Pros:

It's cheap....it's great as a topical

Cons:

Taste, and no results, the smell!

After reading the reviews I went out and bought the cider with the "mother" in it. I began drinking it but it does taste awful! I started to dilute it more and it wasn't so bad. Then I realized I wasn't drinking as much as other people on the board were ( I only drank about a tbl spoon or around 3 tsp) so I started to drink more. Eventually I got to where I actually liked the taste....but still not the smell! I also used it as a topical and at first that worked pretty well drying out some pimples. But I didn't see my skin clear up, it started to get worse, so I stopped. This wasn't initially either. At first I didn't see a change then things got better and gradually worse. Didn't work for me, I have oily type skin.

Pros:

-Cheap
-Easy to do
-Effective at preventing/reducing zits

Cons:

-Tastes horrible

I've only been drinking ACV for exactly one (1) week. So far, so good, I guess. The positives so far is that I have not received an initial outbreak. I haven't gotten more than 3 zits or so since using this. The only downside from drinking this is that I seem to get dry, chapped lips and tight, dry skin. The effects have been reduced after taking ACV for a few days.

Pros:

Cheap and convenient

Cons:

The smell and the taste

I dunno if it works for me. Kinda confused. It certainly kill off pimples gracefully.Unlike other topical that dries or burn it. However, after drinking(2 times a day) and applying(3 times a day) for 7 days, i still get new pimples everyday. Only difference is the pimpes are smaller as compared to previous. From my online reading, i seems to hear some people see almost fast results by taking and applying ACV. For my case, im not sure if it is working for me. i read that sometimes it could be due to the detox process tat cause further pimples from breaking out. i will give it a try for another 2 weeks and see if works better. Wish me luck, mates!

miracle cleanser

Pros:

easy
cheap
works

Cons:

smelly
bad for enamel

ACV is a part of my routine in two ways. first, I drink a tablespoon in water every day, first thing waking up. Second, once a week I use Aztec Clay, and i'll mix half water half ACV with the powder. the ACV truly cleanses inside and out, and alkalinizes my body so my skin isn't so oily. It's been a godsend!

-Works
-You feel internally clean
-Inexpensive

Cons:

Taste
Smell

ACV is amazing acne remedy. The first day i tried it i vomited 2 table spoons in 500Ml XD that was a bad idea but i was desparate. I could not handle the taste of ACV so i starte with just 1/2 a teaspoon and worked my way up. From this gross nasty flavour i worked my way up to 4-6 Table spoons. Now i luv this stuff. The taste has become enjoyable now yu prolly think im crazy but im enjoy drininking it. 1 week ago my confidence was down the drain my acne was moderate and my face was really really scarred from me picking yes i know very bad we all here it but yu do it anywaise. ACV has cleared me from 30 pimples to about 3.... IN 1 weeks other things to tell you I use omege 3/6/9 pills and honey masks 2-3 times a week and apply 27,000 Iu of vitamin E from walmart. My face is still scared but looks incredible compared to not using ACV. #1 thing to know use orgainc ACV WITH MOTHER! This is the stuff that works and you should use. Im so happy ive found ACV and PPl just try it might work 4 U

Did nothing
Being overly stressed out and living where it's hot and humid most of summer, my skin broke out. Seemed like from one day to another my forehead had completely erupted and was entirely congested and mostly around my jawline and somewhat on my chin and cheeks as well. Desperate and wanting to go for the natural route, I googled drinking apple cider vinegar for acne as I had heard great things about it before. I stumbled upon the article on xovain (pretty sure was the first result) about drinking it for a week in large amounts, seemed convincing so I went for it. Drank four tablespoons of Bragg's apple cider vinegar in water (and decaffeinated green tea), three times a day, for seven days. I was so hopeful this would rid me of the congested all over my face but my experience was not a great one. Drinking this did absolutely nothing, didn't make it worse or better, just nothing except give me two sores in my mouth the fifth day of drinking it. Was disappointed of course but glad I tried it and stuck it out for those seven days. Definitely don't recommend this approach or really feel that this will have any or much of an effect on acne which you can probably read about on the acne einstein site "myth busting ' apple cider vinegar for acne." Still worth a try as some people have been successful.

I immediately Broke out from drinking apple cidar vinegar
Forgive me for any grammatical errors please, Alright sooooo, let me dive right into it. I have been taking either one or two (depends on how I feel that morning or night) tablespoons of Apple Cider Vinegar NOT dilluted for about a month an a half. I began to break out immediately but I thought it was because I was using the wrong washing powder, any ways, sorry , but I was taking ACV for a faster metabolism not for my face I didn't even know that it could so called HELP with acne, sorry anyways, basically my face looks horrible , I would take a picture but I rather you guys get your laugh from cartoon network and not my face, but ok so I would really like to know what can help clear it up. I am a workout addict and sweating isnt doing it, I don't eat beef, pork or drink sodas all I drink is water and green tea. I choose to eat like this this isn't a punishment. but yeah anyways, so I've tried turmeric , mixed with other natural herbs but nothing is working, can someone please help me clear my skin, my face is so ugly I try to avoid mirrors. I know a lot of blogs say that ACV will make you break out FIRST then it will clear it up because it is detoxifying your body but there are toxins in everything I eat so What the heck is the ACV going to do keep messing up my face until I become a vegan but Seriously sorry ,if possible can it be affordable I mean like im a college student, I am NOT about to pay 40 dollars for a little tube of something that i dont even know if it will work or not. I honestly need jesus to lay his hands on my face, i'd love that, that would just make me a happy camper, alright sorry i'm done. Help me please . Oh yeah and I stopped taking the ACV about a week ago , hopefully you know that but alright . toodles

Unsure
Okay so a lot of reviews here are only after a few days so I decided to do one after drinking it for almost 4 weeks. I am a 22 year old female and have struggled with acne since I was 12. Nothing worked for me so unfortunately I took accutane twice. After those doses my skin stayed pretty clear until about 4 months ago. Which was five years after accutane. I started getting cysts again so I went back to the dermatologist hoping to hear something other than accutane. Well , thats what they wanted to do so I refused since it is such a harsh medicine. I decided to try something else. So after reading and watching videos on this stuff I decided to try it. The day after I started drinking this my face was really clear and someone at work even mentioned it. But the week after that my skin broke out so bad. I decided to keep drinking it. I am almost at 4 weeks drinking it twice a day in water. about 2 table spoons each. My skin is pretty bad now. I have a large cyst on my chin but it flattend pretty quickly. and medium pimples on my cheeks and jaw line. I'm hoping that this is just "purging" since that is what happens with a lot of acne treatments. I'm going to continue to drink it for a couple weeks to see how it turns out, and then I will post another review. So as of now I give it two stars because I'm really unsure if it is working at all.

This is what happened to me when I drank the acv. I started off by drinking two tablespoons everyday for a few months and was very clear. But after a while, my skin started acting bad again so i took less of the acv and drank just one tablespoon per day and my skin got better and stayed better after that. I believe taking the 2 tablespoons became too much for my skin to handle so the reduced amount was the perfect amount for it to keep doing its job well. Hope this helps !

Pros:

- Generally good for you
- Cheap
- Easy to find

Cons:

- I still get breakouts
- Taste, Hell hath no fury like a shot of this stuff
- Potential damage to teeth enamel

I've been taking two shots of Bragg's a day for a week now and It's not really stopped me breaking out at all. I'm kinda disappointed because all the reviews seemed positive. Most people seem to have results within a few days but I certainly haven't.I'm still going to keep taking it in case it suddenly works, plus I hear it's really good for you generally. If I were you, I'd try it. It may or may not work out for you. It's worth a shot. Good luck!

Pros:

Good for you in general
Significantly reduces acne
Prevents any new acne
Detoxifies skin
Relatively inexpensive

Cons:

Tastes awful
Possible damage to teeth
Has a tendency to make your skin "purge"

I'm already using prescription antibiotics and topicals to fight my acne. Though they worked wonders the first time, my acne came back (although not quite as severe as the first time). After reading about using ACV, I decided to give it a go. After a relatively short period of time, I'm already noticing a significant decrease of inflamed acne on my face. I take about 1-2 tablespoons diluted with a pint of water daily with a meal (though I have skipped a couple days). In addition, my antibiotic dosage was recently doubled, and I've been eating more carefully and taking multivitamins. It could simply be causal, but I think that everything's working in conjunction. There's no single "magic" remedy that's going to make your acne go away, I've found you need to control it properly through proper nutrition. I would strongly recommend ACV as a supplement to an existing acne treatment regimen.
