Top Questions and Answers

Can I drink regular apple cider vinegar to help clear up my mild acne? People say that the best is organic apple cider vinegar. But I have been drinking 2 tsp of ACV to a glass of water with a straw. Is this ok? I am sure it won't kill me but could it still work? It is the 100% pure, premium ACV by Cornwells.

Scuba Steve JW replied: "If you don't try it then you'll never know. When I was a teen, I would stir up a packet of yeast from the super market in a glass of warm water once a day for 2 or 3 days and my skin would clear right up. I never heard of anyone else trying this so don't know if it would work for anyone else but it did for me."

Tom504 replied: "Ugh vinegar is disgusting and no it won't hurt you but I doubt it will clear up your acne. What really works is getting older. Most people's skin clears up towards the end of high school, just deal with it until then and don't worry about it. People with acne tend to think no one else has acne and that everyone with perfect skin is looking down on you. Truth is nobody notices your acne nearly as much as you do. So just get over it."

natalielil replied: "Inorganic is fine. If it doesn't work, you can always try organic. Try putting it on your face also, like an astringent. Dilute it with half water, and splash it on your face. The vinegar will kill acne-causing bacteria on your skin. Don't overuse it this way though, just once a day. AVC is great for getting rid of bacteria, whether from the inside or outside. I wash all my fruits and vegetables with diluted ACV. When you are drinking it, it works holistically. Meaning, it won't directly cure your acne, but it builds the body up to have a better chance of not being acne prone. Eating healthy and reducing stress are helpful also."

rmbrruffian replied: "Non organic vinegars are processed with some pretty bad stuff. Regular white vinegar is processed with formaldehyde. That's why so many people get headaches from white vinegar and pickled products that use white vinegar. Organic ACV like Bragg's is best. Something with the 'mother' in it. The mother is the bits of apple that settle to the bottom of the bottle and needs to be shaken up."

Is NON organic Apple cider vinegar still good to drink for acne or worsens it????? I have the regular non organic it helps with colds but is that it?

Guitarist77 replied: "IT WORKS SO GOOD!!!!!!!!"

kelly e replied: "People put it on zits, drinking it isn't strong enough to kill the bacteria to heal or stop acne - Most people find initial results but over time it isn't strong enough to help acne. (applying it). If you are in to organic things look in to Bert's Bee acne products they may help you a lot."

Erin replied: "not according to this guy: I have heard many different things about apple cider vinegar; some say you have to drink it and others that its useless. I'm not really sure, but i'm thinking of giving it a try! it sounds like it should work..."

Does vinegar help acne? Does rubbing vinegar on your skin help clear acne up?? Does drinking vinegar help clear up acne??

AAJlove replied: "Not that I know of.. But it'll help you throw up."

Crazy Potatoe replied: "nooooo. get some acne wash."

driftrs girl replied: "why the fuck would you want to put that shit on your face for? Seriously dont harm your body with cheap stuff like that care for it with good stuff like clinique"

catty replied: "See, this is the one problem about asking a question and then having a random person giving you advice that may not be true. So here is some information about the benefits of vinegar. It can in fact kill off acne causing bacteria, balance your skin's pH, and absorb extra oil on your skin. Vinegar is a natural disinfectant, so it makes perfect sense to use it, since all the cause of pimples is bacteria and dirt getting clogged in your pores. Give it a try, it just might work for you! And don't worry, it certainly wont harm your skin in anyway, unlike commercialized products such a 'clinique' which have so many crappy ingredients in them. Just because something costs the world, doesn't mean its going to work. If you want more information on it, stop asking random people, and look up the benefits of vinegar for acne on google. You'll be amazed at what you'll find. Happy searching!"

Drinking apple cider vinegar (for acne) with chocolate milk. Still effective? I know your supposed to mix it with water but I mix it with chocolate milk or just milk b/c it is so much easier to drink this way. Does it become less effective with helping clear your skin?

Larry O replied: "Loose the chocolate milk. Loose all sugar. Breakfast cereal pre sweetened and soda pop. The only good chocolate is dark chocolate, Not milk chocolate. I know its rough but ask your self; How bad do you want a clear skin? Sweets does nothing for good health in general. It also tears down your ermine system and helps you to gain weight which leads to many other health problems. Take a good brand of fish oil and a multi-vitamin supplement . The older you are the more you need to eat right with fresh vegetables and fruits in your diet. dairy products are NOT healthy in spite of the dairy industry's propaganda."

Ron Shelf replied: "Where'd u get this? Chocolate is a no no. use this instead: Take one lemon and squeeze its juice. Apply the lemon juice on the acne pimples and leave for 20 minutes. Then wash your face with lukewarm water. If your skin stings from the lemon, wash your face before the 20 minutes are over."

Lisa J replied: "It does not lose its efficiency in helping clear your skin, but that efficiency is spoiled by the chocolate and the milk. If you want clear skin, do not eat the following: 1) refined sugars - including bought fruit juices which contain an enormous amount 2) drinks like coke which also contain a huge amount of sugar 3) dairy products - all except yoghurt 4) fat except olive oil in moderate quantity. Fruits and vegetables, fish and lean meat, salads. Try this for one month and you'll see the difference! You can put your cider vinegar in a salad dressing with olive oil. All the best!"

Katrina K replied: "Mixing apple cider vinegar with chocolate milk does not seem very healthy. Instead you can try this treatment with cucumber. Take 1 cucumber and slice it into pieces. Clean the affected areas. Gently scrub the affected areas with the cucumber. Do it every day. Or you can try turmeric. Astringent action of turmeric is also beneficial for treatment of acne."

anyone ever try drinking diluted braggs apple cider vinegar in water for acne? i am willing to try it and am. i dilute 2 tsp. in a glass of water and add some honey. i hope it works for my stubborn acne.

William T replied: "I don't know what fraud started telling people that apple cider vinegar is a cure all, but nothing could be further from the truth. Only one study has shown a health benefit of ACV and that was to lower cholesterol by about 10 points. However the same study connected it just as strongly to an increased risk of bladder cancer. Don't waste your time, see a dermatologist right away. You need antibiotics, not vinegar."

bragg's organic apple cider vinegar for acne? Did anyone ever DRINK apple cider vinegar and get results? I've been drinking bragg's organic apple cider vinegar for a couple of weeks, but my acne got a bit worse, however i was told that your skin is supposed to get worse before it gets better because the apple cider vinegar is clearing the toxins inside your body through your skin. Anyone have any experience with this???

onlymatch4u replied: "The action of the Bragg's organic apple cider vinegar is to lower the pH of the stomach and the stomach acid is designed to kill bacteria in your stomach. This lowers the burden of killing bacteria by your intestinal flora. So technically, it may help, but only very slightly on a practical basis. The thing that will really help is to kill the biofilms that are protecting the bacteria in your intestines that are causing the acne problems. To do this, you need to do several things, not just drink some apple juice. When your intestines, liver, and other elimination organs get overwhelmed, it always seems that the kidneys get the brunt of the burden. So, what happens is your skin then becomes a third kidney to relieve the burden on the kidneys. Improving your digestion, improving your diet to get rid of ALL fried foods, ALL vegetable oils like soybean, canola, cottonseed, and corn oils, ALL sodas, etc., doing some detoxing, and then improve your overall diet. That is what will help your acne problem. Make sure you get plenty of "air dried sea salt" because that is where your stomach gets it's chloride ion to make stomach acid that you really need. I would strongly suggest you go see a Certified Nutritional Therapist to test you and determine exactly what nutrients you are deficient in and they can recommend a good diet and supplements that will help you greatly. Doctors do not understand nutrition and they use drugs and surgery to treat symptoms, not "root causes." good luck to you"

Trust replied: "Hi, I'm not sure about the vinegar but here is some info that may help. The watery gel from Aloe Vera plant is a highly effective natural cure against Acne. The enzyme-rich gel has very soothing anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties. It can also be taken internally and helps clean up and detox the digestive tract. This in turn can help clear up the skin. Gel or juice of Aloe Vera is highly useful in fading of acne scars. You can grow Aloe Vera plant in your home and apply freshly taken pure Aloe Vera gel to your scar. Otherwise many branded cosmetic companies manufactures pure Aloe Vera gel, so you can choose the best cosmetic companies to get Aloe Vera gel. Vitamin A is also a natural and effective Acne cure. Vitamin A promotes healthy skin. Vitamin E also helps in countering Acne. It is a natural antioxidant and beneficial for the skin. Oil is obtained from the Melaleuca alternifoliais tree from Australia. It is very effective against Acne as it contains bacteria-fighting substances called Terpenes. Acne is often caused by bacteria and the Terpenes either outright kill them or weaken them enough to be destroyed by protective antibodies. There are very little side effects from using Tea Tree Oil. For more information check out the website . You'll see the ingredients are 99.9% Pure Aloe Vera Gel with 'Vitamins A,C & E' and with 'Tea Tree'. Hope this helps keep your acne & scars at bay!!"

Does drinking apple cider vinegar help clear up acne? Have been going to the dermatologist for about 10yrs....have tried everything including proactive. I use products consistently for about 3mths before stopping. Nothing seems to do the job.

Narumi replied: "actually they can make ur health balance and u can use apple cider as toner ( mix water not pure) apply your acne"

lola replied: "no try proactive it really works"

Kim replied: "no. believe me i have tried everything. the only thing anything has actually worked and was cheep. going to ur doctor and ask him/her to prescribe something that actually works. im 17 and i have been trying to find something for about 4 years and someone told me to ask my doctor cuz they know whats good for your skin. and it worked. my skin is clear almost. (ive only been using for 2 months) my friends have tried proactive and said it was a waste of money. ive tried every clean and clear product out there nothing works. your doctor knows what will work for ur skin in peticular. the others are ment for everyone, no specifics, and everyone is diffrent."

wilmiebread replied: "I dont know but it might help,it is a cure for heart burn.Drink lots of water to wash out all impurities in your body .Go to a health food store and then try a homopatheic doctor and a dermatologist."

hummingbird replied: "no but it will clean your insides out!! You can dilute it with water and put it on you acne."

evie replied: "no. thats an old wives tale. go to your dermotoligest and talk to them about what might work for you. some dermos recomend proactiv solution for mild acne. if your acne is more severe, they will prob. put you on a regime of topical antibiotics and oral antibiotics. if you have very severe cystic acne they will put you on accutane."

Hottie replied: "Apple cider vinegar is actually good for losing weight. Dont use prescription, proactiv or any of that stuff all it does is irritate your skin and acne keeps on coming back beacuse that only treats it doesnt cure so your gonna have to keep on buying, thats how they make money. #1 Cause of acne is dairy prodcuts, stop consuming them and i guarantee you will see acne begin to disappear until its completely gone, also look into a detox diet."

adobeprincess replied: "Oh I would avoid drinking it. It is okay in a small amount on a salad dressing. Drinking it sounds too harsh. How about just taking a multivitamin? If you are having trouble affording acne medication there are better ways. You can use which hazel as a toner topically. It is available in generic at some stores. You can also look for a 5% benzoyl peroxide cream. It will have some other name probably, but just look for an inexpensive or generic one. Get a mild glycerin soap or other mild soap that is not drying and is inexpensive. Get something that rinses off and is not drying or moisturizing. If you can afford it use proactive 3 step or go to a dermatologist. Vinegar is really not the 1st line of action. If you are looking the natural route you can look for some soap with tea tree oil in it at the natural store. I have noticed that some of the products they have there contain salicylic acid which is a product used in conventional stores. The natural store sells it for a much more expensive price. They also sell the witch hazel for a higher price."
