Product Overview
SkinSmart’s spray-on facial cleanser uses hypochlorous acid—our body’s own antimicrobial molecule—delivered in a simple, non-sting formula. It targets acne-causing bacteria without scrubbing or rinsing and is designed for teens and adults who want quick, gentle face and body hygiene after workouts or throughout the day.

Ingredient Breakdown
| Ingredient | Benefit | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Hypochlorous Acid (0.01%) | Targets acne-causing bacteria and helps calm irritation without drying. | HOCl is a skin-friendly antimicrobial; may have a faint “pool water” scent. |
| Electrolyzed Water | Vehicle/base that delivers HOCl evenly in a gentle, watery spray. | Dries fast and leaves no residue; no rinse needed. |
| Sodium Hypochlorite (0.004%) | Trace component from the electrolysis process to stabilize available chlorine. | Present at very low levels in the finished solution. |
Why It Stands Out
Minimal formula with HOCl, water, and a trace stabilizer means fewer potential irritants. The spray format is fast and gym-bag friendly, and the formula is fragrance- and alcohol-free—ideal for sensitive or sweaty skin that needs frequent, gentle cleansing.

How to Use
Spray a light, even mist on clean, dry skin (face or body) and let it air-dry—no rinsing required. Use after workouts or 1–3× daily as needed. Follow with moisturizer and sunscreen in the daytime.
Cautions & Considerations
For external use only
Avoid contact with eyes. Discontinue use if irritation occurs. Do not use on serious burns or if you’re sensitive to any ingredient.
Scent & sensitivity
A mild “pool water” smell can occur with HOCl. If you notice dryness, reduce frequency and layer moisturizer.
Expectations & routine
HOCl helps reduce surface bacteria, but breakouts with hormonal drivers may need additional care (retinoids, BPO, or professional guidance).
Sun safety
Always finish daytime routines with broad-spectrum SPF to protect healing or blemish-prone skin.
