Vinegar (as a topical)

My back cleared up alot from spraying this on, once a day. I do not use it on my face because it can be pretty drying. I dilute it with 50% water.

My Mum has been going on about apple cider vinegar for years. I just always thought it was that disgusting kitchen product that was forever turning up in the bathroom, oh how I was wrong! I use 50:50 water:ACV and it is by far my favourite 'beauty' product. I use it as a toner (usually only if I'm staying in because I get paranoid that people might think I smell of vinegar) It seems to be fading some annoying red marks I've had for what feels like forever quite quickly. It leaves your skin feeling very soft once dry (I don't wash it off, the smell does fade) and it gives skin that nice dewy glowey look we all crave!

This is the best toner you can use. I use apple cider vinegar. I dilute half of it with water and use a pad or cotton ball and apply it after I wash my face. I use to use it consistently for two years my skin was amazing, then I switched to lemon juice because of the smell and I was going out alot with guys, but my acne came back more when I stopped using acv toner. I'm using it again and I see a huge difference in my skin.

After washing my face with Baking Soda (mixed with Cetaphil), I use Apple Cider Vinegar as a topical toner. It works great! There are many recipes online for the toner, some adding extra ingredients just to alleviate the pungent smell. I would not recommend using ACV by itself - it can be pretty harsh. I use a mixture of 1/3 cup ACV, 1/3 cup green tea, and 1/3 cup water. I keep it in a leftover olive oil jar with a twist-on lid. I also keep it in the fridge.

I started using this after I realized I was getting some perioral dermatitis along with acne. I've been using it for a week and my perioral dermatitis is almost completely gone and I have 1 pimple today. 1!!!!! I usually get multiple spots per day. I've tried accutane 2x, brevoxyl, aczone, clindamycin, benzaclin, differin, tazorac, sulfur wash... The organic unfiltered apple cider vinegar is what has helped the most. I still use tazorac at night. I use the vinegar diluted 50/50 as a toner after washing. I let it dry and then moisturize.

it does not work

Use as a toner morning and night leave on all day/ night. I use ACV bragg's, what this does is kills all the baterial that causes ance through the Acid...eventually pimples cannot form due to having no baterial!

Love it! After having severe cystic acne on my back and shoulders for over 3yrs I'm almost completely clear! It turns out that it was shampoo and conditioner that was the biggest cause (probably the sulfates and coconut in the products) Now I use baking soda to wash my hair every day and diluted apple cider vinegar as a rinse about 2-3 times a week. I saw results after about 2 weeks of using this. Apple cider vinegar works by making your skin too acidic for bacteria to live on. This helps stop body odor, acne and can prevent dandruff! On the days I use the rinse I use it @ night so I don't have to worry about going to work with my wet hair smelling like vinegar but if I notice a breakout I'll rinse my body with it more often and once I've toweled off there's no smell. Give it a shot and try it for about 2 or 3 weeks at least to see if it will help stop your acne!

So far, so good. I use the Spectrum organics raw unfiltered kind. I apply 1/2 water, 1/2 ACV plus 2-3 drops of Tea Tree Oil toner to my face 2x daily, Also, I make a poultice of the toner on flat cotton pads and let it sit on my problem areas for 10-20 minutes. It helps to flatten and heal pustules and cysts. I have had a couple new spots spring up in the 10 days I've been using it but it may just be bringing clogged pores to the surface. I read on the message boards that this helps you restore your skin's acid mantle. I'm a believer.

I read almost every review on this site before deciding to try ACV. I bought Bragg's with mother in it. I have tried every acne product and every skincare brand available for my acne, which was pretty severe at one point because of a medication I was taking. At the moment, I don't have particularly bad breakouts, but I do have a lot of scarring, which is worse, I think than actual acne. Acne at least goes away, but these scars have been here for years! I've only been using ACV for a few days, maybe a week, morning and night, and I swear I can already see a difference. I really don't think this is my imagination. The new scars are already fading, but the old ones I think will take much longer. The few active breakouts I had are healing, and my complexion seems much brighter. I hope these great results will continue! My hope is renewed! One day I might have the porcelain skin I was MEANT to have!
