Pros:

within 5 days of using this 90%of jawline acne has dissapeared. Right before this I was using Proactiv for 2 years. It helped a little at first but stopped working. I bought 5 bars of soap for $29 and each bar should last about 2 months.

Cons:

Have to get it online but shipping is fast. mine came within 3 days.

It works. you may notice a few bumps at first but give it time. I got like 2 bumps but they went away within two days. It's just cleaning out your system. Also come with a few bonus samples. Also comes with a money back guarantee if you are not satisfied.

Pros:

It makes me skin feel soft, and clean. Also, the tone of my skin is much nicer.

Cons:

My face is not clear yet.

I have been using this product for a month or so. The first two weeks my skin broke out really bad. I was also experiencing a really bad burning/painful rash like thing at first,tho that has since cleared up and gone away. I think it was just a reaction to such a strong product (i usually only have ever used Oxy Pads). I can't really tell if its working or not. The break out is not so bad now, it is only in the one spot that I always break out, along my jaw area, but it is taking a lot longer than usual to go away and I am getting really fed up. Other pimples have popped up but seem to go away almost over night. It's just this one area that is driving me crazy. The rest of my skin looks great! I almost don't need make up on the other areas of my face. The skin is soft and the tone is great.

Pros:

Affordable, not tested on animals, effective, great customer service. I love that everything is done in the shower so once you are finished, there is nothing else to apply or anything. I've had no problems with bleaching, which I did with Proactiv.

Cons:

For me, because I use it on my face, chest AND back, it obviously doesn't last as long. A bottle lasts me about a month so it costs the same as Proactiv did but it's still well worth it. Also, it took long to work for me (3 months) but it worked!

Let me start off by saying that this product definitely works BUT it is not a "quick fix". It took 3 months for the mild-moderate acne on my chest and back to clear up. I had been using Proactiv to treat it but it didn't seem to work so I switched to Carley's but I really had to be patient. I was still using Proactiv on my face (I had clear skin) but wanted to just use one product so I switched to Carley's for my face, too. As expected, I had an outbreak that lasted about 5-6 weeks, where I developed tons of tiny little pimples all over my forehead, my jawline, chin and nose. It was EXTREMELY frustrating but Steve explained to me why this happened and just asked that I be patient. I hung in there and it has now been about 3 months since I started it for my face and I am about 95% clear. It was really hard to stick with it but it was so worth it. Just remember to follow the directions EXACTLY or else it can delay the effectivenes. Don't give up if it takes long, IT WILL WORK!!!

Pros:

This stuff has been the only product that has worked for my daughter! She has tried the most popular (and expensive) brands and she's also been perscribed medicine from the doctor. this tops it all!

Cons:

I don't have any cons.

If you are looking to try something new for acne, I would definitely give Carley's a try. It's inexpensive and the bottle is huge and lasts for months. Plus you get a free soap. The soap is wonderful. My daughter almost panics when she gets near the bottom of her bottle. She's in her mid teens and this has changed her confindence immensely for the better. I've used it myself, and I don't have acne, but it left my skin feeling refreshed and smooth. I love it too, but I'm not allowed to touch hers. I have to get my own. I have tried and ordered several of their producst. All have been a wonderfully positive experience and the company is second to none in the service department. Higly recommended!!

Pros:

its the best product i have truly tried, ever.

Cons:

for some people, like me...it took many weeks to kick in (7 to be exact) and random spurts of breakouts here and there. eventually your skin works with it and it becomes the miracle worker everyone has been talking about.

carly's site sounded true and so did there uncensored feedback on ebay, but how will you know forsure? i know what your thinking as you read this....."this proably isnt a real person. its probably fake feedback to make the product soundgood" wrong. this product speaks for itself and has changed my life. im sure it will for you to. just remember.....to stay loyal to it. the moment you stop using it and give up is the day all hell breaks loose and you get zits worse then before. so keep on it and im sure your results will be breathtaking as it was to me and thousands of other people to. bottom line...this product is the best and is worth every cheap penny.

Pros:

Affordable, lasts a long time, works great, doesn't overdry skin, doesn't irratate my allergies

Cons:

Mail order only, not a big deal at all

I started using two weeks before my wedding which was too soon for it to make a big difference by then, but now that I'm mostly through the first bottle my skin looks better than ever before. I get the periodic tiny pimple, but nothing like before and the scars from the old acne are even clearing up, which is amazing because I thought I'd be splotchy forever. I have much higher self confidence since using this product because I don't have to constantly fear that my makeup is going to rub off and expose my skin - I barely wear makeup anymore! I am so happy to have skin that's finally clearing up. I'm 25 years old and shouldn't be dealing with cystic breakouts, so this product is truly a life saver. I think that the moisturizer which I just ordered will help a lot too! $41.00 is including shipping and the moisturizer on my most recent order. Without the moisturizer it's ony $25

Pros:

free soap with every purchase!
Habits I didn't know I had and realized I had to stop (picking my skin/ product overlapping)

Also, did you guys think about everything you are putting on your face? If you are a woman, concealers and face primers can contain salicylic acid. Foundations/ powders can have comedogenics (ingredients that clogs pores/aggravate acne). All of these we use at once to try and cover our acne (I know I use them all the time) which in turn makes our skin worse because of all the chemicals competing to clear our skin when we are actually clogging it. For myself I use Cover-FX concealer and foundation which doesn't contain any of these and it's been good. Pricey yes, but worth it until my skin clears. Don't use anything else on your skin while using Carley's treatment. I think that is what's saving my skin so far. and DON'T PICK! I am a huge picker (c'mon we all do it!) which leaves those pores open to anything that's already on your face to enter and become trapped. Huge no-no! That was probably the hardest thing for me to stop!

Pros:

This stuff works great for my skin, keeps break outs to a minimum and smooths out my skin.

Cons:

Haven't found any yet. The price is a little high, but one bottle will last me a year+, so I think it's worth it.

This may not work for you, as everyone has different skin! But this works for me. And no, I'm not being paid by Carley's.B

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:

I love the ease of use of this product! I keep it in the shower, along with an extra bar of the soap at the sink. No fuss, no muss! It works quite well. Clean smell, all natural, what more could I ask for?!

Cons:

I do still experience the occassional breakout but that seems to be at times that I don't follow the directions to a T.

I will be a repeat customer for life! My daughter is ten and I have her using the natural soap twice a day now. I hope that preventative measures will keep her from the scarring that I now have from years of acne that ran unchecked.
