SUPER PORE CLOGGING
Okay, so after experiencing clear skin, i decided to ditch my acne products and use dove since all my friends use it and have flawless skin. it did not make my skin breakout but it caused clogged pores on my entire face, when i ran my hands gently on my face it was super bumpy i hated it then all those clogged pores started turning into pimple and are still turning into pimples. I have gotten super depressed because of my bad skin. Do yourself a favour and don't use it, even though you won't breakout right away it is damaging your skin and clogging your pores. back to using items my dermatologist gave me.

Not for the face!!

Pros:

Not a bad body wash

Cons:

Major breakout
Dryness
Not for the face

Dove is renowned for being gentle on your body, but that's only true for the neck down. I use Dove Sensitive bar to wash my body, but i tried washing my face with it and the next day i had a giant pimple on my face and tenderness and redness! What gives, Dove? How can you claim your soap is gentle and "sensitive" and yet it made me breakout? If i could turn back time, i would not have used it on my face. Now i have to wait out this breakout. Arrgh!

Hello...If that pimple showed up overnight most likely it wasn't from the Dove. Pimples take 2-4 weeks to appear. I, too, am a high end beauty line user. However, after I was burned by a chemical peel the only thing I could use was Dove for 2-3 days. For some reason my skin appeared calmer and clearer. Paula of Paula's choice says that it isn't good for your face and suggests other liquid cleansers. See her site at [link removed] for a lst of cleansers. But to those that are exeperiencing beautiful skin...continue using it, because "if it ain't broke don't fix it!" I, too, will continue using Dove with my Clarisonic. Best wishes to all:)!

AVOID! Pore clogging ingredients!
Do not use regular soap, let alone Dove, on your face...and maybe even on other parts of your body. Unfortunately, I found out too late that it has sodium tallowate and coconut acids, which leave a thick film and are extremely pore clogging. I switched because salicylic acid was just irritating me too much, but sadly this soap ended up just causing more issues. While my skin's underlying texture isn't red and bumpy anymore, I now have actual zits in places I never even did. My forehead is usually 95% clear; I used this soap for maybe 2 days at the most, twice a day, and now I have four very painful, itchy WHITEHEADS. I'm so embarrassed, I cannot even cover them and they're quite red, nor do I want to pop them and cause scars. The bar also gave me a few deep clogs on the bottom half of my face that's acne-prone, where I've been clear. Just avoid this, it's not a cheap cure to fix your acne!

smells old
I have been using Sensitive for 5yrs. now. I bought some recently and it really smells bad. I thought it was my daughter not washing the towels correctly. To my amazement it is the soap. It reminds of old cooking oil. I buy the family pack and now money down the drain.

Yeah, that's the way unscented soap smells, lady. You actually wasted it?

Be nice, Human Doing. I think it has a funny smell too, even though it's unscented. Who cares if she wasted it:)

Pros:

nothing except a very light lather.

Cons:

makes skin
-dry
-itchy
-red
- even more oily
- irritated

OK, at first it worked very well at keeping my skin soft, that was a month ago. idk why, i switched even more soaps and i came back and now my skin hates it. my chin hurts because i just know pimples are starting to erupt. i already have 3 on my chin. i HATE THIS. if this is sensitive skin bar soap then soemthing must be wrong with it. I WOULD USE IT IF I DIDNT HAVE ACNE. F**K THIS.

Pros:

Cons:

Breakots!

Ok so this is the WORST product i have EVER used. I started using this product around at the end of January of 2010, before i always had light acne..well i never considered it to be acne, i would just get the occasional pimple, before dove i started to use the neutrogena salycic acid thing, and it made my skin PERFECT, but i ran out and was too lazy to buy the cleanser again so i found this beauty bar and started using it ( thinking it would do nothing to my skin) well i was very wrong, by May i had the worst acne of my life, i got it all at the cheeks ( i think its the cheeks) basiclly where men grow beards is where i got it, and i tried using other products to get rid of it but nothing has been able to change the condition of my skin not even the neatrogena which made my skin perfect before, Now more than a year later i still have awful acne , and i dont know what to do with my face anymore. i hate this saop, if only i could go back in time and stop myself from using it .
