Pros:

The bottle lasts especially for the price!
Excellent customer service

Cons:

It did not work
Caused more breakouts than normal
Extremely drying

I usually will not write a review about anything but I felt the need to express how bad this product was for me. Before anything, everyone should know I gave the product plenty of time: 8 weeks! At first, the product felt amazing on my skin and I noticed less blemishes appearing but with continued use, the product became less effective and more troublesome. I followed the instructions exactly but my skin kept worsening. Looking in the mirror became difficult! B aware that the treatment is not for every individual. So I contacted the seller and shipped the product back. By the way, the owner Steve Wills holds true to the money back guarantee! I will stick to using Purpose soap, witch hazel toners, and the complex 15 moisturizer for my skin. I just started this routine yesterday, so wish me luck!

Pros:

cheap
can send back

Cons:

made my skin break out so bad I had to stop using it.

My skin was pretty good and now I have the worst cystic acne. Please be very careful! I cried for days. As soon as I stop my skin started to clear but I think it may scar from this.

Pros:

Animal Free
Fast Shipping
Free samples
Soap

Cons:

Wash was too harsh for me
A lot more acne on my face

After using this product for about a month it made my face BREAK OUT even in places I never had acne. It did make my skin soft but was still had acne on it. I now recently use Dan's and it mad a HUGE improvement on my skin. A lot of my acne that Carley's made is now drying by using Dan's. I am glad I stopped using Carley's and I will get my refund.

Pros:

If you like having clear, acne free skin, then NONE

Cons:

Terrible breakouts, Cysts, Oily skin, Blotchy skin, embarrassment to go outside, rude customer service, 1000 fake reviews on this website and around the web

I used this product a couple of months ago and had very high hopes. I followed their regimen to a tee, and saw my face slowly die. If you actually do your research about this product you will see that there is no way in hell this product can help...it is irritated, the method is highly ineffective, and there are massive pore clogging ingredients in it. Also, please take some time to actually read all the amazing reviews. They sounds extremely fishy to me. I have never heard of an actual person from the message boards getting good results...in fact, everybody seems to breakout terribly. I hope this review deters at least one person from buying this terrible, non effective and manipulative product.

Pros:

none it's cheap but 20 bucks for something that's going to destory your skin isn't worth it. I honestly can't think of anything positive about this

Cons:

-makes your skin break out worse
-is filled with butters and other pore clogging materials
-doesn't clear up acne
-if you read all the reviews for this product they all say the same thing because the people selling Carley's are writting fake reviews.
-not gentle

Don't bother with this product. If you search about it on the forums you'll realize that this product is fake and does not work. THEY ARE WRITING FAKE REVIEWS SO YOU BUY THIS. BUYERS BEWARE
April 13, 2011

Pros:

None.

Cons:

I had mild acne before trying this product and purchased it on the basis of the many positive reviews on this site. Within a few weeks I had deep cystic acne on my jawline that I had never experienced before.

Please be very wary of the reviews for Carly's on this site. Although the product may work for some people, the claims of its effectiveness in reviews on acne.org are grossly exaggerated and likely false (as has been pointed out by others). The manufacturers are very defensive about their tactics and claim that the product is not a "scam" because it works for some people. However, any company that willfully deceives its clients into believing their product is much more effective than it is, is scamming them. I bought this product based solely on the reviews seen here and feel like I was duped. I know they have a money-back guarantee, but seriously I would have paid triple the price to not have experienced the break-out I had while using it. This company preys on the low self-esteem and sheer hopefulness that acne sufferers have for finding a miracle cure. Rest assured, this isn't it and this company is very dishonest in its marketing tactics.

Pros:

Money Back Guarantee

Cons:

Developed worse, more painful acne than I had when I started.

Products that work should speak for themselves. Beware of fake reviews.
January 3, 2011

Pros:

You get a lot.

Cons:

Made acne so much worse.

I used this product for six months before giving up on it. It made my skin look SO bad, and I am still trying to recover. When I first started Carley's, I had some whiteheads and blackheads. After Carley's, I developed some cystic acne and hundreds of closed comedones all over my face. My derm told me that the ingredients in this product usually cause damage to the skin and can change what kind of acne one has.
