Pros:

so far, so good..acne getting smaller, skin softer

Cons:

stinks

I am a 28 year old suffering from acne! I have tried EVERYTHING: minocyclin, proactiv, murad, differin, solodyn, doryx, clearasil, neutrogena, chinese herbs, pearl powder, ETC ETC ETC! After doing lots of research, I found these 3 to be most popular: Pantothenic Acid, Flax seed oil and Apple cider vinegar. I'm on week 2 of Pantothenic Acid. First week, pores seemed tighter and skin less oily. The second week was purge week (plus pms time) so i broke out all over my chin and left cheek. Guess it's pushing all the toxins out...I gotta be patient, because I refuse to go on Accutane! I've on taken Apple Vinegar for two days now: 2 tbsp in water twice a day, and applying it diluted at night. let me tell you- after 2 days I am noticing a difference! no new pimples are forming and the ones i have are drying out!!! The red marks seem to be on their way to fading...I couldn't be more excited! So I will continue taking my 20 pills a day, ACV and flax seed oil! Hopefully this will

Pros:

It works! My skin feels clean and the red marks are definitely starting to fade. Haven't gotten any major pimples since starting (just one or two small ones on my forehead).

Cons:

Nothing, really. The smell isn't the greatest thing (slightly reminiscent of feet), but that goes away after it soaks in.

I've been using it for a week, twice a day as a toner (50% Bragg's ACV and 50% filtered water). Afterwards, I use a 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide cream, and then moisturize with Jojoba oil and Aveeno (and a lighter moisturizer in the morning). My red marks are fading, and my overall complexion is getting better. I still can't believe how affectively this is working... Give it a shot, it's cheap and safe for your skin.

Pros:

-Helps reduce redness
-Helps reduce breakouts

Cons:

-Horrible taste
-Can damage teeth overtime

Its cheap, it does infact reduce redness and breakouts. But...overall it does not prevent acne completely. I have been taking for about 8 months now and I would like to not take it but I know it works because when I dont, my acne comes back. Works best in the summer, Winter is a rough time for acne so just stick with it.

Pros:

Cheap
Works well
Easy to use

Cons:

Smells/Tastes bad
Can sting/burn if skin is sensitive
Burns eyes

Great remedy. I've been using Bragg's ACV for about 5 days now and it's working miraculously. I use a 50/50 AVC/water mix on my face after washing in the place of a toner, then I moisturize with a moiturizer containing Jojoba oil and aloe vera. I've also been taking about 2 tablespoons daily mixed with some type of juice or water. Overall...I've seen a major improvement and I'm glad to have come across this site or I never would have tried it. *Bragg's ACV doesn't taste as bad as some of the other brands, but it is still ACV none the less :-)

Pros:

Helps to Clear acne over a short timeframe.
Gives a person better face coplextion.
Is really cheap, etc, etc.

Cons:

Others may be able to smell the vinger long after you believe it's gone.
At first makes acne appear to be worst then better.
Dries out skin if used UNDILUTED, leaving possible rahes.

This product is useful when a person cannot afford to purchase thoughs highly overpriced fancy facial scrubs and topical creams. Gets rid of most acne, although NEVER use undiluted or a rash will most likely occur after just a few uses. Works by making your skin slightly drier (by soaking up the Sebum oil of face), killing most bateria that cause acne to develope and nicely removes dead skin cells still on your face leaving for a way better complextion. At first use, this product has sings of improvement all over. Although keep in mind that all acne treatments actually start off making your acne worse then before, this is in order to get rid of the acne not yet visible of the surface of your skin (such as Retiniods or Accutane, etc).

Pros:

Very cheap, dries up skin just enough, has healed a large cystic pimple that was on my chin for WEEKS in just a week. I don't mind the smell :p

Cons:

No real cons that I can see. I know other people don't like the smell, but try using aloe vera gel after applying the vinegar. Works like a charm and I've had cystic acne for years!

Great product, use DILUTED. If you use it undiluted you're asking for irritation; possibly a burn.

Pros:

Acne hasn't gotten worse, which is good!!

Cons:

Smell, but I can tolerate it if it works!

My face has stabalized, not worse, not better. That's good I guess. I've only been using it for 5 days, so I am definitely going to give it more time. I take 2 tbls in the AM and 2 tbls in the PM (about 4:00 pm, before dinner). I like it mixed with apple juice (tastes like apple cider then), grape juice, ginger ale, but I like it best with grape pop!! Try it! You can't taste the vinegar at all! I use it topically morning and night. Once it dries you can't smell a thing. It doesn't make my face dry at all, and sluffs away the dead skin cells. I would highly recommend giving it a try. I have tried NUMEROUS prescription topicals, plus oral antibiotics with absolutely no luck. So stable is better than worse!

Pros:

it takes the red out of thoes painful swollen pimples, its cheap!

Cons:

smells absolutely terrible

i had one of thoes "stick out the side of your face" pimples today and i came home and put a warm washcloth on the spot and popped it (then it was swollen) but after that i put some of the ACV just on the spot and it is now completly flat and its not red and painful anymore. Also, i used this as a drink for a week or more and it kept me 100% clear, the only problem was i stopped using it because its kind of a pain but then all my breakouts came back. I would recomend taking 1 tbs in the morning and 1 tbs at night mixed with juice i believe it helps prevent break outs MAKE SURE ITS BRAGG'S ORGANIC APPLE CIDER VINIGAR
