HYPO21 Purifying Skin Spray 100ml – Clean Meets Clinical

Every now and then, something lands on my desk that makes me think: Where have you been all my life? That’s exactly how I felt when I first picked up the HYPO21 Purifying Skin Spray.

Now, I’ve tried my fair share of skincare over the years—creams, serums, oils, potions that promise the world and deliver about as much as my houseplants after I’ve “forgotten” to water them for a week. But this one? Well, it’s different.

What Is It?
HYPO21 is basically skincare in its simplest, purest form. Inside that 100ml bottle is just 100% pure hypochlorous acid—don’t be scared by the science-y name. Your body actually makes HOCl naturally to fight bacteria and calm inflammation. So, we’re talking nature and science having a little love affair, bottled up for your face.

It’s alcohol-free, fragrance-free, preservative-free, and completely non-toxic. Plus, it’s vegan and safe for all skin types, ages, and even those moments when your skin is crying out for something gentle after a salon peel.

How I Used It
I kept it simple—just a few spritzes morning and night after cleansing. That’s it. No rubbing, no faffing about. I also carried it in my bag because I’m one of those people who likes to “freshen up” during the day… especially when the office heat is doing its best impression of the Sahara Desert, so on comes the air con and whilst I might be cool, my skin is not best pleased.

What Happened
Week 1 – My cheeks were less red, my skin felt calmer, and those angry little hormonal spots? Not quite as dramatic.

Week 3 – Skin texture looked smoother, makeup went on better, and I found myself using less concealer and getting less annoying where makeup was sticking to dry patches.

Week 6 – this is where I am now. There is Less redness and  less irritation, so I’m excited to see what happens next with continued use.

And it’s not just me—clinical trials show HYPO21 has an 85% success rate for acne, 81% for eczema, and 84% for rosacea. Not too shabby.

The Verdict
HYPO21 is the kind of product that quietly works its magic without making a song and dance about it. It’s clean, gentle, effective, and basically idiot-proof to use.

If your skin is prone to throwing tantrums—be it acne, redness, dryness, or just post-treatment sensitivity—this is worth having in your stash. It’s one of those “how did I live without it?” products.

Would I buy it? 100% yes.

If you want it, you can grab it from the HYPO21 website or via some of the top skin clinics in the UK.
