Green tea has long been known to be a powerful antioxidant that can fight free radicals and prevent or delay aging. Still, I was surprised to read in Wikipedia that green tea extract has twice more antioxidant properties than vitamin C!
This does not mean that you can quickly replace your vitamin serum with a green tea skincare product because the exact amount of green tea used in skincare products can hardly be traced, so we can´t know exactly each product’s potency when it comes to green tea.
The only thing you can do if you want a higher amount of green tea in your moisturizer is to check whether it appears on the top of the ingredients list or of course contact the manufacturer for more details.
Since green tea is well known due to its antioxidant and anti inflammatory properties, it is often used in skincare products as a fine ingredient.
So, in this review we have selected some of the best green tea moisturizers that contain not only green tea but other skin beneficial natural and organic components as well. After checking on their ingredients and choosing reputable companies´ products, I have come up with the following good quality products that gather great reviews

The OZ Naturals Facial Moisturizer contains Japanese Green Tea Leaf Extract as one of its first ingredients as well as wildcrafted green tea.
It also has a number of great ingredients such as organic sulfur, Vitamin C, Algae Keratin extract, vitamin E as well as rosehip seed oil, organic herbal infusion and others.
It comes in 4 ounces, it is 97.2% natural, 72% organic and free of fragrance. The company recommends it for all types of skin as a daily face moisturizer but also as an after sun restorative treatment.
Just remember that if you use it as a day moisturizer and although it contains vitamin C, you will also need a sunscreen for full protection. The product´s purchase is followed by a 30 day return and refund policy.
Reviews for this Green Tea Moisturizer are quite positive with most consumer finding that it offers them many skin healthy benefits.

Users with oily or combination skin say it is perfect for their type of skin but probably not similarly great for people who have combination skin with dry areas since these users claim that the product is not moisturizing enough if you are dealing with dry skin.
Some users have also mentioned that its consistency is runny rather than creamy as they would have preferred it to be.

This Alba Botanica Hawaiian oil free moisturizer comes in a 3 ounce container and contains Aloe and green tea.

Overall reviews are very positive. Users like the fact that it is oil free and absorbs well into their skin. It has a mild scent, doesn’t seem to irritate the skin and, according to the people, it is also good for acne prone skin. Finally, it hydrates their skin fine, leaving it looking fresh and dewy.
In conclusion, after reviewing some of the best green tea moisturizers, I can say that green tea is an antioxidant ingredient that is beneficial for the skin but obviously has to be combined with other effective ingredients to create a more powerful anti aging and skin improving formula.
