It’s Just Never In Stock
Keep this in stock please. Shame the women have their version of antibacterial soaps but the men cant. Smells greats, provides a sufficient lather and leaves the skin feeling rejuvenated, hydrated and loved with it’s plant based ingredients.

Bring Back Dove Antibacterial Soap
I really miss Dove’s Antibacterial Soap. It was the only bar that kept my skin protected from germs while still leaving it soft and not dried out like other antibacterial soaps do. It was gentle enough for daily use but still strong enough to give me peace of mind. Nothing else compares to the balance of cleansing and moisturizing that Dove got just right. Please bring it back—there’s truly no substitute.

For the love of God why discontinue this?
I love this body wash. I've been using it for years and would buy 4 at a time to make sure I was stocked up. Unfort. I'm down to my last bottle and see that it's been discontinued. Why discontinue your only anti-bacterial men's wash? Bring it back please!

Where did it go? So sad..
Why was this particular product discontinued? Please think of your customers before ceasing production on what has been a consistently superior body wash. This is disappointing and really sad

They need to bring it back!
Love the product! It worked so well with my skin and kept it clear! I do not like the fact that I cannot find it anywhere now. What happened? That is the only reason for the 3 stars.

Great body wash!!
Dove’s body wash is one of our family favorite brands. My husband loves it because of its gentleman scent. I like its smell especially right after my husband takes shower. The scent is very attractive, fresh and clean. Price is affordable and worth it.

I Love this on my man!!
My man loves this and i love this on him. It smelled sooo good!! He tends to get dry skin, this did not dry out his skin and instead made him feel more clean and refreshed. Hes been using it everyday since he received it and definitely would like to continue using after finishing this bottle.
