Pros:

I love Carley's products! I use the soap, clear and smooth, anti-aging/acne elder flower mask. This product is quite gentle and natural. I order once a year which costs me $100.00. Which is a great deal because you get the forth product free. You can store the product in the fridge so it stays fresh!

Cons:

Shipping is $23 to Canada:(

It's worth it! Best skin product I've ever used!

Pros:

Great product. I've been using this for at least 4 years now. Works better than any other product I've tried. It took a couple weeks at least to see a difference when I first started it. And every time I've strayed from the product (tried other products), my skin would flare up again. It would take another couple weeks for me to see results once starting Carley's again. It definitely works.

Cons:

Can be drying-- I use their day time moisturizer for acne prone skin and it takes care of that problem! It's a great moisturizer.

Give it shot. Try it for at least 2-3 weeks. Use it AS INSTRUCTED. The soap, the scrub, and I would definitely recommend the moisturizer too for best results (even if you have oily skin normally).

Pros:

If you use this product as directed it will work. I have been ordering for over 8 years and now order for my 4 kids. It is the best! You must order the scrub and soap, they work together.

Cons:

I wish it was in my local store, but it is shipped very quick!

I love this product along with my 4 kids, I don't understand the bad reviews, unless they are created by trouble makers or someone who can't read the directions and don't use the soap along with the scrub. I have handed out the sample scrub that comes with all of my order's. Over the years and everyone love's how it works on acne and to keep you skin looking young I am now 49 and do not have wrinkles, everyone asks if I am my 27 year old son's sister. It works on wrinkles and acne! Give it a try! My kids did not want to use mom's products, so off to the dermatologist we went. They tried all of the prescriptions and went back to Carley's products. It is a great product for acne and to keep wrinkles away! I am a long time user, you must give it a try, but, you must use it, and use it properly. I am real, and welcome any emails for information on my personal use. I do not believe anyone had bad results if they used it properly. Price is for scrub and extra soap. LOVE THE SOAP ORDER EXTRA FOR YOUR WHOLE BODY!

Pros:

It works. Really. Give it time. It makes your skin feel amazing.

Cons:

None that I can think of!

This is my second review on here, and I'll tell you why. This is not a fake review. I am a mom and have a daughter that has used this for 1.5 years and her skin is really beautiful. She rarely gets a pimple, and if so, it's during her time of the month. I am 44 and use it, too. It makes your skin feel amazing. I can't believe the people that get on here and accuse the owner of making up fake reviews. Trust me, he doesn't have to do that. My daughter was at Walmart and a girl asked her how she got her skin so pretty. I had to write down the name of this stuff on a business card I had and give it to her. I didn't know this girl at all...she was our check out girl! Buy it, use it faithfully for 6 weeks, and then get back to us! Use it before you diss it!!!! Leave the owner alone, I thank God he developed this stuff!

Pros:

Great customer service

Cons:

Not a good regimen (medicated cleanser)

Require using bar soap on face (you should never)

Irritating (Not sure which ingredient(s) exactly)

This is my second review of Carley's acne regimen. After giving it plenty of time, I've decided to ditch it and here's why. 3 reasons why Carley's regimen does NOT work as well as Acne.org regimen. # 1 - They use a medicated cleanser Medicated cleansers are not more effective for treating acne than unmediated cleansers because the medication is not on the skin long enough to have any real effect. If you let the cleanser sit on your skin in hopes of giving the medication time to work, you're also giving the surfactants in the cleanser time to irritate your skin. The reason why Acne.org's method works better is because generous amount of BP is applied on a dry skin by itself, allowing it to be absorbed without competing with other chemicals. # 2 - They instruct you to use bar soap on face. Bar soaps in general are should NOT be used in acne-prone face because it damages your acid mantle, letting in more bacteria and toxins and then making your condition worse. Do not use bar soap while on Benzoyl Peroxide. It can strip and overdry the skin. Their natural soap is great but just not for your face. # 3 - Irritating I have been a longtime user of Benzoyl Peroxide, so it usually does not irritate me when I switch to a different BP product. However, Carley's BP cleanser with mix of using their bar soap on my face has irritated my face with consistent small red bumps. Their moisturizer also stings and made my face bit red too. Moisturizers should not sting! (unless it has chemical exfoliants).

Pros:

It works beautifully for me. Natural ingredients. I've been using Carley's for several years, and plan to keep using it forever. It's the only cleanser I will use on my face. The price is reasonable, so is shipping if you buy more than one product at a time. Free samples are nice, too.

Cons:

Bleaches out washcloths and towels, but easily avoided if you use white washcloths and towels with this. Like all other products, it doesn't work for everyone, and you have to follow the directions, and not use any other product with it. Your acne very well might get worse before it gets better when using Carley's. Be prepared and be patient.

Actually, I want to address the people who insist that the positive reviews about Carley's are phony. The thing is, Carley's works for some people and doesn't work for others. That's why there is a 100% money back guarantee from the company. If it were a scam, they wouldn't refund your money, and no one has accused Carley's of NOT refunding their money when they send the products back. I have left two other reviews here, and when you accuse us of sending fake reviews, you are insinuating that we're lying. I'm not. Yes, Carley's has oils in it. My hair stylist told me last week that I have beautiful skin, and asked me what I used. I told her about Carley's, and about the oils in it. She agreed that cleansers that dry ones skin out cause oily skin to pump out MORE oil to overcompensate for the drying. The oils in Carley's make skin not have to do that. Okay, my skin did get worse on Carley's before it got better. But, it DID get better -- my skin got to where I frequently get compliments on it. I'm still shocked by that, but happily so. If Carley's didn't work for you, that is truly unfortunate. I hope you find something that works. But, Carley's has worked for a LOT of people, so your experience is not the rule. Don't accuse us of writing fake reviews just because you're angry at the product. Your reviews saying our reviews are fake might scare someone away from using Carley's who might be helped by it. Yes, the owner of Carley's DOES ask us to write reviews here. He does not pay us to do so. He does not tell us what to write. He doesn't even check to see if we have written. We're not given free products to write. We have nothing to gain from writing positive reviews. We just want to tell people about this wonderful product. I wish Carley's had been around decades ago when I first needed it. But it's here now, and it works for me. It works well for others too, but not for everyon

Works well for me.

Not available at the local store.

I've been using this product for several years. My acne started out to be nasty, painful and embarrassing. This product keeps it at very mild. I'm pleased with this product.

Pros:

With daily use my sons skin stays clear. When he runs out, within a week, his skin breaks out. It's a wonderful product.

Cons:

None

I've always had wonderful customer service. All the freebies (samples) are great to get. They work wonderful for traveling. The soap is great too. Makes the skin feel soft and not dried out.
