Pros:

smells nice, and cleans face well, only to be used in shower once. Does dry out my face, but i guess thats good because i have oily skin. At night just rinse my face with cold water, and repeat the same process in the morning.

Cons:

None

This soap is very good to use in the shower in the morning or later on in the afternoon after work out. At night I just rinse my face with cold water, and repeat the same process in the morning. I use a scrub every 3 days, and a mask every sunday evening. I do not use any astrigents or toners because once washing my face with dove soap bar, all the dirt and oil has already been removed so i would need to make my face any dryer because i will just make my face produce more oil. Anyway bottom line try dove :Dx

Pros:

- Good lather
- Doesn't make face red
- Easy to rinse off

Cons:

- Makes skin feel tight after a minute or two

Okay so I started using this product on July 10th, 2009 and right now it is July 30th,2009 and I can say it has improved my skin very well after 20 days. My skin is brighter, more acne free, I have like only three blemishes, and softer. I went from like 18 pimples to 3 in a short amount of time. Also it is so safe for sensitive skin. Like I have terrible sensitive skin. If I use a product my skin doesn't like it makes my skin burn and flare up, which takes a week to recover. And this doesn't cause any reaction. I love this product so much! I am so glad I found this in my bathroom draw. Lol. Try it. It is worth ever penny and even not what do you have to lose? Acne of course!

Pros:

I've had acne before just an unusal breakout and remember 10 years ago Dove helped.Now I have it again from running, after using lots of other stuff I opted to give Dove another try.Altho not all cleard up after 4 days,it comes recommended!

Cons:

No cons as yet, I dont expect a quick fix, but gona stick with it for now! Its the only product that has made a real difference.

Oh Please try it! Its so cheap lots would think its not posible to do the trick. At 33 I did not see this coming, and I've got it bad, but Dove Soap has given me hope! Advise always use a toner regardless of what you trying, the cleaners more than not leave skin dry, however toner works out the PH balance of the skin, do not complete the routine without it!

Pros:

Helps keep skin looking refreshed and clear. Affordable

Cons:

None the best cleanser and I have tried so many.

I started using Dove when my dermatologist told me to wash with this twice a day and also perscribed Retin A Micro for the nighttime. These two things have worked miracles for my skin. I have battled acne for years and to wake up with beautiful skin everyday is great. I have been doing this for almost three months and it looks better each day. I did use another soap for a couple of days and my skin did get a few pimples. Dove always leaves my skin feeling smooth and fresh.

Pros:

Its the only thing that helped! It make my skin look alot better too in general.

Cons:

Not 100 %, Somtimes got a wierd pimple somwere and it looked even more akward only having one pimple rather then 20

I used this 2 montsh ago to help acne and it worked i swtiched to irory after and started breaking out again latly now I know why. Proactive dose not work. it clogs pors with all that crap. MAKE SURE YOU USED A FREE TOWLE to dry with and Change your pillow case nightly! stay away from alcohal ( drinks )... ITs a killer with acne.

Pros:

Does a better job than any of the 15-20 big and small name brands I've tried! Really cheap, doesn't dry out too much. you should definately try it.

Cons:

Its not a miracle cure, ie it doesn't really keep me completely clear skinned... but it does a good job.

Having had acne for 13 years now... I think the science around the subject is flawed. These companies find ingredients which supposedly kill the acne bacteria or exfoliate the skin or sooth the skin, etc. In the end, most of them end up CONTRIBUTING to the acne and do more harm than good! Dove soap is the only one that I've found that doesn't. It cleans your face, but doesn't actively tackle the acne nor does it make it worse. However, since most other acne treatments are as bad for acne as they are good... Dove leads the pack. Nothing really even comes close in my (13 year!) experience. If you haven't tried it, you really should give it a go for 3-4 weeks at least. For $2-3 what can go wrong?

Pros:

Lathers really well, washes off clean. Convenient to use the same bar soap that sits in your shower anyways for an all body and facial cleanser. 6 bars for $8 is cheap.

Cons:

Smell is pretty blah, but it's unscented so who cares.

I have tried proactiv, natures cure, minocycline, tetracycline, accutane (2X), all sorts of store bought face washes, strict diets, you name it for the last nine years, and the only thing that worked temporarily was the accutane. But without a daily regimen, its hard to maintain that. My acne is pretty mild, but some of the washes and stuff gave me flare ups, and basically each day was a toss up for me. Or they made my skin so tight and dry or sensitive to sun that i was limited to what i enjoyed doing. I read the reviews on here for this stuff and figured what the heck. Been using it for about a week and my skin is now flawless. I would never believe it unless i took a chance and tried it, but it really works incredible. Use it once in the morning and night, following it up with clean and clear soft spf15 face moisturizer at night. Waking up each day to clear, soft, healthy looking skin! TRY IT!

Pros:

It does clean it well and prevent pimples pretty well.

Cons:

Although it's for sensitive skin, it still makes me get flakey, dry skin on my cheeks and tzone.

Bottom line is it's pretty good, but a regular gentle cleanser like Purpose is a lot better. I'm also worried soap actually might clog pores or leave a residue.
