I bought this for my angry chin. I use it on my gym bag now.
The real hack? It kills the smell of my boyfriend’s hockey gear without turning the whole apartment into a chemical warzone. One spritz, and the musty car smell is just… gone.
It’s a hypochlorous acid spray from Tower 28 Beauty. $28. I bought it because they said it calms redness without stripping your skin barrier. I didn’t believe them.
The Mist is Insane
The nozzle shoots a vapor so fine you can’t feel it land — it just disappears into your face in 8 seconds flat.
No Sting Zone
I sprayed it on a fresh popped pimple and it didn’t burn. That’s witchcraft for a spray that’s technically a disinfectant.
Zero Scent
It smells like absolutely nothing. No rose, no cucumber, no “clean” marketing nonsense. Just sterile air.

Don’t let the science words scare you. It’s basically electrolyzed salt water — the same stuff hospitals use on wounds, but gentle enough for your face. The hero ingredient is hypochlorous acid, which your body actually makes to fight bacteria.
- Hypochlorous Acid: Kills acne bacteria on contact without nuking your moisture barrier
- Sodium Chloride: Just salt — helps stabilize the solution so it doesn’t expire in a week
- Water: Electrolyzed and purified until it’s basically magic ph-balanced water

It hits your skin like a cool cloud. No stickiness. No film. Just a second of cold and then you forget you sprayed anything at all. My face drinks it in 10 seconds and looks exactly the same — but less red.
Week two I got cocky and sprayed it on my scalp after a sweaty run. No more itchy scalp at 2pm. I’m not washing my hair as much now — and my hair looks better because of it.

After three weeks: my redness is 40% less angry. My gym bag doesn’t smell like a dead animal anymore. My makeup brushes haven’t broken me out once. But my deep cystic acne? Still there. This isn’t Accutane in a bottle.

It’s the best “I don’t know what to do with my face right now” spray I own. Not a miracle worker — but a damn good sidekick.
