Green Tea

i'm half japanese, so tea has always been a big part of my diet and identity! i did however go through a bit of a stage where i didn't drink any tea for some reason, and broke out in intensely painful spots! i've always had nice skin, and a good complexion so it was kinda acary! green tea is so inexpensive these days, get yourself to a chinese supermarket and you can get a large quantity for half the price of what you'll find on the high street or in supermarkets, and there are so many vareities, and so many flavours it can boggle your mind! in Japan, people swear by green tea as a health supplement, and people rarely get skin problems like they do over here! this method works great for nice skin, but you do have to commit to it and adjust your diet to accomodate drinking lots of tea!! it's not a quick fix!!!

I have had problem skin since I was 13 years old and I have tried EVERYTHING (all the over the counter products in existance, proactive, antibiotics, the birth control pill etc etc etc). My acne is mild-moderate so my doctor decided I was not a candidate for Accutane, which from some of the reviews I have heard is a good thing! I'm in my 20s now, and although my skin has calmed down, it is far from perfect. Starting my first full time job, I needed a quick caffine fix in the mornings and I don't drink coffee... so I went to the common cafeteria and stumbled upon green tea and decided to drink it for no other reason then I needed caffine. Well, the results that I have seen in the past month are incredible! My existing breakouts have really cleared up, and no new ones have emerged. I still have some markings, but the redness and swelling of the spots has much improved making it easier to cover with make-up-- i even felt confident enough to go without coverup a few mornings!

Green tea is a great acne treatment. I recommend rubbing your face with the teabag after drinking. It has helped my face a lot and I hope it does the same to yours:)

I am taking green tea from last 5 days and no more acne so far. Feeling top of the wall. MUST TRY 3 cups a day. Cheers have a acne free life.

I have been drinking two cups of green tea to replace my two cups of coffee. I use the warm (not hot) tea bag on my face as an astringent. In the first week, the results were really great. I'm in week two and all the redness seems to have subsided. I had be religiously using other expensive products but simple green tea seems to work as well if not better.

I have been drinking 3 to 5 cups of gunpowder loose green tea a day from the past week to see if it helps with acne. as of right now, I haven't noticed a major changes, but my digestive system has been working far more efficiently, which can only help I hope. I will update in the coming weeks. also, I normally drink nothing but a ton of water, so any changes won't be due to not drinking soda, juice, milk, etc. I also want to add that I eat a pretty healthy diet in general, alot of fruits, vegetables and chicken. not much processed or instant food. I do occasionally go crazy and binge on a whole pack of ores or bucket of cookie dough....trying to get those sugar spikes under control.

Okay, so I've been drinking Green/Herbal Tea by Lipton and I LOVE it! I used to never drink tea (except iced tea), but Lipton changed my mind. Now I drink it around 3-4 times a week and I believe I see a major improvement in my skin, whether it's acne-wise or redness-wise. I also take a antibiotic so I'm not completely sure tea is the one solving the acne but I'm sure it's doing something! Herbal/Green tea is overall the best drink ever, it has so many health benefits! Definitely give it a try for a week or two. I think you'll see an improvement! Also, it's incredibly cheap!

I personally love green tea.. I don't think it's the cure all for acne.. but It's soothing, may help you de-stress.. and I certainly don't believe the antioxidants in it can hurt!

Just fantastic. Since the first day it has worked and it's just amazing! I haven't had such great skin in YEARS. Finally my skin looks wonderful. I'm kind of unhappy about the fact that I've found this great solution that late - all that frustration with my acne for so many years... it would have never existed! Actually I'm using it with Roa because I'm not sure whether I finally can go without Roa. But even with Roa I still had acne. In combination with green tea all problems have gone! __ Edit: I needed to drink too much green tea to have good effects, green tea pills didn't work. Unfortunately I forgot which brand I drank. All the brands I used later on didn't taste good or didn't work. Result: Bad skin again. :/ Now I'm trying Dutasterid and later maybe Sprionolactone (see my other review).

Im one of thoses people who have tried EVERY brand, so about a month ago, i gave up and just exfoliate in the morning, use cream spot wash at night, drink LOTS of water and have a cup of green tea a day, and my skin allready is brighter and spot free! I recomend this very much to all those people who give up on brands! it works:)!xxxx
