Hypochlorous acid

Topical hypochlorous acid gently calms redness, eases irritation, clears blemishes, and supports comfortable healing for balanced skin. This supportive ingredient suits dry and oily skin types best, and it is most commonly found in lightweight serums and soothing mists. Because it layers easily with other products, it integrates smoothly into any daily skincare routine.
