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!!!

Pros:

Inexpensive
Fast shipping

Cons:

Soap and cleanser were too harsh and made my acne so much worse

I am 35 years old female who have been suffering from acne since 12 years old. My acne got really bad when I was in my early 20's and even went on Accutane after trying so many products, antibotics, gels.. you name it! Although my acne calmed down as I got older, I always had a few pimples on my face, only around my mouth. I used to use Dan's BP for a few years, but it stopped working. So after seeing great reviews on Carley's, I gave it a try. I completely regret about the decision I made. This product did not clear my acne at all but made it so much worse. I started noticing some bumps on my chin and above my lips after a few weeks, and they ended up becoming huge painful cysts! I had more than 10 large red cysts which turned to yellow puffs (yuck!!) There were still more coming out too. I could feel my pore were clogged and skin was getting soooo dry! Everytime I wash my face with their soap and cleanser, I could see my skin was almost peeling and completely dried up like sand. Although the company told me to be patient, (since it's an reaction after going off BP and AHA), I could not risk my skin (my face!!) any more. So I completely stopped using it. There were some nights I could not sleep because my face was so itchy and also in pain... You acne may get worse before getting better, but come on, this is not normal. I got so depressed using this product... Some days I did not even leave the house because of the way I looked. In my opinion, this product ruined my skin. It's way too harsh and too irritaing for me. Carley may work for some people, but I learned that it doesn't for me!!! Whoever wants to give it a try, use it with caution please.

Pros:

Best acne treatment I have used. I was on the Acne.org regimen before and it was just not working well with me. But Clean & Smooth has been a big help, I've used for about 5 or so months I think, and in the next couple months I expect my face to be pretty healthy thanks to this product.

Cons:

Soap drys my face out after use, but not any severe drying. My face becomes comfortable after a few hours after washing though. Go through wash rags like crazy but no big deal.

I've came to the conclusion that this whole acne thing is a very psychological thing and also some kind of a curse from tedious habits. Like just living an unhealthy life-style. Not taking care of yourself. Eating pop-tarts, drinking coke, eating pizza, and all that sh*t. Not exercising, just sitting on your ass doing nothing. Caring to much, looking in the mirror all the damn time. Picking your face, just making things look terribly worse. This is pretty much all me. And I've currently made a great change in that lifestyle, drinking water, being active, eating good things, and overall just being care-free. Say I break out, "Okay, big deal, in a week your face will be fine." I don't look in every reflection I pass anymore. I don't pick my skin. And by not doing this along with the use of Clear and Smooth treatment, things are looking good right now and I urge everyone to also make a drastic change in their lifestyle towards how they treat their body. I've sought out a very naturalistic way of living and taking care of myself and as much as it is good for your physical health, I think goes the same for your overall mental health and I don't know how to say it but it's like there's a point where some man says "Alright, you've learned not to care, it's about f**king time, I'll give you a break now." and your face looks healthy. Just be good to your body, it'll be good to you. And just stop caring. Couple years, everything's going to be just dandy.

Pros:

it absolutely works!
I use the extra strength teen formula also and it makes your skin so smooth and removes build up.

Cons:

None

very inexpensive and alot of bang for the buck! If you have body acne definitely get this stuff it works great for the upper back area. my teen uses it as well its really a life saver. I always had some kind of acne i would every now and then get some cystic acne on my chin or chhek since using this that has never occured. As soon as i ran out once i had the cystic acne back on my chin. this stuff works i have been using it for about 2 years now amazing!

Pros:

Really works (when you give it time to)! Doesn't dry my skin out. Smells great! Natural, high quality ingredients. Great customer service! Lots of free samples! Flat rate shipping no matter how much you order! Satisfaction Guarantee with no time limit! Great return policy! All Carley's products (that I've tried) are wonderful!

Cons:

None!

I'm in love with all of Carley's products! I've been using the Smooth and Clear scrub for 2 months now, along with their Midnight moisture for acne prone skin and their Daytime moisture for acne prone skin. As a result, my skin looks and feels the best it has in years!! That's the truth!! Before Carley's I tried it all, antibiotics, Retin A, apple cider vinegar (which worked better than antibiotics or Retin A). I will be using Carley's products forever now, I am extremely pleased with the results. You have to know though, that you need to be consistent with use to acheive long term results. I do still get a few pimples from hormones, but they're much more manageable than before. I am so happy that I trusted all these reviews and gave it a try! I recommend you do the same! They have a no questions asked return policy too, so you don't have anything to lose. If you do try Carley's, I hope it works for you! God Bless! =)

Pros:

No harsh chemicals, lasts a long time - many ounces, easy to use, great samples too, excellent product. Not greasy, not drying, just right.

Cons:

Shipping is $8 no matter what. It's really great when you're buying a lot, but when you're only reordering one item, it's a little high.

This really works for me. I got my sister and mother hooked. We love the natural soap. For as much as I used to spend on different soaps and scrubs and masks and spot treatments, etc., Carley's does it all... and for a fraction of the price... You can't go wrong with all natural. I've been using Carley's for a while now and will continue to do so.

Pros:

Everything. Great skin. If you want great skin, use this product it will not fail!!

Cons:

There are none.

I've been using these products for years. I have been an acne sufferer for years. Nothing working. I took so many antibiotics, tried everything out there, until one day my face literally cracked. I looked in the mirror & got so upset about what i saw. I chanced my arm, and looked on ebay and just typed acne into the search engine. Carley's was one of the first products to show up. I read the entire page. I figured hey there's 17000+ positive reviews, it wasn't expensive, so why not try it. when i used it for the first time, i felt like i had washed my face for the first time. Within a week my skin was alot clearer. I'm 28 now & still get the odd pimple, but i have tried other products and nothing helps my skin like carleys. The bottom line is if you suffer from cystic acne & want to help your skin, buy this product. It's not a cure, but it's damn close!
