It smells like a swimming pool, and that's the hypochlorous acid doing its job: a gentle, non-stripping spray the gurus credit with calming redness, keeping breakouts in check and soothing eczema-prone skin. Tower 28 is widely called the one that put the ingredient on the map, and it even works as a non-drying hand sanitizer. Let it dry fully before layering actives.
