Pros:

This really does work. I only get the very odd breakout now if I am hormonal or ill with a virus or something. No longer have to pump myself full of antibiotics that don't really work. No need for any other topical applications.

Cons:

Can't buy in in England and therefore have to ship from the states.
Will stain dark coloured wash clothes and towels. Who cares, use white ones for your face.

I am about to place my third order for this. They send free soap with it which is brilliant in itself. I use this twice a day to wash my face - I do a double wash at night to really clean - then use the treatment scrub every morning in the shower. The one bar of soap lasts as long as the bottle of scrub which is about 4 or 5 months - bargain. They give a lifetime guarantee so even if you use the whole bottle, if it doesn't work return it for a full refund. You really have nothing to lose, because if you are like me you have tried everything out there including stuff that costs an absolute fortune. Please note that my costs include shipping to the UK. Their service is also excellent, they reply to all questions personally and give dedicated advice when needed. Really nice people.

Pros:

Light feel, natural scent, helps my face be moisturized AND blemish-free. It has also worked for my teenage daughters. We are all SOOOOO HAPPPPY!!! How could it be that the answer is so simple? High quality, NO irritants.

Cons:

NONE

I have had acne for 26 years. I've been on Minocin (2 yrs), Accutane (2ce- I quit the 2nd time -too drying), had cortisone shot into my face many times, chemical peels, and every acne treatment I found, plus tons of expensive face creams, in every combination and regimen I could think of. Vitamins, herbs, everything. I finally developed an allergy to Benzoyl Peroxide. I had pretty much given up when I read somewhere about how sometimes sensitive skin reacts in a way that mimics acne. Bingo! And, duh to the many drs. (I'm so mad). I bought Carley's. My 14 yr old girl used to break out, plus had red cheeks and lots of tiny pimples on her forehead and blkhds on her nose and chin. She also has excema. I thought she had rosacea, but put off drs due to my exp. We both have completely cleared up. It's amazing, I am so sold, and so mad that I wasted all those yrs and have the scars to prove it. I'm blond, bl eyes & fair, freckled skin. I am 52, and on Carley's 4 life! Bless

THE BEST PRODUCT I HAVE EVER USED ON MY ACNE COVERED FACE (and I've had acne for 15 years)
I tried Accutane when I was 14 and it cleared up my skin but after a couple of years i begun to break out again. I went on the pill but it made very moody and emotionally unstable. I've tried every chemist product you can think of, I used proactive and that actually worked for me but while travelling I lost the bottle and my skin broke out worst then ever, when I finally got a new bottle it had no effect on my acne and actually made it worst. Spiralactlone did nothing but give me slight heart palpitations and antibiotics did nothing. I've tried estroblock and natural hormone supplements. Liver supplements. I've washed my face with oils and also tried not washing it at all. I've watched million of YouTube videos and follow instagram pages. I'm 27, how is this normal??? I started Carleys Clean and Clear a week ago and I can already tell the difference!!!! I will be sure to keep everyone update. TRY IT!!! WHAT HAVE YOU GOT TO LOOSE? They sent me all these free samples as well and all have worked wonders on my skin. I would stay at homes on weekends because of my skin. I still Have scaring but now I can have makeup on without the lumps and bumps. This is just wonderful!!! X

@Chanae Which of her products did you order?

What is the update after 4 months ??
February 16, 2012

Pros:

it works for me, I'm nearly 40 (!!) and still get acne..I think I have intolerance to SLS, but have general skin sensitivity too

Cons:

the bleaching of towels and sometimes the necks of clothes if I don't wash off thoroughly. I purposely won't wear black immediately afterwards just in case.

I've had acne for around 20 years, some periods better than others. I've tried everything in that time including Quinoderm, BP products, Eryacne (erthyromycin), Isotrexin, oral antibiotics...everything...and recently the regimen acne.org products too... So the bottom line, for me anyway, is that Carley's works the best of any of the above. I have however noticed that if I use the soap that is recommended as well then I still get a breakout sometimes so I don't use it now and get much better results, but that's just me. The next best product I have tried is the acne.org stuff, but I would say, for me anyway, this is only around 65% as effective as Carley's. I will be using this stuff as long as they keep making it.

Pros:

Keeps skin clear!!

Cons:

None!!

I switched from Carley's to Murad acne complex kit about 3 months ago... Just to see if I could see a dramatic difference in my skin I am worried about anti-aging... Well I ended up going from clear skin to having severe acne just one week after using murad... I stuck it out for the 2 months as suggested ... Not leaving the house unless absolutely necessary.. I was mortified... I decided to return the product... And immediately went back to Carley's after just one week all the major sores were gone and everything was pretty much clear again in just 2 weeks... So as far as anti-aging I scheduled a consult at my plastic surgeon for some Botox and juvederm and will continue to use Carley's :)

Pros:

I love this product. It is working great for me (42) my son (21) and my daughter (11). I have had acne all my life and this is the ONLY product that works for me. I have tried everything except Accutane (which i refuse to use due to the side effects) and Carly's Clean and Clear works. I wish I had this product 20 years ago. Works on bad acne and mild acne and also washes aways acne scars and minizes pours

Cons:

At first my skin was irritated when i used the wash rag to wipe off the product. After a couple weeks, it was no longer an issue

USE THIS PRODUCT!!!! you will not be disappointed. It is worth every penny. The customer service is awesome, they send you extra products to try out at no cost.

Pros:

I started in dec 2009 and was clear after a month or 4-5, combined with a milk- and wheatfree diet. I have been using it ever since! I have very pale sensitive skin that used to get very red with other products. It draw the attention even more than the acne itself. But my skin accepts this product.

Cons:

It takes more time than to just use soap(you need a clean wash cloth every day to take the product off after 30 sec), but..

totally worth the "trouble"!!! And my very sensitive skin

Pros:

the ONLY product that's ever worked consistantly for me, and I've tried every otc(over the counter) and prescription out there with the exeption of accutane. and I strongly advise that nobody use acutane because of the risk of side effects such as crones dissease.

Cons:

I don't know if this qualifies as a con, but nothing actually cures acne. you will have to use this product regularly in order to keep your acne from coming back, but after using the "jump start method" it dosen't take as much of this product to get the same results. so I guess this is actually a pro!

THIS IS AWESOME STUFF! after 30+ years of suffering the humilliation of looking like the goalie for the dart team, I can proudly show my face in public. people without acne just don't know how awful it feels to look in the mirror and see your face full of huge painfull red boils. society treats people with acne like we're dirty, like we live on french fries and chocolate bars. I started getting acne from wrestling in school. acne is caused by staff bacteria, as I understand. that's why antbiotics help clear it up, but for some people it just keeps coming back. Well.... this is the answer to my prayers. This product literaly gave me my life back! I'm in sales now, 'cause I'm not embarassed of my skin. I have no problem getting a date, I don't hide when people get their camera out, I have a new level of confidence like I've never had when I had a face full of huge welts. forget clearacil, forget proactive, forget all otc products , this is it! the only product you'll ever need to control your acne. I've never endorsed another acne product in my lfe, because this is the only one that has really done what they say it will do. just follow the directions on the web site, and you'll see for yourself. They didn't pay me to write this, like they pay people to do T.V. comercials. They're fake! They put fake zits on with makeup for the "before" photos and wash the makeup off for the "after" ones.This is the real deal, I tried this stuff figuring I had nothing to lose. I am so happy that I did, and if you try this stuff, you'll be the next person writing a revew like this one. the first bottle of kick *ss treatment lasted a month, but after that it now lasts twice as long 'cause I only need to use half as much to get the same results. THANK YOU STEVE!

I've been using Carley's for about 8 years now. Not only do I NOT have acne, everyone thinks I'm younger than my age!

Pros:

I love all of Carley's products. My daughter uses the anti-acne and I have been using their soaps exclusively for years. All of their products including scrubs, pore minimizer, Kukui nut cream are all exceptional products. I wouldn't and haven't used anything else since discovering Carley.

Cons:

Anyone that says these products do not work are either not using than as indicated or are totally providing an inaccurate rating. All their products last, so when you divide the amount paid by the days you have used the product, it is actually very inexpensive.

Try it. Give it a fair amount of time because each skin type is different. Even the most expensive products tell you it has to get worse before it gets better. You won't regret it.
