Love this product have been using it for at least 10 years. I love it so much and is the only thing that keeps my akin consistently clear. On the right is the one I purchased from amazon about two months ago, left is the one I just picked up at target since I was there. They have changed the formula. Old one (right) is gentler while new (left) smells very chemically (my roommate thought I had just used nair after walking into the bathroom 5 min later! That’s how strong the smell is!) and I think a bit too harsh for my dryer skin. Not sure what amazon is selling but hoping I can get my hands on the old formula before it’s all gone.
