Didn't work for me
After reading all the good eviews, I decided to give it a try. Unfortunately, this product was over drying my face and I received no result within 3 months. I now have a very very dry skin with as many as pimples as before. I happy to see that it worked for other people but in my own case, it didn't.

Product used: Carley's (Clear and Smooth Skin Treatment)
Pros:
I am over 55 and use these products specifically for purposes of anit-aging; keeping my skin clean, and my pores small. In my lifetime, I have tried a plethoria of soaps and creams until one day about 6 years ago, I came across Carley's on eBay and thought I would take a chance. I have never come across anything that works as well on my skin. The soap cleans my skin beautifully and the creams and lotions are non-oily, go on silky smooth, and feel just luscious on the skin.
Cons:
I use these products for anti-aging so I cannot comment on how it works for those with acne.
I would like to take a moment to address the negative reivews I have read and I say what a bunch of nonsense - anyone can write anything they want on the internet and never have to take accountablity for it. In business, there is competiton, and that is a good and healthy thing, because, when you have a choice, companies are then forced to produce better products. On the other hand, it can be underhanded and it is unfortunate that some businesses will stop at nothing to discredit their competition. By reading the negative comments, I suspect that is the case. Anyone who has really tried these products could not have had such an experience like that, maybe the products don't work the same for everyone, but the silly things written here about it? Just nonsense! And the people who make these prodcuts have never tried to "fool" me in any way, shape or form. But, I look at it this way, the product must be REALLYgood if the competition is jumping in with their negative 2 cents!! These are QUALITY products. For those of you who disagree with me, you are entitled to your own opinon (nothing works the same for everyone) BUT you are not entitled to make up your own facts. Take these negative reviews with a grain of salt....

This stuff is fantastic! I can't get enough! The service is great and the seller is very honest and helpful in any way he can be. He has always answered any questions I had and was very helpful and happy to help. I was on prescription medicines for my skin a few years ago and I got tired of paying the high prices for my meds. I did a search online and found carleys. I have been using it ever since and love it!!!

Product used: Carley's (Clear and Smooth Skin Treatment)
Pros:
Great info on website & great communication with company. Money-back guarantee with no time limit. They also have promotions and sometimes give free samples. The cleanser works very well and smells great (my opinion!). They even offer a stronger version if you need it. Products leaves skin clean, soft and is not overly drying. Previous products I have tried left my skin red and peeling.
Cons:
None? Just follow the directions. They are simple and clear. Acne products need time to show their effects, so be patient. Don't know if product bleaches towels b/c I only use white and I always bleach them anyway.
Money-back guarantee, so try it and see if it is for you. I am 39 years old (aren't I too old for this?!) and my acne was driving me crazy. Could not get rid of it. It would worsen once a month and start "way under the skin." Looked like little tumors. lol. Was skeptical this would work because hormones were obviously playing a large role. These products work very well for me. I do use the industrial strength version. I also use their day and night moisturizers and they do not cause me to breakout worse. Confession- I also use Retin A, but I used it for 2 years before I tried Carley's and it alone was not getting the job done and probably made redness/drying worse. My daughter is 13 and is starting to have a little acne. She also has sensitive skin and she has done really well with this cleanser and the moisturizers as well. I also like the mineral foundation, (they send samples), chapstick, and masks this company sells. The website on ebay is very informative and they are quick to ship and respond to any questions.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
None
Cons:
Dried out my face, customer service is TERRIBLE, asked for my money back and didn't get it, didn't clear my acne, the spot treatment that is supposed to work overnight doesn't work at all.... and for what you're getting is it severely OVERPRICED!!!! Highly NOT recommended!!
I am so disappointed with this company as a whole. I ordered the trial and was automatically billed for $70 for 3 months worth of treatment without my knowledge! I absolutetly cannot stand that type of scam. That is why i hate giving out my credit card to those companies. The product did not work for me at all, I asked for a refund and didn't get one and the customer service people are rude and short and extremely dificult to get a hold of. Try another product don't waste $100!

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
COMPLETELY CLEARED MY ACNE IN ONE WEEK
The best benzoyl peroxide out there.
Works fast..atleast for me it did.
Inexpensive.
Cons:
Flakes galore.
Very drying .
Takes about 10 minutes to dry.
I used proactive about three years ago. It worked well for my skin and I rarely had a zit while I was on it. A few months ago, I tried the "new proactiv" which wrecked my skin. I went to the dermatologist who put me on minocycline and differin. The antibiotic helped, but I still wasn't 100% clear. On the verge of tears, I discovered this site and I am so glad I did! I've only been using dans BP for a week and my skin is so clear. Yes it is drying, but supposedly this goes away after a few weeks and I would rather have dry skin (and I mean DRY skin) than broken out skin. Thanks Dan!! :))

Product used: Clinique (Acne Solutions Clear Skin System)
Pros:
Cleared my stubborn acne in about 2 weeks!!
Leaves skin soft
Controls Oil
Cons:
Slightly pricey
Drying at first
Amazing!! I'm sooo happy with this product. At first i was hesitant because I have tried proactiv, countless perscriptions, and every other acne kit out there so as a last resort when trying to cure acne given to me by Bare Minerals foundation I decided to give this a shot. The first few days I used this it dried out my skin and burned when I used it so I was ready to give up but about 4-5 days of continued use my skin became very soft and I started to notice a big difference (and so did my family!), now its only been 2 weeks but so far it's working amazingly, i'd highly reccomend it.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Feels fresh
Cons:
Funky smell, refining mask doesn't work
I've been using proactive for almost 2 years now and it doesn't really seem to clear zits. It takes awhile for the zits to go away, and then when they are finally gone, new ones just pop up. I wouldn't recommend this product to others because it's not very reliable.

*None
I was very apprehensive about trying this product, but felt compelled to after all the great reviews. I don't know how it works, but it does! I only use the pills but the cream is great as a spot treatment. I've been struggilng w/ adult acne at 26 for a few years now, and my skin is now spotless. I cannot believe it! It took me about 2 weeks to see results. HIGHLY RECOMMEND- THIS PRODUCT IS GREAT!!! :)
Pros:
Good quantity
