I'm sorry that you didn't enjoy it, but you are in the minority here my friend. We actually have more repeat business than ever with the new formula. And yes, we sacrificied "feel" for improved results. These days, if something doesn't give someone an "in your face" effect in a matter of days or weeks, it's just "not good enough." Instant gratification is a thing of the new generation...needing information, social media, etc at your fingertips, but also energy (megadoses of caffeine/stims), drying out (diuresis with original erase) as well. If I can't notice effects in a week, I question whether it's working. I say "I" because we are all subject to this train of thought these days, myself included.
But having spent close to a year behind the scenes with the new formula, I have no question in my mind that the new formula works better than the old one. It does so in practice, it does so by the science, and it does so according to sales and feedback. The only negative feedback I've seen is from yourself, Johnold, and one other member here. I truly am sorry that you're in the minority and that you put faith in us when making the purchase. Not everything works for everyone, and in this case, you may be one of the few who responded better to the original Erase.
