SkinSmart Antimicrobial Eczema Therapy, Hypochlorous Acid Spray, 8 oz

I wish I’d thought to take before/after photos, but—having dealt for weeks with the gross, blistery, weeping eczema that was completely covering my left-inner forearm and creeping up my other arm and my midsection—I was in no mood to collect photo evidence. Backstory on my eczema is I never had it as a kid and have none of the red flags, like asthma, sensitive skin, or allergies, that often correlate with eczema. I just started getting it in the last few years, and it only seems to flare up in the spring and summer, but when it does, it’s BAD, with one infected swath requiring a trip to urgent care and two prescriptions to clear it up. I spent months last year in oatmeal baths trying to get some relief. I was duly freaked out when it started up again this month. About a week and a half ago, feeling pretty miserable and knowing the most likely treatment a dermatologist would prescribe was a corticosteroid cream (which I prefer to avoid), I did an Amazon search for “eczema treatment.” The rave reviews for SkinSmart seemed too good to be true, but I liked that many were quite specific/descriptive and sounded as if they came from actual eczema sufferers. I didn’t love that it “smells like the pool,” but the price was right for a shot in the dark. I received the spray a week ago and immediately spritzed it generously all over my rash several times that day and each day since, applying and letting it dry completely after showering in the morning, again in the afternoon, and once more before bed. The fluid-filled blisters on my inner forearm started drying out within the first 24 hours, and by three days in were mostly gone. Within 5 days, all areas of rash had flattened out, and by that I mean: no blisters, no redness, and no swelling remaining. The spray also killed developing rash before it could get worse. The only remaining evidence of the horrid flare-up that made me want to crawl under a rock last week is some skin discoloration (which I know will eventually fade). The most impressive thing about this stuff is how quickly it starts working. It kicked in faster than the antibiotics and oral steroid I was prescribed when I had infected eczema a few years ago, without the nasty side effects. Does it smell like the pool? Yeah. Do I care? NOPE. Because IT WORKS. NOTE: This is not a moisturizing product. It dries out the rash and leaves fairly dry skin behind, but that’s easily remedied by using a moisturizer designed for eczema (I use Eucerin for Eczema or Cerave Eczema Oil) periodically. I used no moisturizing product for the first several days (per manufacturer’s advice), but once the blisters and gross crustiness had cleared up, I applied cream once daily after my morning application of SkinSmart had dried completely. The mystery of why I suddenly developed severe eczema in my late 40s remains unsolved, but I’m overjoyed to have found an affordable product that will help me kick its ass until I figure out how to prevent it altogether!

I rarely take the time to write reviews, but SkinSmart spray has absolutely earned it. I keep a bottle with me at all times—home, handbag, everywhere. What I love most is that it’s truly clean—no harsh chemicals, no stinging, no weird residue—just a gentle hypochlorous solution that actually works. Here’s how I use it daily: • Sanitizing my hands when I’m out (gas pumps, shopping carts, etc.) without drying my skin • Cleaning minor cuts, scrapes, or irritated skin • Freshening and sanitizing my face during breakouts or irritation • Spraying down my phone and high-touch surfaces • Even using it on personal items that need a quick, safe disinfect It’s one of those rare products that’s both effective and gentle enough to use constantly. If you’re trying to reduce exposure to harsh chemicals but still want something that truly sanitizes, this is it. I’ve repurchased multiple times and won’t be without it.

This is a great product, but I’m always very weary of ordering anything through Amazon because I do want it through the actual brand store. I ordered through skin Smart store, and when I was asked to do a review, it said I got it from some skin magic or some other type of LLC. Now that I’ve done my own research I’ve discovered that it’s just the LLC that owns the brand, but it did scare the heck out of me because I’ve already put it on my son and his skin is very compromised. I suggest making that known without research for customers who are very concerned. Other than that, this is a nice product. It does burn my son a little bit, but his skin is very severe. We use it when he has a serious flareup because it seems to stop that in its tracks but then we do have to find something to seriously moisturize and it can’t be water-based. So it is difficult, but at least this stops the flareup.

My kiddos has been fighting eczema for a long time this helped clear the bacteria. I honestly wish I knew about this product sooner. It does smell like chlorine.

Very good product for children eczema. It cool the skin when flare ups occur and will be very beneficial during the hot Texas summer months. I try to keep a bottle on hand for my little one who scratches himself during outbreaks because it is anti microbial. I highly recommend this product. Give it a try!

I originally purchased this because I kept hearing people describe it as a more affordable alternative to Tower 28’s hypochlorous acid spray. Since the bottle is much larger, it seemed like a good value, especially if hypochlorous acid was going to become a staple in my routine. I was also hoping it would help with my acne because that was one of the most common claims I saw online. Unfortunately, I didn’t notice any meaningful improvement in my breakouts while using it. That said, I did find a practical use for it. I would often spray it on my face before reapplying sunscreen during the day, after the gym, or anytime I wanted to freshen up my skin before I had the opportunity to properly wash my face. In those situations, it felt convenient and refreshing. The reason I’m giving this review a moderate rating rather than a poor one is that I used the entire bottle. It wasn’t irritating, it was easy to incorporate into my routine, and the large size lasted a long time. However, when I evaluate whether a product earned a permanent place in my routine, I have to ask whether it made a noticeable difference. For me, the answer is no. My skin looked largely the same before and after finishing the bottle. If you’re curious about hypochlorous acid, this is a reasonably priced way to try it. But if you’re expecting dramatic improvements in acne or overall skin appearance, my experience didn’t support the hype. Would I use it if someone gave me another bottle? Sure. Would I spend my own money to repurchase it? Probably not.

This is the BEST spray for eczema! It is better than the prescription medicine a dermatologist would order. Clears up eczema faster than prescription meds! Excellent at healing wounds, too! We absolutely love this spray and will continue purchasing through Amazon! Thanks for something that works like it says it does! Happy Happy Customer

Love how it has helped since I first used. No more itching

Just a waste of money. Not working.

It does nothing, its 99% water.
