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.

Hypochlorous Acid is a HOLY GRAIL ingredient!
This spray has helped treat both my acne and eczema! The antimicrobial properties of hypochlorous acid are amazing!

This is my first Hypocholous Acid product, so I'm not sure if my opinion is based in that particular ingredient or the product as a whole, but I have to admit it has worked wonders on my skin.

I've been using Azelaic Acid products for my rosacea and my acne for a very long time, and honestly, this works even better when it comes to reducing my redness: Results show almost immediately after the Show more

I love this spray. I use it morning and night and periodically during the day if I’ve gotten extra sweaty. I also spray it on my pillows and bring it when traveling to spray whatever I lay my head on. It has consistently helped my acne more than any other product. The only downside is that it smells like a pool but that smell quickly goes away when it’s dried.

I’ve seen a great improvement in my skin after the first couple uses. Just an fyi, since hypochlorous acid is chlorine dissolved in water, it does have a choline smell, but when it dries, the smell goes away.
