Vinegar (as a topical)

I thought this product worked great with my oily skin and I was hoping it would do the same for my ice pickish scars. After about two weeks, I noticed that my scars looked worse, they seemed to have expanded and I had developed little bumps that would not go away. Rather than stay the course, I decided that enough damage was done and I did not want to pursue this further.

I decided to try this product after seeing the great reviews on this site. I have oily skin and severe acne and have for years so I was really hoping this would work. I used this as a toner twice a day full strength for about 3 to 4 weeks. The first 3 days my skin seemed to be clearing up and I thought this might be THE product to end my horrible acne. After the 3 days my skin became much worse and instead of just getting the normal big/deep pimples I started to get tiny bumps around my face also. I finally got to the place where my acne looked so bad I could not take the product any longer. I only kept at the product for so long because I read on here that it took up to a month to see a difference. This did not work for me at all but I think it is about finding that product that works for you. I feel like I am out of options right now but am going to keep trying and hope there is something out there that can help my skin. I don't know if I can recommend this but I think it is worth a try. It is not super expensive and seems to work for a lot of people so what is there to lose? a couple more weeks of bad acne?

I used apple cider vinegar as a toner on face face 3 times a day, for about a week and a half. I'm not really sure how this worked for everybody else except me, and its really dissappointing. By the second day of using this, I got like 15 new pimples, in spots I normally dont get them at all. And the ones that were already there were brought to a head and became more noticecable. I kept on using this daily, but things just kept on popping up. So I decided to stop using it, and my face returned back to its same old self. I was hoping this cleared up my acne by a big Christmas party I had, but it just made it worse. I will never try apple cider vinegar again.

I have been battling acne for quite some time now. I have tried all store bought things and even went to a few different dermatologist but nothing works. I already have a lot of scar marks, large pores and so on included with my acne. Well about a week or two ago I heard about Apple Cider Vinegar used for acne so I decided I would read on it and try it out. I seen a few different directions on how to use it so I started out using 2 part water 1 part vinegar and dabbed it on my face with a q tip, left it on for bout 30 min and rinsed. I did this a couple times a day for about 3 days. I did not see any results. I took a break from using it for 2 or 3 days. Well last night I was reading about it again along with a few other things. I read holding ice on your face for a few minutes helps reduce pores. So I figured I would try this along with what I had just read about apple cider vinegar. So last night I washed my face, wrapped a few ice cube in a rag and held it on my face for a few minutes, then I mixed 1 part vinegar 1 part water and soaked a cotton ball in it and used that to wipe it on my face, I left it a few minutes then rinsed it and followed with moisturizer. This morning I woke up with two red areas on my cheeks just right before the cheek bone. They do not hurt or anything they are just bbig red spot on both sides. Why did this happen? Is it normal? Am I doing this right? I need help ! I just am ready to win my battle of acne!!!

I used half strength ACV for a few days, noticed good results (if a bit of stinging) and decided to use full strength. Big mistake. This was a few days ago and today my skin is dry and calloused where I used it, around my nose, and I accidentally scratched at the flakes in those areas and now the corners of my nose are filled with red sores. ACV seemed to work at first but I cannot handle this level of dryness and irritation. If you want something better for your red marks that won't screw up your skin, try aloe vera from the plant. I know this works for some people but you have to know your skin and be CAREFUL with it. It's vinegar. It's acid.

-better when taken internally...i noticed smaller pores and clearer skin when taking a shot a night and drinking lots of water...

I'm using Braggs organic ACV with the mother in it 2x a day. I bought a plastic bottle and mixed 1/2 ACV and 1/2 bottled water shake it and put it on my skin!!! I also drink a full glass of water with ACV in it at night before bed!!! So this is my routine wash face let it dry put the Diluted ACV on a cotton ball and cleanse my skin like a toner let it dry and follow by moisturizer after. I been using Cerave PM moisturizing lotion!! I have pimples on my jawline/chin and neck!!! The pimples on my jawline are so stubborn they won't shrink or disappear no matter what I do ... Since my skin hasn't got worse yet I will continue to use Braggs for 3 months ... If anything gets better or worse I will report back ... So fingers crossed

No, No ... Just No! I tried using a very weak solution of Apple Cider Vinegar in water to treat my skin. One use gave me the equivalent of a nasty sunburn. It serves me right for not doing a patch test first. This might work great for some people, but it was a definite fail for me.

ACV has not work me. I used as a toner since end of February 2016, yet no results. I am still breaking out. I used it twice a day. I started as 1 part vinegar and 2 parts water now I just used the vinegar alone. I mean it has not work. It not making it worst (that is the only good part). Maybe my acne is s severe. I been having acne since I was 13. I am now 28 and I just so over it. I tried everything.

This may work for some but it really isn't worth all the hassle! The apple cider vinegar smells absolutely VILE and it makes you face feel really sticky. Not to mention, apple cider vinegar made my face extremely red! Avoid at all costs.
