Not for me

I am a shower gel or foam kind of girl so I don't usually purchase bars of soap as I find them very drying on my already dry and sensitive skin.

I decided to purchase this on a whim as it is advertised to be a "1/4 moisturising cream" and all that jazz so I thought I might actually like it...well I didn't.

The scent is nice light and fresh, it lathers well, feels nice and creamy and definitely cleans the skin, but, I still found this quite drying and found it left my skin feeling tight and dry after use, which isn't ideal.

I wouldn't recommend this to others with a similar skin type and definitely wont be repurchasing this in the future.

very drying

personally i hate dove beauty bars, dove advertises itself to be very hydrating and makes your skin soft. in my opinion this product is very drying and makes a barrier between your skin and water, personally i wuld never use this product agin results may be different for some.

Dove Beauty Bar

My fondness for Dove Beauty Bar goes back to living at home many years ago and mum always having it on hand, so using it always brings back a certain nostalgia.

I tend to always have one of these lurking about in the bathroom, whether for use in the shower in lieu of body wash, as a basic cleanser for my face, or at the hand basin as an alternative to the hand wash.

I love how the light fragrance of the beauty bar, which is pleasant but not overpowering. Dove lathers easy, and I find that it gives a good clean without leaving the skin too 'tight' feeling like normal soap does. I tend to prefer more specialised cleansers for my face as I have acne-prone skin, but I like that Dove is gentle enough that it doesn't cause me to break out if I do end up cleansing with it. I also find that it's pretty good at clearing up body spots as well when they rear their unwanted heads.

If you're after soap that's gentle, not overly-scented and available at your local supermarket, I would recommend Dove and will continue to repurchase myself.

Tips: Dove is pretty versatile if you're travelling and want something for face and body that's compact and won't spill, or you're on a plane and only have your carry-on. Just pop it in a soap travel case and you're good to go!

Soap Saviour

Dove beauty bar is probably the best soap around. I am not normally a big fan of Dove, I have had problems in the past with their moisturizing products - I don't find them very "moisturizing." But this is the one saving grace for Dove for me.

I find that the bar lathers up really well, it feels nourishing and not harsh leaving your skin dry like some soaps can feel. I even use it as a sneaky quick face wash when I'm feeling lazy in the shower and it definitely doesn't feel bad afterwards. Plus as far as soap goes it smells nice and creamy and not intensely floral and fruity like a lot of soaps can be. I don't have any skin irritations but this is one of the best feeling soaps, during and after use, I have ever used short of going to Lush.

Tips: Have a hunt around. I know the warehouse often has sales where it is $1 a bar.

Fave soap for clean, soft skin

This is the best soap product I have ever tried. It leaves my skin feeling clean and soft without drying it out like so many other soap products. My skin is also quite sensitive. but this doesn't irritate it at all.

It is slightly more expensive than other soaps out there, but I think it is worth it for that extra bit of luxury and i will continue to keep buying and using this product.

The soap of all soaps!

As much as I'm a bodywash and liquid soap gal sometimes in life we just need the comforts of a traditional block of soap and this is my go to! Leaves me skin lovely and soft. Doesn't have the nasty intense smell that a lot of other soap bars have. As a teenager I used it as a face soap after a recommendation and it was gentle and moisturizing and did a lot better job then the face products I was using. My face is far to sensitive now and I use something with a lower PH but would actually recommend as a facial soap as well. They don't call it a beauty bar for nothing ;)

Dove beauty bar

Nothing to really rave about. This used to be the number one soap in my household. But since it's replacement, the Dettol soap (we swapped because it's better for my daughters skin when her eczema flares up and gets infected) I realised that soaps all do the same thing. It just comes down to skin types and preference. Don't get me wrong, it's a great soap and I would definitely buy it again, but I just didn't notice any difference with this soap, good or bad actually. So I don't feel like it does what it claims to do, but it hasn't made my skin worse, it hasn't reacted badly to my skin type, or my daughters for that matter and she has incredibly sensitive skin. So that's great :)

I ALWAYS have this in my house!

It is the only solid soap bar I buy! It leaves your skin feeling so soft, smooth and moisturised. It is gentle on sensitive skin and smells great! I cannot fault this soap at all, it is better than any others ive tried. When its wet it foams to a creamy milky type of substance which makes it easy to apply, almost like a watery moisturiser. I love dove beauty bars and would definitely recommend them to everyone reading this review.

Tips: Buy in BULK to get these at a discounted price, and trust me you will not want to buy any other brand after using this soap! :)

The original

Have tried this many times, and works well as a simple cleanser. Haven't had any reactions to it, which is quite pleasing for my sensitive skin, and isn't too fragranced. I feel like fragranced cleansers are nice, but the scent fades so quickly in body washes I've tried, that it isn't worth adding extra fragrance chemicals.
