Dove Bar vs A Regular Bar of Soap
-
Does dove really hydrate the skin better than regular old soap? I love the scent and the creamy lather...so I probably won't stop using it even if it isn't any better, but I still would like to know if I am being ripped off by another advertising gimmick.

Not a Brain here. We were told to use Dove on our baby's skin by a pediatrician. We've used it off and on for years. That is our family's personal experience.If you look it up on the beautypedia site, Paula Begoun says it has some ingredients akin to regular bar soap and that due to the ingredients that hold the bar together it can cause irritation and clogged pores. On the makeupalley site there are 758 reviews (right now) and 86% would buy again.Personally I like it and, like you, I love the scent!Maybe the Brains will tell us if it is just fancy bar soap or if it really is different.

Dove is what is called a "syndet" bar. that means it's a mix of synthetic detergent and soap. True soap (saponified fatty acids) can be very drying to skin whereas certain surfactants, SCI for example, are much less drying/irritating.So if you're comparing Dove to a "regular" soap bar then yes it's better.
