You’ve seen the clear mist all over your feed. It’s not a gimmick — and the first time I sprayed it on a sunburn, I actually stopped whining.
The magic isn’t the bottle. It’s the hypochlorous acid — the same stuff your body naturally makes to heal itself. Tower 28 Beauty just bottled it without the hospital smell.
It’s $28 for 4 oz. The claim that made me buy it: “calms irritation in one spray.” I laughed. Then I had a cystic pimple that looked angry enough to file a complaint.
Hypochlorous Acid 0.01%
Kills bacteria on contact — no burning, no sting.
Saline Base
Mimics your skin’s natural pH. Won’t mess with your barrier.
No Preservatives
Shelf-stable because of the packaging. Weird but true.

Three ingredients total. That’s it. The hero is hypochlorous acid — your immune system’s cleanup crew. The other two are water and salt. No fragrance, no alcohol, no nonsense.
- Hypochlorous Acid: Zaps acne bacteria and calms redness on contact
- Water: Carries the active without irritation
- Sodium Chloride: Balances pH so it doesn’t burn
- Nothing Else: Literally. Check the back of the bottle.

Mist is finer than my $80 face water. Absorbs in 8 seconds flat. First spray on a fresh breakout felt like a cold glass of water on a hot day — but for my face.
Two weeks in: my teenager’s eczema patches calmed down. My own chin acne? Still there, but less red. One weird thing — it stings for half a second if you have an open wound. Fair warning.

Redness dropped 40% in week one. Breakouts healed 2 days faster than usual. Those deep underground pimples? Still took their sweet time. Not a miracle — just really good at calming the drama.
For skin that throws tantrums, this is the chill pill it needs. Not sexy. Just smart.
