Pros:

I just had to give feedback, which is something I usually do not do. I bought the industrial strength acne formula for teens, the midnight moisturizer and the daytime moisturizer in January last year and I love it. I've used the lotions, the face wash and the natural soap and my skin has never been better. I absolutely love their products, and not just the ones that are exclusively for your face.

Cons:

None that I can think of.

This stuff is basically awesome. That is all.

Pros:

Easy to use, leaves skin feeling clean, but not dry.

Cons:

None!

It keeps my skin and that of my 2 teenagers clear from bumps, pimples, blackheads, etc. I'm 42 and my teens are 14 and 17. I have been using Carly's for approx. 10 years and wouldn't use anything else. Also, my 17 yr old has KP on his face and this keeps it under control.

Pros:

-provided a large volume
-smells great
-not as irritating as other products (e.g. proactiv)
-easy to use/quick to use
-significantly reduced number of pimples
-reduced severity of pimples (not as large or persistent)
-very economical

Cons:

-uses milled walnut shells as exfoliator, would prefer synthetic beads of some sort that are less abrasive
-did not get rid of my acne completely

I'm usually not one to post reviews about acne products, I usually just read them! I use to be a religious proactiv user (for 6-7 years), but I found that it made my skin so hyper sensitive to sunlight that my face ended up much more tan than my neck and ears. After trying a number of other products, which pretty much failed... I tried Carley's Clear and Smooth Industrial Strength for Teens (even though I'm in my mid-20s). It was the best solution for me. I don't use the soap to wash the product of my face afterward as instructed, but I always use a facecloth (I find it makes a big difference regardless of what I product I've used). I still have "light" acne, induced my exercise I believe, but I am consistent with using Carley's cleanser for the past 18 months and do feel it makes a tremendous difference... I don't plan on changing products anytime soon.

Pros:

Easy to use
Skin feels clean
Awesome customer service, really fast and friendly.
Free samples :D
Freakin WORKS.

Cons:

Treatment can be somewhat watery and runny.
Need to have fresh face towels prepared at all times, thought that's not a huge problem.

Since puberty, I've had acne. I was only nearly completely clear when using stronger stuff, like glycolic acid and benzoyl peroxide which dried out my face and made it feel like a desert. I started to worry that my skin was only good for now because of the constant chemical exfoliation and that I would have to depend on it to have nice skin. I didn't want that sort of dependency, especially since I'm only 15 so I stopped. Lo and behold, my acne came back worse than before. The positive reviews combined with mild desperation prompted me to get the Kick *ss version of the treatment. I'm not lying when I say that my skin looked and felt better from the first time of using this. Seriously. It's been a week now and I'm seeing results and I'm so so happy. I got two of those painful bumps under the skin that usually takes a while to come out, but when I use this it just sorts of dies down and disappear. My skin is clearing up and scars are fading. I've only been using this for a week so I can't wait to see what happens after a few months.

Pros:

Cleans up your skin for good. Does not strip your skin. easy to use. just follow instructions. cleans up old product residue

Cons:

did not find it before. caution around colored fabrics - will bleach. Is not an immediate fix. takes time to clear the old problems.

does work. is not an immediate fix. must follow instructions. would recommend to all. very inexpensive product that does work. seller always packs shipping box super full for one shipping price!!! samples of other products are great also!!

Pros:

Doesn't dry out or irritate skin if used correctly, 5-10x cheaper than the other medications I was using before, easy and quick to use and you do not need to wear some nasty cream or lotion all day.

Cons:

Takes time. At first it made problem worse- but this was because I wasn't using a wash cloth after putting on the treatment and I often missed a day so I tried countering that by putting it on twice the next day. Not good - follow the directions.

If this product doesn't work for you it's because of 1 of 2 things. 1) You're doing it wrong. 2) You have extremely severe acne and you need to get on accutane or another strong acne medication. - Follow the directions EXACTLY. From my experience, heavy use of the soap = drier skin. This can be good or bad. Experiment with different amounts of soap and treatment and always use the wash cloth after putting on the treatment. After I got the correct amounts down I stopped getting acne almost instantly and within a few weeks I was completely clear! This product, normal or industrial strength should work for almost everyone. Just be sure to be patient, follow the instructions, and be disciplined to do vital things like taking showers after working out, etc and it will work for you.

Pros:

Brilliant product - requires persistance and sticking to the instructions but it WILL help your skin. Looks natural and smells fresh and it is the only alternative to all the "miracel" products around full of chemicals.

Cons:

None so far

This not a "miracle" cure for your acne but it is a producct that will make a HUGE difference to your skin. Your acne will improve until you barely have spots and I have started to notice a decrease in the scars and marks I had. You MUST be focused about using this and give it a chance. If you follow the instructions and keep using it for a few weeks you will see how great it is and how much better your skin starts to feel and look. I have tried a lot of products out there - some work some don't. This is the best I have tried, the nicest to use and has the most realistic and comforting results so far. I live in Israel and I have never waited more than a week or so for it to arrive and it's always full of freebies. Try it if you want to start a skin regime for life.

Pros:

Great price - large bottle - last a long time!! WORKS!!

Cons:

Can be harsh - will / might break out your skin at first. Have to keep using.

I had horrible acne when I first tried this product! After 4 months I was nearly acne free. After 6 months I was completely acne free. I have been using this product for 8 years. I just placed my 5th re-order. That will also tell you how long it last. (I usually order 2 bottles sometimes 3 at a time) The one issue I have is I have tried to stop taking it and the acne comes back.

Pros:

One of the best products I have ever used. Cleared up skin within a few weeks. Skin not oily like it was after being on some regimens.

Cons:

Skin feels tight after use. Still haven't found the right moisturizer yet to go along with it.

Very good product. be patient with it. Might have a few pimples come up at first, but those will go away fairly quickly. Skin may feel tight if you have dry skin, but if you can find the right moisturizer, this product is perfect.
