Like every Laurel product I've used, the Hydrating Elixir feels great on my skin. It has a very fine spray and applies beautifully. My skin feels better after using it. The only downside is that it smells very earthy—which I suppose is a sign of all the botanicals that are used in it. I wish it had a little of that aromatherapeutic benefit that you get with other toners/sprays.
