Tower 28 SOS Facial Spray (Hypochlorous Acid) INCI & Antioxidant Wait-Time Rule
0.015% Hypochlorous Acid antimicrobial mist. Wait 5-10 minutes to dry before applying Vitamin C or Peptides.
Recommended Spacing: 5 Minutes
Apply in the AM only if paired with broad-spectrum SPF 30–50+ and separated from antagonistic pH/redox actives.
In the PM, HOCl is an oxidizing antimicrobial mist. Wait 5–10 minutes until completely dry before applying L-Ascorbic Acid, Resveratrol, or Copper Peptides.
Hypochlorous Acid (HOCl) is an oxidizing antimicrobial mist that neutralizes L-Ascorbic Acid and oxidizes peptides if layered before completely dry.
Hypochlorous Acid (HOCl) is an oxidizing antimicrobial mist that neutralizes L-Ascorbic Acid and oxidizes peptides if layered before completely dry.
Copper ions in GHK-Cu catalyze rapid single-electron oxidation of Ascorbic Acid while low-pH Vitamin C protonates histidine and strips Cu2+ from the tripeptide.
