've been naughty, it really helps improve the areas I've squeezed) and over a few days will dry up the blemish. I just apply neat with a Q-Tip twice a day. ACV is also part of my daily toner. I blend one part ACV, one part witch hazel, and 3 parts water. I apply with a cotton pad twice daily between cleansing with Cetaphil and moisturizing with Vitamin E Gel. Since starting with this toner, I've noticed my skin tone is more even/less blotchy, oil production seems to be regulated (I'm using 1 Clean and Clear Oil-Absorbing Sheet per day instead of 2) and a definite reduction in clogged pores. With this mixture, I get a little redness and some tingling on my forehead, but no burning or stinging, and the redness goes away as the toner dries. Mild vinegar smell fades too. For me, ACV is an excellent alternative to pricey and chemical-

I've been using Bragg's Apple Cider Vinegar for 2 weeks, and the results were great. I use the vinegar as a toner mixed with distilled water at a 1:2 ratio to neutralise it, and it doesn't sting at all. I've had pustules, and papules disappear over night, but cysts take time but usually significantly reduce in size over a week. However, I have seen the product leave some red marks/hyperpigmentation of some acne. But, it does go down over time. Overall, I'd say this is atleast worth a try if you're struggling w/ acne like I have.

It stopped my un curable break-out that starts when i was about 15. it doesnt seem to help with my red acne scars from previous acnes, but bottom line is that I dont have any new break out since I used ACV as a toner.
