How to Layer Hypochlorous Acid in Your Skincare Routine

Hypochlorous acid is designed to fit easily into most skincare routines thanks to its lightweight and gentle nature.

When Should You Apply It?

Hypochlorous acid is best applied to clean skin before heavier products like serums or moisturisers.

A simple routine may look like:

Cleanser
Hypochlorous acid spray
Serums
Moisturiser
SPF (daytime)

Allow the spray to dry before applying the next step in your routine.

Can You Use It with Other Skincare Ingredients?

Hypochlorous acid is commonly used alongside many skincare ingredients, including:

hyaluronic acid
niacinamide
ceramides
moisturisers

If using stronger active ingredients like exfoliating acids or retinoids, it’s generally best to avoid mixing products directly together on the skin at the same time. Allow the hypochlorous acid mist to full dry on the skin before applying your serums and/or moisturiser.

When Can You Use It?

Hypochlorous acid can be used:

after workouts
throughout the day
after sweating
after cleansing
whenever the skin needs a refresh

Its lightweight, non-sticky texture makes it easy to incorporate into everyday routines.
