New formulation

I have been using and loving this product for 20 years. The new formulation has a strong unpleasant scent. The texture is no longer a smooth gel like texture and does not feel nice to use. It also does not remove makeup as well as the old product. Unfortunately, after having repurchased this product many times, I will no longer be purchasing it and will find an alternative product.

Severe Reaction to New Formula

I used this facial wash for two decades without a single issue. It was my absolute go-to, trusted product. Unfortunately, whatever ingredients they changed in this new formula have completely ruined it. ​After washing my face with the updated version, I suffered a severe allergic reaction. My eyelids became incredibly swollen, bright red, and tender, while my chin developed an intensely itchy rash. I had to stop using the product immediately and am now spending weeks repairing my compromised skin barrier with antihistamines and thick healing ointments. ​It is incredibly disappointing when a brand ruins a perfect formula. If you are a long-time user or have sensitive skin, do not assume this new version is safe for you just because the old one was. I will not be purchasing this again.
