Product reviews of Dove Sensitive Skin Unscented Beauty Bar, 14 Count
Review: truly unscented, but the bar is too soft and falls apart w/frequent use
Beauty product: 3 Stars
I am allergic to anything scented and can only use soaps that are truly fragrance-free. Some soaps will say they're for sensitive skin, yet they'll still have fragrance in them! Other than Ivory, which is very drying, Dove's Sensitive Skin unscented soap is the only readily available and inexpensive soap I have found that fits the bill.
If you are a frequent hand-washer, though, your hands will still feel dry after using this soap, and you'll need a hand lotion (I used to use Jergen's Ultra Healing, but they discontinued the unscented, so I now use Curel). I am in the kitchen a lot and wash my hands several times a day, so I am constantly applying lotion. Not sure if it's because the soap does such a good job washing that it washes the lotion away, or if this lotion isn't as good at absorbing into my skin as Jergen's was, but I thought I should mention it.
The only other issue that I have with the Dove soap is that, because it is such a soft soap, it doesn't last long (melts easily), especially if you use it for frequent hand-washing. Once-daily use in the shower is fine (as long as you don't leave it sitting in water), and at my master bathroom sink as well. But if I use it at the kitchen sink, within a week or two the bar is falling apart into small, soggy pieces (and I use a tray that doesn't allow it to sit in water). We also make our own glycerin soap and that lasts a lot longer at the kitchen sink.
So it's better than Ivory, not as good as glycerin, but I'd still recommend it (unless you want to buy the soap molds and blocks of glycerin and make your own, because it's crazy expensive already made into bars! Our cost is about $1 per bar homemade). Between the Dove and applying lotion everywhere everyday, I have very soft skin that looks younger than I am.
Review: very smooth
