It’s impossible to over-hype hypochlorous acid.
In the interest of honesty, I’m not convinced that face sprays need to be as big of a skin care category as they are. In my experience, most do absolutely nothing—and I’ve tested dozens. There are very few exceptions, with the most important and effective one being Tower 28’s hypochlorous acid SOS Daily Rescue Facial Spray.

Simply put, I cannot be without it. As the photo below will corroborate, I have five different bottles; the giant 16-ounce refill, two of the original 4-ounce bottles, and two of the mini 1-ounce bottles (one for my work tote and one for my purse). The science and details behind my obsession with SOS Rescue Spray run deep, but I’ll give you the TL;DR: it’s the key to smooth, soothed, and radiant skin despite whatever your day, genetics, or the environment throws at you.
Besides water and salt, there is only one ingredient in Tower 28’s SOS Rescue Spray formula—hypochlorous acid. That might seem underwhelming, but that will change once I explain the very comprehensive list of scientifically-backed evidence in conjunction with my personal experience.
What Is Hypochlorous Acid?
Hypochlorous acid quickly reduces inflammation and redness. Over time, it also cleans out pores leading to a smoother less congested complexion. Additionally, it sanitizes skin from things like bacteria and pollution that can cause breakouts. You can expect it to create an imperceptible barrier between your skin and all of the yuck flying around in the ether, as well as reduce your skin sensitivity and speed up the healing process.
How Do You Use Hypochlorous Acid?
I was recently in Portugal for two weeks and packed only one of my minis, which was half full. I was using it so often that I began to panic as I watched the liquid in the bottle dwindle. On flights, it refreshes and cleanses my skin while protecting it from recycled stale air. In the hot sunny weather, it neutralizes the breakout-causing bacteria of my sweat. And on a daily basis, it reduces my god-given oiliness, enlarged pores, and redness. Using SOS Rescue Spray is truly the difference between a good and bad skin day for me.
The incredible hype Tower 28’s SOS Rescue Spray has garnered among thousands of shoppers and on TikTok actually doesn’t do it justice. (It’s so successful that it’s inspired a serum and moisturizer by the brand, too.) I’m convinced that you, like me, will end up with a small army of SOS Rescue Spray bottles once you try it.
