Nope
smells like play dough and it broke me out. I wanted to like this product because it’s rare to find things made specifically for my skin but it doesn’t smell good and it gave me a rash.

Not for sensitve skin
Wanted to love this. I like the smell, but it broke my skin out. I stopped using it for a while, then used it again… I broke out again.

Smells so bas
This smells SO BAD. I don’t understand. Maybe I got a bad bottle? I am using it as a hand soup. It is moisturizing but it smells so bad. I wish Target will send me another bottle with another scent .

Scent Is Terrible
I’m not thrilled with the scent honestly. It’s too strong and too much like perfume. I should have returned it. I won’t buy something scented again without first smelling it. I haven’t noticed a difference in my skin either, but I don’t use it everyday either because of the scent.

IT IS THE BEST!!!
My skin has always been a little rough/bumpy. This Body wash, the melanin even tone, and scrubs have been a life changer for me. They’re all very moisturizing and leaves my skin the softest it’s ever been. I’m also really sensitive in certain areas, and these Dove products are gentle on the skin and non-irritant like some others. I’ve recommended them to all of my family and friends. You have a forever customer in me!!!

Replniahes skin
Since I am out on the sun a lot I like this body wash because it helps to replenish my dry skin. I can get really dark being in the sun and this helps keep my skin moisturized and healthy.

Moisturizing and effective
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This truly nourishes my skin and I notice the quality and color of my skin stays the same (especially with my tan). My only complaints is that the pump doesn’t twist shut (always open) and the scent isn’t quite what I thought. However it still smells good and is definitely moisturizing!

Noticeable results, excellent product
Bought this for my mom. She's an older Asian lady with fragile diabetic skin. OMG @ the improvement of her skin health. I wish I had taken before pics, because the difference is amazing. Her arms are glowing and much healthier looking. Her skin feels stronger after two weeks of use. Before, she'd brush up against something rough and she'd bleed. I don't know if her skin just needed whatever is in this, but it's doing a great job. Love the cherry almond scent. I'll buy this again and have ordered for her sisters.

Instant, long-lasting softness
It has a fresh, citrusy, invigorating scent that is very creamy to the touch. My skin was immediately softer as soon as I began rinsing. I recommend Dove Melanin Radiance to anyone with sensitive and/or dry skin, as I have both.

Smells great!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This body wash smells so good! I like the nozzle in the bottle too, it doesn’t get clumped up as easy. This lathers well but it feels a little filmy afterwards.

Nice
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I found the scent to be very strong, but it doesn't stay on the body, it has a creamy texture that I loved, it's gentle for those with dry skin and will love it and the packaging is very practical.

Moisturizing!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love dove body wash and the new Melanin radiance body wash is very moisturizing! It makes my skin feel very soft. The packaging alone deserves a ten/ten. The only thing I can’t say I love is the scent. I have looked for other versions of this body wash and I love those too! If they could put the scent of the others on this formula that’s melanin friendly then it would be the perfect body wash. Unfortunately though the scent is a big part of how I choose my bodywash. I still think this is a great option and definitely recommend it’s just the scent isn’t my cup of tea.

Nice soap
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the scent it’s very light, and the soap has a nice lather. The soap isn’t to thick. The packaging is nice and convenient and the soap works well with melanated skin.

Go try it ASAP
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love love love this! It’s hydrating, smells good and makes my skin feel clean without stripping it. Suds up really well too, I use an African net. Love that it’s made for melanated skin but can still cater to others

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Omg I love this product so much. Feels so good on my skin I use this everyday when I shower. I love how it smells how it lathers and the bottle is just the right size.
