Update

Okay so it's been like a week and a few days since I started this shit. I really can't say whether or not it's working. It seems like my skin is "purging" because a lot of my closed comedones on my forehead and chin turned into little pimples/whiteheads. I popped them really easily and then they healed quickly so that wasn't a big deal, and it honestly felt kind of cleansing like "yeah get that shit out of there!" I still have a lot of hyperpigmentation on my forehead from these/past breakouts but it's a lot smoother than when I started. I think my skin is less oily now, but I'm also not wearing moisturizer or makeup as much so I think that helps as well.

Right now the major thing going on on my face are these two random pimple twins on my cheek. They popped out of nowhere. I might have messed with that area of my face a.k.a. trying to squeeze something out there and then prompted a breakout so I don't think it's because of OCM or apple cider vinegar I think they're just whatever. Also Aunt flo just visited so it could be her presence. Whatever, I'm just praying they heal, slathering them with aquaphor every night and not picking! for real, I'm not.

Still taking ACV orally, using it as a toner, OCM with castor oil/grapeseed at night and jojoba oil as a moisturizer which I'm really liking, it feels not oily just like weirdly slick and I only use 2 drops.

not bad, just two spots that are healing and the rest is old stuff

hyperpigmentation galore–blends in with my moles

The evil mystery pimple and its friend.

I'm gonna keep at this for like a month I think, or maybe forever since it's as good as whatever I was using before. Also I just really like the whole warm washcloth/oil massage ritual, it's really relaxing and reviving. And I think the castor oil is making my lashes thicker. And in general I just feel better knowing that A) I'm not supporting the beauty industry and B) I'm not putting more carcinogens on me! Not convinced that either ACV or OCM are miracle workers but I still like them.
