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!

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

Taste is dissatisfying ;[

WOWWW ! green tea really works . I needed something natural that has many good benefits. My skin is very sensitive and i had a few pimples[papules]. Though my skin was very reddd ! >_< I HATED IT! so i went on the internet and searched for a fast problem solver. I found out that Green Tea helps with a lot of benefits for your health from Skin , Weight , and Cancer ! I tried a cup and it was horrible ! but just add honeyyy :] to sweeten it . dont put sugar , then its not natural ! =D Im taking 2-3 cups a day and it helped dramatically ! i still have 2 pimples on my face that i really want to get rid of , but i'll let time and green tea heal it ;] i love this drinkkkk <3

Pros:

Completely eliminated acne and is good for the body too!

Cons:

I can't find any

I have tried over the counter medication, Proactiv, anything to get rid of my acne and nothing, NOTHING has worked like green tea. I have suffered with acne (including cystic) since I was 13 - I am now 32 and have not had a pimple since December 08 when I started drinking at least 3 cups of green tea a day. I read that a lot of people don't like the taste of just plain green tea (I don't particularly like it myself) but I have found flavored works just as well - you may want to try the Lipton Green Tea Collection, some of the flavors include Lemon Ginseng, Mint & Mixed Berry.

Pros:

Eliminates oil
Makes skin brighter
Dries up pimples

Cons:

None

Drinking green tea won't clear up your acne on it's own. You have to change your diet as well. So, along with drinking green tea I have a very healthy diet, exercise, do breathing techniques to relieve stress, take 3000mg of Omega 3 fish oil, and plenty of water. With doing all that I have noticed a huge change. Some things that are bad for your skin that I have noticed are gluten, wheat, dairy, sugar and caffeine so I have almost eliminated those harmful things and my face looks much better. Green tea was the last thing I added to my diet and it has been amazing! I drink 4 cups a day of caffeine free real green tea from China that I get from a health food store.

Pros:

Made my skin smother, takes away acne, its inexpensive

Cons:

Makes my stomach hurt just a lil bit

I had a forehead full of giant pimples for about 2-3 weeks they did not want to go away. I started drinking Lipton Green Tea a week ago, I drink 3-4 cups a day and wash my face once a day with St. Ives apricot scrub for blemishes. My pimples started going away within 2 days. Note: I was using the St. Ives face wash by itself and it did not do much to clear my acne. Now im on my 5th day and my forehead is almost clear. i'm just waiting for the scars to fade away. the green tea works good.

Pros:

If you use it topically (rub a used bag of DECAF green tea on your face two or three times a day, don't wash off) it will reduce oiliness and over a month or two significantly decrease acne

Cons:

A little messy. Be careful with white clothing, as it will stain. Can be tough if you have a beard, which can shred the tea bag.

I have a longer review below. I just wanted to check back in and say that this is still working amazingly for after six month. After having acne for 15 years, this is the ONLY thing that has ever decreased my oil production and consistently decreased acne. My face is clear now and has been for months. Just remember: (1) drink DECAF tea and use only decaf tea bags. Caffeine is bad for your skin and will increase acne. People keep saying green tea makes their skin worse, but that's the caffeine, not the tea; (2) use it topically at least twice a day. You can layer BP over it if you like.

Pros:

Worked almost instantly! Tastes good and is inexpensive. Not to mention all of the health benefits.

Cons:

None that I can think of!!!!

After reading all the reviews yesterday, and the fact that I already love drinking green tea, I figured I had nothing to lose by rubbing the tea bag on acne. I am amazed! The redness went away immediately and the bumps went down within minutes. My friend even said that my face looked better, and she'll have to try it. Fantastic!!!

Pros:

Elminates redness and swelling. Draws out and heals pimples. Gets rid of excess oil.

Cons:

A bit drying so have to use an oil free moisturizer during the day.

This is the only thing that works on my acne prone highly allergic irritated skin. I brew up a big pot of it every night with 6 tea bags. After the tea steeps for about 5 minutes I take the bags out and cool them in the fridge. Then I put them all over my face...one over each eye, one over chin, forehead, cheeks. I lay down and leave them on for about 20 minutes while I meditate. When I take them off and look in the mirror there is a HUGE difference. No redness at all! Have been doing this regimen daily for 2 weeks and I went from a red, inflamed pimply face to ZERO pimples or irritation. For the first time in 2 years my natural alabaster complexion with slightly rosy cheeks is visible. The next day I drink all the tea I brewed cold with no sugar. This is quite a bit of tea but I love it!
