[REVIEW] Dove DermaSeries Gentle Cleansing Body Wash & Replenishing Body Lotion

I received the Dove DermaSeries starter kit a few days prior to my trip to Okinawa, and managed to try for a few times.

This DermaSeries is meant for combating dry skin as it has been clinically proven to rapidly soothe and alleviate dryness and itching. The starter kit contains a body wash and a body lotion.It is also dermatologist-proven that the products are suitable for eczema-prone skin.

Gentle Cleansing Body Wash

Lab test shows that this body wash is ten times more nourishing than regular body wash. It has a unique blend of skin-natural lipids, sunflower oil and mild cleansing actives which makes this Dove's best daily cleansing care for dry, itchy skin.

Opinion

 As a derma-related product, it is normal to see that this body wash does not foam much or produces lotsa bubbles. It does smell of sunflower oil, but also reminds me of almond oil. Since my skin is mostly sensitive with dry and sensitive fingers, the body wash does not, in any way, show any negative reaction, and the dry skin areas around my fingers appear to be protected by a new layer of skin, as if the body wash helps to build new tissue and protects dry skin.

It feels creamy and thick, and when mixed with water, the liquid remains thick but it breaks down into smaller parts if whisk rapidly.

Overall ★★★★★

Replenishing Body Lotion

Based on clinical test, it is clinically proven to have 24-hour lasting comfort. With the unique blend of SilkAmino Complex and Dove's powerful moisturisers, it replenishes dry, itchy skin, restoring skin's natural protective barrier over time.

Opinion

It runs smoothly on the skin upon application, and it absorbs really quickly. So, I think it is really convenient for me especially in the morning, because I have just enough time to prepare myself for work and I don't have to wait for too long for the lotion to be absorbed. My arms appear to be more moisturised and not as dry as before. However, the only drawback I feel is that the lotion feels a tad sticky. It always makes me want to wash my hands after applying the lotion.

Overall ★★★★☆

In conclusion,

The dry patches on my skin has significantly improved and become a lot better.

I would recommend this set of body care products to those with dry skin and/or eczema-prone skin problem.
