Pros:

Effective and Cheap

Cons:

A bit of the smell

I switched over to Clear Pores because of the dryness and pimples which were appearing after I had used Proactiv. Ever since I have been using clear pores, I have witness minimal pimples or skin drying. It's really working very well for me. I would surely like to recommend this product more than Proactiv.

Pros:

I get bad acne on my whole body with annoying combination skin and the Industrial Strength Kickass Teen Treatment gets rid of everything. It is really affordable so I can give every part of my body w/ acne the attention it needs with one product.

Cons:

I use the Industrial strength because my acne is really bad but it might be a bit harsh for someone with moderate acne so start out with the regular and then graduate to this one if there are leftover zits. Give it a month to work.

Follow the directions and do extra scrubbing for more stubborn acne and this stuff will work incredibly well. Give it a few weeks to work and be patient. You may start breaking out more at first or it looks like it isn't doing anything, but that just means impurities need to leave your skin and after that is done you get cleared up. More stubborn acne might require you to scrub for about a minute or to use a dry wash cloth, leave it on a little longer, or other variations-play with it a little and it will take the acne off. I have been using this product for 2 years. There were times when I went away for a few days and forgot to bring it, tried another acne product in its place. This never lasted more than a week because my skin goes back to the way it was and I have decided to use Clear and Smooth for the next 20 years because genetically I will probably need to and nothing has ever worked even 1/2 as well as this product. I order a year supply every year. Enough said.

Pros:

I like their natural soap.
Received full refund without any problems.
Customer service was quick to respond via email.

Cons:

Treatment didn't work, and made breakouts worse.
Customer service, although quick, often came across as curt and lecturing, and seemed insistent that it was my fault that the product wasn't working, when in actuality I was following their regimen to a tee.

I used this for just over 3 months, which is the length of period the website suggests before I can ascertain whether or not the product's working. Despite my concern that wiping my face with a wash cloth even gently was too abrasive for my skin, I went ahead with their regimen. For the first couple weeks everything seemed fine. But eventually, and unsurprisingly, the wash cloth served only to spread the bacteria around, so what started out as individual whiteheads soon became clusters of whiteheads, the likes of which I had never experienced before. And this problem persisted for the several months I was on this regimen, and only subsided until I decided to quit. Also, the fact that I was advised against using any moisturiser left my skin feeling exceptionally dry. When I inquired about this, I was told to leave the natural soap on my face for a couple minutes to let it absorb into my skin. Doing this did not remedy the dryness. Judging from other reviews, perhaps this product does indeed work for others. But it didn't for me. Fortunately thanks to the full refund it wasn't a waste of money in the end. Just a waste of time.

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:

all natural ingredients

Cons:

if you actually look at the ingredients it is all oils..therefore clogging your pores, broke me out in cystic acne

I really really regret using this product. It made my face 10x worse. I fell for all of the positive reviews on their website.

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:

I've been using this for several years now and absolutely love it. I know this is a cliche, but I did try everything under the sun for adult acne and nothing worked until I tried this. Now my skin is really clear and smooth. Just try it!!

Cons:

At first it was the staining of the wash cloths but now I know if you use the soap after the cleanser it won't stain anything.

Just try it 'coz they do have the money back guarantee!! You can't loose!!

Pros:

-Great Value for the Money, affordable
-Does not over dry or irritate skin much
-Seller is professional and has good Communication

Cons:

None

This product is amazing. I have tried Nuetrogena, Clearasil, St. Ives, Clean and Clear, Even Murad Acne Complex...and Carley's stands head and shoulders above these! I recommend buying from eBay and using the natural soap they include, it real does feel amazing. If you have very sensitive skin like me, you may get a few breakouts before it really starts working, but for the most part, it will work like a charm. Do not get discouraged! I also recommend (REALLY) following the directions. I am a bit lazy and did not want to wash my face at night with the natural soap (included on eBay) but I feel it really helps the actual Carley's skin treatment work. Please,try this is everything else has failed. You do not need expensive kits to clear up your acne, this should do it.
