Pros:

Very affordable and lasts much longer than popular acne treatments. You get 4x the amount for your dollar.

Cons:

None. I will say that for the users who are breaking out more in the beginning, the same did happen to me, and I fixed that by using a 2 1/2% benzol peroxide treatment before their moisturizer. Worked Perfectly!

The products are natural without all the synthetic chemicals! My face has NEVER been better. This summer was the first time that I was able to swim in the pool without worrying that my makeup would wash off and reveal my acne! I have used it for over a year now and would never be without it. I used to rely on my mineral makeup for that healthy glow, and now after using this....I have it naturally! The customer service is second to none and the money back guarantee leaves you with nothing to lose! Shipping is lightning fast and you get a ton of free samples with every order! Thank You Steve, for bringing these wonderful products, and for giving me my life back! (Acne sufferer for 19 years and finally clear!)

Pros:

Clears up my skin in an amazing way. And it's affordable. The time that I did stop using it, you could tell within a week because I started breaking out again. Great consistency, scent & very complimentary with the other Carley's products. LOVE it!

Cons:

None whatsoever.

I've been using this product for several years. I am so glad that I ran across it on ebay...it was a total blessing. I'm in my mid-30's, and for some reason still have breakouts...how annoying. But anyway, this stuff really works great. I also absolutely loooove the soap that comes with it. I buy that separately, along with the day creme & night creme, which I also cannot live without, by the way. And you can bet that I will absolutely buy this product for my step-son (who just turned 15) when he starts to need it. I wish I had this product available when I was a teenager!! It would have made high school a lot more bearable! Thanks for a GREAT product!!!!!!

Pros:

It feels good, easy to use, very economical, does not promote excessive dryness, and helps heal faster than anything I have tried before.

Cons:

It does make the skin break-out more at first, but it pulls out all the impurities in the skin. Patience is the key to using this product.

I had used Pro-active for years on mild acne, until adult-onset acne hit (you the know the kind with huge cyst-like craters). I went to a dermatologist, but the only thing that help was to take a low-dose antibiotic constantly. Then I found Carl's after searching the net (what seemed like forever). I knew I had nothing to lose with only a $20 investment. I have been using it now for 7 months and I am seeing great results. I had to fight the break-outs since the product was pulling out the impurities, but it is worth it. I saw immediate changes in the form of my pimples, which gave me hope. Persistence and patience are the keys for this product to work on stubborn adult acne.

Pros:

Previously I had moderate acne with combination oily/dry skin. I would estimate I have 4 whiteheads per month now (amazing) typically along my hairline that peak after heavy workout weeks. NONE on my chin, nose, or cheeks, which used to be problem areas.

Cons:

The directed regimen may dry your skin in colder climates, though I have seen no ill effects from making up my own regimen.

After using for 2 years after failing every other product I have tried, including Accutane (twice, relapsed within a year each time), ProActiv, and Acne.org regimen. I have waited to review this product after experiencing temporary success with other products. I am a physician (radiologist, not a dermatologist) and can say with a high degree of confidence this is a superior product. I use the natural soap that included with the BP wash sparingly (less than daily), with a generous amount of the BP wash twice daily in the shower. I use the BP wash in the shower and after with a clean wash cloth with warm water to gently (sometimes not so gently) to exfoliate (rub) off skin. I know this is anathema with the acne.org regimen. I follow it with a generous application (or 2 or 3; I live in Boston) of their Midnight Moisturizer for Acne Prone Skin twice daily. My skin loves the moisturizer as well. No grease (no more blotting my face) and now I have an even complexion.

Pros:

works if used correctly, long term solution, makes skin feel great and clean, no acne!

Cons:

works better if used with purified water (at least for my skin), MUST follow directions or the product doesn't work like it should

this product is amazing first of all. I will never go back to using the array of bad products for my face - I have used them all and nothing compares to this product. The customer service is amazing and they will answer all emails fast and effectively. It took me about a month of using it to realize that I was not doing an effective job.. (follow directions precisely!) Once I changed what I was doing AND started using purified water my face has taken a drastic turn for the better! While it's not 100% clear after 3 months it is on its way (I was using bad products for over 5 years so I understand it takes time to undo the damage I did). Love all their moisturizers and foundation too. Highly recommend to all - I have struggled for years trying to find a long term solution for my acne and this is it!

Pros:

Huge amount of product for the price, shipping is fast, free bar of soap, it WORKS!! Free samples usually included too, that's a plus.

Cons:

Can't really think of a con

For me, the Kick Ass cleanser works. I thought I no longer needed it and quit using it after using it consistently for over a year. Slowly but surely I started getting a breakout here and there. I pulled my Carley's back out and started using it again. My skin has already started clearing up again. This product will always be a staple for me. I learned my lesson.

Pros:

Knowing that when you wake up, you won't have a spot on your face! It took about 2 weeks for it to kick in and I followed every step verbatim but it's well worth the wait. Once again like most reviews, I have tried everything out there..over the counter scrubs and about 8 other products in store and nothing compares at all. I would get a greasy feel from other scrubs about 4 hours after my wash, with Carley's, I feel fresh all day and I don't get that "shine" that most products display.

Cons:

Absolutely nothing. Just be sure to follow the instructions and there will be no problem. It takes 5 minutes to complete the process thoroughly but it's completely worth it.

This is a product I will continue to purchase throughout my life as I have had great success early on. The natural soap is great to use right before bed in a sink without the wash cloth. I have a new found confidence that I really didn't know I could get until I tried this product. Excellent work Steve and I am proud to be a recipient of Carley's! I hope this review is as helpful as the product!

Pros:

This is an excellent product. It healed my lifelong acne and I no longer need to use the skin treatment. I now use Carley's moisturizing line and soaps. My teenage sons are using the acne treatment now. No animal products - very nice plus!

Cons:

The packaging is not fancy.

This is a rare product that actually works exactly the way it is advertised.

Pros:

I love this product! I'm 50 years old and decided to try going without it for a couple months. Big mistake that I am paying for now. After starting up again, my face feels better already.

Cons:

Wasn't careful enough with some towels, and it did take the color out.

I will use this product forever!!!
