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:

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:

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:

came with free samples

Cons:

made me break out horribly

I have had bad skin for years now. I came on here one night and read a bunch of reviews for a lot of different products. I ran across Carley's and read mostly all of the reviews good and bad and googled it for more info and decided to buy it. pretty much i thought that the first week it was working, i mean i was using everything the way it was supposed to be used... THEN the second week i started breaking out but figured it was normal since products make you break out then clear you up. But no. It got worse and WORSE! I stopped using it after about a month because my skin got awful and the break outs werent going away. Now im just now starting to heal my skin from the damage that this product caused, little bumps and big ones and rashes that itch :( please be careful before using this product, even if you think you have strong skin and its not sensetive b/c thats what i thought, i thought my skin could handle anything, wrong.

Didn't like it!!!
I really wanted this product to work like many other people here but unfortunately it was too irritating for my skin, there was redness afterwards and small red pimples like irritation. I only used it 2 times and the second one I felt soring so I was too afraid to use it again. Also my skin didn't feel smooth with this product, after the two times I used it felt weird from the next day, it felt a bit harsh for about a week.

DON'T USE THIS PRODUCT. THE GOOD REVIEWS ARE FAKE.
I've given this product a chance and used the whole bottle, but do not buy this!!! I read somewhere on this site that these good reviews are fake! I've used almost the whole bottle of this stuff... I used to have not so bad acne, and now my face is AWFUL! It irritates your skin so much and tells you to do exactly the opposite of the advice from the regimen. It tells you to scrub your skin with the product AND then with a washcloth.

Pros:

Thought it worked at first
Positive reviews give you hope

Cons:

Broke me out very badly
Drying
Odd smell

I would not recommend this product. I bought it based on the many positive reviews (I always do thorough research), gave it a shot for a few months and was completely disappointed with the results. While using it, I began to breakout along my jawline and neck - places I'd never broken out on in my life, which have left scars.

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:

-Does make your face feel squeeky clean
-You get alot of free samples
-fast shipping

Cons:

- drys out your skin
- fragrance doesn't smell that great
- when they packaged my items my moisturizer exploded inside the box

<-- I USED THE ADULT FORMULA, BAR SOAP, DAY TIME moisturizer AND NIGHT TIME moisturizer + carly's makeup So! Im a 20 year old female victim of acne for several years now. Ive been to dermatologists, used over the counter stuff and nothing seems to work. I came upon Carley's online & decided to try it. BOY WAS THAT A BIGG MISTAKE! i was drawn by the "millions" of good reviews & thought it was worth a shot. I followed directions & did everything like i was suppose to for a month. I started realizing red patches on each side of my face, thinking the beads from the formula was the cause. but nothing of it. Even while using moisturizer my face was still dry and began itching. I then stopped using the product b.c my face couldn't stand it anymore. My face began to itch forever and ever and would never go away. I went to a dermatologist yesterday and she said i had a bacterial infection on my face caused from irritation of the skin. So Ughh! im on medication & will return every
