I just bought a new (largest available) bottle of free and gentle and within just a few days of using it my husband's skin is destroyed! He has eczema and we have always trusted tide free and gentle. It has never caused problems until now. After doing a little research I found out that you changed the formula and added an ingredient that is causing problems for eczema sufferers all over. Please bring the old formula back!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been breaking out in hives for months now and haven’t figured out what was the cause. Until I googled if tide has recently changed their formula. I used to break out in hives due to certain detergents when I was younger. So I switched to tide. Hadn’t had a problem until a couple months ago. It’s so bad allergy medication doesn’t even work now.. thinking about seeking a personal injury lawyer over this.

I have eczema, allergies, and psoriasis, so when I find something that works, I never change it. Earlier this year, I started to get more hives... but since it's hard to pinpoint what the factors are (could be the weather), I didn't raise any flags to the doctor. Once the summer hit, they got bad enough for the doctor to prescribe meds. They went away with the meds, but then came back. I went back to the doctor, and they suggested another med, but that caused me to wake up with my eyes nearly shut from being swollen. And because I hadn't changed anything in my routine, things were still a mystery. One day, I did laundry right before bed (instead of usually airing it out), and that's when I realized it was probably Tide after I woke up scratching with my skin flaming. It became clearer as I read stories on the web about other people's health issues caused by the new formula. I am now 3 weeks in with a new laundry detergent - didn't change anything else in my routine to make sure this was a controlled experiment - and everything is gone. Hives were on my arms, chest, neck, and groin area. They also activated psoriasis patches on my hands and fingers. Flakiness and rashes on my face and eyes. All gone. This cost me hundreds of dollars between doctor appointments, meds, and lotions. Despite the label, do not use this product if you have sensitive skin. Save your money, tears, stress, and anxiety.

I don’t usually write negative reviews but we have had a terrible time with mysterious contact dermatitis rashes/ itching after using this product this past year. It helped me to read other reviews. Because we had used Tide Free and Gentle in the past, it was not our first go to when trying to find a reason for the problem. I’ve also happily used Tide products for something like 40 years! My husband has sensitive skin—developed horrible pruritic rash on his back particularly. Dr. put him on steroids. I washed and double rinsed all clothing, sheets, blankets etc. for the past six months. This helped only slightly. Then I started developing a rash on my back too. Never had that before in my life. Switched detergent. Washed everything. Amazing. Clothes smell better and my back is much better. Husband’s skin is slowly improving. I have several large bottles of Tide Free— (the downside of subscribe and save). I can give them away but afraid of causing problems for someone else. I get it, stuff happens, but hopefully you will understand there is a real issue and take steps to correct it or at least warn people.

Perfect for sensitive skin. There is no residue from the pods and you get more loads for the price.

Leaves my clothes and towels very soft. I have sensitive skin and Tide Free & Gentle doesn't bother my skin.

Purchase this product for my daughter sensitive skin and she hasn’t had any skin irritations since switching to Tide free & gentle.

Works great with sensitive skin! I wish they would keep it in the store but the option to order online is great.

Cleans exceptionally well…more importantly…for people with Asthma (like me)…being free of fragrance is most appreciated and a Big Plus Healthwise!!!

Extremely sensitive to everything! This is the only detergent I can use that won't stuff me up or itch my skin
