Pros:

This product need time to really kick in the skin and depends on severity of your acne

Cons:

If you use it on your body and dont wash it properly it may bleached your blouse or shirt

I have been battling acne since I was 22, and now I am coming 28, and start my face become severe around 2006. I have been doing all kind of medications and researchs, and from the review and e bay I found this product and give it a try. It has been 3 months now and it is progressing very well, the severity of my acne is greatly reduce. i used to have active pimples each day.. around the jaw line and cheeks now it does mellow down and hopefully clear up for another few months... once you try it it does balanced your skin and u will notice how your skin improve day by day. The only sad thing I feel is that this product has its competition with in this website.. so when reading the review statement.. trust your instinct, do not get down when you read some review saying that this is not a good product, I am sure 80% will get improve on their skin if you use this product. U might be easily fell into the 80% rather than the 20% :)

Pros:

Works Great!!

Cons:

You must be consistant with the routine!!!

I was 30 years old...never had clear skin. Not severe acne just spots and it was so annoying! For once I wanted to just wake up and be ready to face the world before caking on make-up! My face cleared up in a couple of weeks after strickly following the routine!! GO for it! Excercise is great too! My dermatologist put me on several perscriptions including tetracycline that made me whoozy...now I'm drug free and clear!!

Pros:

The "Industrial Strength" treatment is an amazing exfoliate and I use it every day. This product was a last ditch effort for me and what a life savor it turned out to be.

Cons:

As far as I'm concerned, there are none. I'm a guy so I could care less about any flowery fragrances. As long as it works, I'm happy.

If you are reading these reviews then you are probably searching for a better acne treatment, just as I was about 1 year ago. Give it a try, for $26 how can you go wrong.

My review is real and I am a loyal customer who depends on Carley's Clear & Smooth Acne Treatment for Teens and Severe Adult Acne
Bring back the higher benzoyl peroxide! Kidding. I have started using this product in 2011. They even had a money back guarantee, which is very comforting for people who had tried many products but were disappointed. Warning, it would not clean fast if you have a major acne problem. First bottle, it took 3 months to clean my acne. Since then, I would not want to gamble with a different brand. Though the packaging looks uncool, who would want to buy the outside when it is not really solving your issue? Since my face has really severe issues due to hormonal imbalance, it worked best when it is 10% benzoyl peroxide I wish they would have a new product that has the bigger dose for it. If I am not mistaken, they used this before. For other people, it can be too effective and dry the skin. However, my case in unusual with a very oily skin. It gave me peace for 1-2 days with less frequent usage, and better results. If they have a maximum strength acne solution, I would switch to that option. However, the kick ass solution is the best out there that is working for me... I tried popular brands and they did not work despite the same or better ratings in [link removed]. Recently, I tried Oxy Maximum Action and it did not work as promised. The pimples stay same. Only natural products and homemade save my skin. Example, I bought a whitening mask and it was natural. It was good but it did not clean acne. Carley's products are free of chemicals. It is very kind to your skin.

Pros:

I have HORRIBLE adult acne, and I have tried everything, and I mean EVERYTHING.

Cons:

I can't think of one negative comment to make.

THIS PRODUCT WORKS...it's as simple as that. For the first time in over twenty years, I have clear skin. When I ran out, I tried using other products, but the acne returned. I am sticking with this product for as long as you continue to make it!!

Pros:

It works!

Cons:

No major cons. The soap doesn't smell that great, but you get used to it.

I've been using the scrub and the soap for over a year. I do better with benzoyl peroxide-based products than anything else (salicylic acid does nothing for me), and I don't find BP too drying. I started with the regular strength scrub, but the results started to diminish, I switched to the Kick A** formula and have continued to have good results with it. My acne is mostly hormonal, and it's never completely gone, but the Clear & Smooth products keep it under control better than anything I've ever used. I especially love the soap, which leaves no residue at all and makes my skin feel wonderful. Highly recommended if you can tolerate benzoyl peroxide.

Pros:

The soap made my skin feel squeaky clean and I like that the ingredients are all natural.

Cons:

Within days of starting this product I had terrible cystic acne on my chin, which I never had before.

This seems to work for a lot of other people and I'm really disappointed that it did not work for me. I think the oils and shea butter clogged my pores something fierce. Although the website and the direction page say to keep using the products for a minimum of a month, I simply couldn't sit idly by and watch my chin get worse and worse, not with wedding season in full swing anyway. I switched back to Dan's regimen and am almost 100% clear.

Pros:

-Easy to use: 1 step in the morning & 2 step in the afternoon, sunscreen Coppertone spray-on SPF30, Avene/Evian spray, no toner, no daily moisturizer.
-Really works for me
-Quality and quantity really match the price tag.

Cons:

-Since it's from US, the price has actually nearly quadrupled due to FOREX. But with the quality & quantity, it's okay for me
-Moisturizers in general are too greasy for me, so I just use use the moisturizer once a week (my country is hot & humid)

I started having acne @14 y.o. but the worst is about a year & a half ago where suddenly I got painful & red cystic acne, my face is practically swollen (26 now). Tried lots of things, from Aspirin mask, Lemon, Tea Tree, Diane 35, & every other possible acne products (ProActive, Body Shop, Vinchy, Cetaphil, etc), but to no avail. Started using Carley's @ about May08 (found the testimonials @ Acne.org when I was researching for acne solutions..Thank you~). It worsen at the first 1 month but I persevered (my skins condition is already so bad, that I decided to finish till the bottom of the bottle (Kick Ass 5%)) then my skin becomes very smooth. I love facials (but still using Carley's) and the beautician@the Spa have commented how remarkably smooth my face feels now. Now that my acne is gone, I'll use the 2% formulation. I use the moisturizer only once a week, I don't use toner, I just spray my face with Avene/Evian (act as both toner & moisturizer). Fits my laziness & pocket-depth =p
