| Pros | it really does help get rid of acne from the inside out. it also works ok topically, like rubbing the tea bag on your face. doing that dried out my face a little bit though |
|---|---|
| Cons | taste nasty!!!!! the taste makes me want to puke! but adding lemon juice or honey helps it not taste so bad. and you have to drink like 4 or 5 cups a day for it to work so you people who are drinking like one cup a week shouldnt even be writing reviews cause your making green tea look like it doesnt work just cause your using it wrong! |
| Bottom line | its not a cure unless you have mind acne but drinking 4 for 5 cups a day along with a topical regimine will probably help clear you up. but the reason i stoped drinking it is cause it just taste so nasty to me and it started staining my teeth |

| Pros | *Cheap *Effective |
|---|---|
| Cons | *For some people, the taste |
| Bottom line | I have been drinking green tea for about a month, and have seen great results... I drink this 2-5 times each day (I don't mind the taste at all) and It not only makes my skin clear and soft, but it keeps me calm and relaxed... perfect to drink right before going to bed. |

| Cons | the taste for some people |
| Bottom line | i've been suffering from cystic acne since 2 years ago.. i've been with my dermatologist since highschool, now i'm in college.. all those chemicals and constant pricking made my skin hyper-sensitive. i didn't like the idea of having to rely on the dermatologist. it also made it hard for me to travel. so i experimented on a lot of alternative medicines. -acupuncture (works well) -food supplements -vit C and fish oil.. -aloe vera masks -the real plant (removes scars without burning or stinging) -green tea all of these made me clearer and clearer drink it.. acne can be a manifestation of hidden health or lifestyle issues.. -the skin is also an organ -don't stress yourself out too much -stay away from sugar, fast food, junk food -eat real food -drink lots of water -sleep ---> this is when the body heals itself be beautiful, from the inside - out! |

| Pros | nothing |
|---|---|
| Cons | I think it made my acne slightly worse |
| Bottom line | Drank 3 cups a day. No improvement at all. These reviews on this site have to be bullsh*t because I'm trying all the home remedies and none of them work. |

| Pros | With regular use, you will undoubtedly see results. |
|---|---|
| Cons | 1. For some, perhaps the taste (not me) 2. Its not a miracle cure, you need will power and remain resilient as you go through the process. |
| Bottom line | These are my experiences with Green tea and I only provide this to inform you of my own experiences with green tea. I should perhaps start by saying my acne consisted of mainly cystic acne, at any given time I would have 3/4 cystic bumps, so at any given time I had a lot more scars than actual spots. I also didnt get acne till I was 19 and now Im 24. I started drinking green tea regularly, approximately 3 1/2 months ago. At first I noticed I was so much more energised and also noticed that I no longer craved sweet things. Prior to drinking green tea, I used to get awful sugar cravings which aggravated my acne - I noticed that when I ate chocolate or sweets I would get an awful cycstic breakout - even 1/2 bar of chocolate was enough to do. So you needless to say Im not going to miss the sugar cravings. I should also mention that everyone will see an improvement, its just that the rate of improvement is different from everyone. No doubt youve read people whose acne went away after drinking the tea for a week. For me its taken 3-4 months, and whilst Im not completely there, I havent had a cyst for over 1 month. I have spots that come and go on the surface but even they're on the way out & quite manageable. I dont get any spots on my forehead at all. I can now work on reducing the scarring, which have also reduced in appearance immensely also. Note that you may need to alter your diet to ensure effectiveness. At the very least, reduce dairy product intake and sugar intake & increase Fiber intake. My Regime: 1) I drink Organic (nothing else will work!) loose green tea 2-3 times a day. You can use organic tea bags too. 2) Drink 6-7 glasses of water a day Facemask: Started to do them daily, then every other day & then reduced them to twice a week. Ingredients 4 mask: 1) Green tea 2) Chick Pea flour 3) pinch of SEA salt 4) pinch of Tumeric powder 5) a little water to make paste ALT: 1) G |

| Pros | Quickly reduces size of existing pimples when applied topically, reduces the number of breakouts when you drink it, inexpensive, healthy. |
|---|---|
| Cons | None. |
| Bottom line | I have been drinking 5-6 cups of green tea, as well as applying it directly to my skin, for about a week and a half. I was seeing results by the third day. Normally when I have one of those big puss-filled pimples, it takes weeks before it is gone and the red mark it leaves behind is gone. With this treatment, it took a day or two for the pimple to be gone, and the scar faded in another day or two. I've also noticed I have had little to no new pimples form in the time that I've been using green tea. Green tea is incredibly healthy and inexpensive. I wish I had tried this treatment 8 years ago - I've been on (and am currently on) so many prescriptions for my acne, none of which has done more than an average job of helping out my acne. The difference in my skin quality in about 10 days is incredible. If you don't like the taste of green tea, get over it. This is such a simple, worthwhile, and healthy treatment. On a side note, I used to be addicted to coffee, but ever since I started drinking green tea (the decaffeinated kind!) I haven't found coffee as appealing and I've felt pretty energetic. This would be a good thing to try if you are trying to reduce the amount of caffeine you drink. |

| Pros | Reduces redness amazingly, dries up pimples, great astringent, love drinking green tea |
|---|---|
| Cons | Doesn't taste that great without a little sugar, Bitter |
| Bottom line | I love using green tea on my acne!!! I used to have really bad acne. I'd get cystic pimples and lots of whiteheads over night. But now, I drink at least 1-2 mugs of green tea a day, and I get a cotton ball and use green tea as an astringent before bed. I've been following this routine for about a week and 1/2 now, and my skin looks great!!! All the redness is gone! I have to say my skin is a little dry, but that's alright. My acne is gone! There's no more cystic pimples, which I hate! My skin is back to it's beautiful, pale, self. Also, drinking all that green tea puts me in such a great and relaxed mood. =3 |

| Pros | Good for the body and skin. Helps in reducing weight, and has toned down the redness of my face. Less breakouts. Cheap. Attainable. |
|---|---|
| Cons | Taste is really bad if you drink it plain, but i like to add a teaspoon of honey to take away the bitterness. I've been peeing a lot lately because i drink it 3 times a day. |
| Bottom line | HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. I was using this a month ago and stopped because i haven't seen any changes. But the week after i stopped i noticed i was breaking out everywhere. I was still convinced that green tea was not gonna help me, so i applied honey all over my face every night, for a few days the honey was working, but after a week or so, the honey made me break out even more. So i started drinking green tea 3x a day and it was a BIG mistake for me to have discontinued using it because i saw improvements with my acne that the honey did to my face. And 1 more tip, do not talk on the phone too much ! i always talked on the phone with my boyfriend every night, and that gave me acne on me left cheek where i held the phone. A suggestion would be to clean your phone every night with rubbing alcohol, or lysol, or any disinfecting product. I still have lots of acne scars and a few active ones on my left cheek, but i'm noticing the improvements that green tea is doing to my face =) |

| Pros | just started it, 2 days ago. i've been drinking around 4 cups a day and applying the tea bag to my face twice a day before bathing. |
|---|---|
| Cons | the acne scars and pimples are not really vanishing like some said they got clear in 3 or 4 days. |
| Bottom line | hello everybody, i am highly depressed! i started getting pimples in april this year. at first it was minor, but recently it got really bad! whenever i get one pimple, after it goes away, it leaves a reddish or a black scars. so my cheeks are covered with such scars! i was never like this, last year at this time, i had a glowing skin! this problem is do depressive! i have tried everything! all sorts of topical acne creams, scrubs, mosturisers, face masks, face washes. I should say that i tried both cheap and expensive ones! but nothing really cured my acne. it got worse! and yes, i am nearly 22 and i have oily skin. since 1 week i am on a diet - no milk products at all, supplements of vit A, D, C and B, 6 litres of water, 5 fruit serves, i have lunch and dinner only and i eat nothing except from fruits in between. 2 days ago i started green tea. i read this blog and wanted to share my acne prob. i really dont know what to do. i was such a chirpy and happy girl. now i am so depressed. i dont feel like going out(luckily am in holidays!), i dont feel like talking to anyone. i was so confident of myself and loved myself so much! now i hate myself! i really need to clear my face or else i'l have a nervous breakdown. will green tea really help me? should i continue using it? i have stopped all the creams and actually i am just following my diet and taking the vitamins. i am hardly eating and i have always been underweight! i dont know what will happen to me |
