Sprayed this on a blind pimple forming under my jaw on a Tuesday. By Thursday it was flat. Not gone, but flat enough to cover with concealer and forget.
It doesn’t sting. That’s the part nobody tells you. Most acne sprays feel like chemical warfare — this one feels like nothing, then works anyway.
It’s hypochlorous acid — which sounds scary but is literally what your white blood cells already make to kill bacteria. Tower 28 Beauty sells it for $28. I bought it for the “post-workout refresh” claim. Stayed for the multi-tasking.
0.01% Hypochlorous Acid
Strong enough to kill bacteria, gentle enough for eczema — weird but true.
Saline Base
Essentially salt water. Helps it absorb in 10 seconds flat. No sticky residue.
No Alcohol, No Fragrance
If it burns, it’s not this. My reactive skin actually sighed relief.

Four ingredients total. That’s it. No filler, no marketing fluff, no “proprietary blend” nonsense. The formula is so simple it almost feels like a scam — until you see it work.
- Hypochlorous Acid: Kills acne bacteria on contact without wrecking your moisture barrier
- Sodium Chloride: Saline base that mimics skin’s natural pH
- Water: Electrolyzed to activate the acid
- Sodium Bicarbonate: Stabilizer so it doesn’t degrade in sunlight

Sprays like a fine mist — think Evian facial spray but with a purpose. Dries down to nothing. No tackiness, no film, no scent. I kept waiting for it to do *something* noticeable. It doesn’t. That’s the point.
Week two I realized my gym bag smelled less like a wrestling mat. Then I sprayed it on my scalp after a sweaty run — no itch for three days. Weirdest win of the year.

My hormonal chin acne calmed down by about 40% — not cured, but noticeably less inflamed. My makeup actually stayed put longer when I used this as a setting mist. The scalp thing? Totally accidental, totally keeping it.
It’s not magic. But it’s the closest thing to a “does everything, hurts nothing” product I’ve used in years. Keep one in your gym bag, one in your bathroom, and one in your desk drawer.
