i have been applying apple cider vinegar topically at night, and drinking 2 teaspoons with water twice a day for the past month and have seen great results. i did not get an initial breakout, but everyone is different so don't give up yet! i started seeing results about 2 weeks after i started. good luck

The reason you apply it topically is to restore the PH to your skin after using an alkaline cleanser. And supposedly the PH is part of the skin's defence. Against what exactly, I don't know. Bacteria? Sun damage?

I know you can cure nail fungus with it. It worked for me. But you should dilute it before applying it to your face and body.

Anyway I don't see why it would cause a breakout. It could be irritating though if you don't dilute it. Dilute it a lot.

yeh beatbox i broke out from it once or twice prob b-cos i didnt dilute it!

any effects on red marks???

beatboxkid

whats best way to dilute it? 50% water 50% apple vinegar?

dont wanna dilute it to much as might not work then

well i was using it straight, but probs best way to be safe is 2 or 3 parts water to one part vinegar. 50 50 could be okay though, just depends on how your skin can handle it. U could start at 2/1 then work up to 50 50

you still using it diluted now then?

i decided to dilute it 40& water to 60% vinegar, as it doesnt seem that harsh when I put it on neat.

I do think it is helping, all though it is early days............

I am also gonna try only using soap on my body/face every other day, I think using soap on my face twice a day doesnt do any good, It just causes oil glands to go into over drive I think and causes more break outs. so basically I mena shower using sopa one day and the next day shower with out using soap.

hopefully should see better results now I have changed a few things round.

oh well diluteing the stuff doesnt seem to be doing me any good.......

gonna cary on using it straight I think as doesnt seem to harsh on my skin, I am also going to try using simple face wash instead of baby soap.

well leave it about a week or so now before I put a post on this, I will give the apple cide vinegar about anohter 10 days or so and if I think it's no good I will stop using it.

some one asked about does it fade redmarks, I think it does a bit but is to early to make any assumptions really.............

beatboxkid

looks like I am flogging a dead horse with this apple cider vinegar stuff........

might of none it wouldnt work, if anything looks like it can make acne worse.

still it does work for some people, I guess I just unlucky

I can honestly say I give up now, tryed more or less everythinng, bollox to it!!!!!!
