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

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.

Smells great
Cheap

Made skin produce more oil
Dried out areas of my skin

This cleanser did clear up my breakouts but not as well as I would have liked it to. I didn't find that it irritated my skin but it kind of made the skin around my nostrils dry out. Also it made my skin produce more oil than normal, which then caused me to have tiny almost invisible little bumps all over my face, and although they were invisible they were annoying.

Helped redness and swelling a little bit.

Did not really help my breakouts, was drying to my skin.

Might be good for those with very oily skin, but not drier sensitive skin. I DO, however, like the Green Tea Scrub, but I mix it with a creamier moisturizing cleanser so it's not as harsh. That seems to work well.

Smells fine, color is fine, lathers GREAT!

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.

-Doesn't smell bad
- Cleanses well

- 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).

Quickly clears whiteheads
Lasts for a long time

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.
