Dove Go Fresh Nourishment Body Lotion Review

12 Replies

Hey sweeties!

I am back with a review on Dove body lotion. Summer is here and I’m sure none of us would like to slather heavy moisturizers on our skin. Short and sweet, this is a light body lotion perfect for summers. :)

  • Read: How to Make Hand Scrub with Body Lotion?


Price and Quantity:

Rs.80 for 100 ml; Rs.180 for 250 ml

 

My Experience:

This is one of my favorite body lotions for summer. It comes in a white plastic bottle with a flip flop cap. the lotion is light green in color. It smells fresh exactly like the dove go fresh bars. So refreshing and pleasant. But doesn’t linger for a long time.

The texture of the lotion is very light. It gets absorbed so easily. It is non greasy, so you will love it during summers. What I love the most with this lotion is, it gives a THANDA THANDA effect right after you finish applying it, which is to be welcomed during GARAM GARAM summers. But it doesn’t keep your skin moisturized for a long time.

Dry skinned girls will definitely feel to reapply it with a decent interval of time. It has become my HG body lotion for summers.

PROS:

  • Affordable
  • Availability
  • Light texture, absorbs easily
  • Cooling effect
  • Moisturizes well
  • Nice smell

CONS:

  • 24hrs claim is wrong
  • Might not suit very dry skinned ones
  • No SPF

 

Rating: 4/5

 

Do I Recommend?:

Yes, for those in search of a light body lotion for summers.

 

Would I Repurchase?:

It is my HG body lotion for summers. So I will definitely.

Dove Silky Nourishment Body Cream Review

14 Replies
Today, I shall be reviewing the Dove Body cream. As far as I have observed most of the girls are more into lotions now a days. Since creams are believed to be greasy and thick and leave you feeling all coated :/ But this one is different! It is light and doesn’t make you feel as if you have layered yourself in some oily substance! Let us check more about the product. Read on to know more!

Price and Quantity:

Rs.380 for 300 ml tub

 

My Take:

This body lotion comes in a white plastic tub which is very elegant just like any other dove product. It has a screw type lid. The tub is not very handy and travel friendly. It is quite big and tough to carry in an average sized handbag :( However, you can transfer some cream in another container if you need to carry it.

The lotion has a very  light creamy consistency (like that of whipped cream). It gives a smooth and hassle free application, absorbs quickly and deeply into skin. Fragrance is very mild and should not be a problem for sensitive noses.

A routine use body lotion which as per me holds equally good for face as well. In fact I have personally been using it for face and neck exclusively. It is non greasy, spreads evenly on skin. It is essentially water based yet rich enough to penetrate deeply in skin and make it feel nourished and supple. Best part is that it can be used in summers too! However, store it in refrigerator in summers if you want it to maintain its properties.

I once tried using it as a cleansing cream and I swear, it worked like magic!! Also, it works good as a massage cream due to it’s absolutely perfect consistency.

All the routine MABH readers might also be aware about the DIY day cream tutorial. For making my own day cream I had used dove silky nourishment body cream along with aloe vera gel, sunscreen and compact powder. I must mention it did complete justice to the recipe. So, it serves well as a multipurpose cream!

It is useful for all skin types. I personally feel this should suit everyone and can be used all throughout the year! it also works well as a day as well as night cream due to the nourishment it provides and very mild smell.

PROS:

  • Affordable
  • Easily available
  • Can be used in summers as well as winters
  • Works well for body and face
  • Can be used as a night cream also due to deep nourishment it gives.
  • Perfect texture and consistency
  • Non greasy
  • Quick absorb
  • Can also be tried as a massage cream
  • Reusable tub

CONS:

  • Big tub is not travel friendly
  • Tub packing also makes the use bit unhygienic so make sure to wash your hands before using it and try not to share this one with somebody else :P

I really don’t have more negatives to offer. I am in love with the product!


Do I Recommend?:

Yes! From oily to normal to sensitive skin everyone should try it once. The price is a little high but it is worth it. You would not be disappointed with this one, I am pretty sure of that :)


Will I Repurchase?:

Oh yes! Without a doubt :) for indefinite periods of time I guess.

Dove Intense Repair Conditioner Review

12 Replies

by Arpita

I am literally buying all Dove products now because I have still not lost my faith on Dove. I recently bought this conditioner and have been using this since 2+ weeks now and I am ready to review it.

Price: 

Rs. 38 for 40ml, Rs. 64 for 90ml and Rs. 128 for 180ml

My Take:

After my bad Experience with Dove Intense Repair Shampoo and Dove Deodorant, I purchased many Dove Products, which included this conditioner. I love the Dove Beauty Bar and thus, I have not yet lost my respect for Dove.
I bought a small sized version of this one as I did not want to waste my money again. Nevertheless, this time, this conditioner is a winner! This is perfect for oily scalps as it does not moisturize the scalp heavily and does not weigh down the hair. Therefore, people with dry scalp should stay away. I have slightly dry hair, I hate conditioners that weigh down the hair, and thus this one is a good choice. It is thick and creamy in texture and the packaging is nice and sturdy.

Now, I generally apply this conditioner and leave it on for at least 2 minutes, after which I rinse it off. Let me tell you that rinsing it off is a big issue as it takes some time to get completely rinsed off of the hair and scalp and thus the process is time consuming. In addition, a lot of product is required to completely moisturize the hair. The product is affordable and I like this fact.

Results are awesome. I have used it with Trésemme, Sunsilk, Dove, Head and Shoulders shampoos, this conditioner makes the hair really soft and silky, and I love this fact about it. I am definitely going to purchase this one again until I find a good alternative. Well, when this conditioner is used alone, the results are not so great. Thus, always pair it up with a good shampoo. By the way, let me tell you that it does not repair the hair, just gives temporary shine and silkiness to the hair, and does nothing for dandruff and split ends. However, I still like this one, as it does not weigh down the hair. This one is a Summer-Winner :P

PROS:

  • Does not weigh Down the hair
  • Travel friendly
  • Affordable
  • Makes hair silky and soft
  • Good packaging

CONS:

  • Does not repair the hair
  • Temporary effects
  • A lot of product is needed
  • Does not moisturize the hair completely and heavily (Pro for girls with oily scalp)
  • Contains a lot of chemicals
  • Time consuming
  • People with extremely dry scalp should stay away from this product

 

Rating: 3/5 for winter use and 4/5 for summer

Dove Go Fresh Face Wash Oily Skin Care Review

22 Replies
by Arpita
I hope you all are doing well, beauties. I had bought this face wash long time back and it will expire soon! I never got the courage to use it on my face but finally I tried it and here are the results.

Price and Quantity:

Rs.70 for 50g

 

My Experience:

This face wash comes in a cute looking tube with an orange flip top cap and they have mentioned Oily Skin care in front, which was enough for me to buy it.

The texture of this one is somewhat like a moisturizing cream. It does not form bubbles when applied but it foams up like a cream. The foam is thick and extremely creamy and may seem excessively moisturizing. This made me afraid as my skin is very oily and sensitive and if I apply any creamy product on my face, it makes my skin oily and breaks me out. I was so wrong.. this face wash gets washed off in seconds and the most surprising thing is that is tightened my skin, removed every possible trace of oil and dirt and my face was squeaky clean and free of oil.

I love this face wash very much. However, this face wash dries out the skin and will not suit normal skin or dry skin. It has been specially made for oily skinned girls like me (I am doing the happy dance, right now). Finally, I have found the product, which is perfect for my skin. I am extremely happy. Do not freak out by seeing the creamy foam. It is actually for oily skinned beauties! It never ever broke me out or irritated my skin. After my Cetaphil Cleansing lotion, this is my most loved product. It does not make any sky-high false promises and does what it claims. Brightens the skin and my skin is left feeling clean and non-oily. The fragrance is almost same as the Air Wick water based citrus room freshener but a bit too sweaty.

PROS:

  • Sturdy packaging
  • Affordable price
  • Does what it claims
  • Removes every trace of oil and dirt
  • Tightens the skin
  • A very small amount of product is required
  • Foams up nicely
  • Specially formulated for oily skin
  • Brightens the skin temporarily
  • Did not break me out
  • Zero stickiness left behind
  • Cleans very effectively
  • No SLS or Parabens
  • Gives a matte look to the face which soon becomes semi matte(due to oil secretion) which lasts for about 2 hours

CONS:

  • Maybe too drying (not a con as it clearly mentions that the product is for oily skin)
  • I wish it was fragrance free
  • Makes the hair stiff and dry if it touches it


MABH Rating:

5/5  (Yes, I love it that much)

 

P.S: Sorry for the dirty pack.  That is not dirt. They are scratches on the product. I had bought it in 2011 and so the scratches :) Sorry.
