Pros:

Eliminates acne
Keeps skin looking young
Mostly natural
You wash off the BP, so it probably won't bleach your clothes or blankets or make you more sensitive to sunlight
Great customer service
Really inexpensive

Cons:

You have to buy a bunch of white washcloths and use a fresh one every time
You can't buy it in stores

Here's the deal. I've been on ProActiv, Tazorac, high doses of benzoyl peroxide, and oral antibiotics before. I'm a female in my early twenties, and I've had adult acne for the past five years. I never had horrible cystic acne, but I had a severe amount of papules and pustules all over my face, plus a few cysts now and then. Over the past month, I've cleared my skin completely using Carley's. I was about 95% clear after three weeks, but I wanted to wait to write a review just to make sure it wasn't a fluke. Now I'm 100% zit-free! I used the Industrial Strength Kick A** kind, and I followed the instructions almost exactly. The only thing I did differently was I started using the acne wash twice a day to speed up the clearing process (they tell you to use the wash and soap once a day and then just the soap the other time to wash off make-up/sweat). I'm not sure if that's recommended, but it worked! I know there's a lot of controversy over these reviews, and I'm not sure what to say about that. (Although I have to make this observation: it does seem like the naysayers are all using the same scare tactics by saying "I broke out in horrible cysts and now I have permanent scars!" I also just find that unlikely.) Anyway, I'm just telling you that it worked for me, so calm the heck down. One thing I used to hate about the BP products my dermo put me on is that they were so harsh and drying that they'd leave me looking really old and wrinkled. You wash the BP off in Carley's regime, so that's not the case. And when I use their fab day moisturizer, I think I look really glowing and youthful! Basically, try it. Don't get your hopes up, because everyone's different and it may not work for you. But they'll give you your money back in full if it doesn't, and the guy will respond to your questions via email within a couple hours. Plus, $21 for a few months? After prescriptions, that's nothing.

Pros:

I don't normally take the time to leave feedback but I feel compelled to thank you for your products and for your business practices.  These days it's hard to find a company that not only sells a quality product for a reasonable price but also one that includes samples, gives shipping information practically immediately and ships as quickly as you do.  I am so pleased doing business with you, thank you.  As for me, I am 30 years old and I still have acne.  The only thing that kept it in li

Cons:

None

Awesome products and great service!!!

Pros:

Easy to use
Skin feels clean
Awesome customer service, really fast and friendly.
Free samples :D
Freakin WORKS.

Cons:

Treatment can be somewhat watery and runny.
Need to have fresh face towels prepared at all times, thought that's not a huge problem.

Since puberty, I've had acne. I was only nearly completely clear when using stronger stuff, like glycolic acid and benzoyl peroxide which dried out my face and made it feel like a desert. I started to worry that my skin was only good for now because of the constant chemical exfoliation and that I would have to depend on it to have nice skin. I didn't want that sort of dependency, especially since I'm only 15 so I stopped. Lo and behold, my acne came back worse than before. The positive reviews combined with mild desperation prompted me to get the Kick *ss version of the treatment. I'm not lying when I say that my skin looked and felt better from the first time of using this. Seriously. It's been a week now and I'm seeing results and I'm so so happy. I got two of those painful bumps under the skin that usually takes a while to come out, but when I use this it just sorts of dies down and disappear. My skin is clearing up and scars are fading. I've only been using this for a week so I can't wait to see what happens after a few months.

Pros:

Carley's Clear & Smooth. Cleared my blackheads in a day and they have not returned at all. My pores are much smaller. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE that I have clear skin. Thank you!!

Cons:

No cons at all. Zero

Great products everyone can trust. I am buying two products to my friends to try out, one has acne so I got the Kick Ass acne treatment, and the other one has large pores like me. I'm confident they will like these products. The eye cream is also very nice, I find all the products very natural, very smoothing. And the prices are unbeatable.

Pros:

a note from the Carley's Clear & smooth.
since this is a .org site we appreciate an opportunity to respond.

Cons:

none

we understand that nothing works for everyone. we also know that we have competitors who love to trash our product pretending to be buyers. any product on the internet is subject to fake reviews. good or bad. but if this product is a fake how do you explain the 30,000 99.9% positive reviews on ebay? those reviews have to match up to a sale. every feedback HAS to be from a real buyer. so no one can post fake good or bad reviews. so why doesn't this work on everyone? some people have used stay on the skin ointments for years(many well over 10 years). day and night constantly. they have so damaged their skin with these harsh chemicals that no product is going to help them. at least not right away. in fact go back in history and you will find adult acne is only a recent occurrence. right about the time (30 years ago) that benzoyl peroxide was introduced as a stay on the skin ointment. before then acne was just about only a teen issue. today millions of adults suffer. in our opinion, acids and benzoyl peroxide should never be left on the skin for extended periods of time. they damage the natural balance of the skin. if we can get you in time we can usually help you. but if you are using a 10% benzoyl peroxide wash and a salycic acid or BP ointment constantly for a long time, likely you are seeing less and less results. eventually you could lay that stuff on an inch thick and you're still going to be dealing with acne the rest of your life. the big acne companies are destroying your skin.

Pros:

It got rid of my insanely painful cystic acne
Great customer service, super fast!
It is the only thing that has ever worked for me
Pretty inexpensive when compared to other brands that cost over $60 and don't work
Skin is waaaaay smoother

Cons:

That I didn't find out about it sooner

I had moderately severe acne and found Carley's. Within 6 months my face looked amazing and everyone complimented me. For some stupid reason, I figured my face looked better so I didn't need to use it anymore. I was so wrong! My face was back to horrible in no time. I will never stray again, and I don't know what I would do if they stopped making it. It is really embarrassing to be 26 and have the face of a 13 year old. My face is not completely clear yet, but it is well on it's way. I used to be embarrassed for anyone to see me without make up. Now I'm a little less afraid, and don't rush to put on my make up in the morning in fear someone will drop by. Even though I'm an adult I use the Kick ass formula for teens because my acne was so bad. I had really painful cystic acne that would not go away for months it seems. No acne treatment works for everyone, so ignore the really bad reviews that seem to be popping up on this site. I am sooo happy to have found this product.

Pros:

I love all of Carley's products. My daughter uses the anti-acne and I have been using their soaps exclusively for years. All of their products including scrubs, pore minimizer, Kukui nut cream are all exceptional products. I wouldn't and haven't used anything else since discovering Carley.

Cons:

Anyone that says these products do not work are either not using than as indicated or are totally providing an inaccurate rating. All their products last, so when you divide the amount paid by the days you have used the product, it is actually very inexpensive.

Try it. Give it a fair amount of time because each skin type is different. Even the most expensive products tell you it has to get worse before it gets better. You won't regret it.
