Carley's : Clear and Smooth Skin Treatment

Everyone one should try it...I've given it to my mom and brother as Christmas gifts. You have to give it a few months of dedication and stay away from other products. But once it's routine it's very easy to keep up with.

While I do believe this product can actually work for some, it did the opposite for me. I have very sensitive skin and I think the scrubbing was just to harsh for me. The new zits that I would get would get so large, they would take forever to go away. I still have scars on my face from some of them. I don't think that this company is a scam. I just think that this product will either work for you or won't at all. I have since switched to Dan's regimen and have been clear ever since.

I've tried various prescriptions from a dermatologist & Proactiv as well as tons of make up to "cover up". Those products all made my acne & skin worse. It turns out I'm allergic to Benzoyl Peroxide, the active ingredient in Proactiv, many prescription acne treatments and Carley's Clear & Smooth. However, I believe the method of using Carley's is the key for me. The Benzoyl Peroxide is not allowed to sit on my face for hours with Carley's. I've experimented with using just the scrub and only washing it off with water - no soap. My face reacted the same way as it did with the Proactiv/prescriptions. If I use it the way the directions say, washing before and after with the bar soap - NO PROBLEMS!!! I've also been able to lay off the make up, as there's nothing to cover up anymore. My sister now uses the scrub & soap, my mom uses the soap and I use the soap on my 3 year old daughter (I started with her when I noticed how dry her skin got - since washing her with the bar soap - the dry skin has gone away). I think the cost is very reasonable compared to all the other commercial products available. I order only twice a year and use it regularly every day. I glanced over the over the reviews here.....no one product is going to work for 100% of the population of acne sufferers. We're all looking for something that helps us. For those of us that this has helped, we're grateful. If it hasn't worked for you - I'm sorry, I hope you find something that does. Steve does have a full refund policy for his products and he does stand behind that promise. He's always answered any inquires I had promptly. I took a chance on trying this product 8 years ago, after turning to the internet for help out of desperation. I'm glad I did.

Some of the "finest products" I have ever used.

Ever since I had acne as a teen-ager I have had to wear heavy make-up re-applied several times per day to try to hide the lumps and bumps of on-going adult acne continuing into my 40's. What a difference the scrub (and natural soap) have made for my skin. If I do not use them, I start to break-out. Thankful to have the product for my kids so they do not have to live with acne and can have "clear and smooth" skin.

I love this product, and I will continue to order it as long as it is available. Thank you for creating such a great treatment.

I am a huge skeptic after using this and yes I fell for all the good reviews. I didn't look all the way through but I was like WOW five stars on so many. So I got it and used it, broke me out horribly in the first couple days. But the site said keep using it, and so I did... following the instructions to the letter. And lo and behold, my face did something it has never EvER done before. I started getting nasty cystic acne. Deep painful acne that i couldn't do anything with. It hurt forever and I couldn't get it out. My face finally cleared again back to where it was, some blackheads and stuff when i stopped using it. I believe this product is a fake like people say, it disgusts me that I fell for it and i really hope other people begin to realize how horrible it is to exploit people who already suffer from acne and how freaking bad it makes them feel. DO NOT USE. :(

First of all, I wrote a review on this website a little over a year ago (you can still find it if you scroll back far enough). I don't get why the "helpfulness score" is negative since I thought I wrote a rather thorough review. Then I did a little search on Google and found that there are some people on this website who declare themselves to be "anti-Carley". I find that to be completely absurd. Perhaps this product did not work for those individuals, which is entirely possible and of course they're entitled to write their own negative reviews of the product. But to give a thumb down to every positive review is simply immature and irresponsible. In any case, now I'll write my actual review. Since I last posted in Sept. 09 (I think...), I tried to switch to Origins' Checks and Balance in the spring and my face was reacting positively to it. I used it for a month thinking that I could finally stop using Clear & Smooth since I hate to have to order it online every time I run out. Another month went by and I started noticing more and more breakouts on my cheeks. At first I wasn't too worried but by the end of the summer they became pustules that left scars all over my face except for my forehead. It was like high school and early college all over again. I had no choice but to switch back to Clear & Smooth once again and it took a few weeks to bring the acne under control. It's been about 4 months since I restarted the regimen and there's been no major breakouts. A whitehead here and there but usually not noticeable. To be honest I still use Origins' cleanser once in a while when I am traveling for a weekend and don't want to bring my Clear & Smooth with me and my face handles it okay. I think I just can't use that continuously for weeks... So the bottom line is Clear & Smooth is not for everyone. From what I read in some reviews it can make your acne ever worse than ever. However, for some, like myself, this product is a savior.

This product works, and good luck finding something that treats KP, because I've tried it all! Give this around weeks to see REAL results. Remember your pores are going to naturally purge any remaining bacteria that's deep down when you first use this, so a few breakouts are natural. After that, you'll be impressed. Patience is the key. :))

terrible. i used to have mild to moderate acne that was annoying but actually manageable. i wish i had those days back. carleys gave me SEVERE acne and im not lying. i was so depressed and im still so sad about what it did to my skin. it changed the type of acne i had, i would get it in places i never did before. i used it consistently for months (like 4 to 5) and emailed the guy and he told me to stick with it. i just couldnt stand to see my acne get much worse, i had huge cysts on my cheeks, chin and forehead. i felt so gross and unattractive. i even got cystic acne in places i never had any problems with before, namely my jawline and even my neck! so dont fall for all the fake reviews like i did, if you really read them youll notice that they all sound the same. also, a product that ONLY either has 5 stars or next to none...thats a little sketchy. every product has reviews in the middle...it just seems like theyre only trying to sell you the junk. so PLEASE dont make the same mistake i did, you will regret it later when you have to go back to the dermatologist or dans regimen!
