The Beauty Bar is an old-school classic, so it’s not all that surprising that Barrymore’s a fan. At under $8 for a pack of three (in this economy?!), a quarter of the face wash’s formula consists of the brand’s signature moisturizing cream, so it doesn’t leave the skin feeling dry after rinsing. There’s also a fragrance-free formula for sensitive skin that dermatologists love (and so does Kelly Ripa).

“It won’t strip skin of the oil it needs,” Tina Alster, M.D., director of the Washington Institute of Dermatologic Laser Surgery and a clinical professor at Georgetown University Medical Center in Washington, D.C. previously told Prevention. It also restores pH balance to the skin and is super versatile—safe for use on the face and body.

Many reviewers say they’ve used the formula for years. “I have very sensitive skin. I have used Dove my entire adult life. Leaves it feeling much softer and less dry,” an Amazon shopper wrote. “It leaves my skin feeling moisturized and smelling great!” another added. Another pointed out that it’s also a sustainable choice, given that it’s sold in a cardboard box with no plastic packaging.

The rest of Barrymore’s spring skincare saves include Garnier’s Micellar Cleansing Water (which she said “erases everything,” including stubborn mascara, in a few swipes), Olay’s Hyaluronic Acid Body Lotion, and Aveeno’s Calm + Restore Redness Relief Moisturizing Cream, which soothes sensitive skin with nourishing oat. Shop all three below and say hello to happier skin this season.
