Pros:

Makes my skin soft and smooth with no more breakouts.

Cons:

None that I can find.

I had only mild acne mostly on my chin which has completely disappeared since using Carley's soap and moisterizers. The biggest surprise for me has been that the soap has cured an excema rash that I couldn't get rid of with prescription medication from my dermatologist. If I stop using the soap, the excema comes back, so I will not be running out of Carley's soap again. Great products, I'm even giving them for Christmas gifts this year!

Pros:

Inexpensive, very easy to use, works on face and body acne.

Cons:

wash is slightly runny.

I am 40 year old adult acne sufferer. I have had adult acne for 8 years and my face has not been completely clear in all that time. I have tried everything from proactive to retin-A, Glytone, clearasil, neutrogena, etc. Carly's really works for me and the soap is great. I also began using a knock off clarisonic brush with the soap after the treatment and that really works the blackheads up on chin and nose.

Pros:

It works for me with adult acne and for my kids with teen acne. It is easy to use and affordable. Love the free samples too.

Ever since I had acne as a teen-ager I have had to wear heavy make-up re-applied several times per day to try to hide the lumps and bumps of on-going adult acne continuing into my 40's. What a difference the scrub (and natural soap) have made for my skin. If I do not use them, I start to break-out. Thankful to have the product for my kids so they do not have to live with acne and can have "clear and smooth" skin.

Pros:

Price-very reasonable
Lasts almosts 3 months for me.
Works better than anything I have ever used.
Not harsh

Cons:

NONE

This is my third post to acne.org for Carleys and my opinion has not changed whatsoever. I am a female construction worker and my skin takes a beating. From dirt/sweat buildup to excessive sun exposure and Carley's handles them all. I am an older female (50 yo) and I regularly developed acne cysts. After using many other products unsuccessfully I found Carleys and no more cysts, large pores or excessive dryness. Carleys is the best and I will 'NEVER' change from using this product to another.

Pros:

The closest thing to a cure that i've used. I'm 34 and have had acne since i was a teen. I have tried every OTC medicine. Nothing compares to this.

Cons:

None, just be sure to use white towels when drying off or they will discolor

Buy this product. I took about 3 weeks before it started to work. But I was using another product and it does state that it cn take that long to work if yu have been using other products.

Pros:

I love this! It makes my skin feel great. It does not dry it out like most others out there. It works on body acne just as well and not as complicated as other products. Over the last week my acne has stopped forming and is already starting to go away!

Cons:

Smells Odd, but you get used to it.

This is great. I have used for long periods in the past and always have great results. The bottle will easily last for a couple of months even when using on your body. Definitely worth the cost!

Pros:

Leaves skin feeling very smooth. I feel that the texture of my skin has improved and that my pores seem tighter. It is keeping my facial acne to a minimum. I am using it on the backs of my arms and thighs to minimize all the tiny bumps and it is working exceptionally well for that.

Cons:

Time consuming when doing arms and legs as well as face. Worth it in my opinion.

I have tried other products, both over the counter and Proactive. I feel this is working as well or better than the Proactive and is much more cost efficient. More product for the price. I would not hesitate to recommend this product to any one and in fact have just reordered for myself and got some for my daughter to try.

Pros:

Skin feels great!
Acne free!
Lasts a long time!

Cons:

None

I have been using Carley's products for 2 years now, and love them! I had moderate adult acne, with random bouts of cystic acne around my chin and jawline. Nothing, and I mean nothing, ever helped me! I started using Carley's, and after just 3 days, was already noticing a difference! I now have clear skin, and have NO more bouts of cystic acne. I love the soap! I use it on my entire body. It is great for shaving your legs! I used to get little, sore, red bumpies after shaving my thighs, but no longer have that problem. My husband uses it to help control his oily skin, and my teenage daughter has begun using the Carley's products for her acne, and has seen a tremendous difference! I give them an A+++! Love them!

Pros:

affordable, high quality ingredients, generously sized products, works for me, feels nice on skin, improves complection, lot's of great products to choose from.

Cons:

It can be a bit of a hassle using the washcloth and soap, shorter shelf life than most products (buy only what you can use)

I noticed a lot of negative reviews on here, so I thought I'd give my two cents. Like many others, I've used ProActive, Neutrogena, Clean and Clear, Murad, etc. I was using Murad for a while, and it seemed to work great for me up until about a year of use, and then suddenly I was getting cystic nodules every day, about 1 or 2 a day per zone on my face. I changed my diet, and I still had pretty bad acne. I then stopped using Murad, and a lot of my acne ceased, but I had a lot of scarring and about 10 pimples or so on any given day. My skin responded well to aspirin and honey masks, so I thought that maybe a more natural approach was better for my skin. I found Clear and Smooth while I was looking for a night time moisturizer suited for acne skin, and they came up on eBay. The reviews were ravingly good, and I was skeptical to use a cleanser that had benzoyl peroxide in it, considering that in the past it would irritate my my skin and I'd get eczema breakouts (not good looking at all). I bit the bullet, because as the cliche goes "You only have your acne to lose!" The scrub felt fantastic on my face, and I scrubbed gently for 30 seconds or so. No irritation or dryness when I washed it off, and then I proceeded to use the soap with a clean wash cloth to get off any traces of benzoyl peroxide. My face was literally squeaky clean, squeaking when I ran my fingers across it. I then used the night time moisturizer, which also felt very luxurious, and my skin absorbed all of it very well. I was shocked. So it's been about a week, and right now I have mostly scars that are clearing up, and maybe 2 or 3 active pimples. It has been non irritating, and even my mom complimented me on my skin, and she's always been a harsh critic. Will it work for you? I'm not sure, but there's no time limit on their money back guarantee, and their customer service is great. I also stopped using Murad for about a week and kept up with a good diet, which also he

Pros:

It controls my acne very well. It does not burn like so many other chemicals. Its natural no fillers. directions are easy to understand.

Cons:

You cannot just pick up in a store. You do have to order online, if that is considered a con. Anyone online that is reading this might as well purchase online & not look for a retail store.

I been using this product close to 10yrs. You have to give this product time to work & have to follow the directions! You cannot decide that you are going to make up your own formula of using it then complain that it does not work. When I first started using the product my actual acne got worse WAY WORSE!! but I read the story behind the product on the website it takes hours also, there is so much information about these products. I really started to take notice after about 2 1/2 - 3 months my acne was less on my face, back side of my arms, my shoulders, lower & upper back. The pimples went from looking like large white heads to small red spots. It took time! I had to learn to be patient & not pinch, squeeze or pop my pimples/acne. I just wanted to get rid of them. My acne was painful too not just ugly. I created some of my own scarring & damaged my skin because I use to pinch to get rid of the ugly white heads. I had pimples since middle school into adult life. I have used prescriptions pill & liquid & my good ole enemy acne statin thats of course just my opinion. I say try anything to see if it works before you go bad mouthing it. Once in a great while I flare up, I usually think its the food I eat that affects me more. There are so many allergies, you have to look at the large scope not just carleys clear & smooth products. Maybe a little change of food intake I dont like to call it a diet just maybe eat healthier than what you may be doing. If you eat healthy already maybe its the exercise you might need more of. For me I did a little bit more of the exercise, ate a bit healthy slowed down on fast food a little bit. I made sure my hair gel & hair spray was not landing all over my face as much. I also used products for people with allergies no perfume in my hair products. There are things you can do to make a good change in your life & gain the confidence that you are looking for. This product worked for me I hope you give it a chance & it works for you.
