Your immune system literally makes hypochlorous acid to kill bacteria. Tower 28 Beauty just put it in a bottle — and it’s not harsh.
No antibiotics. No benzoyl peroxide crust. Just the same molecule your white blood cells deploy on a fresh cut. Weird flex but it works.
It’s literally hypochlorous acid + water + salt. $28 for 4 oz. The claim that got me: kills acne bacteria on contact without destroying your moisture barrier.
Hypochlorous Acid 0.018%
FDA-cleared as a wound cleanser — safe enough for open skin
Electrolyzed Water
No alcohol. No fragrance. No essential oils. Boring in the best way.
pH Balanced
Sits at 5.0-6.0 so your acid mantle doesn’t freak out

Hypochlorous acid is a tiny, charged molecule that punches holes in bacterial cell walls on contact. It oxidizes them dead in about 60 seconds — then it degrades back into saline. No residue, no bacterial resistance.
- Hypochlorous Acid: Kills acne & calming bacteria on contact
- Sodium Chloride: Just salt — stabilizes the formula
- Water: Electrolyzed to activate the acid
- Nothing Else: No preservatives needed — the pH does the work

Sprays on like a fine mist — disappears in 10 seconds. Zero sting. Zero smell. Just… wet. Then dry. Then nothing. It’s almost disappointing how uneventful it is.
Week 2: my angry chin cyst went flat without drying out the skin around it. That never happens with salicylic acid. Unexpected win: it actually calmed my post-shave irritation better than any fancy serum.

Surface breakouts halved by week 3. Deep cystic ones still happened — just smaller and faster. Redness disappeared faster. Texture stayed the same — this isn’t a resurfacing thing.

It’s not magic — but it’s the most boringly effective antibacterial spray I’ve used. Keeps breakouts in check without fighting your skin. That’s rare.
