Dove VisibleCare Body Wash

So Dove VisibleCare Body Wash is supposed to change the appearance of your skin from looking dry, rough, cracked, what have you, into smooth and soft in one week. I used it for at least two weeks and didn't notice any change. (Not that I was really looking.) BUT what I did notice is that the tattoo on my leg was starting to become extremely itchy. The itchiness would come and go and I didn't think too much about it. Then it started to itch all of the time and I noticed little bumps on my skin that were only on the tattoo and not the surrounding skin. They were definitely not mosquito bites. This worried me. I have had the tattoo for well over a year and I had not had any sort of reaction since getting it and having it touched up. I started doing research on what could cause this. Long story short, it was the Dove VisibleCare Body Wash that was causing the reaction. I stopped using it immediately and within days the itchiness on my tattoo and the little bumps went away. I'm not saying that if you have a tattoo you can't use this product, I'm just saying it could happen.

Bottom Line: It smelled good, but Dove's claims can't be supported and it could make your tattoos unbearably itchy.
