Reviews mention

  • Creamy, non-stripping body washes
  • Dependable, long-lasting antiperspirant protection
  • Nourishing, smoothing haircare formulas
  • Pleasant, distinctive seasonal fragrances
  • Occasionally heavy, irritating fragrances
  • Aluminum-free deodorants underperform
  • Haircare can cause product buildup
  • Thick, draggy whole body deodorant

Dove earns largely positive reviews for effective, gentle cleansing and dependable antiperspirant performance, with standouts like Deep Moisture Body Wash, Dove Men+Care body wash, Clinical protection, Exfoliating Body Polish, and Damage Therapy haircare delivering soft skin and smoother hair. Reviews also flag drawbacks: some scents run heavy, “aluminum-free” and seasonal variants underperform or irritate sensitive users, buildup can occur with daily haircare, and the new whole body deodorant feels thick and hard to apply.

  • I am currently using this Dove sensitive skin hypoallergenic 24 hour renewing micromoisture body wash for a few months. I liked it enough that I have bought it several times. It goes on smooth, doesn't irritate the skin, and moisturizes a bit.

  • great drugstore brand with products that work at an affordable price. this deodorant is great for true anti-perspirant protection (the version with aluminum - the version without didn't do anything for me)

  • The Dove Sensitive Skin Body Wash is a not that great for the price and doesn't actually work for people with sensitive skin. It is irritating and scented, which doesn't make sense if it's supposedly meant for sensitive skin.

  • My husband loves Dove Men bodywash! It lathers and rinses well without stripping off skin. The scent is refreshing and masculine, it lingers on for a while. The formula takes off any bad odor and sweat, leaving his skin fresh and soft.

  • I've tested Dove Clinical through workouts and stressful situations and I can say it never let me down. Not only it provides effective protection against sweat and odor, it is also very gentle on my skin. I did not experience any irritation and my skin always felt so nourished and soft. The formula doesn't leave white marks and stains on my cloth.

  • This Dove Frosted Plum Berry deodorant is one of my favorite scents, it’s so unique. Though it’s seasonal, you only need to buy once because it lasts such a long time! Such a big fan and would continue to buy!

  • I recently started using dove intensive repair shampoo, conditioner, and conditioning mask per abbey young’s recommendation. I was previously using Ouai shampoo and conditioner for fine hair and my hair always looked and felt dry. Even when I air dry my hair, it’s softer and shinier.

  • Definitely works, just doesn’t feel luxurious. Don’t like the way it smells, but does leave my hair feeling clean. Don’t think the ingredients are great for you either and believe there’s lot of filler in it.

  • I've been using Dove Deep Moisture Body Wash for a few weeks now, and I’m genuinely impressed. From the moment it hits your skin, the texture feels luxuriously creamy, not runny or watery like some body washes. It lathers just enough to feel like it’s cleaning effectively without stripping my skin of its natural oils. The scent is subtle and clean—nothing overpowering, which I really appreciate for daily use. What stands out the most is how soft my skin feels afterward. Even in areas that usually get dry, like my elbows and knees, there’s a noticeable smoothness and hydration that lasts throughout the day.

  • Would rate a 5 star but.. Writing this review because none of my local stores have this product anymore and it’s the only product that actually works for my hair no other product(head and shoulders or others) worked for me.. Did you guys discontinue it?

  • Go to body wash for the autumn and winter. Keeps my skin moisturized and soft. I enjoy how it slightly suds up when using and the creamy feeling when it’s applied. The scent can be a bit much at times but I still use it to hydrate when in the shower.

  • I have been using Dove bar soap and body washes for many years. They have always worked well for me. The fragrance free sensitive skin is the holy grail for my daughter’s eczema. Their new line of aluminum free deodorants have not worked for me though,

  • I love the dove 10-in-1 serum mask from Dove! I lather it on the ends of my hair and let it sit for a couple of minutes and it leaves my ends silky smooth. Highly recommend this product and it’s only $9.99!

  • "Dove is my pampering partner! 🧖‍♀️💆‍♀️ I adore their nourishing body washes and moisturizing beauty bars that leave my skin feeling soft, smooth, and pampered. Their gentle, moisturizing formulas are perfect for everyday use, and I love how they care for my skin without stripping it of its natural oils. Dove is my go-to for a little self-care! 💕"

  • Dove Exfoliating Body Polish 🥭✨ Super creamy and smells amazing! Leaves the skin soft and smooth — perfect for gentle exfoliation. Great for dry or sensitive skin. Highly recommended 💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛

  • Este exfoliante corporal de Dove con azúcar moreno y manteca de coco deja la piel súper suave y con un aroma cálido y delicioso. Exfolia sin irritar y se siente muy cremoso al aplicar. Perfecto para días de spa en casa. 🤎🥥

  • Been using it for a couple of months—cleans well and smells amazing. Great for dry, damaged, or color-treated hair. It leaves my hair soft, smooth, and easy to manage. Just a heads-up: with daily use, it can cause a bit of buildup.

  • I've been using the Dove Damage Therapy for a few weeks now . And I'm very impressed. Not only does it smooth and fix damaged hair, it smells amazing and my hair has never looked better. I highly recommend this shampoo. #dove #shampoo

  • I have used and continue to use a variety of Dove items. Their hair care, deodorant, and soap are all top-quality products. I find they all leave my skin or hair feeling smoother and more replenished than other brands.
