Pros:

I've had moderate acne, with painful cysts. The red marks were the worst. I live a healthy lifestyle, eat a healthy diet, exercise, etc. I tried everything from proactive, diet changes, using ocean water, oxy bars, and so on. Nothing worked, and any medications like bp and s. acid just irritated my face and made the red marks worse. I have been drinking green tea (roughly 4 cups a day) for about 2-3 weeks and using it as a topical treatment. Im now 70% clear and only get small pimples.

Cons:

none

USE IT! nothing else worked for me. I tried everything. Im getting clearer everyday, and my scars are slowly disappearing. TRY IT OUT!

Pros:

soothes skin, provides a healthy glow, makes my blackheads surface

Cons:

I don't really like the taste of green tea; for me it is more of an acquired taste.

I really like what green tea is doing for my skin. I usually drink 4 cups of green tea in every evening. I also apply the tea (at room temperature) to my face with a flat cotton pad. Drinking it and applying it directly has helped me so much with my acne prone skin. I notice less acne, inflammation, and redness. After I rub the green tea with a flat cotton pad on my face my skin gets a nice healthy glow; it really soothes my skin. I like the effects of green tea on my skin so far and I hope it can continue to help me with this acne battle and help me restore my skin.

Pros:

Acne gone...Face is smooth and glowing.

Cons:

None at all

I started rubbing tea bags on my face when I heard it works as a self tanner because I am really pale. I repeated this three times before I went to bed and my face and my face ad the most amazing glow ever!! (Tea actually stains your skin!!) I used it with a lotion to let it go deep into my skin. The next morning my skin was incredibly soft and my acne had cleared away! I couldnt believe my eyes!! I am in love!!! I am going to start drinking it for further benefits!

Green tea is great ive been drinking it for about 2 years and i usually drink i cup a day sometimes 2 and after about a month my acne slowly started to dissapear..and not only is it good for skin its great for the body it has antioxidants keeps your body clean and healthy plus its super cheap so almost everyone can afford it..i never thought of rubbing the leftover teabag on your face though..its interesting..do u rub it on after washing your face or is it fine even when things are already applied..Bottom line its good for you there are no cons just be patient with it..think thats the hardest part.

Pros:

Even complextion, reduced swelling, even glow, cleaner pores, elminates black heads.

Cons:

none so far.

I've dealt with a serious blackhead situation for most of my life. Lately, in my late 20s it grown worse and spread to areas on my face that never were infected. Some take weeks to surface and when they do finally emerge I'm left with scars. I've been less then satisfied with many past regimans...I've learned simplicity is key. I've heard about green tea as a solution. I've been drinking it for years. I can't say if the drink helps, I do have to say rubbing the tea bag on my skin has! I was skeptical at first, it felt silly but I was impressed the following morning. I also kept the tea bag from the previous evening, and the following morning I used the tea leaves as an exfoliant and left it on my face for 15 minutes. It's speeding up the surfacing of some of the stubborn pimples and healing my skin faster. I hope that in a week or so, I'm clearer! My complextion is even and my skin has a natural glow.

Pros:

-Really stopped my skin from getting too oilly.

-Made my skin feel smoother after about a week.

Cons:

You have to drink about 3 cups a day for about 1-3 weeks to see any effect.

The taste isn't enjoyable.

My Suggestions: A lot of the time I'd either be rushing and not have time for a cup, or else just forget. I really recommend giving yourself a certain time for each cup. (I take mine a few minutes after breakfast, lunch and dinner). Bottom line, it reduces redness on your face and stops skin from getting very oilly.

Pros:

it really does get rid of pimples

Cons:

you go to the bathroom a lot ( although thats not really too bad)

its affordable and it is definately worth it. i started drinking green tea becuase i needed the natural caffien, as i was up all night revising fo exams. within the first few days i noticed that my skin was looking more clear and the redness was reduced. I was drinking about 3 pots of tea a day ( a bit exessive, i know) i recently stopped drinking it and have noticed that my pimples have come back. so once you start you really have to stick to it.

Pros:

Works great as a topical treatment. Easy to make and can be very cheap. Healthy to drink too. Doesn't dry out your skin like Benzoyl Peroxide.

Cons:

Be aware that drinking too much caffeine can increase oil production in the skin. A few cups a day shouldn't have any effect though. Green tea has around 1/3rd the amount of caffeine that coffee does.

Use it. The pros obviously out-weigh the cons.

Pros:

Works Amazingly!

Cons:

NONE!

I had SEVERE acne. When I say severe..I MEAN SEVERE. In one day, the redness, bumpiness of my acne was completely gone. This is what I did. First, I drank 3 cups of unsweetened and uncaffeinated green tea throughout the day. At night time, I made a small paste using turmeric powder, skim milk, and the main ingredient was green tea. What I did was rip open the last teabag I used for the day and I poured half of it into the paste and mixed it. Then I applied the paste and let it dry for 30 mins. I washed it off and I saw the results immediately. I hope this is a long-term remedy because I am doing this EVERY night! No new breakouts for the past 2 weeks and my skin looks better than ever.

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.
