Worked at first

Cons:

You must use it in the shower. The natural soap doesn't last very long, and I have to order it, so I ordered 5 more bars.
drying

I stopped using this years ago... and wanted to updated my review. It dried out my skin to the extent where my eye lids were flaking off :/

Pros:

Inexpensive, especially when you break the cost down over a year.
Really works!! My skin has never been clearer.
My skin does not "get used to" the product, causing it to stop working over time.
Smells great, unlike other cleansers I have used.
Moisturizer is refreshing, light, and not greasy - keeps my skin from drying, peeling, even in the winter time.

Cons:

I honestly can't think of any to put here, other than I can't just go to the store and pick it up - but ordering online has always been a breeze and the shipments come right away!

I started with the regular strength in college and switched to the "Industrial strength" when that wasn't quite doing the job for me. I am now a pregnant 27 year old, and my skin has honestly never been clearer. I know a lot of my acne was due to hormonal causes, so I was expecting my skin to get worse with pregnancy (as my sister's had). The cleanser + all natural soap duo has been the only thing to ever work with me. I am a pharmacist and I recommend this product to people who come into my store looking for something when nothing else seems to work. The 5% wash is the same strength as the 5% prescription wash you can get in the pharmacy - plus it's cheaper and you don't need to visit a doctor to get it!! As with any benzoyl peroxide product, it has PEROXIDE in it, so it can and WILL bleach towels. I just usually use white wash clothes and light colored towels and I haven't had a problem with it -well worth it to have clear skin! I buy 3 items at a time so I can get the 4th product free. I keep 1 bottle in the shower with me, which usually lasts about 3-4 months. I place the other bottles that I'm not using in the fridge to help preserve their potency. This system has allowed me to order ~ once a year, and I've never noticed any difference in the bottles I pull from the fridge vs. the one I use right away when it's shipped. Bottom line: I've been using Carley's for over 7 years, and I hope they never stop making it. I'd hate to have to find another product that works, smells great, and is relatively inexpensive over the course of a year.

Pros:

Inexpensive, very easy to use, works on face and body acne.

Cons:

wash is slightly runny.

I am 40 year old adult acne sufferer. I have had adult acne for 8 years and my face has not been completely clear in all that time. I have tried everything from proactive to retin-A, Glytone, clearasil, neutrogena, etc. Carly's really works for me and the soap is great. I also began using a knock off clarisonic brush with the soap after the treatment and that really works the blackheads up on chin and nose.

Pros:

nothing worth mentioning

Cons:

-Caused worse acne than I've ever had around my mouth
-Made me break out in places I have never broken out in before

This product had so much hype I thought I'd give it a try. From all the positive reviews I thought that I may have found an answer to all my acne problems. This was not at all the case. For the first while when I was using it I saw no change at all, but the website said it may take weeks to notice any change. Then after using it for about a month things started to get bad. The acne around my mouth, which was never that severe to start with, got really bad, red and sore. I also started breaking out on my cheeks and I have never had acne there before. I followed the steps just as suggested and used it fluently and consistantly for over one month. I am beyond upset because now I'm left worse than how I started and I have to start from square one again.

Pros:

I have been using this product for five years. I am in my fifties and have oily/dry combo skin prone to breakouts. I now use the scrub and soap as my daily facial regimen. People compliment me on my complexion. Great products and you know what's in them! Thanks, Carley's!

Cons:

It's not a fancy brand if that bothers you - but I am more interested in a product that works! You know you are paying for the product - NOT the advertising budget!

This is a great company to order from. Orders arrive very quickly and always with a sample or two of something else to try. I love ordering from Carley's Clear & Smooth. I am a very satisfied customer, now my 19 year old son is also a fan. I can't say enough good things about these products. I recently also tried the exotic butter moisturizer and it is excellent!

Pros:

The closest thing to a cure that i've used. I'm 34 and have had acne since i was a teen. I have tried every OTC medicine. Nothing compares to this.

Cons:

None, just be sure to use white towels when drying off or they will discolor

Buy this product. I took about 3 weeks before it started to work. But I was using another product and it does state that it cn take that long to work if yu have been using other products.

Pros:

Works great, super customer service, easy to use. The Clear and Smooth gives skin a nice clean feeling and a good glow. The soap works great and is a good supplement to the cleanser!

Cons:

none.

I have been a customer for years and am very happy with the soap and the Clear and Smooth Acne Treatment. They have specials from time to time, so I listed the "price paid" as an average for a month of cleanser + soap + shipping on my last order.

Pros:

Affordable, especially for the amount you get, plus they often include samples of lotions and masks if you want to try their other products. It exfoliates beautifully, clears up stubborn white heads (esp. on chin and sides of mouth) and doesn't make my skin peel or feel tight with dryness. The soap, included with every order, is phenomenal. Although not intended for, I must add Carley's also helped clear up my mild dermatitis.

Cons:

If you leave it around for 5+ months in a hot shower, I think it looses its potency a little which makes sense because all the ingredients are natural with few (also natural) preservatives. Carley's does warn you there's an expiration date.

Totally worth it. No gimmicks, no special "system" to use or several products in a certain order. Simple, once a day, and best of all, it works! I've been using it for over 2 years now and my skin hasn't become "used to" the ingredients, like with Proactiv.

great customer service

Cons:

caused more acne
messy

I tried this product for myself the regular treatment and my son the teen treatment. It did not work at all!!!! My acne got MUCH worse and I really didnt have to much of an acne problem to start it was very mild, this product caused me to have cystic type acne that I never had before and it hurt very bad. When I received my package I felt like it was Christmas and I would finally be able to help my son, he told me this isnt going to work either and it made me sad since I have tried everything :{ product sucks big time!!
