I purchased a Dove facial cleanser after using a free sample, which I was fine with, but after the second time...AGH. Skin was beyond irritated.

I contacted them, and they suggested other products.

Tried them...WORSE.

So, I actually contacted them again (my new commitment to stop losing money), and they sent a pile of coupons, and...today, a check for $28! They also offered to pay any medical bills. I didn't have any, and I certainly did not pay that much for the product. I didn't keep a receipt (who plans for these things?).

A nice reward to my commitment to following up instead of just throwing things out and taking the loss.

Into the challenge it goes...
