this review title is: this time it was not up to par and the content is: i am not sure what happened to my product this time i have used this product for several years it is typically white porous to the touch but applies with a smooth texture and pleasant fragrance this time it was as though the product had been altered however when it arrived it was not in the usual box but rather in a plastic bag it was brown in color and smooth almost greasy with an unusual odor when i opened it i actually joked that it appeared as though someone had added bacon grease to the jar as it smelled similar to the left overs in a cast iron skillet after someone had fried bacon i was hesitant to put the product on my face because i honestly did not know what was in that jarbut i do know it was not strivectin instant facial sculpting cream i believe this was an unusual instance and not the typical scenario for purchasing this product i have ordered it through amazon several times and have been please with product price delivery and packaging it just was not like that this time.there are other information for this review, one is this reviewer did purchase it and the other is 5 people think this review is helpful.
