Pros:

Have been using this product for over 2 years now and it still works! Great customer care. Have tried loads of other acne care products including prescription antibitoics, stiemycin gel and even a dermatology referral for roaccutane. (That worked but acne came back as soon as I finished course and had max of 3 courses)

Cons:

Shipping expensive to UK

I would gladly recomend this product to anyone with mild to moderate acne. It's not a cure but then they don't sell it as one either. I'm a nurse and would even recomend this to patients.

Cost, Effectiveness, Moisture, Results

Cons:

None at all

Carley's Clear and Smooth Skin have created the most HONEST working relationship with their clientele. ALL of their products do exactly as they say they will. I am soooo in love with their line and couldn't imagine putting anything else on my skin! Especially since discovering their new mineral makeup. My skin is clear and sooo fresh and healthy! Not healthy-looking, really honest-to-God healthy. The scrub and the soap togther work amazingly. In the beginning it will take a few weeks to really see results because pimples are typically forming under the skin up to 3 weeks before they emerge, it takes awhile to clear out all the pores (I saw a dermatologist a lot before finding this product, hence the smatypants speak). After 2 months I completely stopped wearing face makeup unless I was going for a night out. Everyone is unique, but I have personally recommeded Carley's line to TONS of my friends and family and they are hooked too. The lip balm, the soap, the night moisturizer, the mineral makeup, the scrub, oh my goodness I love them all! I can't believe I'm writing this big of a review haha. But seriously, with a loofah and the soap in the shower my skin actually does SQUEAK clean :) Also I am an Indoor tanner and Carley's has improved a lot of my early aging signs due to the UV exposure (thank goodness). I wish the best of luck always to Steve Wills and his family and I hope these products always remain in production because I would have a permanent *panic attack* without them. Use it consistently and follow the directions and I promise you will fall in love as I have xo

Pros:

It works. It's natural. It's vegan. It's relatively inexpensive. It smells good. Customer service is outstanding. I LOVE it and I will continue purchasing it.

Cons:

In my case, it took a little while to start working but I love the formula so much that I stuck it out. $8 shipping is kinda pricey but if you get a lot of stuff at one time it makes it worth it.

I purchased the original formula around the end of Jan but by mid-March I wasn't seeing enough improvement so I purchased the industrial strength formula and in late Mar I am seeing results. I also use their daytime and night time moisturizer, Regenerations moisturizer, and natural bar soap...all of which I LOVE!! An excellent buy and I definitely recommend buying it. I got my boyfriend hooked on it and he's a hard sell.

It takes the color out of any material it gets on.

The cost is excellent and the service is fast. I have been purchasing this product for 6 years and all of my teenagers love it.

This product works great! I have always had a problem with acne and finding something affordable that works is nearly impossible. Until I found this product.

Cons:

None. My skin has been acne free since I started using it.

This is the best affordable acne product on the market today!! I will continue to use it faithfully.

Pros:

cleared skin
it works!
no chemicals
keeps new acne from forming

Cons:

occasionally stains towels and clothes
can take time to work

first of all, this is the first time ive ever taken the time to post a review of a product ive seen on this website. for years ive had light/moderate acne, it was never severe but i definitely had days where i didnt want to leave the house and i felt insecure even with makeup on. sometimes i got my face 90% clear but then i would constantly wake up with new pimples forming. the product did take some time to work but after about 3 weeks, i saw my skin getting better and better. ive used carleys for about 7 months now, every so often i may get a minor breakout(usually around my period) but carleys has significantly helped my skin and kept it clear when no other products worked. believe me i tried over 50 products over the years...yes even proactive and murad. i use the day lotion and tamanu cream (to treat any redness) with the face wash every morning and night. for any person that may be doubting any reviews the see on here about carleys...you have to understand that not every product that has good reviews is going to work for you. everyones skin is different and it will react different. while i cant promise it will work for you, i can tell you that i 100% back and believe in this product, and it has been the ONLY thing that has given me clear skin again.

Pros:

i love this product! I am a 54 year old woman who has had problems with bumps and breakouts my whole life, and I discovered this product about 10 years ago, and i now have skin worthy of an ivory soap girl! An old girl, yeah, but clear and healthy. i think i've finally gotten my daughters to give up all the packaged chemically infused products and switch...a VERY smart move!

Cons:

None...although I didn't care for the shampoo.

A simple, healthy alternative to the heavily marketed "cures" out there...and this one works! And besides, it feels good to support a truly "home grown" business!

Pros:

Cost effective acne solution that really works!

Cons:

None

I have been purchasing the Kick Ass for severe acne for a couple of years now. It is the ONLY acne product that has handled my lifelong acne. I love how I feel '˜clean & fresh' after I use it. This product along with the natural soap are amazing!!!! Their customer service is second to none. Every time I order I am still astounded at how quickly my order arrives. The generous size samples they always include have been the perfect size to take with me when I travel. Thank you for these outstanding products. Keep up the good work.

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.
