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:

Very cheap
Lasts a long time
Gentle
Creamy lather

Cons:

A little drying
Not strong enough

I was so excited to see that this simple dove bar was the solution to many people's acne. I decided to give it a try and see if it could help my cystic acne, unfortunately it was a little too gentle for my face. I really liked the creamy lather and clean feeling i felt after using this, however it wasn't too effective at preventing breakouts for me, and was a little drying. Instead i use it as a shoulders chest and back wash for acne instead and it works wonders. Prevents all body acne breakouts. This product would probably be more effective for someone with mild to moderate 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:

It is inexpensive and works better than anything else I've tried. I've never had problems with it being drying, although I have very oily skin so that could be why.

Cons:

As far as I know, it is a glorified soap, so the negatives associated with using soap products are there. It does also have the tendency to melt if it gets wet too much which not only means you're out of your product, it also leaves a mess.

For the past decade I have been dealing with acne (I am twenty-two now). I used Retin-A in high school, I tried birth control and I tried pretty much every cream, cleanser and over the counter acne remedy that is out there. I ran out of my face cleanser last year and was low on money so I was stuck washing my face with my Dove soap. My skin became better than it had looked in years. I don't think that this would work for everybody and if someone has problems with drying I think this might not be the best product but for me it is gentle, cleansing and effective.
