A hypochlorous acid facial spray with antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, designed to soothe stressed, reactive, or inflamed skin and calm conditions like acne and rosacea.
Gurus overwhelmingly praise this spray for its effectiveness against acne, redness, and irritation, with multiple reviewers calling it essential for breakout-prone skin. The consensus is that it's gentle, hydrating, and versatile enough for daily use or on-the-go application over makeup. One repeated caveat: let it dry completely before applying other actives, as hypochlorous acid can inactivate them. The only friction point is the spray nozzle, which one reviewer found too intense compared to competitors.

"I love to use a hypochlorous acid spray. I've been using hypochlorous acid on my skin for years. If I have breakouts, if I have any redness, if I have any kind of perioral dermatitis, I always have the Tower 28 SOS Daily Rescue Facial Spray mini on me just because it's great to travel with. I spray it on my skin, and before I put anything else on, especially actives, I let this dry down, because you're essentially putting bleach on your skin and it can make any of your other actives inactive. You just want to let this dry down. It is not a hydrating spray toner."

My Skincare Routine for Perioral Dermatitis!
"I love to use a hypochlorous acid spray. I've been using hypochlorous acid on my skin for years.

My Updated Skincare Routine for Melasma & Dark Spots
"This is just a hypochlorous acid spray, and there's a reason for it, it is great for anybody who has skin irritation. For me with my perioral dermatitis, but also because of my melasma, I have noticed that anytime I get really red, if I'm irritated, if I've spent too much time at the gym, if I was out in the sun, if I got really hot, I will keep a bottle of this. I also have the Tower 28 one that's like a travel size that I throw in my bag too. I especially love it because I don't get breakouts, and if you're going to use any antioxidants or a retinoid and some AHA and stuff, then you want to let it dry down before you go in with some of your other products just because it could cancel it out. It's essentially like spraying bleach on your skin, so just keep that in mind. But I think this is just such a great type of product to have in your routine and in your bag, it's like a catchall for so many different skin issues. If you're dealing with any redness like I do, that redness can lead to more melasma or hyperpigmentation, so it's just so nice to have because then you don't have to deal with that."
Life Update: Am I Getting Divorced?
"It's from Tower 28, it's the SOS Daily Rescue Facial Spray. This is hypochlorous acid spray. I love it. I talk about it all the time. I do love that this one's travel size and I just want it specifically on that area. Hypochlorous acid when you spray it onto your skin it's essentially like spraying bleach on your skin but skin safe bleach, and so you don't want to put any of your other ingredients on it."

Every Product I’ve Emptied in 2026 (and What I’d Rebuy 👀)
"I kind of hate the Tower 28 packaging because it has a harsher, more direct, intense spray compared to other options with a finer mist. It's a little bit too intense and jarring, especially when I spray it on my face in the morning. However, when comparing formulas, I really enjoyed it. The formulas are very comparable to each other, and as far as price point goes and how long the product lasts, they're about the same, so you'll be spending about the same amount either way. It really depends on your personal preference."

The BEST Cleansers of 2025 🫧
"The Tower 28 SOS Daily Rescue Facial Spray is simple but effective and has so many benefits being added into your routine. Because hypochlorous acid is a great extra cleansing step that not only will help you to avoid the risk of breakouts because of its antibacterial properties, but also really helps with skin issues like eczema, rosacea, and of course redness. I'm someone who really struggles with redness, especially after cleansing. For some reason, my skin just loves to look super flushed, and it takes a while to calm down. But by introducing a hypochlorous acid spray into my routine, it's just been such an easy way of getting all those skin benefits without really having to think about it. That's one of the things that I really appreciate about it in a spray form."
"The Tower 28 Daily Rescue Facial Spray contains hypochlororous acid, an ingredient that I start using during late spring into early fall because this does a really good job to prevent breakouts. So if you're someone that experiences bacne, chest acne, facial acne, this is a really nice product to use on an everyday basis twice a day. This is something that you can also use throughout the day on top of makeup, on top of sunscreen. It's also very hydrating. It's antimicrobial. It's anti-inflammatory, and it is absolutely fabulous for all skin types. You don't have to be acne prone to use this, but if you are acne prone, this is a lifesaver."

"This is something that I'm going to start incorporating in both my morning and nighttime routine. You can use this once a day if you want, and you can use this several times throughout the day on top of makeup, on top of sunscreen, tinted sunscreen. If you just went to the gym, you just had a yoga class, spray this on top of your skin to disinfect. This is basically like disinfecting your skin, but not in a drying alcohol way. It is very gentle. It's actually quite hydrating on the skin. It doesn't irritate the skin whatsoever. And this is actually a great product to use to repair your skin. Let's say you just had a sunburn. Maybe you just had a scrape or a cut on your arm or your hand. Wherever it is, spray this in those areas to promote healing. This is great to use post treatment of micro needling or inoff lasers. If you're acne prone, give this a try. This will help to prevent breakouts. If you just want this for wound healing, maybe from sunburns, cuts, scrapes, mosquito bites, this is actually a great product to use to heal those bug bites, basically. I'm telling you, lifesaver."

"This has antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. If you're acne prone on your face, your chest, or your back, spritz this from head to toe or just use this on localized areas. It does a good job to keep your skin nice and clear. It will kill fungi, viruses, bacteria, pathogens. It's basically like using hand sanitizer all over your body or your face but way more gentle. It's not harsh in the least. It doesn't dry out your skin. It keeps your skin comfortable and it's also very hydrating as well. If you have redness, this can help to reduce redness. If you have any cuts or scrapes, you can spritz this on those areas and it can help to keep that area clean and heal a lot quicker. I love the one from Tower 28. I can't live without this.

MY NIGHTTIME ANTI-AGING SKINCARE ROUTINE - P.M. SKINCARE ROUTINE OVER 30
"The first product that I've been using is hypochlorous acid. This is by Tower 28, the Daily Rescue Facial Spray. Hypochlorous acid is honestly great for all skin types. Sensitive, oily, normal, dry, it's great for all, but especially if you're acne prone like myself because hypochlorous acid has antimicrobial properties. It's also anti-inflammatory and it really does a good job to prevent breakouts. It's basically like sterilizing your skin every time you use this, but way more gentle. There's no alcohol in here. It's not going to dry out your skin. It actually hydrates the skin, but it does a really good job to speed up wound healing. And again, it prevents breakouts. And this is what I use during the spring, summer, early fall days to prevent breakouts. And it does a really good job."

THE POWER OF HYPOCHLOROUS ACID IN SKINCARE - UNLOCK FLAWLESS SKIN WITH THIS POWERFUL INGREDIENT
"Hypochlorous acid is not drying in the least. It doesn't make my skin feel tight or depleted of hydration. It keeps my skin feeling like my skin but of course you're just adding that nice layer to disinfect and keep your skin nice and clean. Hypochlorous acid also has anti-inflammatory properties to it as well, so if you're someone with redness, you have eczema, psoriasis, or your skin barrier is compromised and you're dealing with a lot of irritation, then hypochlorous acid can help to calm and soothe the skin and reduce inflammation. If you're someone that gets in-office laser treatments or chemical peels and you have scrapes, wounds, or cuts, then hypochlorous acid can help to speed up healing time and keep the skin nice and comfortable at the same time. Hypochlorous acid can also be a very hydrating ingredient. It doesn't dry out my skin whatsoever. It doesn't make my skin feel tight. It really does hydrate and keep the skin very comfortable."

I really wasn't breaking out prior to using this, but now that it's really muggy outside, this is generally the time where acne starts to brew on my face and even on my chest as well. Since being consistent with this with just once a day, this has really made the biggest difference. I highly recommend this product."

"The Tower 28 SOS Daily Rescue Facial Spray is basically hypochlorous acid, so it has antibacterial properties to it, wound healing properties, and it can help to reduce redness as well. Since I am acne prone, especially in the summer months, I need something to kill off bacteria and to keep the skin clear and free of any bacteria which can harbor into acne. I really like it. I have to take back something I said a couple years ago because I really do feel like it does help to reduce redness. It doesn't eliminate the redness from my experience, but it does help to reduce it a little bit. I'm more so using this for the antibacterial properties because I am acne prone. If you're acne prone, I would try using this and see if it works. I think this is great, especially for the summer months. It is hydrating and it does a good job to keep the skin clear and free of bacteria."

"This is hypochlorous acid which has so many wonderful benefits for our skin. Hypochlorous acid is great for those that are prone to breakouts, you have facial acne, you have redness, you're looking for something for hydration. There are so many wonderful benefits. It's anti-microbial. I do have a backup already which I will be using next. If you do like the Tower 28 brand, this one is lovely. There are several size options to choose from as well. This one that I have here is the 120 mil size and I absolutely love it. I'm more consistent with this during summer and fall and more so spring. In the winter I haven't been using this as much but I still like to occasionally use it, especially if I'm noticing that my skin is starting to break out or maybe my facial redness is a little bit more prominent. Then I will start incorporating hypochlorous acid."

"The first product that I'm going to be using is hypocchlorous acid. This is by Tower 28. This is actually called the Daily Rescue Facial Spray, but its main ingredient is hypocchlorous acid. Hypocchloric acid has a lot of benefits to it like it's antimicrobial. It's anti-inflammatory. It's also very hydrating as well. It does not dry out the skin. It doesn't strip the skin. It honestly is a very hydrating ingredient. So, this is great even if you have dry skin. If you have a compromised skin barrier, this is going to speed up that wound healing process and also amazing for acne prone skin, which is why I am currently using this because hypocchloric acid honestly does wonders if you're someone that has breakouts. You're constantly developing acne. It's great for all things like I said. If you develop backne, get somebody to spray it on your back. It makes a world of a difference when you are acne prone."
"I personally would recommend this as opposed to like alcohol wipes because that would be pretty drying. But either way, it's very important to sanitize it if you have any active breakouts or things like that, hold off or see an esthetician or dermatologist."

5 Things You Need to Change For Your Spring & Summer Skincare Routine 🌻🌺💐🌹
"If you're prone to fungal acne, adding in a hypochlorous acid spray isn't a bad thing. Tower 28 has one. Just misting this on your skin once a day, that hypochlorous acid helps kill the things on our face that create an environment for acne, breakouts, fungal acne, things like that. So it can be a nice thing to add into your routine for spring or summer or maybe you always have it in there."
"Let's talk about the Tower 28 SOS Rescue Spray. This is a product that is new to my routine this spring. I have been using it in the winter and as I shared with you in my March favorites, I've been using it over the last couple of months to help prevent breakouts from sweating. My skin can sometimes get very irritated when I sweat a lot from my workouts. I'll use this spray before I work out, I'll sometimes spray it right after, or I sometimes build it into my routine right after my shower from working out. It's not a toner. It's not an essence. It's really a targeted mist for folks who suffer with inflammatory conditions on the skin. It helps to reduce the inflammation, the irritation, the redness and potentially things like eczema, rosacea, and psoriasis flare-ups on the skin, which are all rooted in inflammation within the skin. The only ingredient here is the hypochlorous acid, and this is a great ingredient for what I just said. I have found that it's been really helpful like I said for preventing breakouts because there is an antibacterial benefit to this ingredient, but it's also soothing inflammation."

March Faves | Tower28, Numbuzin, Aestura
"I really tried to build the habit of doing this pre-workout but also post-workout as well and I've noticed that the irritation from sweat, because if sweat's on my skin long enough even washing right away my skin just still feels a little iffy for the rest of the day, I've noticed a lot less redness, I've noticed definitely less congestion and pimples as well. So I do believe that this ingredient is beneficial. This really is a product that is meant to target bacteria and inflammation on the skin and it really is for folks who are really sensitive to sweat, or maybe you do suffer with bacterial acne, maybe you do get eczema flare-ups, maybe you do have rosacea or any kind of inflammatory skin condition. You might want to try something like this and just see if it doesn't cut down on your flare-ups or cut down on the amount of inflammation and redness or just even that raw sensitivity on the skin, because that's what I noticed using this."

"This is a really multi-functional spray that contains the active ingredient hypochlorous acid, which is essentially a naturally derived ingredient that has anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and soothing benefits and can help to balance the skin pH when it's disrupted from cleansing or acne and rosacea. So that's usually the conditions that I kind of recommend using the spray for: anybody that gets breakouts, rosacea flares, or has eczema that needs some instant soothing. This can be helpful. You can spray it on the face and body after exercising, and if your rosacea tends to flare during seasonal transitions, this would be a great product to incorporate into your routine once or twice a day, just spray on your face after cleansing and then carry on with the rest of your skincare routine. This is a pretty great, gentle ingredient to incorporate. It helps to rebalance the pH of your skin that's often disrupted when there's inflammation from rosacea, eczema, or acne."

"The Tower 28 SOS Daily Rescue Facial Spray is super convenient to use and it contains hypochlorous acid that is produced naturally by our immune system. Hypochlorous acid has antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects and also helps to soothe the skin. So for anyone, especially when we are all wearing a lot of mask and that mask caused more acne or mask-related rosacea flares, this spray was great to use even under the face or spray on your mask to really soothe and calm the skin and reduce the irritation and friction. For somebody who struggles with acne and rosacea flares on a regular basis, this would be a great one to put on, basically spray after cleansing and then they can follow up with the rest of their skincare routine to really help keep the skin less irritated."

"Tower 28's SOS spray is really what put hypochlorous acid on the map when it comes to using it in skincare. The reason hypochlorous acid gained so much traction outside of a dermatology office is because people were seeing immense benefits in their skin with regular use.

"This is a hypochlorous acid spray. Hypochlorous acid is actually a compound that is naturally made by our leukocytes or our white blood cells to help defend against things like bacteria and viruses and fungus, but you can use it in a topical form externally to kind of achieve the same thing. So in my mind this is like a true antimicrobial anti-inflammatory multitasker. I see people put this on their face, which I think is a great thing if you have acne or you even struggle with rosacea. It's a huge staple in my regimen but it's often with me on the go. I actually keep this hypochlorous acid spray in my son's diaper bag because he has really delicate skin and I use it to wash his hands."
"I'm going to use the hypochlorous acid to kind of sprit on my face, this is by Tower 28. I do think it's a good habit to have especially if you're somebody who sweats a lot post gym. If you're prone to any sort of acne on your chest or back, using the hypochlorous acid can definitely be very helpful. It is antibacterial and has anti-inflammatory effects as well, and just given that my skin is acting up, I've been under a lot of stress, good thing to kind of just help reset."
"This is a game changer for my rosacea. I spray this twice a day. In the morning I literally just spritz it, and in the evening I do the same on dry skin, let this dry down, and then you can go in with your actives. It smells like a swimming pool. I was under the impression that you can't use this with antioxidants, but apparently you can use it as long as you use it first, let it completely dry on your skin, and then you can go in with your antioxidants. Personally, if you're using vitamin C, I would use that in the morning then use this in the evening. It's been calming and soothing on breakouts, irritated skin, rosacea. Whenever I ruin my skin barrier, I mass ordered this."
"I love the Tower 28 SOS Daily Rescue Facial Spray. This is beautiful, especially if you have acne-prone skin. I honestly wish I had this during my intense acne days because I feel like it would have really come in handy, but I love having it anyways even though I don't always have active breakouts. It's nice if I'm feeling like I've got a little bit of texture or something like that. This is so beautiful and it just is great for sensitive skin. You don't have to worry about that if you have sensitive skin. So it's just a nice little spray all over the face. I have loved it. It's beautiful."
"One thing I do get at Sephora that I love is the Tower 28 SOS Daily Rescue Facial Spray. It's a hypochlorous acid spray, soothing and calming for the skin. If your skin is irritated, you just give it a little spritz and it takes away the irritation really, really quickly. It's instantly cooling and takes away that sting, and I love it."

"I've got a new weapon in my skincare routine to fight that irritation this winter and I'm absolutely loving this. It's from Tower 28, it's their SOS Daily Rescue Facial Spray. This is a hypochlorous acid spray, it's super gentle and super effective in calming and soothing the skin. It's antibacterial, it's antimicrobial, so it fights acne, it fights infections. After I wash my face I pat my skin dry, I don't get it super completely dry, I don't wait any amount of time, then I give myself a spritz with my hypochlorous acid spray. I spray my face and my neck and then I rub it around a little bit and then I just give it a couple of seconds to dry. I don't necessarily put this on every single day, mainly if I wake up and my skin is feeling just a little bit itchy, a little bit dry and irritated, I'll give it a spritz with this. Sometimes I use it at night."
Counting Down The BEST SKINCARE of 2024!
"I started using the Tower 28 SOS Daily Rescue Facial Spray on my neck and oh my gosh, this is it. It gets rid of my irritation on my neck in a matter of minutes instead of hours or days. When I first feel my neck getting hot and tingly and itchy I can just give this a spray and it takes care of it, and it has kept all irritation away. I swear this is the most comfortable my neck has been in years. In the dead of winter, in January with heat on and no moisture in the air, my neck is not red, irritated or on fire, and it's because of hypochlorous acid. The main difference I noticed compared to another hypochlorous acid product is that this one has a bit of a fragrance to it, but this one is a little bit of a finer mist. Sometimes I do it before I put on my skincare and sometimes I put it on after I put on my skincare and I literally just mist and let it soak in, and I have had no irritation on my neck. I'm so thrilled."

"The Tower 28 SOS hypochlorous acid spray is a new discovery for me this year that I am so psyched about. Hypochlorous acid is one of the workhorses of the dermatologist toolkit, they use it for everything. It can help to minimize your acne, it can help to minimize your skin irritation, and my neck is constantly irritated and I just give it a spritz with this and it takes away the irritation almost immediately. My neck has been so non-irritated this fall. I just love this. This is a really great product, and it also comes in a mini if you just want to try a mini or give one to someone who maybe has acne or irritated skin to try."
"It's a purified, stabilized molecule that our own immune cells naturally produce to fight off bacteria and soothe irritation. Tower 28 figured out how to bottle that in a safe, skin-friendly formula -- and that's actually not easy to do. Hypochlorous acid is really hard to stabilize and it does not mix well with other actives, which is why this product keeps it simple and pure. That's what makes this an OG. It's clinically effective, super gentle, and easy to use anywhere. I like spritzing it after the gym -- I keep it in my gym bag -- when my skin feels irritated, or when my skin has acne, a rosacea flare-up, or anytime I really need a reset. If your skin's feeling stressed or reactive, this is the one for you."

"I'm really happy that Tower 28 kind of brought it from the derm world into consumers' everyday routines at home. I like to use it on everything from impaired skin barrier to blemishes to sunburns to body acne, and it does help to repair your skin barrier. I struggle a lot with rosacea and sensitive skin, and this is perfect for reducing that miserable redness and irritation. Great for post-workouts -- I keep this in my gym bag. I spritz it all over after working out and it is just a lifesaver. Hypochlorous acid is actually naturally produced by our body's immune system. It acts as the body's first line of defense against microbes -- so that's not just bacteria, but also fungi, viruses -- leaving your skin feeling a lot more clear, a lot more healthy. This is just a staple."

"The Tower 28 SOS Daily Rescue Facial Spray comes in a travel-friendly size. Hypochlorous acid has been a really buzzy ingredient this year and last year, which is interesting to me because as dermatologists we've used it in treating wounds for a long time. Hypochlorous acid is actually produced by our own body; our immune cells use it to kill bacteria and calm down inflammation, and when put into a spray it can do all of that. We love its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. You can use this on acne, rosacea, skin that's inflamed, and it really helps to cleanse the skin and neutralize the bacteria. It's also a great hack for workouts: if you're at the gym and don't have time to wash your face afterwards (I do recommend washing your face afterwards), you can always spritz this on when you're sweating and your face is dirty from being in the gym environment or from touching your face after handling gym equipment. This is a good one to throw in your gym bag."

"This you can think of as your soothing anti-inflammatory antimicrobial toner that you can use pretty much anywhere. It's like a little magic potion. If you had something that was way too strong last week that burned and damaged your skin you can use this to help calm it down. If you have a little patch of itchy irritated skin, whether that's from eczema or from exposure to something that you hadn't tried before, you can try this as well. If you find that you have a little breakout you can use this there as well. I would say this will not replace, however, your dermatologist approved treatments for your skin conditions. For example, this is not going to replace any regimen that I give my patients for eczema or for rosacea or for allergic reactions. This is meant more as an over-the-counter treatment that you can try in addition to and as an adjunct to your dermatologist prescribed and recommended treatments."
