Pros:

Exfoliating, effective, outstanding customer service, fast shipping

Cons:

Stains clothing/bath towels

I love the Carley's product line. Used properly, these products (particularly the Acne Treatment, as pictured) is extremely effective and has played a major role in changing my complexion. The exfoliating properties of the scrub softens my skin incredibly, paired with the use of the washcloth and soap after scrubbing. The moisturizers are also wonderful, and so natural! I love that there is none of the junk you find in the "store bought" products. Why is there such a hang up about using products as they are naturally colored or scented? I love the natural soap as well. Very straightforward, multi-purpose bars with the ingredients plastered all over the label. Nothing fishy in there! The staining of the bath towels is to be expected, if the scrub is not used properly, as the product contains benzoyl peroxide - and I'm sure Proactiv does the same thing to fabrics. So just be careful - that's all you need to do.)

Pros:

Makes skin smoother and softer.

Cons:

-A pain to use: Showers take a long time using the product and you have to take a shower everyday.
-Runs out quickly when using it for body acne, so you keep having to buy more.

This was so frustrating. I used the product for 3-4 months without much results. I have terrible acne on my back. At first it seemed to be helping and I decided to switch to the industrial strength, hoping it would work even better. Nope. I continued to break out. It was really disappointing because I saw all the great reviews and thought this would finally be the solution to my acne. Now, I'm just using the midnight and daily moisturizers which are very nice, but I still have acne.

Pros:

Natural, not tested on animals, inexpensive, incredible customer service. No questions asked 100% money-back guarantee. It works!

Cons:

It bleaches out coloured towels (easily solved by buying some cheap white towels and wash cloths).

I understand that any product isn't going to work for everyone. But, I am very suspicious of those people who write something like, "Carley's didn't work for me, so all the negative reviews are real and all the positive comments are fake." I'm sorry it didn't work for you, but my positive reviews are real. Carley's really works for me -- I'll use it as long as they make it. I don't care if you buy Carley's products or not, but it DOES work wonders for some of us, so don't discourage others because it didn't work for you. Do NOT use other acne products at the same time as Carley's, that can really mess you up. I had horrible acne for decades; after using Carley's, I now frequently get compliments on my skin. My daughter in law complained about a minor breakout along her jaw line. I suggested she use Carley's, telling her it was great for alleviating acne. She said, "Why do you use it, you don't have acne." Wow! I don't?? That was amazing to hear after all those decades of acne.

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

Pros:

None

Cons:

Gives you acne

I'm shocked this stuff has so many positive reviews. Well I was sucked in by them and used Carlys for a little over 2 months and my skin broke out worse then it ever has in my life!! I followed the directions exactly using the washcloths and my skin just got worse and worse and worse the longer I used it!! I kept using it hoping my skin would turn around and it would clear up as they say it takes a while but that never happened. I went back on Dan's regimen and my skin is clear again! The only reason I went off of it was because the idea of just using one product in the shower and that's it was appealing to me. The time saving and simplicity of it drew me in. HUGE MISTAKE!! My skin is clear but I have acne scars from how bad I broke out while on Carleys.

Pros:

Why do I love this product so much? It's simple and natural. I've been using this product for almost two years now and it works just as amazing as it did the first time. I used to use harsher products that worked against my acne in a forceful way. This product, however, works with my skin. The simplicity of it does not irritate my skin. It is like an exfoliator, which is a plus. The beads are not too harsh either to irritate your skin.

Cons:

It takes a week to get used to. But thats all part of the process

This product has been AMAZING for me. Ironically the oils in the product have rejuvinated and softened my skin. The secret is using the right oils your skin needed. I'm so glad that this product properly informed me about what really is good/bad for the skin. Do not be alarmed by the pricing either. The bottle lasts you 3-4 months. That's equivalant to buying a cheap acne product at a regular store: about $5-6 a month. Usually acne products that are at regular stores are about $8-$10. This product, in the long run, is actually cheaper than buying an off the shelf product for 3-4 months. Your paying $20 rather than roughly $27.

Pros:

Works wonders!! Bottle lasts a long time:)

Cons:

None

I am 39 years old and have had cystic acne for years!! This stuff keeps me clear!! I have sensitive skin and everything burns my face. Carely's products don't. I don't let myself run out, ever!! Thanks so much:)

Pros:

All natural, affordable, superior customer service, free samples, feels great, easy to use.

Cons:

It may take time for your skin to adjust especially for sensitive skin. (But it's worth the wait!)

This product has changed my life. It is the only thing available that's all natural for those of us that have sensitive skin! It took time for my skin to adjust, but now im still amazed that I can look in the mirror and see my face again instead of pimples. I use the kick a** formula for my severe acne and it is the ONLY product that has eliminated the large severe painful acne as well as reducing blackheads. My skin is smooth and soft and the soap made my face actually feel clean for the first time in YEARS. I started with the original formula, but switched to the stronger formula and it made the difference and I found that a light washing with the soap, followed by gently applying the formula and leaving it on for maybe 15 seconds, rinsing, then applying the moisturizer after patting dry works best for me. I do that routine twice a day. The moisturizer is a must have because my combination skin can get a little dry and it feels great. It's also a great base for mineral foundation. Try this product! And be patient with it because it takes time to adjust but it's worth it! I tell everyone I know about Carley's because of how it has changed my life. I wish I would have found it when I was 15 and saved myself the worry of living with acne and all the money I wasted on other products! I love Carley's!

Pros:

The soap was nice for my body

Cons:

Broke me out something awful specifically around my mouth with large red cystic pimples and also my chin with huge clogged pores. hyperpigmentation and excessive flaking and drying

Used this product for a week and it appeared to be working. My pores were actually smaller and my skin was smooth and soft-BUT_ after using it for another week or so my skin just tanked. I had multiple pimples appearing daily on my chin and the side of my mouth. I also noticed fine red pustules in the center of my forehead between my brows. I had struggled with acne for 20 years and I have never in all that time had a break out on my forehead. Also all of a sudden I noticed a fine white flaking on my face and tight skin after using this product. I was shocked because it happened overnite and initially I was liking the product. In addition I am a black person and have to deal with dark post inflammatory hyperpigmentation which takes months to fade. I decided to quit using Carly's and start back on the regimen. I wish I had never gotten this product but figured it must be good from all the reviews on amazon and youTube. Oh well- live and learn.
