I suffer from Psoriasis have done for 40+yrs so am very carefull what I use on my skin, have used Pantene for years with no problem untill now. The so called "NEW" formula Pantene Pro-V Repair & Protect, well it didn't lather up AT ALL I rinsed it off & re-applied still the same, again rinsed off, now my hair felt like straw & there seemed like a burning sensation on my scalp. Thought nothing more untill about 3hrs later when my scalp felt it was on fire I looked in the mirror parted my hair & my scalp was bright red & hot to the touch. Fortunatly I still had some of the old original Pantene so quickly washed my hair again twice. I then had to apply Betnovate cream (for psoriasis) on my scalp overnight hoping it would soothe my skin. The next day I re-washed my hair to get the cream off with the OLD Pantene, the redness & burning had gone & my scalp & hair was back to normal thank god. So untill Pantene brings back the OLD formula they have lost another customer.
Now I will have to buy & try shampoos if one doesn't suit at least I'll be able to re-wash with the old Pantene while I still have some, until I find a shampoo that will suit my skin. Why companys have to mess with there products is beyond me. LEAVE THINGS ALONE
