Pros:

a bit pricy

Cons:

lathers well, fresh-smelling, easy to find (sold everywhere)

I use it twice a day on my face. The first couple of times I used it, it made my face feel a bit dry, in the area where the cheek meets the chin. But since then, I don't have dryness and don't need to use moisturiser each time I wash. I like the smell and look of this soap and the way it lathers well even in Jerusalem where the water is hard. I haven't yet noticed that I have less spots on my face, but it's certainly no worse than usual and this is much cheaper than a tube of face wash and probably gentler too.

Pros:

- fragrance free
- simple, cheap
- effective

Cons:

- melts fast if not put in a good draining soap dish
- leaves a film if not rinsed well

My face was breaking out more than usual, and I had no idea why. I decided to just kick my cleanser and use Dove Sensitive Skin soap for a week. Already I can see an improvement in the zits-- they're gone! And my skin has a more even, brighter texture to it. It's soft, and smooth like a baby's bottom! I like that it is very gentle and doesn't dry me out, but also is effective in removing dirt/oil/makeup. Try it!

Better than ANY face wash I've tried.
Until I started using this skin bar about two weeks ago, my skin had been a mess my whole life. I had horrible spotty skin from my teenage years. Another problem too? My skin is super sensitive! The end result, is I have been living with bumpy, spotty, nasty skin that had oily patches in some places, but dry, red and sensitive patches elsewhere, like under my eyes. I've tried so many cheap and expensive liquid face washes, but NOTHING compares to this dove sensitive bar. Everything else I tried was either too harsh (and made the dry/sensitive parts of my skin redder and sorer) or if the product wasn't strong enough or it was too moisturising or oily, it wouldn't deal with my oily spotty skin and it might even make it worse Over many years, I've tried face washes from: Clinique, skinceuticals, la roche posay, neutrogena, clearasil, clean & clear, eucerin, simple, olay, nivea, garnier, st. ives, freederm, cetaphil..and many, many more! I've tried most of these companies 'normal skin' formulas, as well as their oily/acne/spot formulas, and sensitive skin formulas. I started using a dove beauty bar [sensitive formula] about two weeks ago on my face and my skin has improved by about 95%. So radical the improvement, it looks like I'm wearing a thin layer of foundation across my face, it has perfected it that well. My skin was clogged, bumpy, with spots and sometimes cystic acne around my chin. I was used to this my whole life, but it is now dissapearing into nothing. In it's place, is smooth, plump, healthy looking skin. These bars are an absolute miracle. It has a strange, double-benefit. It seems to target the spots and clogged pores in your skin, BUT it miraculously also leaves the rest of your face incredibly moisturised, smooth and plump! But, it doesn't moisturise my face in a way which contributes to further breakouts. Finally, it is an absolute pleasure to use. The bars are so luxuriously foamy, milky and soft when lathered between the hands and it never causes stinging or irritation to my face. I can use it close to my eyes with no ill-effect. I suspect I have been duped into buying liquid face washes all these years, because I've always assumed that something designed 'as a face wash' is going to be much better than a dove bar, which I thought [wrongly] was only for your body. The only problem is, I'm now turning into a bit of a narcissist. I keep looking into mirrors and reflective surfaces and taking photos of my skin with my phone and boasting to my partner about how my skin looks like it has been photographed using my phones beauty-filter lol.

Pros:

Smells nice
Inexpensive
Good lather

Cons:

Irritating

I found this bar aggravated the acne on my chest and back. I'm not sure which ingredient in the Dove bar was so irritating, but I had to quit using it. I now use the Cetaphil Antibacterial bar and have great results.

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:

It feels like its doing a ok job when cleansing the face

Cons:

very drying
mild redness
doesnt really do anything for acne or active pimples

Its feel ok but I think its really like anyother product. Not really a acne cleanser just a cleanser. Very drying and it hurts when first used. I only been using it for a week and it seems there are pimples then before. Im 28 male and have mild to moderate acne here and there but can never figure out whats best for me. Been on Accutane and minocin and whats next?
