Sue Wong via Google+1 month ago Wow, this is so beautiful... I am without words.
NewTypexvii1 month ago Yea and this is the same company that owns AXE body spray. Ever see those commercials? Its all about marketing. They dont care about true beauty. Money is beautiful to them
vegan on2 weeks ago This video is pathetic and ridiculous. Dove is made from tallow, the fat from beef or mutton. Do you honestly want to rub animal fat all over your bodies and pretend that you feel good?
Marissa Janel1 month ago I smelled B.S. as soon as I saw this ad. Unilever is the parent company of Dove and Axe. The same company that's supposedly trying to help raise girls and women's self esteem is depicting degrading images of women in Axe ads aimed at men- yes- both seek to raise the self-esteem of men and women, and both do it in manipulative, conniving ways. This whole "Campaign For Real Beauty" is such a disgrace.
