I have found that oxiclean does not work as well as it did when it first came out. Have they changed the formula?

I haven't noticed any change over the years, I primarily use the powder formulas. I did try the gel laundry booster, and didn't think it was as effective as the powder formulations. It wouldn't be out of the question for a formula to change, though. Companies alter formulas on occasion for a variety of reasons. Many car waxes have changed the formulas over the years to meet clean air standards in large States where they sell lots of product. Rather than have two two product mixes, they simply one with less solvent then the product have before, like unfinished did.

No it is not the same, but the product works really well for me. It just seems like there is more orange/red in the current bottles.

Hello, I bought one recently at Walgreens and the ingredients have changed compared to the one I bought 1 year ago. I tried the new one for a few weeks and I agree with some people here that the old version was more efficient.Question: How can I buy the old version (1 year ago about ) of this product? On Amazon? Thanks. Cedric

This is definitely the new formula. Ugh! The old formula was great, wasn't it? Since I bought this I have been able to find one that is close. It's even blue in color. If you have BJ's wholesale clubs in your area they make a generic that is the best thing I have found! Good Luck!

I have submitted an inquiry to eb5 asking if the formula had changed, but I doubt it. Perhaps the vendor kept it at the wrong temperature. I have noticed no difference.

I thought I was loosing my mind, the new stuff is horrible!! Did anyone find out if the old formula is still available?

No I don't think it is because they've moved water closer to one of the primary ingredients, it doesn't smell the same and it doesn't feel as luxurious, but it still works well. As you probably know the founder, Jim Markham, sold to L'Oreal in 2007 and now has a new, fifth entry into the market, a product line called ColorProof ... was terribly expensive in only select salons, but it now looks like it is becoming available on Amazon at more reasonable prices. It's supposedly the next generation sulfate-fee, salt free surfactant to gently cleanse hair w/o stripping color. As I run out of my current supply of pureology (still a good deal), I plan to give it a shot to see for myself.

I don't see it listed in the ingredients. I have heard that they recently changed their formula and I have the old version.

I bought the original formula (the White tops). I haven't tried the new formula (black top), but I heard it's thicker and not as effective as it used to be.

I actually have a bottle of both sitting in front of me and had no idea there was an ingredient change with the new bottle. I havent used it yet but I will update my review once I do.

I've never had to encounter this problem BUT I would try to soak it in a few products. OXY works well for me with some things. Spray and wash may work as well but spray it and scrub it by hand. Other than that, I wouldn't know. Google around...which I'm sure you have already. Sorry to hear that.

Noticed the last time I ordered it,it smelled different. Wondered if it had changed. This bottle did not work as well.

The new formula of Solar Protection is extremely greasy. I used to use the older product (in a white and beige tube) and I used to love it. The new formula is awful so I switched to Tizo 3 and love love love it. Not greasy and perfect under makeup.

The first three times I used it it was perfect. Now, not so much . I'm due again and I plan to open a NEW bottle of the perm solution, the first part. I know what you mean but I'm not sure if it actually loses potency.

You are correct. Two to three years ago their stuff was the same. The last order I bought was switched to something else. My nose dripped constantly so I knew it was a different formula. Not the same now. I'm still searching for something as good as Actifed....not much luck so far.

I don't believe there is a change in the ingredients. I have been using this for a long time and it is the same.
