Soap cleans and moisturizes skin

I use this soap in both the body wash and bar soap form. It is so soft on your skin but still cleans extremely well. I even use it on my face and it leaves it soft and free of breakouts.

Great antibacterial body wash

This is the best body wash especially for the sensitive skin girlies! It's super moisturizing without leaving my skin feeling dry and flaky. It reduces ninety nine percent of bacteria, and it actually smells really amazing.

It moisturized

After my surgery I started bathing with this antibacterial soap for safety and hygiene reasons, but I liked it so much that now it is my official soap, because of its soft texture, it is yielding, it does not affect my skin, on the contrary, it moisturizes it and does not dry it out and is ideal for my sensitive skin.

The perfect body wash!

I love using this body wash! I originally purchased it for use after a surgery, but have kept buying it because I love the way it makes my skin feel! I get out of the shower and smell so good. It’s a thicker soap, helping a little go a long way. It lathers nicely and gives my skin such a clean feel!

Very floral but works great

If you’re in a climate or job where you end up sweating more or wear lots of PPE or layers, it’s handy for cutting down bacteria that makes a person stink. Only complaint is it smells very strongly while washing and I have a very sensitive nose.

C-section friendly soap

I used this body wash after my C-section, and it worked great. I would absolutely recommend this, especially for someone either having surgery or for postpartum use.

Terrible Smell!

I’m a Dove fan but this antibacterial wash is terrible! I’d give zero stars if I could! Smells like chemicals and bad perfume. Not like regular dove. Way over scented. Made me have breathing problems! Avoid this!

Wonderful new product, which I love and tell other

Wonderful new product which I love and tell other women about it. So soft, comforting and soothing. Love the glycerin most of all -- so soapy, yet sulfate free. I was wondering do you sell it in smaller travel sizes. It would be so economic, easy to use and keep you fresh while surrounded by others. If so, could you send me a few small samples to try. They would also be great to sale in airport stores. Please get on this!
