Interesting. There is a strong resemblance with the lady. All the
features seem to match up really well, including the eyes, chin and
cheeks. The nose looks just a smidgen different but the picture in the old
ad is at an odd angle.
The man is a bit harder since he has way, WAY less hair has glasses on.
But in the original picture, his nose is more of a concave pointy thing
and in the newer picture its more of a convex hookish thing. Otherwise
the creases around the mouth match up. The guy in the old picture has a
widow's peak, which is genetic.
Someone should e-mail the people in the new picture and ask them some
telling question, like ask the guy if he used to have a widow's peak, but
ask in a way that suggests you're interested in the product, like you're
losing your hair and wonder if the product will prevent that, and oh, by
the way, did you used to have a widow's peak? :)
