Pros:

I like this product because it cleans my skin very very well. It also makes it feel very smooth and not shiny.

Cons:

I have used Carley's Clear and Smooth and previously Kick A** for over a year now and I still get acne, but it is not nearly as severe from before I started using Carley's products.

I don't use any other products to wash my face because I feel this is really the only one that works. I like the fact that there aren't chemicals in the face wash because I feel that they can't be good for your skin. After working out, I look forward to using Carley's Clear and Smooth because I know it will clean very well.

I have been ordering the the Industrial Strength formula from you for almost a year now.. and i must say that it has been the only thing that has controlled my hormonal acne that I have tried. When people say that they have spent thousands on skin and face products they are usually being sarcastic, but I actually mean it when I say I HAVE spent thousands on products... you can check my bank statements for proof. I have tried cheap products from the drugstore, I have tried expensive ones from Nordstroms, and Sephora, and [link removed].... but NOTHING has delivered quite like your products have. I will admit it was hard in the beginning, since my face needed time to adjust, but I stuck with it because even though it was still breaking out, it was less than before. Now almost a year later, I rarely if ever get bad breakouts, and usually the blemishes that do pop up, are smaller and not soo red. I have never really received comments on how good my skin looks before, and now that my skin has adjusted to the system, i get a lot of them and mostly from people that are also having acne problems, or even employees at Nordstroms or Sephora as well as my co-workers. I have recommended this product to many people and a few have actually took the leap and tried it and are very happy with it. The only thing I wish was a little different is that I wish I could use the anti-age products. For some reason my face just wants nothing to do with them. I would also like to use the overnight cream for acne prone skin... it too makes my face breakout a bit. But that does not deter my liking this product. I just have to accept that all products are not made for my picky, and insanely sensitive skin. So if you have tried everything and anything that exists for acne problems and or dryness or all around unappealing skin... then try this. You wont regret it. : )

Pros:

Feels Nice, my skin feels smoother after one use.

Cons:

None yet that I know of.

So I ordered this on 4/23 and got it today. I ordered the industrial teen version. It comes with a bar of their natural soap and two small samples of night and day moisturizer for acne prone skin. So far so good, It feels nice and it doesn't smell unpleasant. The soap really cleans your skin and the treatment feels nice. The moisturizer goes on smoothly and makes your skin feel nice and light. It also doesn't look greasy or oily :) I am 15 and have moderately severe acne. I bought this because of all the glowing reviews. I shall be posting weekly how my skin is improving. Well see ya then :)

Pros:

Absolutely cleared up my acne. I thogoughly enjoyed it until I found my allergy.

Cons:

Contains Benzoyld Peroxide and I am allergic to it.

With my moderate acne I was able to take this product out of the regimen and I am still fairly clear. I use the natural soap, daily moisturizer and night moisturizer now. When I start to get any acne I place a small dab of the night moisturizer on (even if not at night) and I am able to keep the acne under control. My skin looks beautiful now. My red marks are nearly gone after a year of their regimen. Thanks Carley's.

I am 23 yo, and male. I have trialed this Carley's treatment on a few separate occasions over the past couple of years. Each time it has nicely cleared me up. It is not like a prescription or an antibiotic (both of which I've used in the past) that artificially clears your skin completely, it seems to work very naturally in creating softer, clearer, and even slightly less oily skin. On my first trial it took about two weeks before I noticed the results and then my skin was pretty much clear from there on out. When I use it I don't "scrub" with it. I gently move it around on my face and rinse it off within a minute. It is just once a day, and in the shower works nicely. You may find that moisturizing is necessary as it does contain BP, so using it at night followed by moisturizer works well. Be consistent, be patient, and you will get results. I am currently trying to wean myself off of it simply because I've been moving towards an even more natural approach of not washing my face regularly and not relying on any particular treatment, in hopes that my skin will learn to somewhat care for itself. The other times I quit Carley's was simply out of unwarranted impatience. My skin would at times get break outs, which I now know were probably the result of my diet and lifestyle (excessive alcohol, smoking, lack of fruits/veggies, lack of sleep, stress etc.), so I would ignorantly stop using Carley's. However, every time my skin has developed difficult acne, for extended periods, I've gone back to Carley's and it has cleared me up. The magic of Carley's is its simplicity and its lack of irritation. 2.5 BP is in the scrub so you can just use it during your shower, you don't have to sit and rub cream into your face afterwards. It does seem to require fairly regular use, but missing one day, if your face does initially get irritated, won't hurt you. I am always very careful and gentle with it, and it has always been effective and c

Pros:

WORKS! give it time and hopefully it will work for you too. Easy to use, cheap, and quality ingredients, not full of harsh chemicals. Love the moisterizing cream!

Cons:

cleanser can bleach fabrics like many acne products, kind of a pain in the butt routine when you are feeling lazy, bar soap dried my skin out a little at first.

I have been suffering from moderately severe cystic acne for the last 10 yrs without any really successful treatments. I went to a new derm in 12/09 and he made me feel the worst anyone ever has about my skin. Part of the problem was he said the only hope I had was accutane. I was determined to prove him wrong and stumbled on Carley's in a search, with nothing to lose I ordered it. It help clear up my skin some within the 1st few weeks but not amazingly. I figured I would use up what I had bought and move on. After about 3 months I am mostly clear! I still have a few breakouts but not the painful cystic ones and not enough to change products again. I'm finally happy with my skin!

i have severe acne and very serious. Been in a lot of product but finally stopped with this product. At first, I was scared as there is some rashes appear after I start using. But soon it cleared. I have been using 3 month and acne coming in and out. Nowadays the acne still appear but not severe. It is much lesser than previous years. My skin look more better. There was some time I had stopped a few days and my acne breakout.It look ugly and cause me weeks to recover. So I need to be very hardworking using it. I am reordering a new batch as it going to finish very soon. But I believe in this product. It make the skin better if you use them everyday.
