Pros:

Idea sounds legit and seems like a cool idea that it's all natural and whatnot

Cons:

I had pretty bad acne before starting, but this just made it 10x worse.

I can't decide whether I think this whole product/website is a scam or not. I've used some of their other products which i did like. But notice how their are either COMPLETELY positive reviews on here, or terrible reviews. The positive ones mainly have no cons, which is just unrealistic. Something to think about before purchasing..

Pros:

exfoliator

Cons:

everything else..

First of all - after I purchased this product, my account information was hacked from their own site and had $655 worth of charges! It was a NIGHTMARE! They sent an e-mail out saying their site had been hacked and said they were going to put an extra layer of security.. BE CAREFUL! Second - I tried and tried this product. I followed the directions correctly. I just used what they suggested. I have bumps/blackheads/whiteheads and only got cystic or hurtful acne once or twice a month with 2-4 here and there. BUT - the second I started using this I got a ton of HURTFUL cystic acne EVERYWHERE. It was AWFUL! Another nightmare. I could not believe it! I was so horrified. I AM STILL RECOVERING FROM THIS. I really had hope this would work. Going to try the acne.org regimen now!

Pros:

Natural

Cons:

Gritty, irritates skin, weird smell, oily

I would not recommend Carly's to anyone with more than mild acne. I have moderately severe acne and it did absolutely nothing to help.. In fact, the face wash was super gritty and it made my face red and irritated. The soap is oily and makes my face feel awful, also. I won't say that this product is a "scam" like others have said.. I think it probably works for those who have mild cosmetic acne. For people with more severe/hormonal acne, this will do nothing, just as most topical regimines do nothing. More severe acne must be treated internally.I am going back on birth control pills.. those are the only thing that work for me.

Pros:

Good for removing oil from my hands after working on my car.

Cons:

Extremely harsh, broke me out ridiculously, it's been two months and I still havent recovered from the 2 weeks of using this product.

DON'T USE IT UNLESS YOU'RE A MECHANIC AND NEED SOMETHING TO TAKE OIL OFF YOUR HANDS. IT LITERALLY STRIPS ALL MOISTURE FROM THEM.

Pros:

Skin feels soft.

Cons:

Red spots become redder.
Breakouts

This skin care line is a scam! The reviews are fake! I tried this line for two weeks and caused major breakouts. This is what brought me to try acne.org regimen!

Pros:

the bar soap was easy to wash off

Cons:

this stuff JACKED my face up
smells bad
time consuming
dry skin

When i started using this, I would normally have one to two pimples on my face. By the end of using this, I had cystic pimples all over my face (which i RARELY got before using this), and dry/flakey skin. I REALLY wish i would have never used this. I'm pretty hesitant to believe that this many people have had success using it.

Pros:

None.

Cons:

I had mild acne before trying this product and purchased it on the basis of the many positive reviews on this site. Within a few weeks I had deep cystic acne on my jawline that I had never experienced before.

Please be very wary of the reviews for Carly's on this site. Although the product may work for some people, the claims of its effectiveness in reviews on acne.org are grossly exaggerated and likely false (as has been pointed out by others). The manufacturers are very defensive about their tactics and claim that the product is not a "scam" because it works for some people. However, any company that willfully deceives its clients into believing their product is much more effective than it is, is scamming them. I bought this product based solely on the reviews seen here and feel like I was duped. I know they have a money-back guarantee, but seriously I would have paid triple the price to not have experienced the break-out I had while using it. This company preys on the low self-esteem and sheer hopefulness that acne sufferers have for finding a miracle cure. Rest assured, this isn't it and this company is very dishonest in its marketing tactics.

Pros:

cheap
huge bottle

Cons:

gave me more acne
feels grease

I wish I had read more reviews before purchasing this product. I had about five small pimples before I started using it and ended up with more than 10. I don't know if product is a scam or not because not everything works for everyone, but I know it doesn't work for me. READ ALL THE NEGATIVE REVIEWS BEFORE CONSIDERING BUYING.

Pros:

Money Back Guarantee

Cons:

Developed worse, more painful acne than I had when I started.

Products that work should speak for themselves. Beware of fake reviews.
