I started using this instead of the regular formula Dove (and other competitors like Lever) due to a skin irritation. The doctor actually prescribed this soap since it has moisturizers and no irritants. For that, it's certainly the best available- I haven't had a problem since changing to it, and am effectively buying this in bulk now since it appears I need it.

The one major complaint I have about this soap is that apparently one of the things they took out was the binder. Compared even to regular Dove (which isn't particularly known for its durability) this soap has a very short life-span. This is largely due to the fact that when it gets to about a half inch in thickness, it crumbles and disintegrates- and this is through regular use, not abuse like dropping it. This results in a lot of wastage, and a bar usually lasts me about 2-3 weeks. The original Dove lasts at least a month per bar, and some cheaper soaps like Lever 2000 can last a good two months. As such, though these sensitive skin bars are great for your skin, they certainly don't come cheap. I wouldn't recommend you use them unless the regular Dove and/or competitors' soaps cause you skin problems.

I typically have to use hypo-allergenic, pricey feminine wash for my extra sensitive particulars. This Dove bar soap has replaced the expensive feminine products in my shower and works for my entire body and face as well. It's gentle, leaves my skin clean and soft, and last's longer than liquid gel body wash. A GREAT value.

I have very sensitive skin and Dove Sensitive is wonderful, never drys out my skin and doesn't irritate like other soaps. A Definite buy for those who have dry or itchy skin!

I have very dry sensitive skin and I check the pH (with pH measuring strips) of any soap I use. Most soaps, even the expensive ones, have pH in the range 8-9.5, which means they are harsh on the skin and they strip off the natural acidic mantle.
This soap has pH 7, which means its at the point of neutrality from the chemical point of view, and it is affordable.
It cleans very well but does not dry the skin out.
It is by far my favorite soap for the whole body and the only one I have been used in the past few years.
I read some complaining about the short life span of these soap bars. Put them in the refrigerator for longer life.

This soap is one of my favorites. It's inexpensive, doesn't contain harmful ingredients, and the company is one I respect. It even rates high as "green". .. good for you, the environment, and the social cost is minimal. ALL that. ..PLUS it's great soap. What more could you ask for?

I am having ichy and dry skin problem, so the dermertologist recommended this product to me. It is gentle enough to use everyday and everywhere.

I've tried many soaps and body washes, but I've never found anything that works better for my dry, sensitive skin than Dove Sensitive bars. Before finding this soap, regardless of what I used, my skin would be extremely itchy and irritated after showering. I still have occasional skin issues, but this soap is the least-irritating one I've found.

For years I purchased expensive, high end products that claimed to be gentle, calming and non-aggravating for acne. None of them worked as well as I had hoped, and furthermore they often irritated my skin and made my acne worse when used in conjunction with other prescribed acne medications. Since I clearly wasn't choosing the right cleanser on my own, I spoke to my dermatologist and asked what they would recommend. They told me to try this unscented Dove bar soap.

I was a little skeptical at first; however, after a month of using this soap twice a day, I am happy to say that it works wonderfully! My skin looks and feels amazing. Furthermore, when using it with topical acne medications my skin is unbothered and does not become painfully dry as it used to with other face washes. It's very convenient (I now can use the same soap to wash my body and my face which is a time saver!), and best of all it's very reasonably priced and readily available! I no longer spend $20, $30 or even more on facial soaps that don't really work, and I don't have to waste my time hunting them down at specialty stores.

If you have severe acne and/or are looking for a gentle, non-drying, non-comedogenic cleanser that won't break your budget, give this a shot! Don't hesitate to put it on your face, as it really works as an amazing facial cleanser.

This unscented Dove soap bar is highly recommended for those who have Rosacea. It is extremely gentle and effective as a cleanser. I even started using for bathing my infant and gave up buying all those fancy baby soaps.

Dove beauty bars are generally great products with a price that's affordable enough to use as an everyday shower soap. While a little pricier than some soaps, Dove is usually easy enough on the skin to even be used effectively on the face. The sensitive skin bars take this even further for those needing an even gentler cleaning solution. It's great to not need a separate soap for your face and to have soap you can use as much as you want without your skin suffering for it. However, the lack of binding agents is a major negative. This soap CANNOT be left to sit in water or handled more than necessary. Doing so will break up the soap, which, even with care will not have as long a life as most soap bars. This can add a lot to the cost of the product in the long run. So, I would recommend trying the regular dove beauty bar before you go with the sensitive skin formula. However, for those who need something extra gentle, this is certainly worth a purchase.
