Dove Beauty Bar

This soap is one of my favourites. It smells great, a really nice clean fresh scent and it lathers well. It definitely leaves my skin feeling softer and moisturised, and doesn't dry it out at all. Its a great price and i would recommend it to a friend.

The smell puts me off

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.

Tips: Moisturise after using.  The 1/4 moisturising lotion claim is not enough to leave skin feeling hydrated.

Value for money

This is a great value for money product. Use like regular soap, but instead of having dry skin when you step out of the shower, you will feel moisturised - yay!

This product is cheap and effective, with eco-friendly packaging (cardboard).

Tips: Great as a hand soap for those with dry or sensitive skin.

staple in my household

my nana used to use Dove soap - so the smell of dove soaps always remind me of her! I personally prefer shower gels but this is a staple in my household and i do still use it every so often. I love the creamy texture and feel of this soap. it lathers easily and feels so soft. It does 'melt' away really quickly if left uncovered in the shower! just something to be aware of otherwise no other concerns at all.

Dove beauty.

I used this for many years growing up as my mum was loyal to Dove. I still use this on occasion when I run out of shower gel. I switched to shower gels a few years ago because I have dry skin and I find them less irritating on my skin.

Dove beauty bars are packaged in a cardboard box. The soap is white, oval shaped and has Dove engraved on it.

It lathers well and has a very creamy texture which makes for a pleasant showering experience. It leaves my skin feeling clean. It also has a beautiful distinctive scent that is not too overpowering. Although Dove claim it's contains 1/4 moisturing lotion I find it quite drying on my skin hence why I gave it only 3 stars.

Tips: Moisturiser after using to prevent dry skin.

Its a good soap.

I have used this soap on and off over the years. I mainly use shower gels now. But it still sits pretty in my guest bathroom. Its a white oval shaped soap with an embossed dove on it. Looks really clean (if you know what I mean?) and pretty.

I used it with my gloves. Very creamy lather and smells divine. Leaves my skin feeling silky but I still have to moisturise it later. I guess it depends on skin types. This was a luxurious brand back home and I used it to wash my face (bad habit) but didnt notice a marked difference. Just an overall softness-which might have been down to my youthfulness :-p

Also leave a fresh scent on your skin for a little bit.

Dove. A basic in my household

Okay before I even start this review, I'll tell you that I am a shower gel girl 95% of the time, and soap doesn't really have a place in my shower unless it's lush. The only other soap i consider using is this one.

This soap comes in a wee cardboard box, the soap is a smooth oval shape with dove printed onto the top of the soap.

This soap smells amazing, it just smells fresh and clean and that's a smell I love!! I know, who would think a soap would smell clean, but this just has the best clean linen type of fragrance mmmm.

I personally find this soap lathers really nicely. It creates a gentle lather which i really like and when your using it.. it smells even better if that were possible!

I find this soap doesn't dry my skin out, but it definitely doesn't make it feel more moisturized either so that's probably a side of this product that doesn't meet up to its claims. Other than that it is a nice basic soap to have in your home.

This is the only product from Dove that i make a conscious effort to repurchase.I buy it from the warehouse when they are $1 ... because that's a bargain. Overall, this soap does the job and smells amazing. Its not an amazing soap, but I would repurchase.

Feel so smooth

I have been using this soap for ten year. Try different solid soap but I always come back to this soap. I love the soap shape and fragrance. Other soap after use your skin makes tight but never happen with this soap.

My go to soap

This soap is always in our shower, never leaves your skin feeling squeaky like some soaps do. Nice fragrance and doesn't react with my daughters sensitive skin. Always lathers up beautifully and the foam is lovely and creamy. Can't beat the price either!

Tips: Use with exfoliating gloves as a cheap pre summer prep your skin treatment

Divine fragrance but just a normal soap

I love solid soap bars and I buy this soap mainly for the fragrance and how it feels on the skin while in the shower. It's not a life-changing product but it always has a place in my bathroom. I buy the soap when they're on sale at The Warehouse for $NZD1.00 and I stock up on 10.

It comes in a simple cardboard box with the Dove logo which is also embossed on the soap. I only use the soap on my body; never on my face because I have sensitive skin and I have never liked the thought of putting soap on my face. It's the standard size and fits nicely into my hand.

It lathers up nicely and the fragrance it gives off under warm water is like clean fresh linen mixed with spring and bit of talcum powder - just delicious to my nose. I tend to get carried away and just stand there and keep lathering the soap because I can't get enough of the fragrance.

I feel the "moisturising properties" are more so limited to the shower. My skin feels moisturised and soft but afterwards I don't notice too much of a difference. This doesn't bother me because I moisturise my body a lot nowadays however for those hoping to avoid moisturising afterwards I don't think this is the soap you're after.
