Pros:

They have good customer support and replies promptly to questions...And they offer a "Money back Guarantee".

Cons:

Didn't help with my mild acne. Changed my status from mild acne sufferer to Moderate-Severe Acne.

Considering I only have mild acne,it made my face looked really terrible.Clogged my pores,had breakouts on areas which I don't have a problem before.I followed all instructions carefully but still it made my face looked horrible.They say it takes a while to see an improvement but they didn't say anything bout it getting worse.Now my face is a mess and everyone at work asks me what happened to my face.DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME ON TRYING THIS ONE.DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT.BEWARE!

Pros:

- Comes fresh (less than one month from manufacturing date)

Cons:

- Broke me out ( from acne with popsules to large, inflamed cysts)
- dried my skin out
-expensive

Bottom line is this sucks.Not only it super expensive but it simply does not work and makes acne worse.I don't know what it is about this product , but it just is terrible.I cannot express how bad this product is with words.DO NOT BUY.

Pros:

Exfoliating
Could be good for blackheads

Cons:

Definitely made me break out

After reading tons of good reviews I decided to buy it. I used it for about a week and it broke me out pretty badly so I stopped using it. I also noticed the bottle which I received was expired. Not sure if that actually had anything to do with it or not. Didn't continue using the product so i'm not sure if it would have improved or not. Your risk.

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:

Customer service was quick and responded to multiple emails with questions as to why my face was exploding. However, perhaps someone trying to push their product is a little biased.

Cons:

It ruined my face.

This product unfortunately ruined my face. I saw all the great reviews and hoped it would be a natural way to treat my face, but it made my skin worse that it ever was in my 29 years. I used it exactly as directed for 2 months until I could no longer bear the cystic acne it caused on my face - it hurt and was so unsightly. I had never had acne like that in my life. Prior to this I had used an acne skin care system that really made my skin flawlessly beautiful for about 2 years and it lost its effectiveness. So after reading about Carly's I thought it would be a good fit for me, as I wanted a cheap, natural way to cleanse my face - and all the stuff they say about BP and chemicals probably has truth. However, if BP and other treatments clear your skin and Carly's ruins it, I am inclined to go back to the stuff that works. I had to go to an esthnetician to treat my face. I have been using PCA skin line for about 2 months and am finally back to a great complexion, though I still have scaring that is slowly fading. I am using a BP face wash along with toner and I had to buy an expensive topical treatment of vitamin a & c to treat the scars, etc. This was an awful ordeal I went though on account of Carly's. I am not sure why it reacted so badly with my skin, but it did and I want other people to know. I've never posted anything like this before and know everyone's skin is different but I must encourage people to be weary. Or, if you try it and it doesn't work within a month stop using it. They kept telling me to be patient when I emailed..well I can't imagine what my face would look like now had I been MORE patient. Good luck to all!

Pros:

It is affordable. You get alot for the money. Free samples.

Cons:

It broke my daughter out terribly. Worse than before she started. We kept with it for over a month. Did exactly how they instruct to use it. But each week she kept getting worse. More acne in places she didn't used to get it.

It may work for some. But my daughter is a young teen and it did not work for her. We even got the Kick A** Teen Formula. We are still trying to heal what this has done to her face. It is affordable and read so many great reviews but I guess everyone is different. Maybe it is better for adult acne? I am thinking that the exfoliating everyday really irritated her skin, even when done gently. She used it over a month, some say you need to keep at it for up to three months. Well I could not put my daughter through that. Crying everynight because of her face. She had to face the cruel remarks of middle school kids daily.

Pros:

skin feels smooth & soft after using (but something is wrong because it is sore and hot!)

fast customer service

genuine money-back guarantee (which is good because YOU WILL WANT YOUR $ BACK.)

Cons:

VERY DRYING AND IRRITATING, even after one use.

I used one of their scrubs that has walnut shells but no BP. I only used it twice - not even in a row - and both times my skin came out red and hot within minutes of getting out of the shower.

Something is definitely wrong with this product; I have used other "gritty" scrubs many days in a row, many times (mostly the proactive cleanser) without irritation. This made my skin tight and with a sunburn feel after ONE use.

Something is fishy here. I think that the negative reviews are real and the positive ones are fake. :( I am saddened that so many people kept using it even though their skin was getting worse. If you try it, TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS. If your skin feels unhappy, STOP USING IT RIGHT AWAY and send it back. Like I said, I used their scrub twice, I was gentle with it and it one that had no BP, but within minutes of patting my face dry my skin was sore. My face has never reacted this badly to any product I have tried in the past, and SO SORE SO FAST. Perhaps walnut shells smooth/soften the skin VERY ABRASIVELY such that the damage is much worse than the benefit, like using sand paper. Smooth but raw. I think this business is preying on those of us who are looking for a cure and are willing to try this. Betcha they make their money because a lot of people don't get around to returning the product, even if they don't like it.

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:

Uhm....

Cons:

Gave me big red cystic acne :-(

I used to get small zits but Carley's gave me big red painful (!!) zits. You can't pop them or anything. They sit on your face forever and leave a big red mark that will last forever! I regret it so much that I gave this a try...

Pros:

none

BROKE ME OUT HORRIBLY WITH MILLIONS OF WHITEHEADS AROUND JAWLINE AND CHIN!!!! I have never had any problems in these areas and now its this worst part of my face. So disappointed in how I look I've had to stay home ever since i used this product. Now that I stopped using this product for a couple days my skin is finally calming down and no more new zits. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU STAY AWAY FROM THIS PRODUCT UNLESS YOU ARE A RISK TAKER. I thought I would give this product a try from all the great reviews but now I wish I never heard of this product
