This is the only facial cleanser use anymore. I have sensitive skin and this doesn't irritate it in the slightest. Does leave my skin feeling really dry but that's easily fixed with moisturiser. Makes my skin feel excellent and clean while not irritating it, hard to get for my skin type. Will forever buy and recommend! I got one of my male housemates into using this product, and he has skin quite prone to breaking out and he's found he's had less using this cleanser. Great :)

I bought this product as i was tired of wasting my money for trying diffrent brands, though was in doubts that it would dry out my skin just as a another Dove cleanser did but to my surprise this product was gentle on my skin and I loved it!
Negative side of this product would be i would only be able to use it in winters cz its too gentle to use it in summers. Plus this product has a diffrent texture and smell which i am not familier with so it still feels weired while useing this!
Overall good product, value for money!

This product really cleanses your skin well and because it has a gentle exfolient in it, people with sensitive skin can still use it as its not harsh on your skin while it gives a deep cleansing! I feel fresh after using it and it smells like heaven! I like buy different facial cleansers every time I run out but since I discovered this I will be buying it again and sticking to it! 5/5 from me!

First of all I will say I have been using face washers since I can remember to help rectify my acne-prone skin (which I have grown out of with age) and of all the face washes I've tried, tested, hated and loved, I always seem to come back to this baby! I use MAC studio sculpt throughout the week and Dove is the only one that can truly get all that crap off my skin. This is purely my opinion only and may very person to person though all my girlfriends are using this exact same product and we all agree on the fact it really does the job. I give a 5 overall because It's been a staple face wash of mine since I can remember. Price is a 2 because I pay nothing for this compared to my Clinique system (Which is also amazing). Packaging is great in the tube form because you can never really go wrong with portion sizing.
Overall I must say it's a def product to try out each to their own, after experiencing Acne from mild to serious cases for several years It really has help me over time and I can honestly say Dove has slowly healed my skin from Acne and it's nasty stages. Do try for yourself

The first few days of using this cleanser were great. I loved the fine scrubbing particles and the foamy consistency. My skin did not feel overly dry and tight which is always a plus. Fast forward a week and I began to break out with little bumps in different areas of my face. After discontinuing use, my face cleared up completely. Oh well. At lleast I gave it a try.

Been using this product for a while. Scent is non-offensive, and it cleans my face very well. Leaves me with a dry, tight feeling. Nothing a good moisturiser can't help however, I would prefer to go with something a little more natural. Probably wont buy this again now that I've found LUSH skincare.

It is a very gentle cleanser and doesn't strip my skin. It's not very exfoliating though. It's an ok cleanser for cleaning a bare face, but I need something stronger to completely remove makeup.

Love this scrub! It leaves my face nice and soft and doesn't break me out or dry my skin out like other cleansers tend to do. The exfoliating bits are really fine, but do a really good job. The cleanser itself is thick and foams up nicely in water. I use MAC Studio Tech foundation when I wear makeup, and this cleanser doesn't leave a trace of it behind, which is great because with other cleansers I have to work really hard to get all my makeup off. I have slightly oily skin so I was hesitant to try Dove since their big selling point is moisture, which I was pretty sure my skin has enough of. The bottle says 'for all skin types' so I decided to give it a try. My skin always looks nice and matte after using this, and it surprisingly did a really good job of keeping my from getting oily throughout the day. The only thing I'm not a huge fan of are all the polymers in the cleanser. EDTA...I'm a chem major and I actually made this in the lab for fun one day haha so I'm not sure how good it is for my face. As long as it keeps me from breaking out I'll stick with it though!

First of all, I'm going start with saying I loved this product so much that I stole it from my grandmother.
I find that every time I use this cleanser, my skin is so soft and beautiful. I even take my makeup off with it and it takes off all the product on my face very very well. It doesn't dry out my skin ever.
I love this so much.

I got this in a gift set with Dove body wash and deodarant for Christmas. It's an okay product.. I have actually used up a good portion of it which I don't normally do if a cleanser is terrible. I find that it leaves a bit of a film on my skin and does dry out my skin a bit. NOw that it is summer I am going to start using it again..

Decided to buy this since it was on sale and was even cheaper than it already was! It smells nice, cleanses nicely and I was surprised that the beads in it although small does its job well. My skin was nice and soft afterwards and it didn't feel dry or tuggy either! I wouldn't skip my moisturizing step though. It was very easy to wash off too. Would definitely buy this one again.

I got this in a gift set for Christmas. The exfoliators are quite sparse, so there isn't much to really help remove dead skin. The texture is very creamy. It doesn't dehydrate my skin but I don't feel particularly clean with this cleanser. I don't use it much because of this.

I bought this because I needed a new exfoliating scrub. I was looking for the St Ives scrub, which is the one I have been using, but it wasn't in stock so I settled for this one. Initially, I thought it wouldn't be exfoliating enough because in comparison to the St Ives one it is definitely not as harsh. But I suppose the fact that it is not so harsh allows it to be used everyday while the St Ives should only be used 2-3 times a week.
I really love the smell and the texture of it on my skin, it goes on really smooth and lathers up nicely. It has these microbeads that give it a nice massaging feel in my opinion.
I also like the packaging and it feels comfortable to handle haha. The price is nice too, I got it for AUD$4.50 down from AUD$6.99, which is SO cheap! so I might have to pick up another one while its on sale!

This was my HG cleanser. I would use it twice a day, and it would remove all of my makeup while keeping my skin soft, did not irritate my skin or cause zits, and prevented blackheads. I never had any problems with it, and it was the best cleanser for my skin, as well as one of the few that did not break me out. However, IT HAS BEEN DISCONTINUED. Now I have to search for something just as good and I fear I never will :(

I truly love love love this face wash! I don't like to be too harsh on my face as I feel that leads to breakouts and this face wash is perfect for me. Feels clean, but not too harsh. And it's very cheap. I used to love the St Ives Apricot Scrub for blemish prone skin but I think it was too rough and I feel much better after switching to the Dove. I discovered it in my boyfriend's family's house when we came for weekends and have been using it for months since then. Love it!

This is at the top of my list of favorite facial cleansers. The beads are microscopic, can barely feel the scrubbing power, but I prefer fine granules over chunky ones. I love how my face feels after using this exfoliating cleanser – clean and soft, does not dry out my skin. The light scent is pretty and the product lathers up rather nicely. I always have a tube of this sitting in my shower.

I once tried this cleanser a while ago and I liked it, but found that my skin broke out a little after use. I'm not sure if it was because of this cleanser or not, so I used it again. It doesnt break my skin out now, which i'm extremely happy about because its a great cleanser. It exfoliates and keeps my skin looking clear and smooth. However, I went to buy it again when I ran out and it was NO WHERE to be found!! Still can't find it...so I bought the Gentle Exfoliating Cleansing Pads...which I love too. Not sure which one works better but both make a difference in the way my skin looks and feels, in a good way :) I would recommend either the cleanser or the pads...I think they use the same ingredients for both, but the pads give you more exfoliation.

I've been using this for a few months and i really don't have any complaints. i like the scrubby beads, they don't irritate my skin and are not too harsh. i like the scent. i can't use any products that are too harsh or i break out very badly, so i like dove because i generally trust their products to be gentle, and they deliver. i like the way my skin feels after using this cleanser; clean but not too dry. i follow with moisturizer and my skin is happy. i also like that it is easy to find, because i have a habit of forgetting things when i travel. i can go into an drugstore and pick it up, usually for under 6 dollars. i am very happy with this cleanser and plan on repurchasing

i like this product, but not love. This is like a 2 in 1 cleanser with some tiny beads for scrub while cleaning face. However, there is just not enough beads in there. It is a good cleanser, i keep it for use in the shower and it removes oil and dirt of my face nicely. But it doesn't do a good job on removing dead skins, my face didn't not have those super baby soft feel like after using St Ive scrub. Overall, it works good on my oily skin, didnt not dry out my skin completely nor making it more oily, but just not effective enough. Would not repurchase.

I like a lot about this product... the little exfoliating beads seemed to work and were not too harsh, the fragrance was not too powerful, and it seemed to cleanse my face. I have since moved on to other cleansers, but I have no major complaints about this Dove exfoliator. I used up almost an entire tube and it lasted a long time. If I ever find myself in a tight spot I would probably repurchase this, but for now I use other products.
