Pros:I have used this product for over four years, and it is an absolute lifesaver. My sister also uses it, and every one of my friends who I recommended it to also was surprised how well it worked. Best of all, this is a cruelty-free product.
Cons:Some people have reported that for first time users, the formula is extremely potent; therefore, causing your skin to get worse initially. But after the first week or so, it starts working indefinitely. For me, it started working in the first 2 days.
Bottom Line:Just buy it. It's definitely worth a try. If you don't like it (which I doubt), just stop using it.

Cons:Lot of cons about the soap smell, not an unpleasant smell just different
Bottom Line:I have recommended this product to several friends who have commented about my complexion being clearer and smoother. I have been using this product for over 3 years now and and would be lost without it

Pros:Makes my face feel really clean. I like to use it on my shoulders as well. I have been using it for 8 years and I can't live without it. I order a new bottle as soon as mine starts getting low.
Cons:Bleaches towels, but is totally worth it :)
Bottom Line:I found out about the wash 8 years ago on a message board when I was taking Accutane. In 8 years, I haven't been able to find anything that works as well for me. It keeps my face clear!!

Pros:It works! It's inexpensive, fast ship, prompt replies.
Cons:Some might not like the smell. The bottle cap will get clogged after a while, but running with hot water and using paper clip clears it.
Bottom Line:This is by far the best facial cleaner anti acne product!

I've tried proactive, neutrogena stuff, clinique soaps, other anti bacterial soap, and not one of them worked! After years of searching effective product and fed up with paying premium, I searched ebay for an inexpensive alternative.

It may take a month for me to see results, but it's a small time for long term great results.

I'm so glad that I found this, I've been using it for 4 years, and it gives great results everytime.

I don't know what you put in this magic lotion, it just works.

Pros:This really does work. I only get the very odd breakout now if I am hormonal or ill with a virus or something. No longer have to pump myself full of antibiotics that don't really work. No need for any other topical applications.
Cons:Can't buy in in England and therefore have to ship from the states.
Will stain dark coloured wash clothes and towels. Who cares, use white ones for your face.
Bottom Line:I am about to place my third order for this. They send free soap with it which is brilliant in itself. I use this twice a day to wash my face - I do a double wash at night to really clean - then use the treatment scrub every morning in the shower. The one bar of soap lasts as long as the bottle of scrub which is about 4 or 5 months - bargain. They give a lifetime guarantee so even if you use the whole bottle, if it doesn't work return it for a full refund. You really have nothing to lose, because if you are like me you have tried everything out there including stuff that costs an absolute fortune.

Please note that my costs include shipping to the UK.

Their service is also excellent, they reply to all questions personally and give dedicated advice when needed. Really nice people.

Pros:Bought it from eBay the scrub,the soap and the lotion. Great price and fast shipping. Less acne than before worth a try when it's all natural.
Cons:Don't help with the hormone acne, cos I'm a girl and every month of that periode it would not help at all.
Bottom Line:I never heard of this "brand" before i checked eBay out for some months ago. And I thought it's all natural+super great feedback, then i gave it a try.

The package came really fast to Norway. Great package and soooo many free items, like samples. They really cared about the pakaged, packed really good and carefully. I'm impressed with that.

I started to use it right away, throwed everything else in to a garbage. After 2 weeks, i noticed it. My acne on the cheeks were gone (and still don't have it now either :D) But I have some diffeculty with acne around my mouth area, and I'm aware that it's because of my hormones. So I guess this is NOT THE ONLY SOLUTION TO A BETTER SKIN! So i think i have to try out supplyment (naturally ofcourse), because it's the only way, or zinc. somthing like that, but anyway this is impress. The soap and dryed my skin a little, but the scrub and lotion was so moizturied. Hightly recommended!

PS: i have sensitive skin and mostly dry.

Pros:cheap, all natural, leaves skins feeling so smooth, great customer service
Cons:website has issues sometimes
Bottom Line:It's not a miracle product but it will help keep your skin healthy. I found I have to use the scrub more than the bottle directed me to so be sure you do whatever suits you best.

Pros:All natural. Only once a day. Economical. Vegan. Smells good. Feels good. No icky side effects like redness, peeling, skin dandruff. Works!
Cons:Bleaches stuff. My blue wash cloths turned pink. Not a big deal to me, but if you care, get white towels. Need to invest in lots of wash cloths and do laundry to follow protocol.
Bottom Line:This stuff works. The lotions sold by the same company are also divine. I tell everyone about the stuff. I would love to get totally clear to really 'sell' it. had horrible red bumps that stayed for 6,9,12 months with no change all along my jaw and upper neck and they are almost totally gone. Just a few dark spots. still break out around my mouth and chin (especially before my period) but they clear up pretty fast (like days!)

I am going to try to 5% 'extra strength' and see if I can get completely clear.

Pros:Affordable, not tested on animals, effective, great customer service. I love that everything is done in the shower so once you are finished, there is nothing else to apply or anything. I've had no problems with bleaching, which I did with Proactiv.
Cons:For me, because I use it on my face, chest AND back, it obviously doesn't last as long. A bottle lasts me about a month so it costs the same as Proactiv did but it's still well worth it. Also, it took long to work for me (3 months) but it worked!
Bottom Line:Let me start off by saying that this product definitely works BUT it is not a "quick fix". It took 3 months for the mild-moderate acne on my chest and back to clear up. I had been using Proactiv to treat it but it didn't seem to work so I switched to Carley's but I really had to be patient. I was still using Proactiv on my face (I had clear skin) but wanted to just use one product so I switched to Carley's for my face, too. As expected, I had an outbreak that lasted about 5-6 weeks, where I developed tons of tiny little pimples all over my forehead, my jawline, chin and nose. It was EXTREMELY frustrating but Steve explained to me why this happened and just asked that I be patient. I hung in there and it has now been about 3 months since I started it for my face and I am about 95% clear. It was really hard to stick with it but it was so worth it. Just remember to follow the directions EXACTLY or else it can delay the effectivenes. Don't give up if it takes long, IT WILL WORK!!!

Pros:a great product, a great regime, not too dis-similar from Dan's on here! its all in the regime. the product itself is wonderful. spreads well and won't dry out skin thanks to the complimentary soap you get and use as part of it. Also wonderful people
Cons:none
Bottom Line:i've tried everything and most have been too harsh and only made things worse. pills the doctor prescribed had side affects too!! i'd just about gave up!
this is by far the best skincare product i have ever used..not just for acne..and i discovered it on ebay. i was originally researching proactive and stumbled across it.
i read all the comments people had left and decided to give it a try
it took time and persistence for me but only because i'd used that much junk on my skin, i'd literally "harden" it up! but from the first use i was amazed. it felt so clean but with out that "stripped" and tight feeling. i saw improvements everyday. not only that, i used the soap that came with it as bodywash and a small patch of ezcema i had behind my knee and on my hands cleared right up too!!!!
i've been using it a good few months now but still have a few that return,so now my 1st bottle is running low (thats how long it lasts-bargain) i'm going to try the stronger one..ALL NATURAL ING
