Is it true that the formula has changed?

Yes. It now contains Sodium Laurel Sulfate (or something related). Back around 1995 I was co-owner of a day spa, and attended a presentation by Nioxin. One of the big points they stressed was how their shampoo did not contain sodium laurel sulfate because it was linked to hair loss. At some point Nioxin was bought out by Procter and Gamble. Then sodium laurel sulfate began to appear on the ingredients list. I've stopped using it myself as a result.

Dear Lisa, I have been a long time user of Nioxin and have noticed a change in the product a long time ago and notified Amazon of the change in consistency and the price reduction. I contacted the owner of Nioxin and they informed that the product was being made in Mexico which was their new production facility for the product. I continue to use the product reluctantly as it still does the job for me but the results are not as satisfying as it used to be. I dont have my old email to Amazon but I believe P&G owns the label and distribution now. I have never heard back from Amazon. Ira Palm Beach Gardens, Fl

Hi Lisa.....I don't know, I am using older stock and haven't ordered in a while. I am sorry :-(

I'm not sure if the formula has changed as the consistency and color are the same. I have been using this for a number of years, was suggested to me by my sister-in-law who is a professional hear dresser. This will not make your hair thicker. If you read the description it basically says "your hear will FEEL thicker". I am happy with it and will continue to use it. Oh yea, a little goes a long way, when I shampoo my hair I use an amount in my palm about the size of a quarter. Hope this helps.

I have a couple of gallons left that came from the Georgia factory back in 2008 before the P&G; purchase. On the bottle it says it contains Sodium Laurel Sulfate and it says it was manufactured in the USA by Nioxin Research Labs. This was before Mexico and P&G.; So apparently Nioxin put Sodium Laurel Sulfate in it. There are several names for Sodium Laurel Sulfate, and multiple derivatives but essentially they are the same.

I don't know what was the previous formula, but this product is fantastic. I used it for 2 years in a row, but must admit that hair demand to change shampoo/ conditioning time after time.

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/

I personally didn't know the formula changed. I subscribe to it maybe every 3 months or so. And had a doubled up order awhile back. And so I haven't gotten a new one yet. Maybe that'll be obvious? If the "flavor" is off or it gets the white crustyness I'll have to look

I have no idea, they renew products but of course they change formula as well...

Sorry for the delay in response, as far as I understand no. I checked the ingredients on both the new "look" and the older version and nothing seems to be different.

Since I'm not the manufacturer nor do I sell this product, I have no idea if the formula has changed. When I spoke to the company nearly 2.5 months ago, they mentioned there was going to be a package or branding change, but there was no mention of a formula change. A couple of suggestions: (1) you can review the ingredients of the old packaging/green bottle through Amazon.com and you can compare it to the ingredients on your purchase to see if there are any changes, (2) you can call the company direct for additional information and it would be nice to know what you discover by sharing your information on Amazon. I hope this was helpful, since I have not purchased the orange container yet. Be well. Since I'm not the manufacturer nor do I sell this product, I have no idea if the formula has changed.

Hi Herman, Yes, that's correct, we have updated the formula. We are always looking to improve and offer an even better experience for our customers. I'm not sure I follow, though, are you asking if if the new formula is dangerous? Or stating that it is dangerous? Either way, it's not. The formula has taken some small tweaks, but by and large is the same formula, just stronger. We took a few of the smaller ingredients and worked in more of the stronger ingredients, plus added D-Aspartic Acid. The new formula is now even stronger and more potent. Thanks, Matt

I believe this could be a new formula. It was in the newer designed bottle, not the one old style pictured. But it doesn't say anything on the bottle if the formula had changed.

The packaging has changed, the product and the ingredients have not. They have added the "Do Not Use on Cats" warning to cover their backsides in case someone overdoses their cat. It is the same product. Here is a link to a Bayer Memo advising of the change and stating that there has been NO CHANGE in the formula. http://www.uppet.com/documents/Bayer%20New%20Packaging%202014.pdf

It hasn't been changed, but I just use my own recipe. It doesn't change the effectiveness of the mat to me, since I just use it for the size measurements.

I just recently bought some and haven't opened the new ones. Didn't even realize that the formula had changed.

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!!

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

I'm not sure how recently this may have happened; haven't heard anything about their formula changing. I purchased my bottle about 1-2mths ago & it works great for our cloth diapers. Also is a miracle-cleaner when it comes to removing spit-up smell/stains from sofas, car seats, etc!

They changed the formula of this shampoo about a year ago. I had used this shampoo for over ten years and loved it, but they removed an ingredient that was supposedly a carcinogen, and totally changed the entire product. I don't think it is selling as well lately, as I see tons of bottles just sitting in stores, and today saw that Target was even selling two bottles for the price of one -- which was unprecedented.

The earlier version of this product was effective on white residue. I believe they changed the formula about 10 years ago and it is not as good on thar score as it used to be.

No it's definitely different packaging. Whether or not it's the same formula, I'm not sure.
