Dove Hand Wash Discontinued: True or False?

Sharing is caring!

No, Dove Hand Wash has not been discontinued by the manufacturer. According to the brand, only a specific size is discontinued while other sizes are available. That often happens when a particular size is not moving as well as others for the same product. For example, the family size of the hand wash may be moving a lot since the individual (or smaller) size isn’t selling, which may hamper the profit margin for the brand. So, a brand may be forced to stop making that size and focus on the one that is moving the needle. 

Where to Get the Dove Hand Wash

As you can see from the above, I’ve established why the hand wash is still very much available and that it hasn’t been discontinued by Dove. 

As usual, you’ll be able to obtain the hand wash directly from the brand, Dove.com, as well as other online retailers.

This includes the likes of Amazon, Walmart, Walgreens, Target, Costco, Bed Bath and Beyond and even eBay, even though I won’t trust them as much as the rest.

There are also different variations of the Dove hand wash. So, you have a lot of options to select from. 

How Do You Know When a Hand Wash is Discontinued?

There are a lot of signs that can lead you to believe a product is no longer in production. The first sign is usually scarcity but not always.

The other, and very common, is for the manufacturer to state that it has been discontinued.

Unfortunately, this doesn’t always happen as many brands don’t say when they are stopping a product.

They just stop it and you’ll only find out when the product becomes unavailable and you ask the brand.

Also, there are quite a few reasons a brand may decide to stop a product. It may be due to poor sales or to allow for a new product.
