Is it really bad/drying/dehydrating to use Dove soap on your face?

Sarah
I have heard that even though it is moisturizing, it is still too strong/harsh for your face and robs it of all its water, making skin feel tight or flake.  Is this true?  Would a dermatologist recommend or discourage using dove/cetaphil bar soap on your face?
