Pros:

It works! Affordable, bottle last forever, natural ingredients, great customer service!

Cons:

None!

I am in my mid to late 30s with very sensitive acne prone skin. I started using Carley's about a year ago and although it did take a little over a month to work, it did work and is still working! My skin is smooth and clear! I even felt comfortable enough to use Carley's throughout my pregnancy because of all the natural ingredients. I also love the daytime and nighttime moisturizer for acne prone skin. Lastly, the customer service is excellent! They return emails promptly, are very accommodating and they really do guarantee everything.

Pros:

Only thing that ever worked besides Accutane, which I guess you can't get anymore. Feels good and smells really nice.

Cons:

None?

Worth every penny. The ONLY OTC product that works.

Pros:

Contains several natural ingredients and is a good exfoliant. I am delighted with the NATURAL SOAP that was included with purchase of the skin cleanser. The soap helps skin to retain moisture (so important to complement any acne cleanser) and has a pleasant scent to it.

Cons:

I mistakingly got a tiny amount of the product in my eye and it has been burning for a couple of days now. I have never experienced this strong of a reaction before to any cosmetic product. I believe my symptoms are due to an adverse reaction to the active ingredient in this, BENZOYL PEROXIDE.

I referred to the "Consumer's Dictionary of Cosmetic Ingredients" and learned a couple of things about the harmful chemical, benzoyl peroxide. BENZOYL PEROXIDE is a bleaching and drying agent used in cosmetics. It is toxic by inhalation. It is a skin allergen and irritant.... The EU and Canada use this ingredient in nail products, but recommend avoiding its usage in skin products. Because of my strong, adverse reaction to this products and the information I found (above) I will discontinue use of this product. I am concerned that it is advertised as a natural product, yet contains a harmful and toxic active ingredient. I urge anyone considering trying out this product to first research the active ingredient.

Pros:

SOFT , CLEAN , CLEAR SKIN. ALL YOU COULD ASK FOR AND NOT SPEND A FORTUNE DOING IT... AMAZING.. YOU WON'T REGRET YOUR RESULTS

Cons:

IF BY CHANCE YOU GET IT ON YOUR CLOTHES IT WILL DISCOLOR THE AREA , OTHER THAN THAT I FOUND NO CONS. ONLY EXCEPTIONAL RESULTS.

I WANTED TO TELL YOU THAT YOUR CARLEY'S PRODUCTS HAVE BEEN THE ANSWER TO MY SKIN PRAYERS.I AM SOOOOOO ALLERGIC TO WELL, YOU NAME IT. YOUR SOAP TELL ME, IT'S MADE BY ANGELS, RITE.LOL WE ARE FAR TOO OFTEN JUDGED BY OUTWARDLY APPEARANCES( NOT FAIR) I AM A COSMETOLOGIST, PART OF MY JOB IS TO LOOK GOOD, I FELT AS IF I WASN'T, DUE TO MY ACNE AND RASHES. SO MANY PEOPLE ASSOCIATE SKIN CONDITIONS WITH BEING DIRTY, I HEAR IT ALL THE TIME . ONLY THOSE WITH SKIN CONDITIONS KNOW THAT'S QUITE THE OPPOSITE. I WAS SO ASHAMED TO GO INTO PUBLIC WITH ALL THE SKIN CONDITIONS I HAD, AND I DID SAY HAD. THAT'S GONE PECAN. EVERY SO OFTEN I GET A ZIT OR TWO, BUT NOTHING COMPARED TO WHAT LOOKED LIKE I HAD A HORRIBLE DISEASE. THANK YOU EVER SO MUCH. THANK YOU, YOUR PRODUCTS SAVED ME IN SO MANY WAYS. I CAN ATTEST ALL THE CARLEY'S PRODUCTS I HAVE USED ARE A MIRACLE. I WILL CONTINUE PRAISING YOUR PRODUCTS THANK YOU K.C

Pros:

I've used the Kick *ss Treatment System for about a month. It's easy to use: in the shower was face (or chest, back, etc.) first with the provided soap then massage the treatment in for about 30 seconds, rinse and do a quick wash with the soap again. When you first start it seems like a lot of steps, but in about a week you don't even notice. AND it works! After not knowing what my face would look like in the morning, now it is always clear. No worries. I love this stuff :-)

Cons:

None

There is not one product that works for everyone, but if you are experiencing breakouts daily you owe it to yourself to try Clear and Smooth treatments: either the regular or extra strength. Be sure to follow the instructions. You will most likely get a smooth complexion as a reward. If it doesn't work for you there is not big financial investment and you can go on to try something else.

Pros:

This is an excellent product. It healed my lifelong acne and I no longer need to use the skin treatment. I now use Carley's moisturizing line and soaps. My teenage sons are using the acne treatment now. No animal products - very nice plus!

Cons:

The packaging is not fancy.

This is a rare product that actually works exactly the way it is advertised.

Pros:

Great Product, Really Works, Natural, Great Customer Service, Samples

Cons:

Have to Buy Online, Takes a While to Work

Carly's is a great product. Very effective, though it takes a while to work. I have used it for several years, and have gone from having moderate acne to having clear, beautiful skin. I have read a bunch of negative reviews accusing anyone that says they have had good results of faking the review. It's really insulting to be accused of lying cause you have good results. Well, this is a real review and Clear & Smooth works. Maybe some of the people having poor results should look at their diets, cleaning products, makeup, etc for possible allergens. It there mold in your house? Could make you break out. I use only natural makeups with no talc, preservatives, chemicals, etc. If you use makeup brushes or sponges make sure you clean them regularly or they will make you break out. I use natural cleaning products, detergents, softeners, etc. I try to have a 'clean' diet (almost no packaged food, lots of fresh) and drink lots of water. Makes a world of difference. Good skin is a combo of what you put in, and what you put on, your body.

Pros:

This has been the only skin care line that I have continued to use on a regular basis, it works if you follow the instructions! Also remember there are several factors to help improve acne, diet, exercise, drinking water make a big difference for me. Make sure when you use the product to use a clean cloth (super important)!

Cons:

Needs to be used on a regular basis, has improved my acne wonderfully when I use it as directed on a regular basis! May take some weeks to improve your skin, and this may not work for every single person, but find me a product that does because it doesn't exist!!! Give it a try you won't regret it!

This is the best skincare product I have ever tried for my sensitive skin, it worked ten times better for me, then the other skincare line on tv with famous actresses and actors promoting it! Also, there are two girls that I work with that I recommended it to, and it has worked on them as well!

Pros:

Natural

Cons:

Gritty, irritates skin, weird smell, oily

I would not recommend Carly's to anyone with more than mild acne. I have moderately severe acne and it did absolutely nothing to help.. In fact, the face wash was super gritty and it made my face red and irritated. The soap is oily and makes my face feel awful, also. I won't say that this product is a "scam" like others have said.. I think it probably works for those who have mild cosmetic acne. For people with more severe/hormonal acne, this will do nothing, just as most topical regimines do nothing. More severe acne must be treated internally.I am going back on birth control pills.. those are the only thing that work for me.

Pros:

the ONLY product that's ever worked consistantly for me, and I've tried every otc(over the counter) and prescription out there with the exeption of accutane. and I strongly advise that nobody use acutane because of the risk of side effects such as crones dissease.

Cons:

I don't know if this qualifies as a con, but nothing actually cures acne. you will have to use this product regularly in order to keep your acne from coming back, but after using the "jump start method" it dosen't take as much of this product to get the same results. so I guess this is actually a pro!

THIS IS AWESOME STUFF! after 30+ years of suffering the humilliation of looking like the goalie for the dart team, I can proudly show my face in public. people without acne just don't know how awful it feels to look in the mirror and see your face full of huge painfull red boils. society treats people with acne like we're dirty, like we live on french fries and chocolate bars. I started getting acne from wrestling in school. acne is caused by staff bacteria, as I understand. that's why antbiotics help clear it up, but for some people it just keeps coming back. Well.... this is the answer to my prayers. This product literaly gave me my life back! I'm in sales now, 'cause I'm not embarassed of my skin. I have no problem getting a date, I don't hide when people get their camera out, I have a new level of confidence like I've never had when I had a face full of huge welts. forget clearacil, forget proactive, forget all otc products , this is it! the only product you'll ever need to control your acne. I've never endorsed another acne product in my lfe, because this is the only one that has really done what they say it will do. just follow the directions on the web site, and you'll see for yourself. They didn't pay me to write this, like they pay people to do T.V. comercials. They're fake! They put fake zits on with makeup for the "before" photos and wash the makeup off for the "after" ones.This is the real deal, I tried this stuff figuring I had nothing to lose. I am so happy that I did, and if you try this stuff, you'll be the next person writing a revew like this one. the first bottle of kick *ss treatment lasted a month, but after that it now lasts twice as long 'cause I only need to use half as much to get the same results. THANK YOU STEVE!
