I have used Neutrogena bar soap for many years and lately I have noticed it doesn't seem to be the same color.  Instead of a deep amber color, it is very light.  Has anyone else noticed that?

Compare ingredients to an older wrapper, if you still have one. Or check online for a recent formula change.

Many long time items have had to drop/change ingredients.

(I miss original formula of Noxema and Vicks VapoRub most of all.  😪

I have about half a jar of original Vicks left. I've guarded it for years. I only take off the lid and inhale it, but never spread it. Ha!!

I’m laughing because that’s exactly what I would do if I still had some!

So... where did you say you live?

(Have you seen the price of Vicks lately?  You might be able to sell sniffs.)

Does it still have the same fragrance?

[limeade]

Yes, it comes in both original and unscented.

I remember thinking the EXACT same thing about the price.  It was $1.00 which seemed so much at the time.  I think it was in the summer of 1966, that I bought that first bar.  I remember because it was my first summer after college, and that summer sticks in my mind.

And the scent of the bar, even today, sort of triggers a memory of that time in my life.  It's odd how scent memory is so strong.
