Get Gorgeous Herb Tea for Clear Skin No. 1, 36 Tea Bags - Republic of Tea
Reviewed by: Satisfied, Ohio
Oct 6th, 2008
Pros: I like the fruity, earthy taste. It has helped my skin tremendously, in conjunction with my Astara skincare products.
Cons: It's a bit expensive.
Bottom Line: I have used almost EVERY skincare line at Sephora and used all types of mineral makeup. I've tried all the popular skin prescriptions (Retin-A products and antibiotics/cremes). I have the money so I've been able to test try quite a bit over the past 10 years. The Astara blue flame products are amazing for my skin and don't irritate my skin when making my zits go away (since my body and skin seem to only take well to ALL NATURAL ingredients) but I kept on getting NEW breakouts. I have been drinking the Get Gorgeous tea for a couple of weeks now and I have not had one new blemish!! My skin scars easily and they don't go away for maybe 6 months to 1 year, so this product is Heaven sent! I really like earthy sweet, no flowery tea, so this is more of a treat to drink than anything! :) I'm going out of the country for a couple of weeks and am going to be sure to take this with me.

Pros: It smells good, leaves skin soft, and I noticed a difference within a couple weeks.
Cons: Makes skin feel a little dry, so I suggest using a moisturizer. Results come very slowly.
Bottom Line: I love the product, but I wish it had faster results.

Pros: None
Cons: Nausea, thirsty, not effective
Bottom Line: I have used this medication for three weeks and my acne has not improved at all. The only change I have seen while taking this medication is that it makes me nauseated. Besides the nausea, I have had to change my eating habits in order to take it. Basically, it has not been effective for me.

Pros: Skin is much much softer and brighter, sun damage is less, pimples go away quicker
Cons: My face broke out with cystic type acne after 3 weeks, but those were pimples I could feel under my skin but had not come to the surface. Peeling around the zits hurt
Bottom Line: I love this product. I read a lot of reviews before using it and knew my acne would get worse before it got better and I could feel big clogged pores under my skin that the medicine brought up to the surface. It was cystic type but only a couple on my chin, which is my biggest problem area anyway. I am approaching 5 weeks and my skin over all looks much brighter, and softer. Don't really need foundation but still using it while the pimples heal to hide some of the redness. I can't wait to see what my skin will look like after 12 weeks. I'm sticking it out since I think the worst part is over. It's also lightened a lot of the sun damage spots I had on my face. I'm really happy with the result so far. Try it, but know that you will go through some very tough weeks.

Pros: Really clears skin and completely reduces pimples!
Cons: None that I can think of
Bottom Line: I have tried EVERYTHING from proactive to benzaclin to clean and clear to tazorac and nothing works. I just decided to try this for some reason and for the first week it made my skin look like total s**t, but now (about 2 weeks later) my skin looks amazing! It has cleared everything its amazing. My boss even asked me what I use for my skin, and my acne is ususally very inflamed and very very red, so that question made me feel great. I recommend everyone to try it at least once, I never thought just a cleanser would clear me up, but it worked 100%
