Let's make one thing clear before we start , hypochlorous acid is a mild acid, but boasts powerful antimicrobial properties—studies have shown over 100 times more effective than bleach..... Bleach! i hear you cry, just stick with us....
Often found in various cleaning products, including surface and pool cleaners, hypochlorous acid has also made its way into skincare formulations.
However, let's just clarify right now and confirm in writing that the hypochlorous acid in household cleaners differs significantly from that used in skincare
When appropriately diluted, hypochlorous acid effectively targets harmful bacteria while remaining gentle on the skin, even for those with sensitivities. Experts recommend its use for addressing various bacterial skin issues, such as acne, eczema, and psoriasis, as it helps disinfect the skin, reduces inflammation, and accelerates natural healing.
There should be no reason why anyone should stay clear of introducing hypochlorous acid into your skincare routine ( unless you have experience rare adverse reactions) but it's worth noting you are already exposed to it daily.
Your body naturally produces this compound through white blood cells to combat infections and bacteria. When you suffer a cut or scrape, hypochlorous acid works to fend off harmful germs.. impressive don't you think ...?
So the next time you are looking for your next skin product, consider Puromist. - the hypochlorous acid spray, which can be used and applied to the skin as part of your skin regime to heed beneficial effects.
