    I see what your saying, the coverup is really bad. It costs next to nothing to take their own photo and add it to the site, instead of trying to type in bold letters over another brand's name makes it look tacky. Especially if they have their own jars labeled with their own brand name printed there (pw). Retaking the photo is practically free and quick to repost, there's really not an excuse especially when the 2 companies have no affiliation. But, I guess they thought no one would notice the difference, which is instead very apparent.

    I was thinking; what are the odds that this PowerWhite entrepreneur randomly decided to use this random eBay gallery picture from this random eBay seller. The eBay seller obviously took the picture herself. They each use some of the same ingredients so it is possible that they are one and the same, no? Powerwhite uses a lot more ingredients which is obviously more costly, but maybe they want to maintain the success of the old eBay product with fewer ingredients, therefore keeping the eBay page. Ok Im done playing detective. Either way like someone else said who cares if they each work. I just need something that WORKS.

    When I placed the order the company said they were awaiting a delivery of gigawhite, so there would be a delay in receiving it. I did eventually get it. It semed very runny and smells like toothpaste. To be honest , I am not convinced that this will work for me and as I am using something else, have put this one on my pile of "yet to try". Really don't like the smell and it does look a tad home made, but hey, can't really comment on it's effectiveness.

    Hmmm... I hope they are reading this so they can fix the errors and step it up. Lol... Gr8stuff 21 days, it sounds like they forgot too. Let us know the quality when it arrives, they owe you a free jar too as interest.

    Maharani, are you going to return it for an exchange? Would if it's not effective?

    I think the runniness consistency is the way it is supposed to be. I knew that it would have the minty fragrance, when I looked back on the website, but did not realise it would be that strong, so I guess an exchange would make no difference, as I would get the same product. Just not sure I would be running to reorder in a hurry, although have yet to test it

    I read on their site earlier today also about the strong minty fragrance... is it tolerable? Some minty smells makes me feel nauseous if it's too strong, unless it's toothpaste or gum.

    The smell is tolerable, but I do think it would fele like I would be putting runny toothpaste on my face. I just don't feel confident in what I would achieve with this product.

    Probably does include some toothpaste, with baking soda and peroxide.

    Whatever it is, nothing more than a science project - on your face and wallet!
