Hypochlorous Acid is created from dissolving chlorine in water. It is a weak acid that has antimicrobial properties.

Due to its ability to kill bacteria, it can be used to treat acne. We recommend speaking with a professional if you have any concerns or questions.

Fun fact: Hypochlorous acid naturally exists in our bodies. It is created by white blood cells to protect us from infections and bacteria.
