Besides helping heal irritation and acne, reduce redness and ease itchiness, hypochlorous acid helps strengthen the skin barrier, especially during dry weather. It’s so gentle yet effective that you can use it to cleanse your eyelids, as another dermatologist told HuffPost. The versatile Prequel solution has also been accepted by the National Rosacea Society for use on rosacea.

Prequel’s spray bottle makes the solution especially easy to apply, according to reviewers. “I also love the spray nozzle — makes a great mist,” one reviewer said. “It has THEE finest mist it could possibly have,” wrote another.

“Excellent to keep my skin free of bacteria before I use my red light mask, before and after working out. Or if a feel the tingle of a focal breakout. Will keep buying this. I have aging skin that is dry with acne easily triggered by makeup or sweating. This is an excellent solution” —NmMC

“I have been on Rx topicals for my rosacea for years and years, but after using the spray for literally only two days my redness has gone down a ton. Not only does it reduce redness, it tightens my skin after cleaning and significantly reduces my pores. Yet another Prequel product I am in love with.” —DACEK

“I had a horrible rash on my back, This solution cleared it in a week! I’m totally sold on it and will order more soon!!” —Tony

“My quick life saver for any type of skin day. Whether that’s going to the gym and need a little skin refresh, or if I’m feeling a bit scaly from my dry skin, or even just as little wake up. It does the job very well.” —Kaerys

“I just purchased this for the 3rd time. I love the versatility of hypochlorous acid! I use this for skin irritation, minor injuries, after exercise (and before putting on my climbing shoes, on my feet!), on my underarms...I seriously cannot go without this. My preteen/teen kids have also seen benefits, as they have begun to experience mild acne. I appreciate the price (especially in comparison to the T28 counterpart). I will continue to purchase this as a staple in my skin/health care routine.” —Amanda F.
