New improved Formual Nivea ASB vs Old Formula ASB?

**jimzhapy2cu** · 12-04-2006, 07:17 AM

I was browsing through the store this past weekend and noticed that Nivea Sensitive ASB now has an improved formula. After comparing the ingredients I noticed the "new" formula only contains - chammolie and Vitamin E. However the older forumala contained - chammolie, Calendula, Allontin and Vitamin E. Has anyone noticed or felt and different using the two? P.S. sorry if my spelling is incorrect.

I've been a huge fan of this stuff for a couple years now and was a bit concerned when I saw the new and improved stuff. The only thing I noticed (and my wife) was the newer formula has a stronger scent and a slightly different bottle shape. More aerodynamic.

Yeah I hate that

-Nivea Sensitive : allantoin is another soother and calendula is great for cuts ; however the balm is still good

-Nivea Mild : they have reformulated this one too ; it was super moisturizing ( I have dry skin and I was enough to hydrate), but now it's drying

-Nivea cooling : they have removed castor oil

I think that New and Improved can mean two entirely differnt things. It may mean Improved for the manufacturer meaning that it improved manufacturing efficiencies and lowered production costs. The other side of the coin is that it may be a better product for the consumer.

Let's face it. Tide Detergent must be on its 200th generation of "New and Improved". How much can detergent change?

I just picked up a bottle...Still works but I like the old formula better. I wanted to pick up some good unscented asb and remembered using the nivea a couple years ago. After I put it on I realized one of the changes was the added scent

. Bottom line for me is it is now just an ok balm, it works, but I don't like it as much as the old formula and I don't like the scent. Now I'm back in search of a good unscented asb.

Eh, I like the current generation of Nivea A/S balms. I use the Replenishing balm about 80% of the time. The rest of the time goes to either MB or L'Occitan.
