Hello, I have just placed an order for the Alterna Caviar Anti Aging shampoo and conditioner (Item A259407). When I read the ingredients for the shampoo and conditioner on QVC.com, they are VERY different than when I read the ingredients for the EXACT SAME item on Sephora or Ulta. The QVC ingredients are not as appealing. Does anyone know if Alterna is making a different one for QVC (doesn't seem likely), or if QVC just has the wrong ingredients listed? Wondering if I should cancel order and buy from Sephora. Thanks for any advice!

Interesting, I copied the ingredients lists here so I could compare more easily, and you're right. While there are some similarities, the lists are quite different. Not sure why.

I just checked the ingredients on Folica.com - same as Sephora and they're offering 20% off and a gift today. I don't have to pay tax there either.

Email Alterna, too -- see if they offer the same explanation.
