Vinegar (as a topical)

During and after my pregnancy, i got a patch of pimples on my left cheek and ive never had pimples there, not even in high school. I've tried everything, even birth control pills, and usually those pills to make it go away, nothing. My mom started drinking ACV, just to be more healthier, so i went to Whole Foods and bought Braggs ACV and did my research. I drink acv with honey and water and apply acv straight on my skin. This stuff works! All my zits are dried out, no new zits. I almost dont mind the smell but it does dry my face out. I put raw shea butter on my face cuz raw shea butter does not clog pores and its actually an anti-inflammatory. ACV and raw shea butter equal a great combo. I will keep on using ACV, the Braggs kind.

its cheap, safe during pregnancy, natural and it works!

PLEASE TRY THIS!!!! (I have mild acne and oily skin if that helps anyone.) I was skeptical at first because I tried so many other products, both chemical and natural. *ProActiv, Oxy, Clearasil, Lemon juice, baking soda, etc.) I must say, I feel really stupid for not buying ACV earlier. I could have saved myself several hundreds of dollars. I've used it for close to month now, and I can safely say it's the best thing I've tried. Those 1 or 2 pimples I've always had are now gone and my acne is easily managed now. Some people say it stings when you wash your face with it, but it definitely doesn't sting when I wash my face with it. The only time it's remotely irritating to my skin is when I get out of the shower and wash my face with it. I'm guessing it's because my pores are more open. Bottom Line: PLEASE TRY THIS BEFORE WASTING ANY MORE MONEY ON CHEMICAL PRODCUTS! This worked for me, and it may just work for you. At only 3 bucks a bottle you can't afford

I recommend a gentle dilution as a way of evening out skin Ph after cleaning, especially if you are already icing your skin.

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!

IVe used it for a week, full strength a few x, half strength a few x, its healed a few single spots but overall hasnt done too much yet, like how people say it makes dry skin better. mine has been flaking a little. ive only used it at night. I wanted it to even out my old red acne marks, its helped a bit with that. maybe itll work better and better soon...

I've been suffering with mild to moderate rosacea since 2000. Up until now, I've had to rely on tetracycline or doxycycline whenever a flareup would occur. (usually about two to three months after my last prescription). Doctors are hesitant about simply giving me a full year prescription, so I go thru the same routine every time a flareup occurs. Recently I got fed up and tried vinegar. Although the vinegar doesn't make the rosacea completely disappear, it most certainly keeps it in check until I can get a new prescription. I'm one of those sufferers who's outbreaks are directly tied to hot and humid weather. It's been downright oppressive here lately, and the current flareup hasn't gotten any worse. In the past, the heat and humidity would make the flareup embarrassingly severe. The vinegar is obviously a far cheaper alternative to the overpriced stuff that I've already tried; including the obscenely overpriced (and useless) Metrogel at $150 a tube.

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.

Give it a try. I use it a couple times a day when i wake up, before a shower and when i go to bed, and i can't complain with the results i have seen.

I initially tried this as a spot treatment, massaging for 1-2 minutes on affected areas. I initially noticed some redness, but it was nothing too major and showed me that the product was at least doing something to my skin. I had very good results with this, and now use it full strength as a toner. Initially, with the red marks I was using it twice a day. Now, however, I just use it at night, since I'm not sure how long the scent lingers, and I'd really hate for someone to think the sour smell of ACV was coming from me! All in all, I'd highly recommend this, especially for the price.
