| Great soap BUT not as "mild" as it claims - read on! | |
| I've used all versions of Dove soaps successfully for years, but "successful" for *me* means not using it on my face *ever* & not using it on my chest or back during the summer, when those areas of my skin become oilier than in cooler weather & more prone to break-outs. However, this soap *is* very moisturizing to the skin & I love using it in the shower during the winter. My daughter, who has dry skin year-round, uses it successfully year-round & it keeps *her* skin smooth & soft. It is so mild compared to most commerical bar soaps, in fact, that my pediatrician recommended using it as my daughter's bath soap when she was still an infant. However, if your skin is at all prone to breakouts, use something else for your face & any other susceptible areas. Although the claim is that each bar contains "1/4 cup of moisturizing lotion," in fact, the moisturizing components are derived principally from animal tallow (sodium tallowate), & coconuts (Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, Coconut Acid, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Sodium Cocoate or Sodium Palm Kernelate), both of which can aggravate or trigger breakouts & blackheads in those susceptible to acne (see "Don't Go to the Cosmetics Counter without Me" by Paula Begoun). Moreover, take note before buying that the *principal* difference between the "sensitive skin" version & the standard formulation is that the "sensitive" version has no fragrance or coloring agents & includes some trace amounts of various botanical oils -- which SOME people ARE sensitive to!!!! Read. The. Label. Forewarned is forearmed!!! | |
 The BEST for sensitive skin... | |
| I have used Dove, Sensitive Skin for several years and it is the best soap that I have found for sensitive skin or for those who are allergic to scents and perfumes in bath products. It lathers fully and not "dryly" like some soaps geared for sensitive skin. I urge you to try this soap, especially if you have allergies. I love it! | |
| It's soap! | |
| In review of soap I will say that it makes lather and gets me clean. Then I smell better. What else do you want to know? I like that I do not end up smelling like a flower and attracting bees. Actually, my wimpy skin dries out less with this soap than with most other soaps. And that's a good thing. |
