Carley's : Clear and Smooth Skin Treatment

Be careful. If this product worsens your skin, STOP IMMEDIATELY. Don't wait until you are scarred.

I thought maybe I'd try it on my back too since I have some body acne that isn't too bad, but NO i got freaking painful CYSTS on my BACK, ARGHHHH after I stopped using this they went away after a while. DO NOT USE THIS SCAM PRODUCT, soaps are bad bad bad bad. Completely disgusted.

My skin is extremely sensitive and this was much too harsh. I'm just hoping for my skin to go back to before I used it

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!

Don't buy this product it sucks just makes your skin work and causes acne all the positive reviews are fake

It may work for some but I cannot use a soap-based system or anything with heavy/moderate oils in them. I should have stopped when it first started breaking me out but continued thinking it would get better. A short amount of purging with new BP or salicylic acid products is to be expected (especially those under-the-skin bumps that are brought to the surface) but I got acne in many places where I didn't have it before. A light case of acne went moderate with cystic acne along the jaw and continued even after I stopped. It's been 2 months and I'm still dealing with the aftermath - my self esteem took a huge dive. Be careful with this product! I've done a lot of research on Paula's Choice website about acne and Carley's has a lot of the ingredients you should avoid. I feel like it "ruined" my face - but hopefully with time and a little TLC, it will improve. Am trying some of Paula's products. So far so good.

I used this product for about 2 months because I bought into all of the hype and reviews. I can now honestly say that this has been one of the biggest mistakes of my life. Not only did it give me the worst break out of my entire life, even now that I have stopped using this product, my skin is still breaking out terribly. In retrospect I know I should have stopped using this as soon as it started breaking me out but I was hoping it was just my skin purging. I finally came to my senses and quit using this, but by then the damage was done. I will have scars from using this product for a long time.

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.

Received this product as a sample from Carley's when I ordered their Mineral foundation. Decided to give it a shot, why not. 3 days only of use and it broke me out in places where my skin tends to keep clear, especially on my forehead. Tiny, multiple bumps on my forehead, haven't gotten those since my High school years. Then again, I have extremely sensitive skin; anything that smells strongly and has a harsh scrub to it should really not end up on my skin, hence, never using this again.

I'm shocked this stuff has so many positive reviews. Well I was sucked in by them and used Carlys for a little over 2 months and my skin broke out worse then it ever has in my life!! I followed the directions exactly using the washcloths and my skin just got worse and worse and worse the longer I used it!! I kept using it hoping my skin would turn around and it would clear up as they say it takes a while but that never happened. I went back on Dan's regimen and my skin is clear again! The only reason I went off of it was because the idea of just using one product in the shower and that's it was appealing to me. The time saving and simplicity of it drew me in. HUGE MISTAKE!! My skin is clear but I have acne scars from how bad I broke out while on Carleys.
