The product that I fell in love with and gave a five star rating along with thousands of other reviewers is now gone!
I used this product for over a year. I loved it! It cleared up dark circles, fine lines, and scars. I used it on my surgery scars and it helped tremendously to fade them. The last time that I ordered there were some distinct changes in the formula.
-It seemed watered down
-It had a hint of yellow in the liquid (as opposed to clear)
-There was a distinct scent that had not been there before
-The bottle began to form a thick white crust on the rim
My face felt dry and just not right. I contacted Amazon.com thinking that maybe I had received a spoiled product. I received a replacement with the same issues. I compared the packaging to the one that I had received 2 months before and I understood the reasons for the changes that I had noticed. IT IS A DIFFERENT PRODUCT!! The company never bothered to clarify that! The product that I fell in love with and gave a five star rating along with thousands of other reviewers is now gone! It has been replaced by junk. See the pictures. On the left is the original product. This new Pro-Astax should get a new page with its own set of reviews. Aside from the change in ingredients the address of the company is different. The product on the left is the one that earned thousands of positive customer reviews. The one on the right is the disappointing counterfeit. Give it a separate page with its own reviews!! It's deceptive to keep them both on the same set of reviews!! Anything sold after July of 2015 is not the five star product!
