Q: What happened to this product? It's like water now!!

submitted by C - 9 years ago

  • A: This IS for the foaming hand soap dispensers. The directions under the “drug facts” tab tells you. They should make this fact more obvious, but it works as it should in the correct pump.

    submitted byMom of 3 - 6 years ago

  • A: I had the same experience. Switched to softsoap

    submitted byMamamay - 9 years ago

  • A: We had the same experience. I wonder if it's supposed to be for one of those foaming pumps.

    submitted byKJMKE - 7 years ago

  • A: There could be several reason why this is occuring. Please reach out to us by e-mail or telephone so we can investigate this.

    submitted byHenkel Consumer Affairs - 11 months ago

Q: what is the difference between this and the body wash? other than this one is significantly less expensive?

submitted by customer - 9 years ago

  • A: This item is not a body wash, it is a hand soap refill. Normally, hand soap is reccomended for hand washing only, not to be used as a body wash.

    submitted bypaleo - 9 years ago

  • A: Don't know! Perhaps because this is antibacterial and body wash usually doesn't specifically say that? Although soap and water is antibacterial, I suppose. I suppose you could use this as body wash but it is a thinner consistency than body washes usually are.

    submitted byMcMillian - 9 years ago

  • A: While you can use hand soap as a body wash, you would find that, due to less surfactants, your skin would feel less clean and have less suds. Also, there is less fragrance in the hand soap.

    submitted byHenkel Consumer Affairs - 11 months ago

Q: Is it foaming hand soap refill? Why is says 'liquid' instead of 'foaming'?

submitted by sua - 6 years ago

  • A: Dial forming hand soaps and Dial liquid hand soaps have slightly different formulations.

    submitted byDial Soap Team - 6 years ago
    Brand expert

  • A: This is NOT for the foaming Dial dispenser. It’s a liquid gel unlike the liquid foam refill. I have four of these that I now have to return. August 2025

    submitted byBryan NY - 1 year ago

Q: Is it fragrance free

submitted by Unknown - 10 months ago

  • A: Dial® Antibacterial Defense™ Gold hand soap does have a fragrance.

    submitted byDial Soap Team - 10 months ago
    Brand expert

Q: Can you use on your body

submitted by Catlopez - 11 months ago

  • A: There is less surfactants and fragrances in handsoaps so less suds and skin may feel less clean. We recommend using body wash for all over clean and lasting fragrance.

    submitted byHenkel Consumer Affairs - 11 months ago

Q: Can this be used as body wash?

submitted by Blake founder - 1 year ago

Q: is this tha older version without aloe?

submitted by Jez - 2 years ago

  • A: This antibacterial formula contains aloe vera.

    submitted byHenkel Consumer Affairs - 11 months ago

Q: Is this antibacterial soap unscented?

submitted by Soap - 3 years ago

  • A: Hey, Great question, the Dial Antibacterial gold soap is not unscented, it is formulated with fragrance. However, it cleanses and conditions beautifully, in a hand wash that's mild for the whole family!

    Sanitized hands without that dry feeling!

    My favorite soap! Antibacterial for all of the gross things you touch inside or out. The smell is actually really great and fresh, not too sweet. More importantly, it doesn’t dry out my skin—which typically happens very easily. This large refill size bottle is such a great value for the bathroom too.

    Non Working Pump !

    I Agree With Everyone Else. The Pump Doesn't Work, & No Direction On How To Engage It ! I Will Not Be Buying Dial Hand Soap AGAIN ! I’ll Buy Method For Me, And Soft Soap For My Husband. I Guess I Will Be Pouring This Into The Empty Soft Soap Dispenser, So We Can Use It. Very Disappointed In Dial. I Thought Ya’ll Were Better Than This.

    Liquid Hand Soap Feels Like Water

    You’re trying to pull a fast one on us by diluting the liquid hand soap. It’s practically useless. I won’t be buying it again. It’s a shame. You used to be the leader in soap. Now your product is like colored water.
