  • Creamy lather body wash

  • Smoothing hair repair shampoo
  • Effective clinical antiperspirant protection
  • Heavy fragrance body wash
  • Irritating scented formulations
  • Underperforming aluminum-free deodorant
  • Thick, draggy deodorant stick

Dove earns mixed reviews: many say its body washes, bar soaps, and haircare leave skin and hair soft, hydrated, and visibly smoother, while critics cite heavy fragrances, irritating formulas, and questionable ingredients. Reviews praise Sensitive Skin bar soap, Deep Moisture Body Wash, Intensive Repair and Damage Therapy shampoos, Exfoliating Body Polish, and Clinical antiperspirant, but note aluminum-free deodorants underperform, scents can overwhelm, and some products feel thick or build up.

  • 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 really love this brand. I buy a lot of their products for shampoo, conditioner, soaps, deodorants, etc. It always smells great and cleans great. I will continue using this brand for my daily basic needs.

  • I have used multiple DOVE products over the years and always enjoy them, especially the bar soap for sensitive skin. This review is specifically for the bar soap they sold at Target last winter. It's called GINGER BREAD DELIGHT and wow, it smells DELIGHTFUL! I wish you could smell it through my photograph! Usually I'm not a fan of strongly scented items but this one is amazing.

  • My mom’s been using Dove’s pink body cream for over 20 years 💗🧴 — and honestly, I get why! It’s soft, gentle, and leaves the skin feeling so loved and hydrated. Dove just knows how to make products that feel like comfort. Whether it’s their body care or haircare — everything smells amazing, feels nourishing, and never harsh. Always a fave!

  • "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.

  • Dove has plenty of bath & shower products. Lately, I have been using the soap bars (with seasonable varieties), which I have found to be hydrating and smooth as an everyday soap bar. The body scrubs also work well, but some have stronger scents so I tend to be more careful when using the line of products.

  • I like this brand. I have tried other deodorants but I have always ended up buying dove every time. I know there aren’t the greatest ingredients in dove’s deodorant but at least I’m smelling nice and not like BO. I do wish they had the aluminum free one. I would recommend this product. I also like the sensitive skin body wash and lotion as well.

  • 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

  • so. many. chemicals. i wish dove would "get with the times" and look at improving its formulation. heavy scent, heavily irritating. from the body wash to the bars... they could at least come out with a sensitive line!

  • I tried the new whole body deodorant stick. It smells great, but verrrrrrry thick and does not go on easily at all. I’m not sure it’s really working. Also, $14 ! Which is ridiculously high. I would not buy again.

  • Dove has always been a great addition to our household growing up and continue to use it this day. It's gentle on your skin and cleans without a lot of harsh chemicals. And oh my a lot of the stuff smells amazing. Can't be at the price either.
