Cons:
Dries skin out but a risk I am willing to take!
I have suffered from acne for about 10 years. I literally tried everything there was from clean and clear to proactive. Nothing really helped. I have been drinking green tea for a week straight now 3-4 cups a day. At first it cleared up all the big pimples and reduced the redness in just two-three days and I was really excited about it. Now, I can't be too sure. I keep having new pimples every morning. Granted they aren't as big or red but it hasn't cleared it completely or anything. It has only been a week so I won't give up hope. I guess I shouldn't have assumed it was going to make it 100% better. Even if it doesn't help more than it is right now, I will keep drinking it and using the actually bag on my skin after it cools because it is definitely somewhat better than before. Hopefully my skin is just detoxing since I have gotten new pimples and it will become clearer as the days go on

Pros:
it cleanse your system. Gives you energy.
Cons:
taste bitter, has not helped with my acne
i have been drinking the korean brand green tea religiously for more than a month now hoping it will help to clear my skin. I even tried using it as a toner for a while (green tea bag + water) and even bought the new St. Ives face wash with green tea since i have read so many articles on how green tea helps with acne and so far, i have NOT seen any results. My face has worsen and has not cleared (yet). I have not stopped drinking it tho since i know it makes me feel good and sometime soon i will see its result!

Pros:
Skin glowed
Reduced redness
Cons:
Blackheads
Kind of a hassle
Didn't prevent acne
I used this for several months to help my acne. It hasn't done much to prevent new pimples. I got tired of all the blackheads that would appear randomly in different areas of my face, and after stopping green tea, they went away and haven't had any new ones- so I attribute it to the green tea. Never had blackheads before, except on the nose. I brewed some green tea and kept it in a bottle in the fridge, and would apply it cold morning and night with a cotton ball. If I wanted to reduce pimple redness, I would apply green tea to a cotton ball, leave over the pimple until it dried, and then wet it again and reapply. It reduced redness a lot! So it's good for that. I left it on my skin overnight a lot too. I was reading about folliculitis and I think I have that in my temple area and side of face, noticed it last fall, about same time I started using this. Perhaps the antibacterial effect of green tea upset the balance of my skin and caused it to worsen. Anyway, bottom line is, it makes your skin look nice (if it doesn't cause blackheads), can be used as a spot treatment for redness, but didn't do much to prevent acne. I'm continuing my search for natural acne reatments.

Pros:
it really does help get rid of acne from the inside out. it also works ok topically, like rubbing the tea bag on your face. doing that dried out my face a little bit though
Cons:
taste nasty!!!!! the taste makes me want to puke! but adding lemon juice or honey helps it not taste so bad. and you have to drink like 4 or 5 cups a day for it to work so you people who are drinking like one cup a week shouldnt even be writing reviews cause your making green tea look like it doesnt work just cause your using it wrong!
its not a cure unless you have mind acne but drinking 4 for 5 cups a day along with a topical regimine will probably help clear you up.
but the reason i stoped drinking it is cause it just taste so nasty to me and it started staining my teeth

Good For Redness, Bad For Pimples
Green tea did help calm the redness of my skin, but it didn't work for my pimples.

Hey, at least it's healthy..
When my acne started to accumulate, I read online that several cups of green tea per day could really clear your skin...Since there are boxes and boxes of green tea in my cabinet, I said ,'hey, why not!'.. So from then on, I drank about 2-3 cups of tea per day.. Sadly, I experienced a very little difference in my skin..My acne simply became less inflamed. Certain factors could have caused this such as only drinking about two cups per day but, you can decide if this method can help you..Either way, green tea still has amazing health benefits that you can benefit from if it does not help your acne

What kind of green tea were you drinking? The one from typical grocery stores that comes in a box full of tea bags won't do much to help with acne, if that's what you had. You need high quality green tea. For example, where I live there are some Asian markets in downtown where I bought a container of loose-leaf green tea sealed in a foil-lined bag. That's the good stuff, versus buying a box of, say, Lipton tea bags. Of course, the health benefits are there regardless, but I'd say give the high quality stuff a try for skin improvement.

Pros:
- Tastes great (I use vanilla flavour)
- Cheap
- Healthy
- Calming
Cons:
- Doesn't really do much for my acne
I drink 1 cup a day before bed. It's calming and tastes great. I feel if I was to drink about 3 - 4 cups a day I might see a bigger difference.. but I am not a big tea drinker.
Pros:
Seems to help at least somewhat
