Pros:

It has definitely helped my skin look both more clear and more even.

Cons:

The taste, smell, and general association. Lets be honest with ourselves, we're drinking vinegar. Also, it feels sort of weirdly acidic in my stomach for a few minutes, plus that awful shivery tingle when taking a big drink.

Firstly, it's awful. I'm not going to lie, it's just terrible at first. I'm going to assume I'll get used to it as I use it for longer than a bit more than a week, but it's not apple juice sweetheart. I make a cup of chamomile tea (all my other teas are some variation of black, and chamomile seems to match best) and dump a bit of organic acv from Trader Joe's in, maybe two or three tbs. I let it get coldish, maybe an hour, just enough so I can chug it. So I have a cup of water next to my tea, chug maybe a third of it while plugging my nose, then be sure to have your water as soon as you can, and seriously, don't unplug your nose until water is in your mouth! Acv in just water's okay too, but I think the tea reduces the gag at the end a bit. I do it twice a day, and I'm going to have to say it is worth it, because really it's like a minute of pain. I also use it as a toner, and my skin is looking much nicer and healthier than usual. So, I'm a begrudging fan.

Wow, straight up its been like a month and i don't even worry about waking up with acne anymore, not only this my skin is well balanced and i think over time i have found a miracle cure Morning and night after shower i pour maybe 30 mls of my ACV mix ' 30% ACV 70% water, into my hand and splash/rub it over my face.... FAST EASY and smell disipears after like 30 seconds I also take 1 Tablespoon of ACV DILUTED!! in a BIG cup of water before breakfast and dinner I don't use facewash anymore, i don't trust the dodgy chemicals in it. (well thats a lie, once a week i use a commercial facewash) BEST SKIN EVER cost maybe $1 a week!! AND its natural

Pros:

Works good the first few weeks.Dries away any active acne.Consumed almost three bottles.

Cons:

Became ineffective gradually.Past the 8th week,hardly worked as it did initially.

Has plenty of other benefits listed--no harm in taking it.But if you want to find a solution to get rid of acne--this does not do the job--strictly my personal experience. Bottomline--it may or may not work for you.But give it a shot anyways.

Pros:

>Definently stops production of acne caused by oil production and diet. Probably hormonial too.
>Only takes about a week to see results. Sometimes less!
>If taken day and night (2 tsps for me) will prevent breakouts

Cons:

>taste (something to get used to)
>smell

Probably the best acne treatment ever!! I've suffered for 4 years and i've tried alot of bullsh*t products out there and this has by far worked the best.Its hella lot cheaper too! When you drink it tho, I would recommend pouring the ACV in the back of your mouth (avoid teeth) and immediatly wash it down with some water or better yet juice or green tea. You could even try it with pop if you want cause it wont affect the ACV. I don't know about dairy though. O yea! Also the brand I use is Braggs raw, unfiltered,organic,etc. It says it has the "mother" in it. ONLY BUY THE ORGANIC ACV!!! I've heard drinking the non-organic can actually make acne worse!!! Probably all the chemicals and sh*t they put in those... I say... GO BUY SOME BRAGGS OR WHATEVER RIGHT NOW AND START DRINKING IT TONIGHT (you can add it right into your current regimen) YOU MAY SEE SOME RESULTS TOMORROW MORNING!!!!

Works for some,acv works especially well for those suffering from acne because of a leaky gut
I notived instant results from drinking acv shots on a empty stomach once a day, simply because I suffer from leaky gut syndrome which is a over looked cause of acne in my opinion. Finding the root cause of your acne can be exhausting,and can take years, it took forever for me.. It literally took years for me to pay closer attention to what I foolishly overlooked for years due to pure laziness, and intimidation.. maybe skincare was truly from the inside out, because externally I was following all the rules, so I did the work, and did my research to learn more about what could be the root of my ance evils. After coming to the conclusion that I suffered from a leaky gut it all came in prospective for me, if your leaky gut is in bad shape, as mines were from never drinking enough water, and eating terribly over the years then you will def see results, if not then your body may not need the acidics that acv shots can benefit when consumed. Butt, if you are suffering from a leaky gut, then this will heal your gut and you're shin will greatly benefit from it!! Understanding the root of your acne will save you greats of endless nights scouring the forums for some type of relief or answer to your skin concerns..

Pros:

works right away.

Cons:

smells bad.

I started drinking Bragg's apple cider vinegar and applying it topically and already in less than three weeks my skin looks remarkably a whole lot better....i had been hibernating all January because out of no where after new year's I started getting cystic acne ( you know the kind that pop out of ur skin ) and i was getting them on my cheeks and my chin..it was horrible! so I have been drinking 2 tablespoons of ACV mixed into 8oz. of water 3 times a day and have been applying it 1/2 water 1/2 acv onto my skin at nite. it's worth a try...it worked for me and I'm 29.

1st Day Trying. Hoping for the Best
I have read all of the reviews on how apple cider vinegar helps to clear acne. I am 17 and have serve acne. I have tried just about everything. So Today I got some Bragg ACV and put it in a small glass of water. It taste so horrible that it makes me gag when I drink it. You can really taste the acid. So instead it took that glass and put in a huge glass of ice water. I can still taste it but it is no where near as bad. just hope that doing it this way I am drinking enough. I feel a little warm inside. I will continue to drink a lot of water. I do not see how people drink this. Tonight I will use it on my face as a toner and will see what happens in the next few days. i will be back to update. 1 Week Update: So I have been using the ACV for a week now and I believe my skin may be purging. I am not very sure. I try to drink at least a cap full of ACV everyday. Because of the taste I have to put it in something like iced tea and smoothies. I also use it as a toner at night. A week ago I did have some clusters of bumps around the jaw line that seems to be drying out really well. Starting At the beginning of this week I have been getting these huge bumps in random places on my face. When one goes down I feel another coming. I believe that is the purging. I do not really know. I am going to continue using the AVC and see whats happens. Another update soon.
