Sudden allergic reaction to...I can't say it.

    I wasn't sure if they changed the formula from a few years ago but I obtained 2 bottles of Superior 70 from Walgreens a few months back. At first whiff, I thought something was very slightly different...not bad, just different...about the formula, but with Dale's input decided it was my imagination. Anyway, the first time I slapped some of the new bottle on, I had a mild allergic reaction: sinus itching like a head full of ants, sneezing, etc. So of course I parked the 70 and promptly forgot about the reaction, dismissing it as coincidence.

    This morning I woke up late and was rushed, so slapped it on (Christmas week at work; figured it'd go well). About 5 minutes later, the same reaction. I just took Claritin to knock it down, it's that bad. I have no cold nor allergy otherwise and nothing else in my routine this morning is different - just the 70. So I figure there's gotta be something different in this new batch because this did not happen 3-4 years ago when I first tried it.

    I foresee a PIF of two new bottles of Superior 70 in the future...sad, because it's one of the few BRs I've actually liked a lot.

    Oh no! I would definitely write the company and ask them what they did to ruin their product for you!
