Pros:

I have been buying the Kick *ss for my daughter who is 17 for the past three years,and it has been Great.

Cons:

She has had NO large break outs since she has been on this and it continues to work for her Great.

It has worked for my teenage daughter for three years now and she is a softball player and in the dirt and alot of sweat all the time. We had tryed other types of treaments that cost a lot more and this does the job just as well if not better. THANK YOU CARLEY

Pros:

Quick working, doesn't dry out skin, leaves skin smooth, gets rid of acne. Does everything it promises.

Cons:

Thinking hard to find any..I guess- don't get the soap in your mouth or up your noise at all, really stings :(

Best acne product ever. I have tried clearasil 10% benzol peroxide, the walmart equate benzol peroxide - since I will still getting 'some' acne I moved to 'Clear Pores'. That worked okay but I was still getting even more acne, so I moved to 'Exposed Skincare'. The exposed skincare I got less acne but it was 60$ per shipment. With this when I used it, it worked immediately. I still got a bit of acne for the first week, but WAY less than when I was using any of those other products. I've been using for 2 weeks now and I'm acne free, now just have to wait for a few of my acne scares to go away. What you will get with this is 2 things: 1) Bar of soap - it's part of the treatment, not just regular soap. 2) Acne Scrub stuff I ran out of the bar of soap after 2 weeks, I bought 5 more because they're so awesome :P -- This has been way better than I expected. I thought this product looked kinda lame because it wasn't by a huge company and looked like it was made ou

Pros:

amazing customer service, makes your skin feel extremely clean and smooth after treatment

Cons:

washcloth can be very irritating at times

i used this for 6 weeks, and unfortunately the product didn't work great for me. ladies, stay away from ortho tri-cyclen LO (the normal kind is fine) ... it turned my mild acne to severe. it's terrible. carley's has the best, best, best service (i asked so many questions and they answered every single one of them) and the product does work, just probably more for others. the idea behind the product is a smart one (leaving benzoyl peroxide for just 30 seconds to disorient the bacteria without driving them down deeper into the pores as well as the daily exfoliation) and there are just so many good ingredients in it that i'm going to give it 2 more weeks before i make my decision. i use the treatment, the soap (AMAZING), daytime and nighttime moisturizer by the way.

Nov-18-2016 So I have been using this for a week now. It has so far worked for me. My acne is healing a lot faster. I bought the treatment and the day moisturizer. The moisturizer is hands down the best one I have ever used. Doesn't get you too oily or gets you dry. So when I first used Carley's my face did feel tight for a couple of days but I read reviews that it was normal. It did get better tho so I wouldn't worry about it. Use this product word for word how it tells you. No joke son. Anyways prior to this I was using the regimen. Worked well but it never got rid of my acne. So I decided to give this a shot. Also the spot treatment they have works pretty good. I've been using that at night than the midnight moisturizer. When you order from Carley's they give you small samples of what they have 😎 Plus they're willing to do refunds no matter what so you got nothing to lose if it doesn't work out for you. Their soap is also pretty good it does dry me out but the day moisturizer comes through so 😁 No flakiness. *Update* 12-20-16 So it's been a month since I started using Carley's. Sh*t has worked pretty well for me. I ifhly recommend it. Their tea tree spot treatment is pretty f**kin good, better than their tamanu cream. Their day and midnight moisturizer do the job as well. My skin isn't oily or flaky anymore. I still have a couple of white heads and a just a few pimples hardly noticeable before I'm practically clean😎😏 anyways hope this helps. I would also use their tea tree cleanser just becuz the tea tree spot treatment is so damn good. I haven't used it myself but I do have a sample of it will be using that in a couple of weeks. Also When I had a huge breakout on my chin and throughout my jawline I was eating eggs everyday didn't think that was the problem until I stopped. I looked it up if eggs would cause you to break out but apparently it said it wouldn't but it'll make your acne worse ðŸ¤" So hopefully y'all who eat eggs and still got acne this helps.

So update like I posted before Carley's did help but something triggered my acne again and I broke out, I got more whiteheads through out my jawline and I started to breakout on my forehead which I never did before. My acne on my chin and my jawline got worse. Carley's was just able to sustain it not make it better so I started using organic aloe Vera gel(came in a bottle) I used it after I showered and in the morning, after each time I washed my face. It did help the inflammation go down and with some scarring. It did dry out my skin but I just used the midnight moisturizer. Also I recommend the midnight moisturizer than the day moisturizer from Carley's after using it more, the midnight moisturizer felt a lot better. Now I use it day and night. Anyways after that I started reading about apple cider vinegar. It has helped so much. I posted a another review about it in that page. So feel free to read it. I would try and use acv first before you invest into Carley's since it is so much cheaper.

Pros:

Really worked for me! Loved the feeling of it (gentle but cleanses amazingly) cleared up my skin!

Cons:

None.

I have been using the Clear and Smooth Acne Treatment (with the natural soap bar)for nearly 6 months now and have seen really amazing results! I fell pregnant 4 months ago and didn't even get terrible break outs (only the random few here and there but that has even cleared up now) I have been trying so many different things for so many years and finally found something that works and that I love to use!

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.
