Why did Olay change the formula?! The new cream is nothing like the original. The original had a silky light feel.

It totally changed, I used it for years so I instantly saw a difference. I usually mix a bit with my makeup and my old regenerist would glide beautifully. This new one immediately left itsy bitsy particles like when the skin peels from a sunburn. That was odd. It went right back to the store. I'm searching for a new cream.

I thoroughly agree! The new cream leaves a residue on my skin and has a different fragrance as well! Time to search for a new night cream!

I like Shelley's answer because I, too, notice the sticky/tacky feel that is in the "new" Original Formula Sea Breeze (with same apparent packaging & ingredients) but the only difference I can see on the packaging is that the one that has the sticky/tacky feel has a copyright of 2011 Idelle Labs with a website address of seabreezecleandotcom while the one I know and that feels like the original that I'm accustomed to after 30+ years of use has a copyright of 1997 Clairol, Inc. and a website of seabreezezonedotcom

My husband & I tried it & got some very weird reaction...both of our faces became very puffy. I can't say it's not the original since we never tried it before this experience, but w/our reactions & the fact that we returned it, I would trust what your esthetician recommends. After discontinuing the product, all became normal again & we have chosen to live with the laugh lines. ;-)

My hairdresser just told me about Nioxin today, so I came online to search for it. After reading reviews here on Amazon about a change from the original product I did a search and it appears that P&G; has changed not only the shampoo and conditioner formula, but the supplements that everyone LOVED! Unfortunate for me because I will not pay $200 for supplements that have been reformulated from a formula that worked. Here is a blog I found about it: http://mzmahoganychic.com/2012/05/10/nioxindisappearance/

They changed it!!!!! It is not nearly as good as it was before. They turned it into a clear plastic like substance that smells different then before. I would buy the product again if they would change it back to how they had it before.

I am also very sad and upset that the formula changed. There is no other product around like it and I am forced to continue on with the new formulation.I stopped when it was first changed for about 2 months and noticed the difference considerably; my entire family noticed my lack of energy and initiative to "get going" and when you don't feel well, depression kicks in.I wish Apex would have given their clients the choice and kept both products in the market, but for me one is better than none.

Hi there, I used this product and initially it seemed ok but to be honest, I have purchased this so many times from other places over the years but this particular one has ruined my skin...which has never happened before. This batch made my skin very itchy and dry and the peeling hasn't happened as it usually does. Maybe it was the batch that I purchased...not sure really.

I think it is back to a strength just a bit below the original formula which they can no longer use. I switched away from Revitalash right when they switched formula so i may have missed the "water on my eyelids" effect.

No it is not. It needs the Pink triangle that states New on it. You like the new and improved formula? It makes my skin sticky/tacky and smell horrible

I need the old formula please help me to find it I am allergic to new formula. I ordered some but came back as the new formula.can you help me to find it?

Yes I too have noticed a marked difference in the "new" formula. I will probably switch to Latisse also but have not sooner because of the possibility of my eye color changing like they say it can. But my pretty lashes are no longer..)-: AND it's more expensive!!

They have changed the formulation of Oral Balance. They have taken out the enzymes and xylitol and it doesn't work at all. It is thinner and burns the back of your mouth and hardly lasts 30 minutes!!! I called 1-800-922-5856 to complain and they will give me a refund for 2 tubes of Oral Balance and one tube of Biotene tooth paste(also without enzymes). I have been using this product for 10 years and it has really helped me at night (I have Sjogrens'). I managed to find some of the original OB at a small pharmacy - the originals will say on the front "Long lasting Symptom Relief" and the new formulation says "New improved pH Balance". What a joke!

The one I received was in the new packaging which is now black with a lime green/black lid. I agree that it doesn't seem exactly as I remember the original product but it is pretty close. So far I am still getting good results. I am finding that it seems to get more "gummy" in my hair now - I dont remember that from before. I thought it was due to living in a more humid environment now.

No. The ingredients show they've moved water up as a primary ingredient so it is not as luxurious as it had been and it appears other ingredients have been changed as well. My hair does not react as well with the newer formula and I will no longer be purchasing this product. L'Oreal really screwed up by changing the formula after they purchased Pureology in 2007. Surprisingly I've been using a product called B'Iota (European - I believe it's German) Herbal Shampoo for thinning hair (safe for colored hair) that I purchased in a local drug store and it is working quite well.

I can tell you this much... since it started coming in this new spray container, it is very drying, compared to what it used to be. I feel like I need to go from the .1 to the .05. I really had no idea there were new ingredients, I thought it was just a fluke.
