Dove Beauty Bar Review

The fresh, clean linen smell of Dove Beauty Bar unfortunately reminds me of elderly people, as both my gran and nana use to use it and my hubby's grandparents still do.

The creamy, rich lather leaves my skin feeling clean but unfortunately the distinctive scent has put me off. I just can't get over the "old person" association that my brain seems to have with the scent of this "original" Dove Beauty Bar and although it claims to contain one quarter moisturing lotion, I find it to be quite drying on my face, if I happen to run out of cleanser (it does remove make-up wonderfully though) but it is definitely gentler on my skin than normal soap bars.

Would I recommend or repurchase? Probably not the "original" Dove Beauty Bar because of the scent association that I have. The "extra sensitive" version of this is apparently fragrance-free and the "fresh touch" has cucumber and green tea extracts, so I might give one of those variants a try next.

I decided after the firsttime I had used this soap that this was the soap for me. It moisturisers and leaves your skin feeling silky smooth. Beats the competitors easily I feel.

This soap is a notch above the other ones out there as it has a very fresh scent and feels very moisturizing when applying. Often soaps strip the oils from your skin but I found the Dove bar retained some of the suppleness of my natural skin. My skin is naturally dry and some soaps irritate my hands - especially in the winter whereas the Dove bar was a refreshing change.

Really good for dry skin, smells nice too a bit like cocoa butter, it is not quite like soap- it doesn’t create heaps of bubbles like a normal soap would

As they advertise apparently this is not a soap so it's super creamy and lovely on the skin. I still find it gets a bit messy near the end of the bar. It does smell really good and not something that you seem to get too tired of. It feels really good and my skin doesn't seem to get too dried out. I like it but and I also like that there aren't plastics involved in this which is definitely something that I am thinking about more with trying to reduce plastics. I will probably try to use this again.

Leaves you skin feeling moisturized yet still a little dryness afterwards but if you moisturize this isnt a problem has a fantastic smell and lathers up really nicely soft and gentle can get a little slippery to hold on too but I would for sure go for this before any bar of soap

I don't use this on my face anymore, but my 2 teenage girls do and love it. Their skin is super clean and fresh but it doesn't dry it out as you would think a soap bar would. However, I do use it on my body and love it. It's a really nice soap bar. The only thing I don't like is finding a container for it and it does get a bit messy.

I do like this soap by Dove, it is gentle enough to use from head to toe and I found it didn't dry out my skin as other cheaper products did. My toddler uses this on his skin as well as the sensitive option and we haven't had any issues with his skin. It is a family favorite but does disintegrate quicker than other soaps.

It's a lovely soap and keeps the skin really soft. I love the milky feeling but, it does make my skin dry so follow up with a dove moisturizer.
