It gave me a itchy and irritated vagina. My OBGYN said antibacterial soap is NOT good on any vagina, it drys it out and takes all the good bacteria out. So I switched back to DOVE Moisturizing body wash all good in the lady parts Hood.

I have used Dove antibacterial for many years now but the new antibacterial bath soap formula smells like stale dessert. It’s difficult to tolerate the odor in the hot shower and has ruined my bath experience. I will be discontinuing the use because I don’t want to smell like a stale drink. Please bring back the old formula.

I consistently buy this body wash because it’s one of the only ones on the market that is promoted as antibacterial. I’m not a fan of bar soap, which is why I opt for this body wash. It lathers well and I guess it serves its purpose, but the scent has changed. It used to have a nice, clean smell that I enjoyed. However, the last 2 bottles I’ve purchased have a sort of metallic smell.

I usually only buy & use the Dove body wash for sensitive skin, but decided on my last order to buy this one also to try it. I used this particular one for one time only and got a bad rash so I threw the bottle in the garbage because the rash was troublesome & painful to me..

The product is fine. The lid is difficult to open when using the product during a shower. It takes a very strong effort to open the lid.

Kate - 3 months ago, Verified purchaser
I have been using this body wash since 2022, and I have never thought about changing products since! The scent is very clean, and does not irritate my sensitive skin. Also--as a plus size girl, it is easy for sweat and moisture to cause odor especially under the tummy and between the thighs, but the antibacterial properties have completely eliminated this problem for me! Overall, this leaves me feeling so clean and smelling good. This is definitely a holy grail product for me!
