Dove Men+Care Brings New Clinical Solutions to Men’s Body and Face Cleansing Routines

The new Advanced Care collection features three specialized formulas to provide solutions for dry, sensitive, and acne-prone skin.

ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N.J., March 1, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — One in two U.S. men experience skincare problems.1 Yet, when they try to find answers to these problems, they have a tough time finding the right product. To bridge the gap, Dove Men+Care, a powerhouse men’s grooming brand in the U.S., is debuting its Advanced Care Face + Body Cleansing range to help solve men’s top skin concerns—beginning in the shower.

Recommended by board-certified dermatologists,2 the Advanced Care Face + Body Cleansing range is a first-of-its-kind innovation from the brand – one that works with your skin to help naturally repair the skin barrier, rather than just cleanse like other products. Formulated with triple-action moisturizers that activate in the shower and infused with ingredients like aloe extract, this groundbreaking range elevates the shower into a skincare moment.

Dove Men+Care created Advanced Care based on specific insights about men’s skin composition and needs. For example, men produce double the amount of oil from their skin versus women and men have larger pores, which makes men’s skin more prone to acne. Additionally, frequent shaving and rougher skin texture lead to increased dryness and irritation.3 The new Advanced Care collection is bringing clinically advanced products to retail shelves across America, offering men accessible solutions made for their specific skin concerns and preferences.

“I speak with a lot of men about their skin and the concerns they have: acne-prone skin, sensitive skin, dry skin,” says Dr. Evan Rieder, a board-certified dermatologist in New York, who partnered with Dove Men+Care to help launch this collection. “They’re looking for answers and often can’t find them at their local retail stores. This Dove Men+Care Advanced Care launch is the solution that men have been looking for – and at an affordable price point!” 

While half of men struggle with these everyday skincare concerns, a staggering 77% of men don’t look for a functional ingredient when buying a personal care product.4 With Advanced Care, Dove Men+Care is here to point them more clearly to the solutions they need – with the functional products they deserve.

“We found 4 out of 5 men5 are interested in purchasing a product like Advanced Care, which shows women are no longer the only ones seeking advanced skincare solutions,” said Brent Lukowski, Senior Brand Manager, Dove Men+Care at Unilever. “We hope men find an offering within Dove Men+Care Advanced Care Face + Body Cleansing collection that becomes their go-to. It’s a brand they know and trust – and better addresses their specific preferences than gender-neutral or female-focused products that they see on-shelf.”

After years of working with the nation’s leading dermatologists,2 Dove Men+Care is debuting its Advanced Care range, which features three new variants:

  • Dove Men+Care Advanced Care Dry Repair – This gentle cleanser, infused with smooth shea butter, helps to hydrate and restore dry skin. It’s formulated with the brand’s most advanced moisturization system ever—attracting moisture to the skin even after use—and has a warm, masculine scent.
  • Dove Men+Care Advanced Care Sensitive Calm – Infused with natural extract of aloe vera, this mild cleanser helps calm dry, irritated skin. It’s formulated with active skin nourishers and a hypoallergenic fragrance.
  • Dove Men+Care Advanced Care Acne Clear – A first-ever launch for the brand, Acne Clear is a gentle cleanser containing 1% salicylic acid. Paired with active nourishers and a minty, masculine scent, this cleanser penetrates pores to reduce and prevent the number of acne blemishes.

Dove Men+Care Advanced Care Face + Body Cleansers hit shelves nationally starting in February at major retailers including Walmart, Target, CVS, and Walgreens. For more information about the new Advanced Care range, visit DoveMenCare.com and follow @DoveMenCare on Instagram and Twitter.
