When did this happen? I wasn’t sure if the milk glass bottle was gonna become plastic, then I saw this! I like! Clear glass
I like the clear glass bottle (so I can see what's going on inside) but I hate how the new, round, cap screws on.
Now I’m confused. My milk white bottle seals/unseals with a quarter turn. So how does the new clear bottle seal?I’m the opposite on the cap. I like the fact that it’s just 1/4 turn from sealed to open. I picked up mine at my local Target about 6 weeks ago. First time trying the product, but I enjoy everything about it.
I like the clear glass bottle (so I can see what's going on inside) but I hate how the new, round, cap screws on. So much so I'm giving consideration to decanting the clear glass bottle into one of the old white glass bottles once it's empty, but... I'm not sure.
Yes, I am easily paralyzed by indecision.
I also notice the old, white bottle is labeled "Made in Germany". The new, clear bottle is marked "Made in Mexico".
Getting confused myself... Here's what I know as the "old" white bottle with square cap (made in Germany), compared with the "new" clear bottle with the quarter-turn, round cap (made in Mexico):Now I’m confused.

Huh. Even weirder. Mine is the white bottle on the left with the cap on the clear bottle on the right.Getting confused myself... Here's what I know as the "old" white bottle with square cap (made in Germany), compared with the "new" clear bottle with the quarter-turn, round cap (made in Mexico):

Apparently the formula has changed as well as the bottle. Here's what I found after doing some digging...
Old Bottle:
Water, Glycerin, Dicaprylyl Carbonate, Panthenol, Isopropyl Palmitate, Tapioca starch, Tocopheryl Acetate, Bisabolol, Chamomilla Recutita, Glycine Soja Oil, Triceteareth-4 phosphate, Carbomer, Sodium Hydroxide, Citric Acid, Phenoxyethanol, Methylparaben, Fragrance
New Bottle:
Water, Glycerin, Isopropyl Palmitate, Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract , Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel) Bark/Leaf Extract, Tocopheryl Acetate, Tapioca Starch, Triceteareth-4 Phosphate, Maltodextrin, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Carbomer, Sodium Hydroxide, Phenoxyethanol, Piroctone Olamine, Fragrance
Quite a difference. The newer formula is "missing" six ingredients that were present in the old formula and contains four ingredients not present in the old formula. Here's an alphabetized list of ingredients (where [A] = Added, [R] = Removed):

Obviously I'll need to do some side-by-side comparisons. I really like the old formula so I'm hoping the new is at least as good.
I know, right? I too am hoping I'm not losing an old favorite. *sigh*... Unfortunately, in the shaving world, it seems like formula changes almost always mean changes for the worse. I hope thats not the case here.
Looking forward to the comparisons between old and new formulas. Unfortunately, in the shaving world, it seems like formula changes almost always mean chnages for the worse. I hope thats not the case here.
Nooooooooooo. Why would anyone change this formula?Apparently the formula has changed as well as the bottle. Here's what I found after doing some digging...

Looks like they have removed the parabens. I hope it doesn’t change how it works. I’ll take a look at my white bottle with the quarter turn cap to see if the formula is new or old. I’m expecting old.Apparently the formula has changed as well as the bottle. Here's what I found after doing some digging...

Glad the parabens are gone. I don't know if overall this is good or bad (the other ingredients) I would bet there will be little to no difference. Nivea knows what they are doing and will keep quality I think more so than some of the other reformulations. No one is clamoring for old Prorasso, so there is some hope that the reformulation may improve or at least not make the product worse.Looks like they have removed the parabens.
