Pros:

Big bottle lasts a while, natural soap and sample moisturizes come with it

Cons:

I believe the product changed

I've been using this product for about a year now. This last time I received my bottle, as soon as I put it on, it smelt and had a different texture. In the past, I have had great luck with the product and it cleared up my skin nicely. Since I gotten this bottle, I've been breaking out soooo badly. I sent an email asking if the product changed, and they said no and even sent me a new bottle, I've been using it for a few days and am still breaking out. Has anyone else noticed a difference in the product?!?

Pros:

Smooth skin, not necessarily pimple-free though
All natural
AMAZING customer service
Great pricing

Cons:

Everything else
Scars your skin
Bigger cysts begin to develop under your skin
Doesn't feel like it, but scratches your skin and damages

Honestly, all the bad reviews that people left seem to be the only ones that are valid

I broke out even more after using this, and though it may have gotten rid of pimples, where the pimples once were, were dark, deep scars that wouldn't go away even after 3 months. It was as if it just scratched it off. I did give it time, as they told me to be patient over and over, but just didn't work for me. Hoped for the miracle everyone promised it would be, but good luck to you if you try it!

Pros:

This product works great! I have always had a problem with acne and finding something affordable that works is nearly impossible. Until I found this product.

Cons:

None. My skin has been acne free since I started using it.

This is the best affordable acne product on the market today!! I will continue to use it faithfully.

Pros:

cleared skin
it works!
no chemicals
keeps new acne from forming

Cons:

occasionally stains towels and clothes
can take time to work

first of all, this is the first time ive ever taken the time to post a review of a product ive seen on this website. for years ive had light/moderate acne, it was never severe but i definitely had days where i didnt want to leave the house and i felt insecure even with makeup on. sometimes i got my face 90% clear but then i would constantly wake up with new pimples forming. the product did take some time to work but after about 3 weeks, i saw my skin getting better and better. ive used carleys for about 7 months now, every so often i may get a minor breakout(usually around my period) but carleys has significantly helped my skin and kept it clear when no other products worked. believe me i tried over 50 products over the years...yes even proactive and murad. i use the day lotion and tamanu cream (to treat any redness) with the face wash every morning and night. for any person that may be doubting any reviews the see on here about carleys...you have to understand that not every product that has good reviews is going to work for you. everyones skin is different and it will react different. while i cant promise it will work for you, i can tell you that i 100% back and believe in this product, and it has been the ONLY thing that has given me clear skin again.

Pros:

i love this product! I am a 54 year old woman who has had problems with bumps and breakouts my whole life, and I discovered this product about 10 years ago, and i now have skin worthy of an ivory soap girl! An old girl, yeah, but clear and healthy. i think i've finally gotten my daughters to give up all the packaged chemically infused products and switch...a VERY smart move!

Cons:

None...although I didn't care for the shampoo.

A simple, healthy alternative to the heavily marketed "cures" out there...and this one works! And besides, it feels good to support a truly "home grown" business!

Pros:

Cost effective acne solution that really works!

Cons:

None

I have been purchasing the Kick Ass for severe acne for a couple of years now. It is the ONLY acne product that has handled my lifelong acne. I love how I feel '˜clean & fresh' after I use it. This product along with the natural soap are amazing!!!! Their customer service is second to none. Every time I order I am still astounded at how quickly my order arrives. The generous size samples they always include have been the perfect size to take with me when I travel. Thank you for these outstanding products. Keep up the good work.

Pros:

the bar soap was easy to wash off

Cons:

this stuff JACKED my face up
smells bad
time consuming
dry skin

When i started using this, I would normally have one to two pimples on my face. By the end of using this, I had cystic pimples all over my face (which i RARELY got before using this), and dry/flakey skin. I REALLY wish i would have never used this. I'm pretty hesitant to believe that this many people have had success using it.

Pros:

Eliminates acne
Keeps skin looking young
Mostly natural
You wash off the BP, so it probably won't bleach your clothes or blankets or make you more sensitive to sunlight
Great customer service
Really inexpensive

Cons:

You have to buy a bunch of white washcloths and use a fresh one every time
You can't buy it in stores

Here's the deal. I've been on ProActiv, Tazorac, high doses of benzoyl peroxide, and oral antibiotics before. I'm a female in my early twenties, and I've had adult acne for the past five years. I never had horrible cystic acne, but I had a severe amount of papules and pustules all over my face, plus a few cysts now and then. Over the past month, I've cleared my skin completely using Carley's. I was about 95% clear after three weeks, but I wanted to wait to write a review just to make sure it wasn't a fluke. Now I'm 100% zit-free! I used the Industrial Strength Kick A** kind, and I followed the instructions almost exactly. The only thing I did differently was I started using the acne wash twice a day to speed up the clearing process (they tell you to use the wash and soap once a day and then just the soap the other time to wash off make-up/sweat). I'm not sure if that's recommended, but it worked! I know there's a lot of controversy over these reviews, and I'm not sure what to say about that. (Although I have to make this observation: it does seem like the naysayers are all using the same scare tactics by saying "I broke out in horrible cysts and now I have permanent scars!" I also just find that unlikely.) Anyway, I'm just telling you that it worked for me, so calm the heck down. One thing I used to hate about the BP products my dermo put me on is that they were so harsh and drying that they'd leave me looking really old and wrinkled. You wash the BP off in Carley's regime, so that's not the case. And when I use their fab day moisturizer, I think I look really glowing and youthful! Basically, try it. Don't get your hopes up, because everyone's different and it may not work for you. But they'll give you your money back in full if it doesn't, and the guy will respond to your questions via email within a couple hours. Plus, $21 for a few months? After prescriptions, that's nothing.
