Pros:

I'd say none.

Cons:

I can't believe I fell for the bs, this product is disgusting, gritty and gross.

It has you following a weird regimen but I figured i'd try to do this just like it said because of all the raving reviews. WHAT are you all talking about? This destroyed my skin, I broke out worse than ever. I have whiteheads and blackheads but this gave me cystic acne! Sides of my nose, cheeks, forehead. I am so embarrassed and disgusted with myself. If this is a "purging" process then it isn't worth it. This is NOT a miracle cure. Washcloths and soap are a NO-NO always. I should have stuck with what I know. DO not try this unless you want to completely ruin your skin. :(

Pros:

-Fast customer support
-Timely shipping and replies
-All natural
-Generous bottles and samples

Cons:

-Broke me out worse than before
-Lengthy, painful regimen
-Use of washcloths daily
-Two stop washing process in morning, one step at night

This product did not personally work for me, but I still respect their product and think they have a wonderful thing going. While customer support was fast, I was always treated rudely and poorly. I was accused of giving up and was harassed all because I sent an e-mail asking if I was doing it wrong. I have pustules, and they told me to use a washcloth to "exfoliate" every morning and I showed concern because that is basically just like popping a pustule which can result in hyperpigmentation and scarring and they assured me this wouldn't happen but here I am, with hyperpigmentation and scarring from the regimen. Overall, a lot of people have/will have success with this product. I think the product is good, although it didn't personally work for me, and you should definitely give it a try if you are debating it. I am now using a dermatologist prescribed cleanser that is working wonders for me but I wish Carley's and anyone else who uses them the best of luck!

Pros:

It works really fast and "won't break the bank."

Cons:

I don't think there are any cons, but remember to use the wash cloth everyday

I've been going to the dermatologist for 7yrs...sometimes I'd spend 80 a month on prescriptions and that was with really good insurance. I was fed up with constantly going back because the products would quit working in about 2 months. One of my friend's sisters told me about Carley's and when I used it for the first time I could instantly tell a diff and now I'm addicted. I LOVE their stuff! My husband used to refuse to use anything on his face and right before our wedding I made him use it and now he uses it everyday too.

Pros:

Product is simple and convenient to use, does not irritate the skin, and keeps skin clear. Great customer service. I've been using the product since 2005.

Cons:

None.

Very highly recommended. You won't be disappointed. Also, there are lots of great products available to complement your skin care - like lotions and lip balms. Give it a try!

Pros:

The stuff in the tube has a fresh, clean smell.

Cons:

This does not work.

This made my acne much worse and a lot more persistent.

The instructions are too involved. Use a new washcloth for every application? Really?

The soap smells fatty and feels greasy; a "natural" scent is one thing, but the putrid odor of freshly-boiled tallow is quite another.

A little about my skin: I am a male with oily, sensitive skin, and I rarely get acne worse than whiteheads and blackheads. However, this stuff (I used the extra-strengtha formula) exacerbated my acne problem: within days, it gave me big bumps deep underneath my skin, red patches, and a lot more whiteheads than I was used to. I stuck to the instructions religiously and had faith in it, but sadly, it never worked for me. I used it for a little over three months before tossing it in the garbage and going to a dermatologist to seek a real treatment. In my experience, these "home remedies" or "homemade" products tend not to have been commercialized for a reason: they don't work. For anyone interested, I ditched this stuff in favor of prescription Benzaclin, which has done wonders for my skin. Luckily, Mylan now offers a $10 generic version. If someone had the same problems I did with Carley's, go to a doctor/dermatologist and ask about Benzaclin.

Pros:

I've been using the product for almost a month and I'm very pleased with the results. I'm an African American woman and although the results weren't immediate, I know that patience is the key. For the past week, I have had a clear face and no pimples! I was used to seeing pimples appear everyday. The cystic acne that I used to have on my chin is non existent. I never thought I would be able to use a product with BP since I'm allergic. I was a skeptic but now a believer.

Cons:

none.

Give it a try it's worth it and htere is a money back guarantee which prompted me to buy the product. Overall it works. Just be patient and follow the directions completely.

It works for more than just adult acne with regular use...it makes my skin feel great.
I'm a big fan of your soap too so, getting a bar every time I order makes me a happy camper : )

Cons:

I don't have any negatives to report

I like the new bottle.

Pros:

This product is the only thing that works for me, and it works great. It lasts a long time. one bottle lasts maybe 4 months.

I used to live with painfull, horrible, acne. And I mean painful. I would get big cyst type acne. I tried all types of products. Most of the time these products made my acne worse. I even went to a dermatologist, and the prescription stuff made my acne worse. There was obviously something more going on. On a whim I tried Clear and Smooth. I saw an immediate improvement. Most stuff says you have to wait so many weeks. Well with Clear and Smooth, it starts working right now! What really impressed me though was the care and personal attention I received from Steve Willis. I was still getting a little acne, even using this product. I emailed the folks at Clear and Smooth to ask for some guidance. Steve emailed me links and gave me further insights into what might be going on. It turns out I have an allergy to animal products. Now I've switched out all my shampoo, soap, lotion, etc. to vegan products. My skin has never looked better! Thanks so much Steve.

Pros:

Great product. When I moved from the UK to Canada 5 years ago my skin changed dramatically. I got acne for the first time in my life, and I was miserable. Carleys clears it up! Their moisturisers and soap are great too!

Cons:

No cons that I can think of other than having to wait for it to arrive, but considering it comes all the way from Florida it's always very timely.

My face is clear. People always tell me I have great skin. This stuff works.
