Ok used this as a toner for the first time. Mixed it 50/50 with water. It did smell a bit, but I've used some skin care stuff I didn't like the smell of either. The smell went away after a half hour or so. It did sting a bit and my face did get red. Sort of like using AHA for the first time. It was no where near as bad as a chemical peel and went away after about a half hour, I think applying moisturizer helped. I have sensitive combination skin. But everyone is different and someone else's skin may be more sensitive then mine. I will continue to use it and update in a few days.
I also drank a glass with 2 teasp of ACV in 8oz of water with a teasp. of honey mixed in and chugged it down like I would tequila. You could taste the ACV but it wasn't to bad. as long as you don't slow down.
Also got the virgin coconut oil but now I'm not sure what to do with it. I don't want to read through all 20 pages again as I just did it last night. Can someone give me a hint? Am I supposed to cook with it, mix it in something, drink it like a glass of milk? HELP!
Peace~

Ok I am still using the ACV as a toner. Still mixed about half and half with a little more water then ACV. It does not make my face red or sting at all any more. I would say it stopped after about the second or third time. It does still smell though lol but it fades really fast. I use it every morning and every night. It seems to be working just fine. No breakouts or anything, although I don't really notice any extra benefits from it then any other toner I've ever used other then it's a lot cheaper and lasts a lot longer.
I kind of got a way from drinking it, just not used to doing it. But I plan to start again tomm.
Hope this helps someone.
