While hypochlorous acid isn’t new, the acne-fighting skin care ingredient has been taking off on social media in a major way lately.
And Paige DeSorbo recently revealed on “Giggly Squad” that Medicube’s Hypochlorous Acid Daily Facial Spray is the only product she uses on flights, saying it “helps [keep] you from breaking out.”
Double board-certified cosmetic dermatologist Dr. Dendy Engelman is a fan of the calming, hydrating mist as well, telling Page Six Style it’s “very effective at soothing the skin and helping prevent acne breakouts, with clinically proven results.”
For people who are acne-prone, she recommends applying it intermittently — particularly when experiencing excess sweat or oiliness, like after a workout or a hectic travel day.
“Hypochlorous acid is a relatively weak acid that has antimicrobial, antiviral and anti-inflammatory properties,” the NYC-based doc explained of the ingredient, which is also naturally produced by the body.
Dr. Engelman is a double board-certified cosmetic dermatologist and Mohs surgeon at the Shafer Clinic in NYC. Patrick McMullan via Getty Images Engelman added that it can also be used for body acne, or even as a disinfectant.
“As we look ahead to colder months, this is top of mind,” she said. “A hypochlorous acid spray can be used as hand sanitizer or to disinfect surfaces.”
“It helps purify and calm the skin. This one in particular is great for those with very reactive skin, and is accepted by the National Eczema Association, National Rosacea Society and the National Psoriasis Foundation.”
“Another great one. It’s suitable for all skin types, and comes out in a micronized mist that allows for better skin penetration and absorption.”
