Pros:

- Exfoliating
- Soothing
- Natural
- Dries up Pimples, not entire face
- Smells great!

Cons:

- a little messy (but who cares!)

After a couple weeks of drinking 3-4 cups a day of green tea, I've started using it as a topical treatment. After drinking my tea (with a bit of honey) I mix the leaves in with my benzol peroxide cleanser, it's soothing, exfoliating and drys up pimples... it's incredible!!!

Pros:

no new spots coming up! redness reduced! very cheap

Cons:

doesnt taste nice at first but you get used to it!

this gets you clean on the inside! a lot of people try to get clean on the outside with creams and facial stuff! this has a lot of antioxins which gets rid of all the bad stuff in your body therefor reducing bacteria! this stuff is amazing!

Pros:

Clears my my whole face, especially my chin massively in just about a week!

Cons:

None

I drink Diet Green Tea With Citrus from Kirkland/Cosco and it has cleared my chin up amazingly. I break out on my chin pretty bad but drinking this stuff just about (everyday) really flushes those nasty toxins in my body! I have had acne since I was about 11-12 years old and now I am 16. I have had pretty bad acne, but drinking this stuff really helped, and this is the first review I have EVER written! I go to a dermatologist, tried everything you could imagine except Accutane because I've heard bad side effects. Usually drinking Green tea and Lemon water will clear you from the inside, but you have to be consistent. I just love it so much!

Pros:

reduces pimple size
calms redness
makes skin soft
works quickly
Not expensive
Scars seems to being fading quickly too
natural

Cons:

sort of messy
need to clean up area where you were leaning over (or wherever) while putting it on face immediately or will stain

I am reviewing green tea as a mask (as opposed to a drink). I use organic full leaf green tea. I put the tea bag in a coffee mug with only a quarter of the way filled with water. I do such a little amount of water so the water will be super concentrated. Then after I heat it up in the microwave, I let it cool a little and pat the tea bag all over my face. Also I use a cotton ball to distribute the tea water all over my face that way too. I clean up any of the tea water that has spilt on the sink/counter immediately after. I have been just keeping the tea bag in the small amount of water to continue to get it very concentrated and putting the mug bag in the fridge. I use this at night. Every morning when I wake up my pimples have been reduced in size, and others have been cleared completely. I always have a couple of cystic acne on my face and they have also reduced in size and redness, or haven't even hit the surface because I was able to catch it in time with this regimen. Redness is reduced and even scaring has faded dramatically. I am very happy with the way it works and want to continue using it. I highly recommend this. I have also been drinking only a cup of green tea/day. I have a hard time with the taste - but I may be able to work up to 3 cups/day after a while of getting used to it... One last thing - I have been using egg white mask in the morning too (and been exfoliating twice a week with st ives invigorating) just in case anyone was wondering.

Pros:

soothes irritation
clears redness and cystic acne
natural
inexpensive

Cons:

none

I've been using soooo many different products for acne from cheap to high end but none work for me. One day grandma suggested to me to try putting green tea bags after washing my face and OH MY GOD it works for me! been using for 3 days and i could tell the huge difference. Thanks Green Tea! I hope this will last forever. will be back after couple of months for updates. To those who suffered from acne please give this a try! I know how depressing it is.

Pros:

Clears skin right up and keeps it clear!
Lose weight
Feel healthy and energised

Cons:

None whatsoever!

I used to suffer from very bad acne in my senior year of High School. Coming up to the end of my senior year, my friend recommended I drink green dea to help me lose a bit of weight (for my formal). I'd drink 2-4 cups a day and found that not only was I losing the weight, my skin looked was crystal clear! At the time, I wasn't aware that it was the tea that was doing this. At the end of my senior year, I stopped drinking tea. As the months progressed, and I entered University, my skin returned to it's acne-ridden state. Recently, I've discovered why my skin was so clear - green tea. As soon as I realised this, I rushed off to the shop and bought green tea! Drink it, guys! This stuff is amazing not only for acne, but your health in general!

Sensitive skin miracle worker
At the age of 24, I have finally found a topical solution for my porous, sensitive, combination acne prone skin. Routine: make a cup of well steeped green tea in the morning, apply 1-3 tablespoons on the afflicted/prone areas with cotton balls and drink the rest. It should taste bitter when well steeped. This still works well if you use makeup -use the green tea as a toner and make sure it is dry before you continue with your routine. Repeat application of the tea on your skin before you go to bed. *Also, it is very important to gently cleanse all affected areas before using the green tea.* Within a couple of days trying this, there was noticeable reduction of acne on my chest, back and the sides of my face (the problem areas) as well as reduction of redness (irritation/inflammation) around my nose, mouth and eyebrows. Out of the thousands of dollars I have spent over the years on topical products meant to clear up acne, (cheap) green tea has worked the best. No joke. Good old, store brand green tea.... I wish I had known sooner. Both drug store and dermatologist prescribed creams and medications did not help my skin and often left it in worse condition. I highly recommend to try green tea first before blowing loads of money on expensive products! Your skin will thank you for it, especially if it has been left damaged, dried or burned by said products... A bit more detail: I have hormonal acne. Using green tea has gotten my skin the closest to 'clear' as when I was on the the pill. Hope this helps!

I have hormonal acne too. Did you try the Acne.org regimen? Did it worked out well for you? I'm on my first week with the regimen.

Very Good
If you want to masturbate and are scared of breaking out, drink a cup of green tea before and after you do it. I can now do it whenever I want without breaking out. From the research I've done, green tea blocks your body from transforming testosterone into dht, which is 10x more powerful than testosterone and causes hormonal breakouts. I'm drinking this stuff daily now with really good results. Add some lemon juice with it also, vitamin c increases the absorbincey of green tea.

Pros:

-Clears up acne
-It's natural
-tastes great
-it's pretty dang cheap

Cons:

-none

I love green tea. It's a miracle worker. I seriously tried EVERYTHING under the sun to clear my skin and nothing helped, until I tried green tea. There was a clinical study that proved green tea as effective as benzoyl peroxide, and less damaging to the skin. My skin routine includes washing my face with the tea bags twice a day and drinking at least 3 cups a day. Seriously, if nothing else has worked for you, or if you want to stop treating your skin with harsh chemicals, try green tea.

Pros:

Clears Acne
Boosts your Metabolism
Clears your digestive system
Super Healthy

Cons:

Doesn't taste very good

I too tried it all, Neutrogena, Skin ID, Clearasil, etc. Nothing worked, and half of them gave me more acne scars. Green tea works, absolutely. I tried rubbing a tea bag on my face and already it feels much smoother and clearer. I've been drinking green tea for a month now, and no i dont excersise and I've already lost some weight too. I totally recomend this, it's cheap, its healthy, and it works. Plus I'm the kind of person who gets sick A LOT, and the day after i drank it, all my stuffiness and sinuses went away. Helps clear acne, boosts your metablosim, and helps you get better when sick.
