Pros None whatsoever... I guess perhaps that they have good customer service and a money back guarantee but seeing as what this did to my face I don't think that counts for much
Cons Broke me out HORRIFICALLY, can't stress how bad it has made my skin. Anyone thinking of ordering this, think again. Please don't risk your skin with this, it is incredibly pore clogging and caused cystic acne all over my chin and lower face.
Bottom line I used this product for about 2 months because I bought into all of the hype and reviews. I can now honestly say that this has been one of the biggest mistakes of my life. Not only did it give me the worst break out of my entire life, even now that I have stopped using this product, my skin is still breaking out terribly. In retrospect I know I should have stopped using this as soon as it started breaking me out but I was hoping it was just my skin purging. I finally came to my senses and quit using this, but by then the damage was done. I will have scars from using this product for a long time.

Pros I love this product. It is working great for me (42) my son (21) and my daughter (11). I have had acne all my life and this is the ONLY product that works for me. I have tried everything except Accutane (which i refuse to use due to the side effects) and Carly's Clean and Clear works. I wish I had this product 20 years ago. Works on bad acne and mild acne and also washes aways acne scars and minizes pours
Cons At first my skin was irritated when i used the wash rag to wipe off the product. After a couple weeks, it was no longer an issue
Bottom line USE THIS PRODUCT!!!! you will not be disappointed. It is worth every penny. The customer service is awesome, they send you extra products to try out at no cost.

Pros skin feels smooth & soft after using (but something is wrong because it is sore and hot!)

fast customer service

genuine money-back guarantee (which is good because YOU WILL WANT YOUR $ BACK.)
Cons VERY DRYING AND IRRITATING, even after one use.

I used one of their scrubs that has walnut shells but no BP. I only used it twice - not even in a row - and both times my skin came out red and hot within minutes of getting out of the shower.

Something is definitely wrong with this product; I have used other "gritty" scrubs many days in a row, many times (mostly the proactive cleanser) without irritation. This made my skin tight and with a sunburn feel after ONE use.
Bottom line Something is fishy here.

I think that the negative reviews are real and the positive ones are fake. :(

I am saddened that so many people kept using it even though their skin was getting worse. If you try it, TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS. If your skin feels unhappy, STOP USING IT RIGHT AWAY and send it back.

Like I said, I used their scrub twice, I was gentle with it and it one that had no BP, but within minutes of patting my face dry my skin was sore.

My face has never reacted this badly to any product I have tried in the past, and SO SORE SO FAST. Perhaps walnut shells smooth/soften the skin VERY ABRASIVELY such that the damage is much worse than the benefit, like using sand paper. Smooth but raw.

I think this business is preying on those of us who are looking for a cure and are willing to try this.

Betcha they make their money because a lot of people don't get around to returning the product, even if they don't like it.

Pros Company was easy to work with and gave a no-hassle return.
Cons In our case, the products totally worsened my poor 12 year old's mild-moderate facial acne, to the point that it's now 6 months later and although we have finally cleared up her face using antibiotics and paraben-free cleansers, she still has scars. I feel horrible for having had her try Carley's.
Bottom line Be careful. If this product worsens your skin, STOP IMMEDIATELY. Don't wait until you are scarred.

Pros I absolutely hated the stuff, it seemed to make my skin softer at first though.
Cons It seemed like it was working for a few days then out of the blue I started breaking out, little bumps all over my chin and T-Zone and huge cystic zits under the skin.

I didn't really have cysts before so this really bothered me, but I kept trying it and following directions in hope of a purge or something. It had so many great reviews that I thought it maybe just took a little time. Nope, broke me out everywhere I used it, even my upper shoulders got worse where I just had a few zits.
Bottom line Don't use it unless you want to take a big risk, it really did a number on my face and I'm feeling even more depressed now with this horrible cystic acne and I pick at my face too so this was just awful for me. I'm really really sad. Use at your own risk.

Pros i love this product! I am a 54 year old woman who has had problems with bumps and breakouts my whole life, and I discovered this product about 10 years ago, and i now have skin worthy of an ivory soap girl! An old girl, yeah, but clear and healthy. i think i've finally gotten my daughters to give up all the packaged chemically infused products and switch...a VERY smart move!
Cons None...although I didn't care for the shampoo.
Bottom line A simple, healthy alternative to the heavily marketed "cures" out there...and this one works! And besides, it feels good to support a truly "home grown" business!

Pros There are a lot of products out there of which my daughter has tried many but for the money this works the best long term. I don't think anything out there is a cure for acne but this at least controls it. We have been using this for approximately 4 years and wouldn't be without it! Thank you Carley's!!
Cons None
Bottom line Try it!!

Pros It works!!! And it works fast! I've had clear skin for years now!
Cons I don't have any cons with these products. They ship really fast!
Bottom line These products have kept my skin clear for about 6 years now. I even sleep with my makeup on most nights. I don't even use the product according to the instructions (twice a day) and it still keeps my skin blemish free! I've tried it all, from cheap to expensive. The only other thing that worked to keep my skin clear were pills from my dermatologist. Haven't needed those in a long time thanks to these products! I'll always buy this, I hope it never discontinues!

Pros Huge amount of product for the price, shipping is fast, free bar of soap, it WORKS!! Free samples usually included too, that's a plus.
Cons Can't really think of a con
Bottom line For me, the Kick Ass cleanser works. I thought I no longer needed it and quit using it after using it consistently for over a year. Slowly but surely I started getting a breakout here and there. I pulled my Carley's back out and started using it again. My skin has already started clearing up again. This product will always be a staple for me. I learned my lesson.

Pros All natural, exfoliant, good value
Cons None
Bottom line I don't have awful acne, but I would get occasional breakouts due to stress or hormones. I was using Proactiv, which I liked, but I hated the price and how they automatically deduct payments from your bank account and ship more to you (even if you don't want or need it).

I started researching other products that have benzoyl peroxide as the active ingredient, and discovered Carley's. I also like how they send you a bar of natural soap for your face.

I've really enjoyed the product, although I still get the occasional blemish due to hormones or stress (same thing happened with Proactiv). You use the soap to wash dirt and grime off your face, then use the scrub to exfoliate and treat the acne, then do another quick wash with the soap to remove any remaining benzoyl peroxide.

My skin is smooth and soft and clear, and the price is really affordable. One bottle lasts both my boyfriend and I about three months!

My one complaint is I wish the company offered some kind of toner. I have looked but could not find a toner among their products.
