I'm a gel body wash user but when out of that I always have these bars on hand and I get them when they're on special for 4 packs or more. As they do come in value packs. Also when I run out face wash this is my go to.
The packaging is firm and if in need to travel you can use it for this if you don't have a traveling soap box. It's durable and simple with and elegance of gold and blue.
I love the molding of this soap,making it easy to hold during use. The dove picture,engraving gives it some elegance also a bonus and it lasts on the soap almost all the way to the end of the soap.
The scent is a delicate deliciously fresh scent. It is soft to skin and feels soothing moisturizing.
Lathers up nice and when using on your face it's non irritating especially if you mistakingly get it in your eye.
Definitely different to other bars. The size is also smaller then average soap bars, this doesn't matter as it's long lasting....
This is definitely value for money when purchased in packs and leaves your skin feeling clean, soft and moist.
The bar leaves no residue in the shower either in the soap dish or the shower floor. It dries up after use and simply waits for next use. It doesn't change it's shape until the bitter end.
I'm also teaching my teen boy to use this on his face during shower just to prep for those up coming skin battles that occur in your teens.
Dove love
Being a frequent user of the Dove beauty bar I can say with confidence that I have had nothing but positve results.
I usually buy them in bulk in a pack of 4 or 6 as i find that they work out cheaper. Another reason for this is the fact that once I've finished one bar I can rest assured that I will always be able to grab a new one out of my cupboard Without having to try and remember to put it down on my shopping list for my next visit to the supermarket.
The packaging is a simple yet elegant rectangular box (which is easy to open) -with the usual blue and white colour scheme and the Dove logo printed on the front.
The elegance of the box extends to the actual bar itself. It not your usual bulky looking rectangular bar but rather a white, smooth, oval shape with a bit of a curve, allowing the bar to sit perfectly in the arch of your hand. I find that some bars are so big and bulky. I can never get a proper grip on it especially when its wet And it almost always seem to go flying around in my shower leaving it full of dents from all the falling its had to endure. thanks to the shape and size of the Dove bar I almost never drop it. You might find that other bars seem to loose its shape after about 3 washes but the Dove bar really keeps its shape for quite a while (depending on how rough you are with it...I've seen some Scarry looking bars of soap)
I find that lots of bars seem to get that gooeyness underneath if it's left sitting in your shower holder but I've never experienced this with Dove.
as for the smell -It has a pure, fresh Scent. Not too over powering and not too mild that it's not able to leave you smelling like you want to feel (after a long relaxing shower or bath) - clean and fresh.
It lathers up really well and fast on a shower scrunchie. I find that even though the bar is a wee bit smaller than your usual bar of soap it lasts for quite a long time And you don't have to rub much onto your scrunchie.
For a small bar it really does wonders to my skin. I've tried other soaps in the past, which almost always left my skin feeling tight and dry. Nothing came close to the amount of moisture and softness I've received from the Dove beauty bar. I even use it on my face when im out of face wash its THAT gentle on your skin.
I absolutely LOVE this product and will definitely recommend it to anyone looking for an affordable beauty bar.
Tips: Perfect for those who find that regular bars leave their skin feeling tight and dry.
