i got this yesterday night and started washing my face with it. i took a shower today and i washed my hair with it as well haha =P yeah.

 
I'm a firm believer that the less stuff in terms of creams/lotions/peels etc. that you put on your face, the better ...

 
i've had the WORST skin since november from stress. nothing's cleared it up except...

DOVE!!! i use the sensitive skin one :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> my face isn't 100% clear now, but it's MUCHHHHHHH better. i've only been using it for a week now, but i will never, ever go back to anything else :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
I take the same approach to skincare - less is more. Most of the other cleansers are just packed with harmful stuff...or simply, have toooooo many ingredients. I'm obsessed with checking ingredients now...if the ignredients of a product aren't posted on their website...i find it a little dodgy :D /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Is the Dove soap bar effective at makeup removal? do you use it on your eyes?

 
For me its not effective at all to take MU off! last weekend i stopped round a friends house and i had forgotten my make up remover so i thought id just try dove on its own. Now im suffering big time iv broke out so bad!!! i recommend u take your MU of first then use dove, thats what i usually do and my skin was fine then.

 
thanks for the tip! to be honest i ALWAYS wipe my face and eyes with makeup removing towlettes then wash my face anyway.

 
I just use Dove to take my make up off I don't use anything else but I do use a damp cloth to gently wipe off the dove and I find it removes it really well. I use it on my whole face but I use an eye gel too

I know what you mean about checking ingredients I'm the same! i notice that Clarins don't list their ingredients but only list the plant extracts which I find bit odd!

 
i'm going to buy some today and test it out! Hopefully i'll like it...im using Dove Sensitive Essentials cream cleanser now..i don't have sensitive skin but i like the fact that there is less ingredients :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
UPDATE:

Well I think my favourite cleanser in the whole world is starting to break me out :-(

In the last 2 weeks I've woken up with more and more spots so I've got a Clinique facial soap to try as it doesnt contain detergents (the SA told me Dove does - I know it has a mild detergent that goes in to most baby products etc so I dont think it's as bad as she's making out!) so I'm going to see how I go. If my spots don't clear up then I know it's not my lovely Dove and maybe my moisturiser. Will see how I go anyway!

The SA told me to use a make up remover first before using the facial soap - what's the point in that?! I won't be doing - think it's just a marketing gimmick to get you to buy the whole range! Well expensive!

 
I use Clinique's facial soap, and its brilliant! cleans my face really well. I would recommend you take your makeup of first with gentle makeup remover wipes. Then wash your face, it will feel clean and refreshed! :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> good luck x

 
Thanks Katie!

Just seems like such a pain having to use something seperate to take my make up off. Can I not just cleanse twice with the bar? and use a flannel to remove the soap and make up?

 
I have used the clinique facial soap to remove makeup before (usually when I run out of wipes) but I got the soap in my eye once and it stung a bit so I would recommend wipes or a makeup cleanser.

 
I'm still having doubts about the Clinique ya know....

I think I may take it back. I think the breakout's come from switching to Olay Complete Care moisturiser - I seem to remember it breaking me out before and thinking about it I only appear to have been breaking out since I changed my regular Olay Beauty Fluid to Olay Complete Care. I hear a lot of people break out from this.

I just don't want to start using the clinique one to find out that it won't remove my make up or isn't cleansing enough so I'm just gonna take it back. I can always buy it again if after I've switched back to my regular moisturiser the spots don't clear up!

Thanks for your advice though Katie!

 
hopefully its not Dove! = )

ive been using Dove beauty bar for a few days now and im honestly luvin it...i also have the Clinique one but the Dove is much better at cleansing IMHO.

 
Am switching back to the Sensitive skin version of Dove as it is much more compatible with my skin. I love the regular white bar for the smell and creaminess but I just think I must be sensitive to one of the ingredients as my breakouts are getting worse and I never had that problem with the Sensitive skin one (the same one that Jen's using!)

 
Hope your skin starts improving. If your skin doesnt start to improve maybe its because you use dove to take your make up off and theres still traces of dirt left on the skin, i only used dove once to take my MU off and in return i gained 12 spots!! so ill know never to make that mistake again! if you dont want the fuss of having to take you MU off you could try using a toner and see if any dirt is still coming off.

 
Thanks Becky! I use a face cloth and really good lather so I know my make up is gone and my face is squeaky clean. I just think my skin is a bit sensitive at the moment so if i use the sensitive skin version of dove then I should be fine - I was using that before and my skin was clear and bright!

I've just started using a Clinique soap cos I bought it and want to use it up but after that I'm going back to my Dove sensitive - my HG! Maybe the fragrance in the regular white bar irritated it? I feel ugly!

PS how's the foundation??

 
Awww i know what you mean i feel ugly right now too. I think it could actually have something to do with the fragrance. I much prefer the sensitive bar over the original, since using the sensitive bar my pores got smaller, i hardly broke out and my skin wasnt as dry. Thinking about it, it was the original bar i used to take my MU the other weekend when i broke out. Maybe its just not as effective at removing MU like sensitive bar? and thats why you could have broke out.

Oh and the foundation is lovely, thank you. Best foundation iv ever tried, even my bf complimented me straight away and said how beautiful i looked:icon_chee hes asked me to never go back to the foundations i used before.
