Dove unveiled its Essential Nutrients face care line in 2003. The skin care experts at Dove paid special attention to the use of lipids (nutrients found naturally in healthy skin) to help replace some of the skin nutrients that are lost on a daily basis. Weather, sun exposure, and daily washing routines contribute to lipid depletion in the skin. Dove selected several "essential nutrients" to add to the Essential Nutrients line, including fatty acids (stearic, oleic, and linoleic), ceramides (the current "it" cosmetic ingredient), and cholesterol. Fatty acids are believed to help maintain the suppleness and elasticity of skin, while ceramides and cholesterol improve the outer layer barrier function and improve skin's moisture balance. Containing vitamins, minerals, green tea extract, and fresh spring water, the new Dove skin products are excellent - and are reasonably priced and readily available. I've been using the Cleansing Pillows for about six months now, and they are so convenient and effective - they've become a staple in my bathroom. They also travel well - an added benefit!

The oval-shaped "pillows" have one smooth side and one lightly textured side, so you can choose to exfoliate while cleaning, or not. When activated with warm running water, these unique dual-textured pillows produces a rich, thick lather that provides nutrients found naturally in skin. They clean deeply, yet gently, leaving your skin with a fresh, healthy glow. And, they won't dry your skin or leave it feeling tight, although I always moisturize after cleansing.

I usually alternate between the exfoliating side and the smooth side, to give my skin a little break between exfoliations. The cleansing pillows are truly excellent. I have tried many expensive top-of-the-line facial cleansing products. These are sooo inexpensive and work wonderfully well - even for the most sensitive skin. Highly recommended!

Good for travel... no liquids to leak... and doesn't count toward the total liquid amount you're allowed to carry when flying.
