Pros:

Excellent product, lasts a long time so great value.

Cons:

None

In my opinion it's the best product around for acne. It also leaves my skin smooth and feeling extremely clean. I reorder when required and would never use any pharmacy brands ever again. Cannot believe the negative responses are entirely truthful, everyone is different fair enough but the product is way more effective than anything I've ever used before, over many years, which is why I keep reordering. And the soap is (I think) chemical free so excellent for washing face, hair and body day to day. This works for me!

Pros:

I ordered Clear and Smooth for my son who is 48, and has always had acne. He has tried all kinds of other products and some have worked for a while, then he would hae the same problems with his skin. But he loves Clear and Smooth. His skin looks much better and I have just ordered his second bottle for him.

Cons:

None

My son is so pleased with Clear and Smooth. I love the soap and use it a lot. This is a class A product and company.

Pros:

natural
cost effective

Cons:

shipping to Australia is expensive

I don't have acne but have Erythema Multiforme which is a severe itchy rash on my legs and face. The only product that soothes and calms this is the Exotic Butter and the soap. All I have in my shower is the soap which I also use as a moisturising shampoo. I use the moisturiser all over and as a hair treatment. I recently deployed to the tropics and that's all I took with me for the body and hair and one bar of soap and one bottle of lotion lasted the whole 6mths. I'm 48 yrs old will not use anything else now. Great value for money.

Pros:

IT WORKS LIKE JESUS.
Its almost all natural, so it satisfies my inner hippy, its no fuss, and it doesn't leave my skin feeling dry.

Cons:

shipping to Australia is a bit steep, but the bottle does last me for at least 6 months so i can handle it. I also have to be careful not to sleep on my face, becaus eif i don't wash the cleanser off properly, i end up bleaching my pillow case while i sleep -.-

I use the kickass version, because i had a bit of a pizza face on my forehead. I did try the original version first but that didn't work for me after over a month, so I jumped ship to the teen version and that had me clear in a little over a week by using the cleanser mask trick that steve recommends on the support site for a few days I had tried proactive, but that didn't do a thing and made my skin feel like it was about to crack because it was so dry.

Pros:

I am over 55 and use these products specifically for purposes of anit-aging; keeping my skin clean, and my pores small. In my lifetime, I have tried a plethoria of soaps and creams until one day about 6 years ago, I came across Carley's on eBay and thought I would take a chance. I have never come across anything that works as well on my skin. The soap cleans my skin beautifully and the creams and lotions are non-oily, go on silky smooth, and feel just luscious on the skin.

Cons:

I use these products for anti-aging so I cannot comment on how it works for those with acne.

I would like to take a moment to address the negative reivews I have read and I say what a bunch of nonsense - anyone can write anything they want on the internet and never have to take accountablity for it. In business, there is competiton, and that is a good and healthy thing, because, when you have a choice, companies are then forced to produce better products. On the other hand, it can be underhanded and it is unfortunate that some businesses will stop at nothing to discredit their competition. By reading the negative comments, I suspect that is the case. Anyone who has really tried these products could not have had such an experience like that, maybe the products don't work the same for everyone, but the silly things written here about it? Just nonsense! And the people who make these prodcuts have never tried to "fool" me in any way, shape or form. But, I look at it this way, the product must be REALLYgood if the competition is jumping in with their negative 2 cents!! These are QUALITY products. For those of you who disagree with me, you are entitled to your own opinon (nothing works the same for everyone) BUT you are not entitled to make up your own facts. Take these negative reviews with a grain of salt....

Pros:

Absolutely the best Adult Acne treatment I've ever used, and I've tried everything from the stores, and even tried the one from the "Infomercial", and it worked in the beginning, but the results didn't last like they have with Carley's Clean & Smooth. The ingredients are top of the line and the customer service is A+++.

Cons:

There are no CONS for this prodcut or company. They are the TOPS!!

Bottom Line, this product works better than anything I've tried. It is easy to use and my skin has been clear for over a year now. I have saved so much money because I've finally found something that works as described....and I now have no need to continually try new things. The people at Carley's are really great too. If you have a question or concern they actually reply to emails with answers that make sense and are very helpful to guide you to use their products for optimal success. I would recommend that anyone with skin issues, either acne problems or sensitive skin give this line a try.....It really is wonderful.... I noticed another comment said that one of the "CONs" was that it had a bleaching effect, I just wanted to mention that in my experience, any product that contains benzoil peroxide will bleach natural fibers. This includes spot treatments as well as facial washes. I knew this when I started using Carley's and made a point of buying a large pack of white face cloths to make sure I didn't ruin my good ones. Also, per the directions, you are supposedd to lather the cloth up after using the scrub and do a final wash, which should remove any residue of the scrub... I've never had a problem with my clothes or pillow cases being discolored due to this product.... Ultimately....I give it an A++++ and I highly recommend it!!

This stuff is fantastic! I can't get enough! The service is great and the seller is very honest and helpful in any way he can be. He has always answered any questions I had and was very helpful and happy to help. I was on prescription medicines for my skin a few years ago and I got tired of paying the high prices for my meds. I did a search online and found carleys. I have been using it ever since and love it!!!

Pros:

None.

Cons:

I had mild acne before trying this product and purchased it on the basis of the many positive reviews on this site. Within a few weeks I had deep cystic acne on my jawline that I had never experienced before.

Please be very wary of the reviews for Carly's on this site. Although the product may work for some people, the claims of its effectiveness in reviews on acne.org are grossly exaggerated and likely false (as has been pointed out by others). The manufacturers are very defensive about their tactics and claim that the product is not a "scam" because it works for some people. However, any company that willfully deceives its clients into believing their product is much more effective than it is, is scamming them. I bought this product based solely on the reviews seen here and feel like I was duped. I know they have a money-back guarantee, but seriously I would have paid triple the price to not have experienced the break-out I had while using it. This company preys on the low self-esteem and sheer hopefulness that acne sufferers have for finding a miracle cure. Rest assured, this isn't it and this company is very dishonest in its marketing tactics.

Pros:

Great info on website & great communication with company. Money-back guarantee with no time limit. They also have promotions and sometimes give free samples. The cleanser works very well and smells great (my opinion!). They even offer a stronger version if you need it. Products leaves skin clean, soft and is not overly drying. Previous products I have tried left my skin red and peeling.

Cons:

None? Just follow the directions. They are simple and clear. Acne products need time to show their effects, so be patient. Don't know if product bleaches towels b/c I only use white and I always bleach them anyway.

Money-back guarantee, so try it and see if it is for you. I am 39 years old (aren't I too old for this?!) and my acne was driving me crazy. Could not get rid of it. It would worsen once a month and start "way under the skin." Looked like little tumors. lol. Was skeptical this would work because hormones were obviously playing a large role. These products work very well for me. I do use the industrial strength version. I also use their day and night moisturizers and they do not cause me to breakout worse. Confession- I also use Retin A, but I used it for 2 years before I tried Carley's and it alone was not getting the job done and probably made redness/drying worse. My daughter is 13 and is starting to have a little acne. She also has sensitive skin and she has done really well with this cleanser and the moisturizers as well. I also like the mineral foundation, (they send samples), chapstick, and masks this company sells. The website on ebay is very informative and they are quick to ship and respond to any questions.
