dove’s new dermaseries skincare #beautybuzz

I’ve raved about Dove’s body washes before, so when I found out that they released a dermatologist-developed skin care line for dry skin, I just had to try it out.

Dove’s DermaSeries consists of five cleansing and moisturizing products:

• Ultra Caring Gentle Cleansing Bar
• Ultra Caring Gentle Body Cleanser
• Ultra Caring Gentle Cream Face Cleanser
• Intense Repairing Body Cream
• Intense Repairing Rough Patch Treatment

The cleansers and moisturizers are very gentle and have no scent to them.  I could go on and on about the wonderful ingredients they have – and the nasty ones they don’t have – but I’m going to use this review to share my experience with the line.  If you want to find out more factual info about the line, you can read that here.

Since I started working out again, I’ve been taking up to two showers a day.  All that water and soap has lead me to have dry skin.  I’m sure you’re familiar with that feeling.  It might feel great to get all squeaky clean in the shower, but once you towel off, that skin is completely parched!  Here’s where the DermaSeries line is unlike your everyday cleanser.  It won’t strip your skin of moisture, but rather it seems to replace it.

I especially noticed this with the Ultra Gentle Cream Face Cleanser.  The cleanser itself feels like a lotion.  It doesn’t lather like your typical product, but it does do an excellent job at removing dirt and makeup.  My face feels soft and smooth after washing – not tight or dry.  When I first washed my face with it, I was a little confused.  How could a product so gentle and creamy actually clean my face?  But it did.  And I even noticed that my face did not get as greasy during the day as it normally would with my regular facial cleanser!  I had my husband test out the cleanser too – just in case I was imagining this shine-control factor – he got the same results as I did.

I could go on and on about how much I’ve been enjoying the DermaSeries skincare line, but this review is already running over 300 words and I’m sure I lost some of you by now, so let me end with how I exactly use each product throughout my day:

In the morning after I workout I:

• use the Ultra Caring Gentle Cleansing Bar with a loofah to wash my body.
• wash my face with the Ultra Caring Gentle Cream Face Cleanser.
• rub the Intense Repairing Rough Patch Treatment onto any dry spots on my face.
• apply the Intense Repairing Body Cream to my elbows, and legs.

In the evening before bed I:

• clean my body with the Ultra Caring Gentle Body Cleanser and a loofah.
• wash my face with the Ultra Caring Gentle Cream Face Cleanser.
• apply a thin layer of the Intense Repairing Rough Patch Treatment onto my face.
• rub the the Intense Repairing Body Cream all over from my shoulders down.

This line has really exceeded my expectations!  I feel that it does a great job keeping my skin clean and moisturized without that greasy feeling.

I was provided samples from Dove for this review, but all opinions are my own.
