Dial Gold Anti-Bacterial Soap Review

For the past couple of weeks I have been really trying to reach 10,000 steps a day...I think there was only one day in the last two weeks I didn't and I got really, really close. Yay, me! My goal is to keep it up at least the rest of the summer....and on from there.

I think they must have changed Dial in the past couple of years because it used to dry the mess out of my skin. Now.. not so much. That was pretty much why I avoided buying any Dial the past couple of years. Also because they don't have the best history. The OG dial contained Hexachlorophene which has since been removed since it was known to cause neurological damage in infants. Then they switched to something else that was banned a few years back. Due to that, it's not a soap I would buy again but I just picked it up because I like trying out the stuff that's been around decades and decades. 

It has the typical Dial scent. I don't really mind the scent..it's just a basic, stern (odd description but true), clean scent. Doesn't linger too much and smells kinda nice in the shower.

Otherwise it lathers well, rinses clean, and doesn't dry my skin out. 

One thing I did notice that I almost forgot to mention is how much coloring it has. When you use it there is soooo much yellow that just comes off the bar. It doesn't stain and rinses down the drain...but I think I could do without all the coloring.
