Seems like the amount of detox herbs in the teabags really were strong enough to trigger a detox! Sorry to hear of what may have been an unwelcome experience but this is why in my Detox book Detox Your Body in 3 Steps: How to Detox Your Body Using Detox Supplements Superfoods, And Simple Home Detox Techniques taking the Detox formulas was the last stage of Detox! And that was followed by weeks of prep!I hope you won't give up on Detox but maybe go at it step by step next time! However horrible it is to see what looks like acne on your face and elsewhere it is much better than having those toxins sitting inside you!Honest!:-) Seems like the amount of detox herbs in the teabags really were strong enough to trigger a detox!

It sounds awful, but it's your body purging. It's actually a really old thing because your body is finally pushing to the surface what has been trapped. If you continue to drink it and treat your skin/acne as you normally would you'll notice the acne will clear up and your skin will look renewed. Oh and don't pick at the acne!!! If you aren't used to breakouts, use a gentle cleanser and a salycilic acid based serum or cleanser to dry them up, other wise let them be!!Good luck :-)

Hi Jane,Thanks for your suggestions. Well, about detox with this tea, am not quite sure, may be everyone reacts differently to it. It din't work out for me either. My whole face was covered with acne it was just horrible, really horrible. Along with that I also got some itchy rashes over my arms and legs too. The acne and rashes both improved after I stopped the tea.No more detoxing stuff for me I guess, was quite an experiment. Take care.

I also took this tea and began experiencing a lot of cystic acne. I didn't know it was from the tea, I just thought it was from a lemon pie I ate a few weeks ago, but then once the first bout of cystic acne faded and another came, I knew it wasn't anything I ate... it is so annoying because my chin was EXTREMELY red and inflamed and this is major acne, not just little bumps. It's very embarrassing. I bought this because it would help me with the occasional acne I do get but god my skin hasn't been this bad in ages.

I just found your posts searching the internet because I too have an itchy rash and I drank the tea over the weekend. I have never had any allergic reactions to food before and from what I read it is possible to get a rash from detox;~/

Hard to say if you are eliminating but it would not be surprising! Has it cleared up now?

I discarded the original box but know it was a current date. This is my second order from them and have been pleased. Do you use Obaji? What has been your response to products? I am 3 months into full regimen of cleanser, day and nite and serum and think I can see a difference. Thanks

It really depends on your skin type. My results were instant... instantly worse. My skin is very sensitive and this gave my inflamed cystic acne.

I had break outs before. But like any cleanser it may take some time for it to clear your face. If your face feels too dry or you experience redness then this may not work for you. I use it every day..sometimes twice a day if I shower in the morning and night. I follow it with Noxema and leave it on for at least 30 seconds...That will help with dryness. I cannot do without either now....LOL

Oh no, I did not have this problem. I would like to say stick it out, but it is also important to listen to your body. Maybe it is causing your body to release toxins too fast for you, the more toxic you are, the worse your symptoms will be. Maybe try to drink a lot more water, you should try to drink half your body weight normally. I try to leave a glass of water with lemon or lime in it around to encourage drinking more. If adding more water doesn't help, try cutting down on the amount, maybe every other day until symptoms stop. If symptoms still continue, you may want to stop until you have done a cleanse. Usually trying to limit carbs and eat as much organic food as you can before fasting will help you not to have as many side effects. The toxins leaving your body and being dehydrated seem to be your problem. Good luck, lots of lemon water, raw honey and if you enjoy it onions and garlic will be a great benefit this time of the year to help your immune system, and if not getting enough sun, vid d3 and zinc :-) Hope you will feel better, this seems to be a great product once your symptoms subside.

I haven't used the treatment since the dinosaur age but continued using the lotion because it was fast acting, only a minimal amount was needed to "stop a zit in its tracks", and not super drying. I found that my acne cleared up when I started to add an additional amount of zinc to my diet in pill form and stopped drinking soda (this is a big one, no derm agrees with me except the one who told me that even though there is no proof that sodas cause acne, they do keep good minerals and trace elements from being used by the largest organ we have -- our skin) and sweets. I am 66 now so if you are considerably younger you may want to ignore everything I have just said. Good Luck!

Rub this in on dry skin after you wash it. Keep rubbing until you see the little balls. Those balls are your dead skin. I did use it daily when I was initially trying to clear up years of cystic acne but once my skin got under control and I notice less dead skin then I slowly cut my use back but it truly depends on whats going on with my skin and what Im doing as to how often I use it.

Sorry I am not a doctor so I do not have an answer. My wife took some anti-biotic and it gave her acne. She had to stop taking them because of the allergic reaction. She took a lot of PB8s & chlorella which helped her get rid of the acne in a couple of months. Hope this helps.

I have not a break out at all. My wife does for a week or so. We have tried Yogi and Triple leaf we like Triple leaf flavor better.

actually, i stopped using it. i realized it works at first but then some pimples would disappear and new ones would form. as for the dark spots, your best bet is to let time fade them away. using any acne supplement will only provoke ur acne even more.

It is light aqua blue and like Tea tree oil. Its nothing I noticed. Refreshing actually. I have sensitive and acne prone skin, and other than the exfoliating mild 'burn'it goes away instantly when washed off. Skin never looks red, thanks to tea tree and green tea Im assuming. Try it you won't regret it and it lasts a long time! Im on 2nd bottle since i discovered it 2-3yrs ago (I think, Amazon probably remembers :)

I honestly didn't breakout when I used this which is why I loved it. If you broke out from using it then perhaps this product isnt for you :[ or maybe your skin is just adjusting to the product. Give it a couple weeks and if it doesn't go away then it's time to try something new.

Yes, definitely (I just double-checked). Here's the thing though: You have to use it *Every Day*. If you do you will be Amazed at how AWESOME, how Smooth, how Clear Your Skin Looks! However, if you slack off (use less than 4 to 7 times a week) It'll flare up again. Guaranteed. [btw: you need only Cleanse once daily using a mild, o.t.c., good facial cleanser) (Slough skin once per week with a (gentje version) Buf-Puf and your o.t.c. cleanser) and apply a Thin Layer of Effaclar Duo all over your face. A little goes a long way and the price is absolutely worth it p.s. re: the "worth it" part --- this is coming from a single mom of teenage triplets so you know I'm careful w/ how I spend money!

I have very dry skin and this did not dry it more. I used it for eczema, so I can't answer about acne. Sorry.

Ugh, come on guys, she asked about hair and skin, not how great it tastes; I'm sure we all know that by now! Kate: I actually only use this for my face-it's not so sweet and I only use this in my tea if I run out of my trader joes raw organic honey. For my face it is fantastic! I'm allergic to everything so this has become my cleanser, face wash, and moisturizer all in one (though I do use various oils afterwards on my face) but its fantastic for whole body, softening, making less sensitive, calming, etc. I think you'll def enjoy it! I have not tried on my hair yet but others I know love it in washes! Hope it helps! V.

Hello. I have battled with acne my entire life and still do. My acne has been moderate but slightly more severe here recently, I'm 24. I would suggest this product but not for acne scars, the only thing I've found that works so far is bio oil. I used it every day sometimes twice a day just before bed and at the start of day. I'm not gunna lie it's greasy as hell use it fresh out of the shower and/or right after washing your face. I was impressed with the results, my skin had a slightly more youthful appearance and a significantly smoother look which u know makes a world of difference lol. Now for discoloration I use an all natural method a lil weird but a potato. Slice a thin layer off each day and rub the juice all over especially on the effected area. Google it! Potatoes have a chemical in them that stops hyper pigmentation that causes the dark marks but won't bleach your skin. Sorry this was so long but this is what works for me thanx.

Nope. The only issues that I had, is my face broke out a little.. My stomach and digestive system, functioned better during my detox. I did the 1 week detox again, finished yesterday. I hope this answers your question and helps you.
