My old standby soap which was Aloe Vera by Crabtree and Evelyn... was discontinued. This happened when the company was sold to the Chinese. Yes, another corporate blunder and error in judgement. So I had to scramble. I remember that my grandmother had always used Dove. And her tastes in life were pretty spot on. In my desperation, I gave their Sensitive Skin formula a try and really liked it. It smells so sweet and is cleansing without being drying -- very nice and classic packaging as well. I know they make or did make a dish soap and lotions, as well... have not tried them (yet). Five stars for a classic American product.
I have noticed that lately dove soap does not foam at all. It's disappointing to say the least. One takes forever to soap the towel which ends up a futile exercise. The quality has definitely gone down. Will be looking for other options
I love dove! Easy to find in stores and works great! Yes I reccomend this soap!
I bought a 5pk men's dove deodorant 48hr extra fresh. It didn't last not even 24hrs it leaves hard clumps of white residue and left brown stains on my white tee shirts.
Dove bar soap is a rip off - I grew up using Ivory bar soap. Nothing fancy, but it worked and I liked it. Sometime during college everyone started using Dove, so I figured I would give it a try (my friends and the ads told me it wouldn't dry out my skin as much as Ivory). So since then, for the last 15 years, I have been using Dove even though it's more expensive. Nothing spectacular, but no real complaints. My skin was fine, but I kept using Dove out of habit more than anything else.
But last week Ivory was on sale, making it about half the cost of Dove per ounce. I couldn't resist so I tried it. Not only was the Ivory cheaper I discovered that each bar of Ivory last more than twice as long as each bar of Dove! I have no doubt Dove this on purpose to make its customers spend more money on soap. Moreover, I did not find Ivory to be any more drying than Dove.
My conclusion: Dove is trying to pull a fast one over its customers. It prices it as a "luxury" "moisturizing" soap, but in reality it is very similar to other soaps and doesn't last nearly as long. I don't want to calculate the hundreds or perhaps thousands of dollars I have wasted on Dove over the years. I'm back to Ivory and very pleased <img title="Laughing" src="/javascript/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-laughing. Gif" border="0" alt="Laughing" />
Dove deodorant glides on without a strong scent and keeps you dry and protected. It's not cakey or have a strong scent.
Tip for consumers:
They sell sample sizes in CVS.
Products used:
Deodorant
The beauty cream and intense moisturizing cream is a mist for everyone getting older and as you see wrinkles showing up.
I'll never buy another Dove product for their using this BLM phony who ruined a college students life as their spokesperson.
