Carley's : Clear and Smooth Skin Treatment

Love this stuff! I have been using it for about a year and i wouldn't use anything else! I stopped using my presciption acne medications cause it was so expensive.. then found carleys acne was and it works better then my prescriptions did! AMAZING!!!!!

First of all, I cannot believe that anyone who has actually tried this product would have anything bad to say about it! I am a 31-year-old woman, and this is the first and only skin product I've tried that consistently keeps my acne at bay (especially during that time of the month). The soap has been wonderful as well- we have very dry, cold winters in Edmonton, Alberta and the past 3 winters that I have been using it are the first ones I can recall that I haven't had dry, flaky skin. My skin tone is just better overall as well. I would add that I feel great about using the soap on my now 4-year-old daughter and knowing that she isn't getting all kinds of harmful chemicals absorbed into her skin :)

I have been using these products for about 10 years. I use multiple products of Clear & Smooth. I usually spend between $60-$85 every 3-4 months. I purchase the 5 bars of soap for $22, plus 2 acne treatment's at $19 each = $38 & every so often I order a lip balm for $15, No matter what you decide to purchase the shipping is $8, so if you buy 1 item its $8 if you decide to buy 10 items it's still $8. I started using this product in my mid 20's I'm in my mid 30's presently. I wish I had found this product sooner. I use to go to the dermatologist consistently for prescriptions. I have used products like Proactiv, Acne Statin, Clinique acne solutions, and Phisoderm acne washes just to name a few. The prescription pills made my stomach hurt & would many times have a loss of appetite. The solution like proactive burned my face to badly, there was nothing refreshing about that product & it was expensive. Seeing the dermatologist for the Acne statin my face was red all the time and dried me out too much. I looked just as bad with a pure red face as with just the acne on its own. Now when I started using Carleys Clear & smooth the price wasn't too bad it took some time before it did work on me. I think I really started to see the results around 2 ½ to 3 months. The first couple of weeks I seen some improvement but nothing to write home about. There were also some daily habits that I also changed. I started to bicycle for exercise a couple of times a week not far just like a total of 4-5 miles each ride 2 times usually sometime 3x a week, I also laid off fast food to 2-3 times a week instead of everyday. I started to eat some fruit with a homemade sandwich with cheese; I use any lunch meat ham, pastrami, roast beef. I slowed my soda intake from everyday to like 3 days a week, I have either ice tea or propel water or minute maid juice of some sort. I just think between the good products of Carleys clear & a few minor life style changes it worked for me.

The soap they send with your orders is wonderful. Due to some medications I take, my skin has become SUPER DRY. I use their soap as a bodywash as well....it lathers like a dream with a bath pouf, and seems to be very ph balanced for me...my skin is neither too try nor to oily. And to the person complaining about using a washcloth...I think that the washcloth is key...most products don't come off with just your hands, you have to use a washcloth. AND YOU HAVE TO USE A CLEAN WASHCLOTH EACH TIME!!! Seriously, this is no great hassle. You can buy a pack of 10 or 12 wash cloths for a few dollars. I keep a drawer in the bathroom just for washcloths, and I have hamper just for dirty washcloths. Then I wash them on HOT. The scrub for me isn't that important...for me the miracle has been the soap. I use the scrub only once or twice a week. I also use Bare Escentuals products along with my Carley's. I use the BE wash, which is actually a powder that becomes a wash when wet. I use this at night after removing my makeup (also Bare Escentuals -I've used other mineral makeup but prefer the new BE MATTE). I remove my makeup first with the Neutragena premoisted towlette things in the blue tub. These remove makeup but leave a residue. Then I use a small amount of the Carley's bar soap, then use the BE wash, rinse with cold water, pat dry. Then I use Bare Minerals lotion if my face feels dry..if not so dry I use Carley's Anti-Aging healing moisturizer. This stuff rocks, but is pricey. I spot treat any small spots with either sal acid or a small amount of BP, depending on severity of the pimple, I spot treat only when needed and only ONCE, I've found that's all that is needed. The pimple will heal on its own. Repeatedly applying that stuff just dries your skin out. If I can pop the zit, I will. (But it has to be truly poppable, otherwise hands off. I can't help it, I just find that it doesn't heal until you pop. Then treat w/ small amt of B

I was desperately searching for something to solve my near cystic acne problem before I got married and found this on eBay - read the product reviews and took a chance. (I have tried alot of other things). I have now been using this product for 4 years and LOVE it! Great advice that worked for me - use a clean cloth everyday with this product and use mineral based make up products only. Wouldn't use anything else now.

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.

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.

i will be a carleys customer for the rest of my life.

I can't get enough of this product, and that's something special to me--I've tried twelve prescriptions, tons of painful light and acid peel treatments, "natural" spa procedures, and absolutely every acne product sold in stores. Seriously, name a brand and I can tell you I've tried it. But even after all of the time and money (oh goodness, all the money...) spent, I was just left with "okay" skin, never 100% clear. I taught myself to accept that I wouldn't have great skin. I became dependent on heavy makeup just to leave the house, which caused me to feel masked and honestly embarrassed. I confessed to a sorority sister how I envied her clear skin; in high school she and I had similar sufferings with awful acne, but in a matter of months her face was flawless, literally flawless. I asked her if she knew where I could buy Pro***** (I had already used it twice, but what the heck, I thought I'd try it again), but instead she gushed, "No! Try Carley's!" and just like that I was hooked. Within weeks my face was clear, I was wearing less makeup, and my confidence skyrocketed. Now we have our whole sorority's chapter using Carley's and we can't get enough! What a blessing this product has been for me and my friends. I would recommend it to anyone!

I recommended this to my sister, my husband and my friends. They were all satisfied with the results and were all hooked to Carley's clear and smooth products.
