This week on Expert, we’re asking the question filling your feeds: is hypochlorous acid just fancy water in a spray bottle, or a legit skin saviour?

Before we get into that, we kick things off with Win, Bin or Recycle, where gel toenail extensions are on the chopping block. Worth it or nah?

Then, in our deep dive, we break down everything you need to know about hypochlorous acid: the antibacterial, anti-inflammatory ingredient your own body naturally makes. We cover why it’s trending right now, how it helps with acne, eczema, and barrier support, and whether it belongs in your routine. Plus, we compare Tower 28’s cult SOS Spray to Qure’s Dermal Mist (our Adore pick), and share exactly when and how to use it.

In Adore Anonymous, we answer a listener’s SOS: how to deal with post-acne dark marks (spoiler: niacinamide is a great start, but pigment blockers are key, and you have to stop picking!).
