Green Tea

if you were using any products like Proactive,Olay,Etc. You might want to hold off on green tea for about a week.Your face may not be able to handle this sudden change of products and may result in breakouts,thus,making it worse.

I never had acne in high school. I only began to break out when I turned 20 or so. I've tried everything...Proactive, Murad, Birth Control (Yasmin and Ortho Tri-Cycline lo), Retin-A, antibiotics, and most of the time I took a combination. All controlled it somewhat, but never completely cleared it up. The only thing I haven't tried is Acutane... and I really don't want to deal with my face peeling on a daily basis (although Retin A had the same effect). I have been drinking green tea pretty regularly (around 4 cups a day) for about a year now, and I haven't noticed that it's really helped. I've since stopped Yasmin and it's gotten worse. I've never tried actually applying the tea bag to my face though, but I drink enough of it, might as well give it a shot.

Hii :) I have been drinking Green Tea for the past two weeks at about five cups per day. I usually suffer from breakouts but havent occured any since! The only thing recently added in my regimen is green tea and I belive this is quite the cure. Please try and if it doesnt help with acne, it is beneficial for your body!

The tea does not remove all acne, but it most definately does help. I drink 2-3 cups a day, everyday.

i was wondering if u put the bag on your face when it its hot, warm, or cold? I just started using it but wanted to make sure I was doing it the right way. thx

This is for reviewing green tea as a topical: Using green tea topically didn't really help me. I purchased Organic 100% matcha green tea from Whole Foods and applied a tablespoon of fresh brew everyday for approx 3 weeks. After the first week, my eyes became really puffy, so I was careful not to get green tea in my eyes. After the 2nd week, I noticed parts of my cheeks are temple were getting increasingly red and irritated. Near the end of the 2nd week, I discontinued use due to the increasing irritation and the appearance of dead skin around my temple. During this entire experiment my acne worsened slightly.

nothing has worked for my acne so I gave this a try. Drank 3-5 cups a day and used a tea bag on my face for about 3 months and it did not help my acne at all.

it works...try it...=D

I was born and raised in Japan and probably consumed more green tea than anyone listed here in my life. Since child, everyday I probably drank at least a pint of brewed tea from new crop, decent grade ($10-$20/100g) green tea leaves. Now that living in the states, I get them shipped directly from a farmer.... I don't like drinking cold water or soft drinks so this is the way for me to stay hydrated. But I DO have to battle with my moderate adult acne. Nonetheless, it's probably a lot healthier than drinking coffee. While I was in grad school, I used to drink a shot of espresso and a pot of Earl Grey tea every morning...That did made my skin oily and out of control along with stresses of being in highly competitive environment. I do not believe consuming green tea would cure acne, but cutting down coffee, soft drinks and other sugary drinks might help reduce oil production on your skin.

now, i've been drinking more than 6 cups of green tea everyday for the past yer. i don't believe that it clears up acne since i still continue to have severe acne. after going on this website and hearing form people that i'm suppose to rub the wet green tea bag on my face, i tried it. after trying it for over a month, my face has worsed slightly. i begun growing more huge, red cysts and whiteheads ever since i begin rubbing the bag onto my face. what a big disappointment
