As mentioned in one of the above posts, apple cider vinegar is a folk remedy for many things, including acne. There are many, many testimonials on the web attesting to its effectiveness. You can use it in the bath or dilute it and put on your face, but the most effective way seems to be to take a tablespoon or two in water.
The problem: Most people find it repulsive. Personally, I've been using it in water for a few months -- it has single-handedly cured my acid reflux, which was becoming debilitating. My little brother started adding it to a bath because he has bad acne, and it helped a lot, but he refuses to drink it.
Now that I'm accustomed to the taste, drinking it is not so bad. It's kind of like wine, which becomes more tolerable after a while. Unfortunately, it never becomes enjoyable, like wine. If I pour too much in my water, I still can hardly drink it. I always brush my teeth after too, because I'm scared that the acid content will wear away my tooth enamel.
The good news: It's very cheap, even the organic kind (which is recommended). Moreover, now they have pills! They are more expensive but still don't break the bank. I'm not sure how effective the pills are for acne, but I'm trying to get my brother to take them (he has problems swallowing pills).
Listen -- I was skeptical of this cure, especially because it was featured in that bestselling book "Cures They Don't Want You to Know" (or something like that) by that one bozo scam artist, but this one truly seems to work. I definitely think it's worth a try!
