Pros:

Feels good, doesn;t smell bad, easy to use, EFFECTIVE

Cons:

only thing is that if you do not get it 100% off, it will affect colored towels - no way around that though... just gotta make sure you get it all - around the hair line, behind teh ears, ect. the second wash with the natural soap helps this a lot

Boy was I pleasantly surprised! I had one spot of cystic acne that was the cause of the majority of my grief. My skin is not THAT bad, but there are spots and then there is an overall texture that in the wrong light makes me feel like it would be tough not to notice how textured and broken out my skin was. That one area of cystic acne had been present for over 15 years (yes, you read that right). It would come and go a bit, but never really go away... It has had me in the Emergency room to be lanced in really bad times, but since it is on my cheek, no Derm that I had visited seemed willing to actually remove it -which is what led to Accutane after a myriad of anti-biotics and meds that did nothing but give me a completely false sense of hope. I was not one of the people that saw immediate results with Carley's. Sure, my skin felt good and a nice new style of clean, but I was still pretty skeptical. Now,for the first time that I can remember that area of cystic acne is GONE!

Pros:

Wonderful product.

I am 34 yrs old and I have had acne since my teens, I have tried everything to clear it, nothing ever worked. I bought this product off of ebay. After I got the product it pnly took about a week to start clearing up my acne, my cousin and niece also tried it when they came to visit me and they have tried everything to clear thier acne and I purchased them each a bottle of this product and they are both now using it on a regular basis now and they now have very little acne. My cousin now wears very little make up. and my niece that is 13 is not asking to wear any make up to cover the acne. I would recommend this product to anyone who is thinking that they the only thing left for them to do is for them is to have the skin peel thing like the doctors told me, try this first. You will be be happy with it.

Pros:

I got this for my daughter after she had tried using Differin and did not get great results(especially for the $$$$) She used it and it has made her skin look beautiful, I started using it as did my other 2 daughters and our skin is now amazing.

Cons:

None, just make sure you follow the directions

This is the best product ever, we have also tried the mosturizers and they are also great. I would and have recommended this product to all my friends and family. The service is great, the soap is outstanding and they always send you little freebies with your order. I will never use another high priced big name brand product again. This stuff is GREAT

Pros:

Works on my moderate acne! Leaves my skin soft and doesn't dry it out! I am very fair and allergic to everything, but Carley's has never bothered me!

Cons:

Be careful - it bleaches towels, clothes, etc - but eveything with benzol peroxide does!

I've used this product for over 5 years! I first found it on ebay and have been a faithful customer ever since! I have moderate acne that is exacerbated by hormones. Carley's is the only treatment that has worked over the long term! I got my mom to try it a couple years ago and now she hooked too! She's in her late 50s but still gets occasional breakouts on her nose and chin (probably hormonal too) and says this stuff works better than all the expensive stuff she's tried! Who cares about a pretty bottle - this stuff works! I absolutely recommend this product! I tell everyone about it!

Pros:

I've been using Carley's Clear and Smooth for years now. It clears up my skin amazingly. Anytime I get talked into using Beauty Control of Mary Kay and switch products my skin slowly gets worse and worse and I come crawling back to Carley's Clear and Smooth. It takes a month or two and my skin is back to being clear. I love love love the Seabuck thorn cream, it's amazing. I love all the free samples I get, and I love the bars of soap.

Cons:

I have to order it in and wait a few weeks for delivery as I live in Canada.

It's the only thing I've found that works. I love how fresh and clean this keeps my skin, I think it's due to all the exfoliating.

Pros:

I love this face wash and soap. If you use it correctly and everyday. Love the lotion also

Cons:

None

I have used this face wash for 4 years now. I found out by watching a video that they posted that I was washing my face wrong. Within a month my face was cleared. Even washing my face wrong it was clearing my skin(not to the degree it is now) In using this soap and face wash I found out I was allergic to SLS. In finding this out has helped my hands considerable. I love all the products. It has worked for me. Thanks Carley's

Pros:

Worked wonderfully for sons acne when nothing else helped...you have to be patient at first but it really works...I have been a repeat customer for a couple of years

Cons:

Make sure facecloth doesnt land on any other clothing as it does discolor...this product work wonderfully for one son but not the other..just a matter of skin type I guess

If we are even close to running out of Kick Ass, its ordered....my son wont go without it..

Pros:

Contains several natural ingredients and is a good exfoliant. I am delighted with the NATURAL SOAP that was included with purchase of the skin cleanser. The soap helps skin to retain moisture (so important to complement any acne cleanser) and has a pleasant scent to it.

Cons:

I mistakingly got a tiny amount of the product in my eye and it has been burning for a couple of days now. I have never experienced this strong of a reaction before to any cosmetic product. I believe my symptoms are due to an adverse reaction to the active ingredient in this, BENZOYL PEROXIDE.

I referred to the "Consumer's Dictionary of Cosmetic Ingredients" and learned a couple of things about the harmful chemical, benzoyl peroxide. BENZOYL PEROXIDE is a bleaching and drying agent used in cosmetics. It is toxic by inhalation. It is a skin allergen and irritant.... The EU and Canada use this ingredient in nail products, but recommend avoiding its usage in skin products. Because of my strong, adverse reaction to this products and the information I found (above) I will discontinue use of this product. I am concerned that it is advertised as a natural product, yet contains a harmful and toxic active ingredient. I urge anyone considering trying out this product to first research the active ingredient.
