Advantages: Everything and it's so economical!

Disadvantages: None it's great

When it comes to Dove products I really am a huge fan of them. I've used the classic original Dove bar of soap for years now and always have a bar in my bathroom and a bar in my spare toiletry drawer so I don't ever run out. I simply love it and prefer it to 'Lush' and expensive products any day of the week so much so that if I'm going on a big night out and I want to dazzle I'll use it. At about about 43p a bar it's an affordable luxury product I can use every-day!


However the other week I went to my local Sainsbury's and they had none of my usual Dove Soap stocked! Not impressed and actually rather upset to be honest I didn't know what to buy instead. However they had this Dove 'Pro-Age' Beauty Cream Bar on offer at 42p a bar rather than the usual £1.29 price tag and there were only two left so I grabbed them both to try!

The Packaging....

Comes in a square, dark red box with a silver small dove on the front than in white and silver writing I'm told it is Dove Pro-Age Beauty Cream Bar (which is moisturising cream enriched with olive oil) and contains 1/4 moisturising cream. On the back of the box details for Unilever are given (all over the world), ingredients are listed, I'm told it is made in Germany, the recycle symbol is shown and finally there is a bar-code on there. On the sides of the box I'm told what the product is and overall it looks a classy product.

The Soap....

Is an oval shape, very light pink colour with a dove shape engraved into each side. It is gently curved to it's middle making this easy to handle and you can see very small well blended speckles of darker pink exfoliating particles blended throughout it though the soap is smooth to the touch and hard.

Using it is easy of course. Use it on damp skin and it lathers up richly with off light pink coloured bubbles that really do feel moisturising. Lots of rich lather moisturises the body easily and the fragrance is simply wonderful. This contains olive oil to soothe the skin and help with the anti-ageing process. The smell is of the natural fruit oils... though none distinct it is. It simply smells very light and girly/feminine, clean and slightly sweet but the aroma is truly lovely and I'm sure most people would like it.

Whilst using on the skin you can't feel any exfoliation going on at all as it isn't harsh and/or abrasive at all. You can shave your bits and bobs with ease, it definitely cleans the body and leaves a delicate lasting scent on the skin for hours upon hours.

The best bit about this is soap is how soft your skin feels after using it. I didn't think I could like something as much as the Dove original soap but I was so wrong. This is in the same class and leaves me with incredibly soft feeling skin and no need to moisturise after this if you don't want to! It's none irritating, gently hydrating and doesn't give me overly greasy skin or anything over time. The exfoliators I can't feel seem to visually buff up my skin and I look really immaculately clean after using this. I had some dry, sore skin on my legs but after I bathed with this it completely vanished and hasn't returned.

To me this brightens my skin making me look and feel more youthful. I love the fresh clean smell of it and the feel of my skin. Just the other day my Mother commented how soft my arm was when she brushed against it in the kitchen. This to me really is a bloody marvelous feel good product (mainly in the scent department) aimed at us ladies. I certainly will purchase it again and again and highly regard and recommend it to anyone! It's a cheap luxury for sure!

Summary: A touch of class daily!
