Pros:

The soap was nice for my body

Cons:

Broke me out something awful specifically around my mouth with large red cystic pimples and also my chin with huge clogged pores. hyperpigmentation and excessive flaking and drying

Used this product for a week and it appeared to be working. My pores were actually smaller and my skin was smooth and soft-BUT_ after using it for another week or so my skin just tanked. I had multiple pimples appearing daily on my chin and the side of my mouth. I also noticed fine red pustules in the center of my forehead between my brows. I had struggled with acne for 20 years and I have never in all that time had a break out on my forehead. Also all of a sudden I noticed a fine white flaking on my face and tight skin after using this product. I was shocked because it happened overnite and initially I was liking the product. In addition I am a black person and have to deal with dark post inflammatory hyperpigmentation which takes months to fade. I decided to quit using Carly's and start back on the regimen. I wish I had never gotten this product but figured it must be good from all the reviews on amazon and youTube. Oh well- live and learn.

Pros:

Doesn't use animal bi-products and doesn't test anything on animals.
Smells nice, exfoliated without overdrying. Works really well and prevents acne.

Cons:

Just use white wash clothes this product contains peroxide and will bleach colored towels. Thats it!! ;)

I love this product and highly recommend this to anybody with acne of any sort. I have tried everything even topical ointment from the doctorrs and nothing works like this product. It is the best, its not filled with fake inorganic fillers and doesn't have to do anything with animal biproducts. Its natural and thats how cleansing products should be. Trust me this product is worth the cost and the effectiveness. IT TRULY IS THE BEST ACNE PRODUCT AND CLEANSER.I have stuck with them for years and if you have the simplest concern the customer service is always there they are caring people who are knowledgeable in dermatology and are there to help. This product works and yes be patient but it will work.It takes time to get the nasty products out of your pores and the good stuff to clean it out. I promise, I am a customer for life and my sister is also don't waste your money on the other big name products just get this stuff, IT WORKS!!!

Pros:

I absolutely hated the stuff, it seemed to make my skin softer at first though.

Cons:

It seemed like it was working for a few days then out of the blue I started breaking out, little bumps all over my chin and T-Zone and huge cystic zits under the skin.

I didn't really have cysts before so this really bothered me, but I kept trying it and following directions in hope of a purge or something. It had so many great reviews that I thought it maybe just took a little time. Nope, broke me out everywhere I used it, even my upper shoulders got worse where I just had a few zits.

Don't use it unless you want to take a big risk, it really did a number on my face and I'm feeling even more depressed now with this horrible cystic acne and I pick at my face too so this was just awful for me. I'm really really sad. Use at your own risk.

Pros:

There are a lot of products out there of which my daughter has tried many but for the money this works the best long term. I don't think anything out there is a cure for acne but this at least controls it. We have been using this for approximately 4 years and wouldn't be without it! Thank you Carley's!!

Cons:

None

Try it!!

Pros:

Very clean smelling/feeling
Exfoliation
Actually works!

Cons:

None!

I found this product randomly when I was at my wits end with my acne problems. I decided that I had nothing to lose so I ordered it about two years ago. I must admit, my skin did get worse before it got better, but I kept at it. Even though I still had break outs, I could tell that my skin looked more radiant. Eventually, the break outs became fewer and fewer and people started commenting on how great my skin looked! I recommend Carley's to everyone I know. I love ALL of their products!

Pros:

It works! Affordable, bottle last forever, natural ingredients, great customer service!

Cons:

None!

I am in my mid to late 30s with very sensitive acne prone skin. I started using Carley's about a year ago and although it did take a little over a month to work, it did work and is still working! My skin is smooth and clear! I even felt comfortable enough to use Carley's throughout my pregnancy because of all the natural ingredients. I also love the daytime and nighttime moisturizer for acne prone skin. Lastly, the customer service is excellent! They return emails promptly, are very accommodating and they really do guarantee everything.

Pros:

I've used the Kick *ss Treatment System for about a month. It's easy to use: in the shower was face (or chest, back, etc.) first with the provided soap then massage the treatment in for about 30 seconds, rinse and do a quick wash with the soap again. When you first start it seems like a lot of steps, but in about a week you don't even notice. AND it works! After not knowing what my face would look like in the morning, now it is always clear. No worries. I love this stuff :-)

Cons:

None

There is not one product that works for everyone, but if you are experiencing breakouts daily you owe it to yourself to try Clear and Smooth treatments: either the regular or extra strength. Be sure to follow the instructions. You will most likely get a smooth complexion as a reward. If it doesn't work for you there is not big financial investment and you can go on to try something else.

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:

easy to use
NO funky chemicals
all natural
free samples
IT WORKS!!!

Cons:

kinda smells like grandma's medicine cabinet

I had fairly clear skin as a teenager, but when I hit my mid-twenties my face erupted. I'm not talking little white heads, I mean dime-size, agonizing, cystic acne that took weeks to heal. It's left me with scars that continue to form blackheads. Not pretty at all, turning 30 on top of it all was downright depressing! I tried everything OTC and prescription. If it didn't make the acne worse, it dried out my face, making me look older. I found Carley's a few weeks ago and the difference is AMAZING! All the acne is gone, I had no allergic reactions, no drying or peeling, and when I put on make-up, my face looks PhotoShop FLAWLESS!!!! I'll give up my cellphone before I give up Carley's!

Pros:

The natural soap, the free samples, the company's willingness to refund you and answer your questions

Cons:

The irritation it caused to my skin, the length of time it would take for breakouts to heal, the constant new breakouts

This particular product actually made my skin worse. I really wanted it to work, I stuck with it for several months, and tried many of their products. Unfortunately, all it did was irritate my skin more and give me several new breakouts and red marks. Their other products were wonderful, but I don't how it could NOT irritate someone's skin with the scrubbing daily...I was under the impression this actually spread bacteria and caused more inflammed and angry breakouts...which is what it seemed to do for me. Your skin can take about 6 weeks to turn over, but my esthetician says if you don't see ANY improvement at that point with a product, you're probably not going to see any. I stuck with it for about 3-4 months before giving up. Many of the reviews out there do seem to sound the same, and if they are real people writing them-it's awesome that this worked for them. Unfortunately it didn't work for me. Fortunately, the company has very good customer service in answering questions and working out refunds with you. They stand by their product, which is always very important.
