Bring Back the Old Formula
Skin Type Combination
Age 25 to 34
Why fix something that didn't need fixing? The old formula was absolutely perfect. I still would have accepted the new formula if it didn't have the mattifying starch, it absolutely ruins the cream. The only time I would use this would be on a very hot and humid day. Otherwise, this cream does not give moisturize effectively.

Not the same

Totally agree with the dissatisfied posts on this product. I prefer light application that absorbs. This product now feels like a paper mask on your skin after 20 minutes and did not absorb well. I have been buying this product for almost 40 years. Understand changes needing to be made after so many years but the quality is far less. Being forced to purchase another product for a lot more in this economy does not suit me well. I have actually found an over the counter moisturizer that is really good. I stand behind other products I'm still buying from Babor, can an alternate be recommended for this product? I am buying the over the counter and go back and forth day to day until have another option or I may just change completely away from this product line for moisturizing if can't find at a reasonable cost.

Deeply missing the old formulation
Skin Type Combination
Age 25 to 34
After using and loving the old formulation for years, what a disappointment it was to have it changed to this one...the subtle, clean smell was replaced with a rather strong perfume smell and while the old formula used to be a perfect base for makeup, this is no longer the case as it is not absorbed as well by the skin. Since it's change, I have never been able to find a product as good as the old formula and I sincerely hope it will be back one day.

Very Distinct Formulation Change

Describe Yourself Beauty conscious
I used the old formulation for years. I loved it for my combination skin! This new product has a very strong and different fragrance - Not a fan at all! Also, the active ingredients seem different too. If you are looking for a moisturizer like the old formulation, look elsewhere because in my opinion this will not give you what you are looking for.

I enjoy how this doesn't irritate my sensitive skin, sits well under makeup and provides a nice non-greasy final layer to my skincare routine.
I would buy this again

Was looking for a moisturizer I could use when I have acne that didn't irritate my skin. THIS is exactly what I needed. Love it!!!
Why would you switch the formula?!

You can't call something the same lotion if it's not. I have been purchasing the pure cream and pure cream intense for years. While this lotion is not bad it is not the same. So sad.
