Cons:
A COMPLETE NIGHTMARE. Made my acne 10 times worse. I'm 21 but felt like I was transported back to when I was 15 with horrible skin.
I took this for about 2 months with this best of intentions. After reading in countless places online and on this site about how this can reduce the activity of 5 alpha reductase, by concerting testosterone to DHT, I thought it could work not just for my skin but also for my hair loss. But my acne gradually got worse and bordering on severe. After about 1 and a half I had enough.
I don't think this was a case of me not giving it enough time or "it gets worse before it gets better"....it simply got worse and stayed worse. My hormones were raging. I began researching more and read other peoples experiences where they claimed it increased the activity 5 alpha reductase. And as soon as I stopped the worst of it subsided. And then I had great big purple marks from where the worst spots had been and they were just as bad as real spots.
I experienced increased sex drive and I also lost a little weight. I advice anyone who is considering supplementing on this to have caution.

Pros:
Tastes good
Cons:
Can get a bit boring
I have only started drinking green tea and so far it tastes great but I've not seen any improvement in my skin. I have acne from time to time and it's not necessarily helped. I am not sure how to use it on my face and I don't want to try unless it makes anything worse. It tastes good with lemon or low cal sweetener (i only add sweetener sometimes) and after reading comments on here I hope it gets rid of my acne or at least reduces it.
Pros:
Topically: Can improve skin tone + quell breakouts. But seemed to become ineffective after a while or possibly my acne got worse and it couldn't handle it.
As for drinking it: I'LL NEVER TAKE THIS AGAIN!!
