Cons:
The caffeine may not agree with everyone. Not convinced that it will clear acne.
I'm not sure what to make of the many glowing reviews. I'm 25 and have mild but stubbern acne and have been drinking green tea everyday for at least 4 years. I actually drink both green tea and white tea (about 4 cups a day) which is supposed to have higher antioxident levels then green tea. I also brew the tea (organic) using the dry tea leaves not tea bags to maximise the antioxident levels i'm getting, however i have not found that it makes any diference to my acne or skin. Recently i gave up drinking it for a good 6 weeks and my acne is actually better, though it's probrably just a coincidence, acne has a mind of it's own, to be honest i've no idea what to think anymore...maybe i should try the tea bags on the face thing.

Pros:
This absolutely works!!! It helps your skin become smoother and even glow. Gets rid of unwanted pimples as well. It also aids in weight loss when you drink it because it is a diuretic.
Cons:
Drinking more than one cup of tea per day is dangerous. My mother is a nurse who has treated patients with kidney and liver problems because of too much tea consumption. Also, because it is a diuretic, it causes you to urinate A LOT! Be prepared.
Everything in moderation is a true saying with a true meaning. Green tea is proven to treat acne when applied to your face, as well as aid in weight loss when you drink it, but don't go overboard if you want good health.

Pros:
Inexpensive, multiple health benefits, appears to make skin slightly less oily
Cons:
None
Use green tea in combination with other methods. If your acne is severe/moderate, do low-dose accutane (no more than 20mg a day) and combine it with green tea. If mild, then do retin-a with green tea. I am surprised green tea works, but it really does. If it's not working, drink more (e.g., 6-10 cups a day). It does in fact have strong anti-inflammatory effects.

Pros:
you feel great! soft skin! helps with using the bathroom.
Cons:
lots of farts...
I've had acne problems for over 14 years. I did everything I could and spent so much money on products that worked only while I was on it. I even got on birth control but once you get off of it your acne comes back with a vengeance. I noticed that when I didn't drink sodas my face was fine but once i've had a can of coca cola i'd wake up with 2 new zits. I decided to cut off all fast food and sodas. I just started drinking green about 3 weeks ago. I have about 2 cups a day and drink about 6-8 cups of water. I try to stay stress free as well and not look at the mirror. I aslo noticed that the more I worried about my acne the wrose it got. exercise also helps I run for about 10 mins at least 3 times a week if I have time. The best way is to clean from within as well. I haven't gotten any zits for over a week!

I submitted a post a couple of weeks ago (see below) and in the mean time discovered "Get Gorgeous" tea by Republic of Tea. It is specifically for clear skin. It contains rooibos tea and other herbs, is naturally decaffienated and tastes pretty good. A bit pricey at $11 a canister (contains 36 tea bags). I drink 2 cups a day and I think it is helping with clearing up my skin. It is full of antioxidants and even has Chaste Berry which helps with female hormones. I'm still drinking a couple of cups of green tea too, but I think this tea is better.

Pros:
healthy, doesn't make it worse, makes your skin feel soft, helps you drink lots of water
Cons:
may not work for acne
I have been drinking about 2-4 cups of freshly brewed green tea everyday for 3 weeks and I don't really see a difference in my acne. My skin does feel softer and is somewhat glowy and rosy, but I still continue to break out. I have moderate adult acne that gives me a few blemishes and bigger zits continually. I hated the taste at first but am growing to like it. Add some lemon and a drop of honey. I drink organic green tea during the day and decaf at night. I am going to keep it up and see if it eventually helps.

Pros:
drinking green tea is helps, but washing your face in it is even better. steep the tea for a long time; the hue should be dark brown. you can use it cold or hot. wash when you normally wash your face. atleast twice per day. acne clears up daily.
Cons:
tea may stain the bathroom. a bit time consuming if you're really busy. a pain to lug that big bowl up and down the stairs. but it helps. it's worth it.
nice. wash it, not drink it. though drinking is nice and proved to relax the body and mind.

Pros:
Are there any?
Cons:
Not sure if it's working for me.
Taste is bitter.
I have been drinking Lipton Natural Decaf for about a week or two, nothing spectacular has happened. I am still breaking out. I drink it with honey and it still tastes nasty. I drink 2-4 cups of tea a day, it's not fun.

Pros:
Green tea is a great antioxidant as you all know. I drink Green tea once a day and it really helps. However in regards to acne in order to affect it I personally think that you have to drink a respectable amount (3-4 cups a day).
Cons:
Thank you for sharing your experiences, I believe it is really important to speak your truth to help people move forward. Thank you
By the way always buy the Decaff, a little pricy but better than worsing the situation with caffeine.
Pros:
Inexpensive. Good for your health.
