Green but not Great
Not a fantastic product. Does nothing for inflamed acne at all. Didint really see any improvements after a 2 month use. Discontinued for something else. It does, however, smell nice, and the green tea element is good, however green tea by its self is a much better option :)

Acne begins to form deep below the skin's surface as much as three months before it erupts. You need to give any product at least 4 months to judge the results.

Pros:

-Doesn't smell bad
- Cleanses well

Cons:

- Very, very drying for those who don't have very oily skin.

I had used another version of this years ago, and it worked fantastically. They stopped making it, and I switched to Clean and Clear Continuous Cleanser, which worked okay, but I would have cystic breakouts on my chin. I jumped at the chance to use this again. It worked great for the first few days, cleared everything up. Then after a couple of days it dried my skin so bad it actually cracked in a couple of places (even with moisturizer).

Great
Should not use it during winter seasons because it dries out the skin. When weather is hot though, My skin becomes oilier. Nevertheless, It helps my skin redness and small red bumps. I tried using it as medication for huge inflammations/cysts by putting it with a q-tip and leave it for a while after steaming a face and it works quite well

Pros:

Has sacylic acid in it
Green Tea suppose to help your skin as well

Cons:

-Never improved my skin at all
-Made me break out even more on my forehead

It never improved my skin at all and made it worst on my forehead for me. But i kept using is as well using witch hazel afterwords. I wish it helped me clear my pimples just never did. Probably need a Bp with it as well to do the trick I bet.

Pros:

face feels fresh and clean...

Cons:

after 2 weeks of use my face started to break out... Before using this product I was on Dans BP regimen and my face actually responded well to it. A big mistake adding St. Ives green tea cleanser.

This cleanser might work for some people...

Pros:

Smells fine, color is fine, lathers GREAT!

Cons:

The smell (acidic tea?), STINGS!!, awkward to use.

I like this product, but it seems too harsh for me. The salicylic acid is really not that effective.

Pros:

Quickly clears whiteheads
Lasts for a long time

Cons:

Doesn't work after a while of use
Didn't help blackheads

I wouldn't really reccomend it. It works at first and then doesn't work after about a month, you start breaking out again.
