Amazing beauty bar!

Very good beauty bar for the face! I've been using this for years now and it's the best brand yet. It's not soap. It's a beauty bar that doesn't dry out the skin, but leaves it moisturized. It cleans my skin so well and you feel the cleanliness at the end of each and every wash. I use this beauty bar 2x daily, along with Differin Gel and my acne is reduced a whole lot. Please don't stop making this beauty bar. This is the only one I use because I can't stand using any other brand or beauty bar because most of them are scented, which irritates my skin

Better than ANY face wash I've tried.
Until I started using this skin bar about two weeks ago, my skin had been a mess my whole life. I had horrible spotty skin from my teenage years. Another problem too? My skin is super sensitive! The end result, is I have been living with bumpy, spotty, nasty skin that had oily patches in some places, but dry, red and sensitive patches elsewhere, like under my eyes. I've tried so many cheap and expensive liquid face washes, but NOTHING compares to this dove sensitive bar. Everything else I tried was either too harsh (and made the dry/sensitive parts of my skin redder and sorer) or if the product wasn't strong enough or it was too moisturising or oily, it wouldn't deal with my oily spotty skin and it might even make it worse Over many years, I've tried face washes from: Clinique, skinceuticals, la roche posay, neutrogena, clearasil, clean & clear, eucerin, simple, olay, nivea, garnier, st. ives, freederm, cetaphil..and many, many more! I've tried most of these companies 'normal skin' formulas, as well as their oily/acne/spot formulas, and sensitive skin formulas. I started using a dove beauty bar [sensitive formula] about two weeks ago on my face and my skin has improved by about 95%. So radical the improvement, it looks like I'm wearing a thin layer of foundation across my face, it has perfected it that well. My skin was clogged, bumpy, with spots and sometimes cystic acne around my chin. I was used to this my whole life, but it is now dissapearing into nothing. In it's place, is smooth, plump, healthy looking skin. These bars are an absolute miracle. It has a strange, double-benefit. It seems to target the spots and clogged pores in your skin, BUT it miraculously also leaves the rest of your face incredibly moisturised, smooth and plump! But, it doesn't moisturise my face in a way which contributes to further breakouts. Finally, it is an absolute pleasure to use. The bars are so luxuriously foamy, milky and soft when lathered between the hands and it never causes stinging or irritation to my face. I can use it close to my eyes with no ill-effect. I suspect I have been duped into buying liquid face washes all these years, because I've always assumed that something designed 'as a face wash' is going to be much better than a dove bar, which I thought [wrongly] was only for your body. The only problem is, I'm now turning into a bit of a narcissist. I keep looking into mirrors and reflective surfaces and taking photos of my skin with my phone and boasting to my partner about how my skin looks like it has been photographed using my phones beauty-filter lol.

This cleared my acne
I've tried a lot of things to get my acne under control and nothing worked until I started using something so simple as a bar of soap. I was doing too much to my face and using too many products that are supposed to "help" with acne. Not only did I feel my skin was getting worse but I was getting red scaly patches from over drying. I stopped everything and started using the Dove sensitive skin and this balanced my skin perfectly. My skin looks so soft and healthy and I'm absolutely amazed. I only tried this because I started using it on my back and my skin cleared up there too and looked so soft and nice. I was like well if it can clear up my back what can it do to my face. What do I have to lose. Well, It worked! Sometimes less really is more, ladies. :) P.s. I'm not sure why some people are saying that Dove leaves a soap film that clogs pores. My skin feels fresh and clean but not over dried after using this and it definitely doesn't feel like there is a film left on my face. I suppose if those people live in areas where their water is soft it would be harder to rinse the soap off but otherwise I don't understand what they would be talking about because Dove even advertises that it is not like other soaps that leave a film. All I know is it worked to clear my acne.

I think it's because a lot of people don't realize that they have to use a washcloth with it. I don't think anybody remembers that's how most are to wash.

Help..
I am now deciding if I shall use Dove beauty bar as a substitute to Cetaphil cleanser. Cetaphil is so expensive and I cant afford the price. Does Dove soap is as gentle as Cetaphil?

Yes and in fact Dove is a little kinder to your skin than cetaphil

Not sure if you tried this yet, but don't use this. It leaves a tacky, thick and pore-clogging film on your face and will cause more acne.

I just washed my face with this and there is nothing thick or tacky on it. It rinsed off fine. I'm not sure why some people say they are experiencing this.

I think it depends on the quality of water (hard vs soft) and how people use it such as rubbing the bar directly on their face or not using a washcloth with it. An example would be to rub the soap into the washcloth make a lather on the washcloth and then wash the face.

Please don't use cetaphil continue with dove if you have the pink one after using cetaphil for my face and apply little cream I will be feeling some sensitive burns to me cetaphil is hard for my face

It works!!!
I suffered with cystic acne for about 6 months before it finally cleared up. I tried all the face washes (spectrogel, cera ve, coconut oil) before my mom finally convinced me to try dove soap! I didn't want to because I have dry skin and eczema and I thought it would just be too harsh and make it worse. But dove actually is not drying at all and it removes make up so well. I do not credit dove soap as clearing up my acne because it was caused internally (diet, hydration, stress, etc) but it seriously helped and now even acne free I still use it every night to wash my face! It's gentle and cheap and for me it works really well!

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.

love dove
I have combo/oily skin with a moderate tendency to break out if using new products. Started using Dove to wash my face and haven't had any issues at all. My face doesn't even feel tight or dry after using this. No break outs whatsoever. I've neglected all my other facial cleansers because this does the trick.

Only thing that helped smooth and soften my face
I have hyper-pigmentation and cystic acne. I am very surprised how well this soap works on my face because nothing else has worked. The unscented soap has smoothed out some acne scarring and also leaves my face very, very soft. It is very soothing to my skin. Hope this helps someone, product is also very well priced.
