Ive been using Dr Syed’s green tea cream for about 5 months now. I noticed a significant improvement within about 2 weeks, at first the skin got worse, but started improving alot after about a week. I was also prescribed antibiotics by my doctor but stopped taking them once I’d started the green tea cream. The cream has helped, but I dont seem to notice much improvement recently. He keeps telling me it will show up soon, as photos Ive sent him have shown him the collagen is stabilising under the top layer of the skin. Im getting abit impatient though, as initially he told me i would be cured within 3 weeks of using the cream. Still it is better than taking antibiotics, and Ive had compliments on my skin recently. but it still gets inflamed and itchy, so I know its not cured. And he says not to worry if it itches as that can be a sign it is healing up. he also sold me some green tea capsules which he said will help speed up the skin repair process. Im persevering with it because I dont really want to take antibiotics.

Hi Rhiannon, last year I purchased this cream
from Dr Syed. The cream did seem to show slight improvements in the control of my Rosacea at 30 days using twice daily however costing $180 to land here in Sydney I found the cost prohibitive to continue the trial. The sunscreen properties promoted on the website were false at I received sunburn multiple times during my trial.

Let us know of your results please?

Syeds green tea cream may or may not work but the customer testimonals on his website are clearly bogus. They all claim to be from customers in the US and yet they are all phrased in the odd english-as-a-second-language way that characterises the rest of his site. Read for yourself and you will pick it up immediately. This unfortunately seriously undermines his credibility.

However, like all rosaceans i’m desperate for a miracle cure and so have had a 10% green tea cream made up by a homoeopathic chemist in sydney. They made it within an hour and charged @$20. I’ll now use this twice a day for 6 weeks to mirror the so-called trials that Syed has done and see if i get results.
