you should never use ANY sort of bar soap on your face or body. think of how that bar of soap sticks together. its very waxy and clogs the pores and doesn't rinse away clean. STAY AWAY FROM BAR SOAP!
Ok i dont agree with that lat post but thats just me.My doctor reccomended that I use dove only because i have very very dry sensitive skin.It has worked for me.In very happy with it.
I think Dove for the face is a big no-no. I heard that you should only use cleansers on face that are soap-free (and hypoallergenic, fragrance-free, non-comedogenic, and oil free) to avoid harsh alkaline properties. I think Dove on face is only good for people with dry skin who are not acne prone.
