Cons:

Too harsh, broke me out like crazy

I bought this due to all the positive reviews on here. Apparently it works great for a lot of people but definitely not for me. I used this for 9 weeks, yes over 2 months and my skin just got worse and worse and worse the longer I used it. It broke me out in TONS of tiny little pimples all over my face and about 5 weeks in I started to get lots of big tender, puss filled zits too, my face was a absolute nightmare. I didn't want to go anywhere or do anything, I was so embarrassed and self conscious. I had myself believing this was the "purging phase" and mine was just taking longer because I used BP and AHA prior to using this. But after 9 week of hell I threw in the towel. I have been back on the regimen for almost 2 weeks now and my skin already has cleared up quite a bit. It was stupid of me to ever go off the regimen but this stuff just seemed like a miracle product because of all the great reviews and I liked the idea of just washing and using a moisturizer (no BP gel to apply then wait for it to dry and so on) this just seemed more simple and faster. Getting this stuff was a HUGE MISTAKE, I'm still paying for it. I think this was just WAY to harsh on my skin. My skin was used to being treated super gently from the regimen then went to scrubbing with a harsh scrub then scrubbing it with a wash cloth right after. I followed the directions exactly for the 9 weeks. This stuff was a HUGE disappointment BEWARE!

Pros:

Never had acne until the age of 31. Tried EVERYTHING! I lost all hope when even the acne system you see on TV made my face worse. I was searching for solutions on ebay and came across this. It's not a quick fix. I didn't see results for 6 weeks. But using it as directed and also using the natural soap and moisturizers they offer eventually brought me clearer skin. I'm also seeing improvement in my sun damaged skin.

Cons:

Barely any.

Excellent product for a low price. No funky ingredients or medicinal smells. No burning toners to use. No frills, excess fanfare, or false promises - they stand behind their product and use it themselves. Can be drying to sensitive skin, but what acne product isn't? Use a good moisturizer like the ones made by Carley's (I use the daytime and midnight moisturizer) and you can't go wrong. I could take up pages listing what I've tried on my picky adult acne. Bottom line is, not everything works for everyone, but I'd suggest this product to anybody.

Pros:

All natural

None

I still get a few pimples here and there but they are not cystic like before and this really clears them up faster then anything I've ever tried before. These products are great and a great deal as well.

Pros:

controls acne, smooths skin, isn't harsh on skin, a little goes a long way!

Cons:

The price for one bottle might seem at first to be pretty high compared to store bought products, but that one bottle will last for many months! So no real cons that I've found!

I've used Carley's Clear & Smooth Skin Treatment for a couple years now. Every time I've stopped using it or have run out, I regret it- because it really works! I do still get occasional zits here and there, but usually just around that certain time of month. It leaves my skin really smooth, and doesn't dry it out or sting like other, acid-based products. I also use their day & nighttime moisturizers for acne prone skin, which work amazing on my combination skin- its not heavy or oily, and it takes care of dry and flakey skin. Bottom line- I'm a real person (not a robot or paid by the company), I was tired of having acne, so I use this stuff, and it works pretty well for me! I definitely recommend giving it a try.

Pros:

Everything about this product is a pro, I've tried many many products, but this is the only one that works, I've been using it for almost a year, and the great thing is it's inexpensive. I tell everyone about it.

Cons:

I think you just have to use their moisturizer, I like the midnight moisturizer, this prevents your face from getting a bit dry.

Definitely recommend this, I had given up, but I thought what the heck I'll try one more product. I love it.

Pros:

I've been using this product for 8 years and I love it!! Affordable, smells good, and it WORKS!!

Cons:

None.

I had tried Proactiv, Murad, and numerous OTC products and none of them worked on my moderate adult acne until I found this product. I have super sensitive skin and can't use products with salycilic acid (Murad). This product started working for me within the first week (although it does take longer for some people). I've referred numerous people of all ages to this product and it's worked for them as well (so I'm not just a fluke!). I still get a random spot once a month (go figure), but I no longer have acne. I can't say enough about this product, it has saved my skin! Plus, it's affordable...a bottle usually lasts me 3 to 4 months. And it smells nice too!! Give it a shot...it works!!

Pros:

The product is wonderful. I was so tired of putting chemicals on my skin that would help the acne a bit, but cause my skin to get dry and flake up. This is not the case with Carley's product. I have tried AcneFree, but this product is far superior.

Cons:

There are really no cons- so here is more pros. Perhaps the best part of this treatment is how it makes your skin feel during and after treatment. It truely feels like I'm cleaning my skin, and I feel dirty when I don't use it.

If you have any trouble with dry skin or want something that actually works to clear acne- get this. It works. I am not 100 percent clear, but my skin looks so healthy. I was sooo tired of dealing with products that just did nothing. The other pro is that the bottle is huge. You pay a bit for it, but it lasts for awhile. If you follow the directions (heck even if you don't) I'm pretty positive you will love what you see. Don't waste any more money- get this and get clear. (Btw I bought it on Ebay)

Love, love, love this stuff!!

Cons:

I started to have acne after my hysterectomy, my dermatologist wanted to put me on Accutane, I read the pros and cons about Accutane and decided to take a different route! That is when I found Carley's ... I have used it for over a year and LOVE it ... I will be a faithful customer from here on out ... this is my 3rd order!!
