Not for oily or acne prone skin
This soap was recommend to me after a bout of severe winter itch. It was recommended to use fragrance free products. My skin is too sensitive to use any of the regular Dove beauty bars or body washes so i was a little hesitant to use this. I normally use the Caress bar. My winter itch stopped immediatly after using this soap. It was so moisturing i didnt even need to apply lotion after bathing. But after a couple of weeks into using it i started to break out with huge acne cysts on my upper arms, back and face. I noticed that it was making me super oily thus clogging my pores. Im going back to my Caress.

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:

Made skin glow and vibrant

Cons:

Clogs pores and acne breakout

I wouldnt purchase the soap again. I only tried the beauty bar because my grandmother recommended. I will go back to using dial white antibacterial soap because it keeps my face pimple free majority of the time.

Pros:

Very gentle
Smells good
No perfume or artificial colors

Cons:

Contains Sodium Lauryl Sulfate

I used Dove Energy Glow all over my face and body for years until it went off the market. I tried using the sensitive bar, but my face started breaking out again! I figured out that it was because it has SLS in it. The Energy Glow, Pink, and Gentle Exfoliating bars don't. I would recommend using the Pink bar instead. I love Dove bars, but wish that they would all be SLS free.

Pros:

great for the body

Cons:

clogged pores, caused more breakouts

my doctor at one point recommended dove soap for my acne prone skin and while using it I was constantly having breakouts, my pores were always clogged and my skin just didn't feel clean. I figured it was just my skin and now the soap causing that since my dr and dermatologists all recommend this soap for acne. I recently switched to Spectro Jel and my skin has never looked better. for the first time in months and months I have my smooth clear skin back. I'm sure it works for some people but unfortunately it just caused more problems for me.

Pros:

Takes away redness
Good lather

Cons:

Leaves my skin very dry
Doesn't do anything for my acne

Perhaps I just have VERY dry skin but this soap dried out my skin very badly. Did an amazing job on my body though, Just didn't do much for my face. I admit, I only gave it around three days to work but the drying out of my skin got pretty annoying.

Pros:

smells nice, and cleans face well, only to be used in shower once. Does dry out my face, but i guess thats good because i have oily skin. At night just rinse my face with cold water, and repeat the same process in the morning.

Cons:

None

This soap is very good to use in the shower in the morning or later on in the afternoon after work out. At night I just rinse my face with cold water, and repeat the same process in the morning. I use a scrub every 3 days, and a mask every sunday evening. I do not use any astrigents or toners because once washing my face with dove soap bar, all the dirt and oil has already been removed so i would need to make my face any dryer because i will just make my face produce more oil. Anyway bottom line try dove :Dx

Pros:

usually fine

Cons:

this box of two contained fragrance inspite of the box label that reads "sensitive skin unscented" beauty bar.

what in the past has been unscented soap that i can tolerate has now become a highly scented soap inspite of what the label says. I would use extreme caution with this product if you are sensitive to fragrances. Dont believe the label - have someone with an allergy problem smell the box before purchase.
