[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using Dreft laundry detergent for my baby’s clothes and am very pleased with its quality. It has a gentle, pleasant scent, rinses cleanly without leaving residue, and is especially suitable for sensitive baby skin causing no irritation or allergic reactions.

Safe for newborns and smells so good!
Absolutely love Dreft for my baby’s clothes! I’ve been using Dreft Stage 1: Newborn since the day we brought our little one home, and it’s been amazing. It leaves his clothes smelling so fresh and soft, and I love knowing it’s gentle enough for his sensitive skin. Plus, it’s pediatrician recommended and meets EPA Safer Choice standards — so I feel confident using it for every wash. 🩷 Highly recommend this for any new parent who wants their baby’s laundry to be clean, cozy, and safe! 👶🧺✨

Very upset this has a scent. why would you put any scent on a baby product let alone call it hypoallergenic with a scent? Also, $10 for this tiny bottle - what a waste.

It’s hypoallergenic, super gentle !
I recently found out that my son’s allergy was actually caused by our regular laundry detergent. Even though he’s 8 years old, I decided to try this Dreft Newborn detergent — and the allergy problem completely went away! It’s hypoallergenic, super gentle on the skin, and has such a light, pleasant scent. Definitely a great choice for sensitive skin! 💕🧺

Not much in terms of the weight, seems to be a liquid shortage!
Like the dreft product line, but it seems the bottle has less and less product for more money.

We're sorry to hear that you're disappointed with your Dreft Stage 1: Newborn Liquid Laundry Detergent purchase, Cynthia. We have strict quality controls, and it’s unusual for a package to leave our plant with less than the proper amount of product in it. It may be helpful to know that each of our detergent bottles contains at least the number of ounces stated on the pack. Our bottles are designed and filled to allow for proper pouring. With that said, our team would be happy to look into this further and help make this right. For assistance, please give us a call at (800) 436-2229.

Overpriced and scented
I purchased this the moment we found out we were expecting our baby boy to start washing all of the different baby clothes, cloth, toys, blankets, and towels that we were given. It works great, but for the price is extremely expensive and you can get the same quality and gentle care from less expensive brands. It also has a slight scent to it, which concerns me with a baby sensitive skin. Overall, it’s not a terrible product but not one I would purchase again knowing that there’s other brands with better prices and can be used for the whole family instead of targeting just baby clothes that is just as gentle if not more so.

Value and effectiveness
This is detergent is super awesome for newborns and it’s not harsh on their skin or the fabric of their clothing. I brought it for my granddaughter who had her first baby and my first great granddaughter. The price is great and the packaging is safe.

Can't Stand the Scent
It does the job however it does has a smell. It’s not strong but as a mom with sensitive smells, it is not for me. It actually makes me nauseous. For that reason, I will never purchase this again. I would rather a non-scented version.

Love this detergent. Has a smell though, if you’d prefer unscented then this isn’t the detergent for you. But both my babies love it.

Perfect for sensitive skin
This detergent gets my babies clothes clean while leaving a good scent. These are small containers and I thought I would go through them fast but my baby is 4 months old and I just finished one bottle. My baby has had no issues with this as far as skin sensitivities. I have even started using it on our bedding. My boyfriend was having a reaction to our detergent especially while in bed he would get itchy. Once I started using this his itching has stopped
