Pros:

helps keep face clean of acne
Gentle on skin, leaves it soft
No fragrance
very cheap
good for all body cleansing it really is a great product, please try it out it really worked for me ( little bit drying )

Cons:

can be a little drying but worth it
can be a little messy but i use it in the shower and lather it so it really makes no difference

I am not normally one to write reviews but i felt compelled too after trying this out. I have tried everything on my acne, from proactive to daily cleansers such as cetaphil, spectro jel, to prescription medication such as RetinA-Micro& Clindoxyl, to Oxypad wipes. They have either made it worse or havent really done anything. ( other than RetinA-Micro, if you use that stuff religiously every night it should make a difference eventually, but nothing is as easy and as cheap to use then this Dove Beauty Bar for sensitive skin, just keep it in shower and lather it up for 15-30 seconds and gently lather it into your face and you are left feeling clean, smooth, and after a few days, i saw remarkable effects. only downside is it is a little bit drying though but it is still really nice. Who would of thought that just a bar of soap could make such a difference? I have completelty stopped using everything else and just wash my face in the shower with this beauty bar. Give it a try, its cheap, and really works!! ( it did for me atleast, and i have tried everything trust me) i give it a 4/5 only because of the *LITTLE* bit of dry skin, but again its not bad at all its a light dry sensation

Pros:

Clears breakouts
Rids oil for a little while
Inexpensive
Can use on entire body
It's gentle
Lathers really well

Cons:

Doesn't rid oil all day

I LOVE IT!! I've tried EVERYTHING out there. When I say everything, I mean I've spent a good $5000 on acne medications. Everything made me either dry and irritated or it didn't work at all. This is is the first thing that seems to have produced immediate results. I wash my face with this twice a day. At night I use it along with my Clarisonic Mia. After I just use Sea Breeze and I'm finished.

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!

GREAT GREAT
My mom and I have eczema, and neither of us can deal much with heavily scented beauty products. We've always had some variety of Dove beauty bars at our respective homes for a long time, and this particular bar is a good option for the most sensitive of skins. I generally prefer the original (I like the gentle scent) and especially the Winter Care (I'm hoarding this next winter for sure), but I have used many bars of this to get clean without irritating my skin any further.

Pros:

Doesn't strip my skin of oil!
Doesn't irritate my skin!
Smells good!
Lasts forever, I bought two bars for the price of one and one bar lasts me 2-3 months, so cheap!!!

Cons:

**Takes about a month to start seeing results!** I have been using this for two and a half months now.

Routine(face should be washed every 12 hours to help maintain oil balance): At night I take a washcloth and sponge my face with warm water(not hot, hot water means stronger chlorine on your skin if you use tap water which dries your skin out) to remove excess oil, then I lather my washcloth up with this soap so much my tan washcloth becomes white. lol I take it and wipe my face down a few times(your skin is exfoliated without stimulating or aggrivating the sensitive oil glands). I rinse off for a long time and pat my face dry with a towel. I take a q-tip and spot treat any huge pimples with clearisil ultra face wash. In the morning I take a paper towel to blot excess oil off and I wash my face with this soap with just my hands and pat dry with a towel. At first my skin was still oily and itched like crazy from purging but I stuck it through for the first two weeks. Then the most amazing thing happened, my pimples starting coming out my skin, I could litereally just pull them right out!!! Right now I only have 3 pimples on my face and my skin is nice and moisturized without excess oil.

Pros:

Gentle, Calming

Cons:

None

I began breaking out SEVERLY when i hit 30. I tried EVERYTHING..you name it...everything on the market to try to clear it. Then someone recommended Dove and I swear, it is 11 years later and it is the only thing I can use. It keeps my skin moist and clear. Anytime I sway from Dove b/c something looks 'nice', I begin breaking out and need to get back on the Dove for to get my skin back in control. I don't know about others, but i swear by it!

The Best for the price
My face became super sensitive from shaving and ingrown hairs, then dove came to the rescue. Fragranced soaps can sting and this soap is extremely gentle. I personally only use it for my face as it has proven itself to be too gentle for my body. For that I use lever2000.

Pros:

Inexpensive
Works well on acne!
Gentle on skin, leaves it soft
No fragrance

After years of trying to improve my acne, the best cleanser was the simplest and cheapest!! I am always careful to wash off the outer layer before lathering my face, since bar soap can harbor bacteria. Also wash gently! If you scrub too much it can dry out your skin. I follow up with Clinique's Dramatically Different Gel lotion. I feel like my skin is actually LESS oily since using Dove because of the moisturizing! Definitely give this a try.

Pros:

Gentle.
Effective at getting rid of nasty breakouts.
Cleasnses great!

Cons:

Can be a little drying, but who cares!

This soap is all you need if you're suffering with acne. I have stopped using cleasners all together and this soap has just been amazing! My skin sucks so much and it is extremely sensitive so the soap can be a little drying, but I have paired this with Aveeno Clear Complexion moisturizer and it does wonders. Definitely worth a try!
