Pros:

fragrance free, nice amount of suds, non-drying, inexpensive, works well!

Cons:

none

I started using this after my mom recommended it. She had tried everything for her sensitive skin, and nothing worked for her until this. I started using it during a bout with acne. I had tried Benzaclin, and Differin and nothing has worked as well as this Dove Sensitive Skin bar, Cetaphil moisturizing cream and mineral makeup. But for the occasional pimple, my skin is clear. I have my daughter using the Dove for her moderate to severe acne, and while it alone doesn't clear up her face entirely, it has done the best job at improving it. We tried some very expensive products on her face, and they have always irritated it.

its been a week so far and almost all my cheek pimples are gone and nothing new has formed. I cant believe a regimen (soap+water) this simple can have such major effects. I've been suffering the acne battle for 8months now. Also I started to shave with this soap yesterday and it gives me a smooth shave. All other shaving creams are messy and irritate my skin. I had no micro bumps after the shave. FANTASTIC!

Pros:

-Clears acne
-Actually cleans all that gunk out of your pores unlike the "super duper gentle" cleansers we're always told to use.
-Great for sensitive skin-- no fragrance/ non-comedogenic

Cons:

Can be a tad drying for the face at first but it's perfect for the body

I had moderate acne on my back and this is the only thing I've tried that works absolute wonders. I have NO pimples on my back. Not even one. If I do get any sort of pimple on my back, I just spot treat it with some bp. Now I'm going to start using it on my face because, frankly, I'm sick of feeling like my face is not completely clean after cleansing. A huge cause for acne is clogged pores so I don't see how lightly cleansing your face with a super gentle cleanser (that does not even remove all of my make up) would get rid of my acne.

Pros:

-Leaves skin feeling fresh
-Doesn't cause irritation
-Very mild type of soap

I am a teenager and my acne started to get worse over the years so my parents decided to take me to the dermotologist. Along with two acne creams they gave me two Dove unsented beauty bars because its better than other cleansers.

Pros:

leaves soft skin- used for all skin type
creamy

Cons:

don't lay near anything smelly- it smells weird later on
costs alot for a bar of soap

I need this soap if their body reacts horribly to soaps- this is the soap to use. I stopped using it for a few months- my body felt rough, my face had acne- all the cleansers i bought did not work. So buy!

Pros:

Lathers well
Cleanses thoroughly
Washes away nicely

Cons:

Not good for face (body wash only)
Smell is a bit strange
wish it came in another form besides a bar

This was recommended to me by my dermatologist after I broke out in a rash all over my body from Dial. This cleared up the rash nicely, and I continue to use it because its cheap and works well. I dont care so much for the smell, but it keeps breakouts at bay, although I wouldnt recommend for a facial cleanser as I found it clogged my pores.

Pros:

doesnt irritate my sensitive skin, fragrance free and oil free, helps to clear zits faster,makes my skin bright and radiant,controls oil

Cons:

none

the old dove sensitive skin bar has been discontinued. im using the new dove sensitive skin UNSCENTED BAR. I never tried the old one due to all the plant oils it had in it but this one is great!!! it has worked wonders on my skin(combined with neutrogena acne defense lotion with 2% salicylic acid). i was having a hard time finding the right cleanser for my sensitive skin until i found this. its amazing and it also helps control oil.

Really good. People say not to use soap on your face...yes well, acne medicated washes are way harsher than this soap. The trick is to be gentle. Lukewarm/tepid water, make a lot of lather (thick) and massage this on your face. I like to leave it on for a bit, then wash off with more tepid water. Do not use scrubs, meds or anything. You will see an improvement. I personally find the white orginal works well too.
