Dove Beauty Bar Review

I was always a shower gel person as I hate the "squeaky clean" feeling soap gives you after using it. So after this was given to me it sat in my drawer until one day I ran out of shower gel and had no other option and I was in love! My nana loved dove soap years ago and I wished I used it long before now.

I love the shape of the bar it's big and curved so holding it and cleaning is easy peasy. I love the scent of all the dove soaps I've used the original one the Shea butter and more recently the cucumber one which is my favourite and its super cheap at the warehouse $1 a bar

The scent lingers on my skin for a good couple of hours after I have showered (as long as I don't moisturiser of course) it leaves my skin feeling clean and fresh. I do find I have to moisturise after using it just because I do have naturally thirsty skin and I don't think it has added moisturiser. I like how it doesn't strip my skin of moisture like some other soaps can. I have also noticed with this soap how long it lasts definitely a lot longer than a lot of others it also doesn't go all mushy if it sits in the shower. Definitely my favourite supermarket soap

While taking stock of my beauty cupboard (one of my favourite hobbies), I found a mini box of this soap, which I think was a supermarket freebie during a Beauty Week. I was almost out of liquid hand soap so have been using this instead.

As a hand soap, it works really well. It lathers up quickly and cleans my hands well. I find it slightly drying, but that may be due to the change in seasons and my hands being predisposed to dryness anyway. The mild scent and 1/4 moisturiser is great for dry and reactive skins.

I have not used this on my body or face as I prefer the portability of liquid products for these. I would consider repurchasing if it was available in a liquid, as I find it tiresome to lather the soap and once you get close to the end the little soap slither is hard to work with.

A good basic soap but I prefer liquid hand soap over bars.

Dove beauty bar is a family favourite. It not only smells good but makes my skin feel soft, clean and moisturised. Always have these stocked in the bathroom.

Who doesn't love the feeling of soft hydrated skin? This is a great all-round family soap. I am personally not fan of solid bar soaps and prefer liquid one but this keeps the husbands skin from being too dry, and is great on the kids as well. It acts as a regular soap should... lathers but doesn't over dry, leaves it feeling balanced and not greasy.

Occasionally we shift away from this brand only to come back to it... and now I buy the liquid version for in the shower as well.

I don't usually use bar soaps as I prefer liquid soap as I find they dry your skin out. But this wasn't the case with this dove bar soap. I found this soap moisturising and it doesn't dry your skin out. This soap is very delicate and gentle on your skin.

When lathered, the soap has a creamy and foamy texture that feels very soft against your skin. It cleans your skin well and removes all the dirt and bacteria for a fresh feeling. It doesn't strip the natural oil away from your skin like other bar soaps do. The smell of this soap reminds me of body lotion. It has a subtle fresh and delicate smell

This bar soap has a very simple look. The bar is a pure white oval shape with the word dove imprinted in the top. The bar is easy to hold and use while you are in the shower. I have small hands, so sometimes I find the bigger bars harder to hold and they tend to slip out of my hands in the shower.

Overall, I like the moisturising properties of this soap, and for this reason I would purchase this soap again.

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.
