Pros:

fast shipping, really works, makes skin clear and lightens the spots, not expensive, i really like the teen kicka** one it has a higher amount of benzoyl peroxide in it the soap they sell is absolutely amazing it in combination with the scrub is what makes the skin so soft and clear.

Cons:

none

this is a absolutely effective product its up to you to apply it and follow the indications and also keep in mind that when you start using it your skin will get worse then better. This brings out and removes all the build-up. When you continus to use it you will see your skin get better and improve that is with any product. I did get some cystic acne on my chin when i first used it but shortly after it cleared up and has never done that again. This product has given me flawless skin and raely get pimples and when i do they clear up quickly and are only 1-2 on my cheeks. I also struggled with back acne since i was in middle school this was the only product that cleared my back up. I have had a few pimplesonce in awhile but nothing like before. I can now wear tank tops and not feel complexed about my skin showing. wearing tank tops was never an option until i used this line of products. I use only the soap they sell and the teen kick@$$ I also use the foot balm and lotions its my skin saver!

not for me
don't like scrubs, and the BP irritated my face and I couldn't use it as a scrub, just sort of patted it on. Might be good for body acne, but that's it.

Pros:

It controls acne better then anything I have tried before....Pro active, Nutregena, Obagi & other stuff. Once in a blue moon I do breakout but it's mostly under control. 2nd time going around first bottle lasted little over 4 months.

Cons:

-Price (it does last a long time but if you add in the moisturizer or get the package deal + $8) it can get expensive. But it feels so natural and chemical free it's great.

-Customer Service: I did not have to return any product yet so I don't know about that. But Steve is really rude if you write them a question or have any concerns he tries to laugh it off & writes very rude emails back. But if you can get past that & just focus on product it's great.

Get this if you have acne. Try it atleast once it worked out really good for me better then the acne.org stuff ...this has wayyyy less chemical crap & quality stuff. I have cystic acne and this really controls it well.

While reading some of these reviews, I just had to put my 2 cents in. This product is wonderful. Someone had mentioned having to use to many washclothes or something. I NEVER use washclothes. I use it in the shower and then rinse and then use the soap and rinse. That works great for me. As far as the scrub maybe being to harsh, you can always use the scrub lightly with your fingers. You have control over how hard or light you scrub or try using every other day. I highly recommend there products!!! I use several of their products and have for a while now. Love them!

Pros:

Took and keeps away acne; love the smoothness I have using this daily in the shower; cost is excellent; ingredients are superb

Cons:

nothing in my opinion; I do run out when my budget gets tight - that's the only con I have

If you haven't tried this - do try it; if it doesn't work for you, pass it to someone else - you might make their life so much better if their acne clears up :o);; I read the reviews and thought "too good to be true"; this is not the case for their products - they work for me, they work for thousands and if it works for you, you will love these products and become a lifelong user of them like me ... I buy sunscreen and this stuff - that's all and it has made my "moisturizing life" so much easier and My Skin Loves It. Please don't go anywhere Carley's <3. My search will have to start all over if you do. Thanks so much - I cannot, truly cannot, say enough about the way these work on my face and body - Just Thank You Very Very Much !

Pros:

Makes skin smooth and clear. Easy to use. Is great to shave with also! Mild scent. All natural & no animal testing.

I used to have regular and cystic acne. As an adult, I have tried everything through the years. Nothing worked for any length of time. Then, I happened upon Carley's while shopping on ebay. Figured it couldn't hurt. Within days, my skin was showing a difference! I have found that what works best for me is not to use a wash cloth, but to use my hands. Wash my hands and rinse, then lather up with Carley's soap, wash face and rinse, use scrub and rinse, then lather up, wash and rinse soap again. No worries over bleaching wash cloths, or having a clean one each time. And it still works great! Had a little trouble with the cystic acne at first, but found that cutting caffeine from my diet did the trick! Now, between no caffeine and Carley's, I am blemish free!! Yeah! Have also found that if I use the soap to shave my legs with, I don't get those little irritated red bumps on my thighs that I used to get. I have discussed these products with many people, and have even given slices off of new bars of soap to folks for them to try. I can't say enough!! I am sold!

Pros:

Animal Free
Lasts a long time
Good price

Cons:

For some people it might take longer to work

I have been ordering the the Industrial Strength formula from you for almost a year now.. and i must say that it has been the only thing that has controlled my hormonal acne that I have tried. When people say that they have spent thousands on skin and face products they are usually being sarcastic, but I actually mean it when I say I HAVE spent thousands on products... you can check my bank statements for proof. I have tried cheap products from the drugstore, I have tried expensive ones from Nordstroms, and Sephora, and [link removed].... but NOTHING has delivered quite like your products have. I will admit it was hard in the beginning, since my face needed time to adjust, but I stuck with it because even though it was still breaking out, it was less than before. Now almost a year later, I rarely if ever get bad breakouts, and usually the blemishes that do pop up, are smaller and not soo red. I have never really received comments on how good my skin looks before, and now that my skin has adjusted to the system, i get a lot of them and mostly from people that are also having acne problems, or even employees at Nordstroms or Sephora as well as my co-workers. I have recommended this product to many people and a few have actually took the leap and tried it and are very happy with it. The only thing I wish was a little different is that I wish I could use the anti-age products. For some reason my face just wants nothing to do with them. I would also like to use the overnight cream for acne prone skin... it too makes my face breakout a bit. But that does not deter my liking this product. I just have to accept that all products are not made for my picky, and insanely sensitive skin. So if you have tried everything and anything that exists for acne problems and or dryness or all around unappealing skin... then try this. You wont regret it. : )

Pros:

Very inexpensive, lasts a long time, simple to use. For every bottle of product you buy you get one free bar of natural soap and if you buy three products at one time you will get a fourth free.

Cons:

Nothing really but if I have to point out anything it would be that the cleansing is a two step process.

At first I wasnt sure if the product worked or if I liked it. I am 42 years old and have very sensitive skin and most products make me break out more or only work for a little while and then stop working. I usually get the small little pimples on my forehead as my face is very oily and I tend to also get little pimples on my chest and shoulders when I work out. I came across this product on the internet and decided to try it out as I have tried everything else including prescription medication and it was really quite cheap so I figured i couldnt go wrong. When i first used the product it made my skin SUPER oily and I almost stopped using it. I thought it was the matural bar of soap as I read the ingredients i thought for sure it was the source of all the oil on my face but i decided to keep using it and hoped that my face would balance itself out. i am glad i did because I would never ever use anything else on my face again. Sure my face is still oily but not nearly as bad as before using this product. It worked so good that I told my 18 yr old son who broke out in huge cystic type to give it a try and it worked just as good for him. Now if have another son who is starting to get acne at the age of 13 so I started him on the product as well. This is the only product that I will ever use again, it simple works that well. So stop wasting your money on all the other acne stuff and give this a try. You wont be disappointed!!!!

Pros:

Just a scrub, use it once a day and you're done! no sleeping with icky stuff on your face anymore.

Cons:

The teenageformula is very drying, the it takes a looong time to work, it gets worse before it gets better and it didn't clear me

This company is one of the friendliest you can find! And I do love love their other products, especially the soap and the daytime moisturizer. But the scrubs did not help me much. I tried both the original formula and the kickassformula. Yes they made my skin very smooth and did reduce blackheads, redness and minor pimples but did nothing for the cysts.

Pros:

none

Cons:

made my skin very dry, and flaky. also makes my face feel really hot.

I've been using this product for two-months now hoping it would be the miracle cure that i was looking for. after all the positive reviews i decided to give it a try but it let me down. i followed the instructions step by step but my acne remained the same. very disappointing, waste of money.
