Yea. I learned about it in my marketing class. They wanted to appeal to a younger demographic and found that Oil in their name made it seem older and less hip, plus the woman on the packaging looked older, so they quietly dropped the Oil from their name and discretely made the woman on their logo younger-looking.

The packaging and marketing HAVE changed dramatically over the past few years. I remember it used to be that pink bottle and it smelled a little weird. Plus, the word "oil" in face products doesn't really sound appealing I guess...haha.

Yea. They didn't publicize the change at all and tried to make it as discrete and seamless as possible to make it seem like the only change was in the consumers' minds.

I do have normal skin that is sensitive. I have never had acne on my face, though I do get rosacea from the sun.

I use Noxzema to wash my face. For moisturizer, I use either Oil of Olay SPF 15 or Cetaphil.

I like Ulta's moisterizer for sensitive skin. It has SPF in it but won't cause breakouts. (I can't wear sunscreen on my face every day otherwise.)
