On application to my skin it doesn't feel like its dragging nor does it feel like my skin is tightening or tacky. It actually leaves it feeling hydrated and removes all traces of make up, I found that it removed waterproof eye make up even better than the original formula. I love the way this product makes my skin feel, as a big fan of the original formula - I am not converted to this! I've already bought a second bottle, I'm hoping they release a travel size version of this as I'd  love to take this on trips away. I definitely recommend this for people with dry skin, its currently only £3 at Boots which I think is a great bargain!
