Pros:
IT WORKS!
Cons:
Annoying to apply.
PUT IT ON YOUR FACE. IT WORKS LIKE NOTHING ELSE! Gives your skin a nice smooth and tanned look.
You can actually feel it tightening the pores as it dries.

Pros:
Refreshing, whether applied to the skin or as a beverage.
Cons:
Frequent urination if consumed too often (typical of any caffeinated drink, however. If you replace a soda or coffee habit with a green tea one you probably wouldn't mind)
I only recently heard of the benefits for the complexion after being a long time tea-lover. I typically drink a lot of green tea during the day, between a half and a full gallon, and save the bags, keeping them moist and in the fridge. Shortly before bed, I take the bags and use them as if they were astringent pads, giving a concentrated amount of tea on my face. The results, for me, are hard to specify, due to the fact that I am currently using a Duac antibiotic gel and Retin-A Micro to control breakouts, but what I can say is that after applying the green tea to my face, my naturally oily skin becomes quite smooth and dry, without becoming too dry. This result is quite appealing, and regardless of whether it quells breakouts, I would highly recommend using it in this manner simply as a means to reduce the perils of an oily complexion, which I used to battle by using astringent several times a day, which can be quite brutal on the skin (drying out and sensitivity).

Pros:
Helps reduce the redness of the pimples and relaxes the skin ALOT! Of course, there are natural anti-oxidants in it.
Cons:
Uh... You tend to use the bathroom alot when, especially when you start drinking it religiously - thats about it.. And the taste is kinda odd for most people, but you do get use to it.
For people with Light to Moderate acne, I suggest you take about 1-2 cups of hot or cold green tea (not the grocery store kind too much sugar. Warm up some water with green tea in it and then chill it with ice in a glass). For Severe acne, I suggest taking 3-4 cups of Green tea, also hot or chilled. For me in a time interval of 2 hours of drinking green tea, the redness in my face began to automatically go down and my face wasn't as puffy. I have SEVERE acne for a little asian girl... Pizza Face, is my nickname - But when I used Green tea the swelling and pain of my inflamed pimples went down dramatically. I highly recommend if your face is inflamed with acne to cool it with ice and the right amount of green tea. It worked wonders for me - and I only tried 3 cups today and in 2 hours - BANG - the swelling is reduced. I'll continue to use this product along with other medications - Its worth it! GREEN TEA - the wonder drink!

Pros:
it works when you put it on your face.
Cons:
can stain sink and cloth when the tea bag drips so rinse the sink off immediately
i wash my face and then dry it and then rub my face with the tea bag. i drink the tea while i let the tea (from the tea bag) dry on my face. however, sometimes i can only do this at night because it leaves a greenish tinge on my skin (but i do leave it on in the day as long as i'm not going anywhere).

It worked but not completely
Green tea is great. I drink it three times a day after every meal (it can cause acid reflux if you drink it on empty stomach). Probably any loose tea (not in tea bags) will work but I have been drinking Gyokuro (probably the most expensive but I buy Chinese, which is cheaper) and Thai Nguyen (Vietnamese, cheap but good quality). I take a table spoon per cup, let it steep in 80 °C water for 20 minutes. Put tea in and let it cool in a teapot, no need to keep it on a stove to keep it at 80 °C. The taste will be bitter but once you get used to it, it is actually very pleasing. If the bitterness is unbearable either the temperature was too high or the tea is bad quality (or maybe you just need to get used to it). Although the tea helps greatly I'd like to note that only after removing gluten from my diet my acne disappeared altogether.

Pros:
Helps you from the inside
You will see the difference in a week
using the teabag on the skin also helps.
Cons:
It may taste a bit bitter the first time but you will get used it.
Green tea is really good and my acne is not 100% gone but I feel if I keep on drinking green tea it will help!

Pros:
- Tastes good(when lightly sweetened)
- Natural diuretic - will flush out excess water weight but will make you pee A LOT.
- Easy to make
- Gives you more energy
Cons:
- Doesn't seem to make a difference in my acne breakouts.
- Seems to be making my breakouts worse but not completely sure.
- Possibly dehydrating?
I really only like drinking chilled green tea in the hot months because it's very refreshing. I buy the Limpton Green Tea which is pretty good and brew my own at home. I usually make a quart at a time and sweeten it with a few teaspoons of sugar and that's it. I feel like drinking this makes my acne breakouts worse, possibly because of the caffeine content, or maybe it's causing my skin to become worse BEFORE it gets better. I'll continue drinking it for a few more weeks but if my skin continues to break out like this I'll have to stop.
