Haven't fallen in love with this like so many Redditers etc. Not my HG cleanser by any means, but it works well. I'm not used to the feeling after using, it is not tight but I feel it is CLOSE to being tight after use. My skin feels an unnatural smooth, which goes away immediately after using an acid or moisturizing toner. I find it safe to take round the eyes, though. This is definitely a second step cleanser.
