Product reviews of Dove Sensitive Skin Nourishing Body Wash, 24 Ounce (Pack of 3)
Review: Redesign bad on so many levels
Beauty product: 2 Stars
I've been using Dove body wash on and off for the last 15 years, and this redesign is disappointing enough that Dove has lost me as a customer. The 'unscented' wash has a strong chemical odor, it no longer lathers well (the old formulation was a bubbly dream), and the bottle shape is terrible. The old top used to be flat and wide, so when you were running low, you could store the bottle upside down and use every last bit.
The results feel OK on my skin, but it doesn't perform better than the previous formulation, and the cons outweigh the putative pros. You can get better body washes that don't stink. Even glycerin gel washes lather more effectively than this one.
Between this redesign and lotion bottles with a pump (that don't reach to the bottom of the bottle), I refuse to be wasteful and throw more money at the manufacturers who count on consumers being too lazy or stupid to figure out a way to access the last 1/4 to 1/3 of the product. (I use the serrated knife to cut the bottom off such bottles and scoop out the *significant* remainder with a clean spatula into a separate jar, giving me up to another month of use.)
Review: Where do they get off, calling this unscented??
Beauty product: 1 Stars
OK, I am sensitive to fragrances and scents in products. I saw this body wash for sensitive skin, with Unscented on the label. I thought, "Great!" Bought it. Tried it, and wondered why my hands smelled. Read the fine print on the label--it has fragrance in it!! It is not unscented!! This is misleading labeling. I thought I would use it by the kitchen sink as a hand wash rather than a body wash, and it has enough fragrance in it that my cat will not eat her food if I touch it after using this product on my hands.
To all the reviewers who love this...OK, maybe the soap part works for your sensitive skin. But if your skin is sensitive to fragrance, like mine, or you have nasal allergies to fragrances, DO NOT buy this product.
Do I sound upset? I am upset--how can a reputable company call a scented product "unscented" and sleep at night? Why not just say "sensitive skin" and leave it at that? Don't make untrue claims on your label.
Review: really thick and moisturizing
Beauty product: 5 Stars
This is a wonderful shower lotion, very thick and moisturizing. I use it as a shave cream and it works great. There is a light smell to it but no added fragrance, so you're just smelling the actual ingredients.
I'm not going to mark it down for the packaging, but for the future I would recommend that Dove put it in a bottle that dispenses from the bottom rather than the top. This body wash is so thick that it's hard to shake it down enough to squeeze it out of the bottle. I lay my bottle flat on the edge of the tub, and that solves the problem but takes up a fair amount of room.
This was a bit more expensive than some bath lotions, but a little goes a loooooong way, so you use less than you would with some of the more watery bath washes I've tried lately.
(Please note that one lukewarm reviewer marked down the product after it was damaged during shipping, and they never actually used it!)
Review: this absolutely has fragrance
Beauty product: 1 Stars
Thanks to Dove's tricky use of wording on this product, I broke out in hives. I'm allergic to "fragrance" which is actually an ingredient (I've learned)--not just a perfume. "Fragrance" is mix of chemicals used to mask other harsh chemical smells. It's in practically everything. So I was thrilled when I saw that this body wash was "unscented." Well, it turns out "unscented" is very different than "fragrance free." When I got this home it smelled suspiciously good so i checked the ingredients and sure enough, "fragrance" is in there. Too bad I'd already used it. I was itching all over for days.
I've trusted Dove's products for a long time, but this turned me off of them for good!
