Yes it clears up the skin, but glycol acid clears up skin and so does sugar cane, sugar beets, grapes, and pine apples. Apple cider and vinegar are a common combination.

Apple cider, lemon juice or lime even baking soda. Because all of these have acids in them, it will lighten your skin. Yes it will have good results and most of the time it will stink. It is natural and safe. It reversible when you sun bather and you will be better, I've tried it and it works. All you do is mix any these stuff above leave on your skin for at least 30 minutes for the best results. You will see results within weeks and if your lucky days

Skin should have an acidic pH. Soaps are generally alkaline. Both vinegar and salt kills the bacteria, yeast and fungi which can cause or exacerbate acne.

Mix 1 Teaspoon salt with 1 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar (the best is the kind which has the clouds at the bottom. It's called 'Unfiltered' apple cider vinegar and has a living 'cloud' at the bottom that can help fight the bacteria on your face. The processing they do to vinegar kills this cloud (which is sometimes called 'mother')

Add 1 Tablespoon 100% Glycerine which can be bought at a Walmart or Walgreens store. It keeps the mixture from drying up on your face.

Add 6 drops of oregano oil and 6 drops of grapefruit seed extract (both available either on-line or from a health food store.

Each time you use the mixture, mix it with your finger as the salt will stay at the bottom. Put it on before you go to bed.

Because it kills bacteria, the mixture might increase the acne for a time as the stuff living in your pores dies. Keep using the mixture for weeks and you'll find your skin coming back to normal.

NO DO NOT PUT VINEGAR OR SALT ON YOUR FACE. All it will do is dry your face out and leave it cracked and damaged. If you want a good face and to get rid of dirt, pimples, sebum, and oil. Try...... PLAIN YOGURT i know it sounds crazy but trust me it works!!

Apple cider or even regular plain vinegar can be very helpful for clearing up acne. It can kill off acne causing bacteria, balance skin's pH, and absorb extra oil from skin.

First clean and dry your skin than apply diluted vinegar (eight parts water to one part vinegar) directly to skin with a cotton ball, and leave it on. Rinse off after ten minutes.

no ,you can use a certain kind of soap,and you can also use lemin juice...

Vinegar and salt mixed together is also known to be an acne scar remover. Spread them over the affected area as you would if you were using a cream. Remove from the face after about ten to twenty minutes.

No. Acne is a complex condition that is not effected by acetic acid taken orally.
