Hypochlorous Acid for Acne & Post-Workout Breakouts

If you finish a workout feeling amazing in your body… but your skin becomes red, hot, bumpy, or irritated afterwards, you are not alone. Sweat, heat, friction from towels, gym equipment, bacteria, and even stress hormones can all trigger breakouts and inflammation, especially if your skin is already sensitive or reactive.

This is where hypochlorous acid (HOCl) helps.
It’s a gentle, soothing molecule your immune system naturally produces to help calm irritation and support your skin’s barrier.

Endorphi Reset Mist uses HOCl in a way that is non-stinging, calming, and ideal for acne-prone, active lifestyles.

Why Skin Flares After Exercise

Working out is amazing for your body, but your skin barrier experiences stress during movement:

  • Heat → increases redness and inflammation

  • Sweat sitting on the skin → traps bacteria + changes pH

  • Touching skin or wiping with towels → spreads bacteria

  • Tight clothing/headbands → friction triggers irritation

  • Harsh cleansers afterwards → strip your barrier and make skin even more reactive

When your barrier is stressed, your skin becomes:

✔️ Red
✔️ Flushed
✔️ Bumpy
✔️ Congested
✔️ Easily irritated

This is why post-workout skin needs calm, not scrubbing or stripping.

How Hypochlorous Acid Helps

Hypochlorous acid is:

  • Naturally produced by your immune system

  • Antimicrobial (helps keep breakout bacteria in check)

  • Anti-inflammatory (reduces redness and irritation)

  • Barrier-supportive, not drying or stripping

  • Safe for sensitive and rosacea-prone skin

It tells your skin:

“I’ve got this — let’s calm down and repair.”

This makes HOCl especially helpful for:

  • Sweat-triggered breakouts

  • Friction acne (sports bras, masks, helmets)

  • Red, hot, reactive skin after exercise

How to Use HOCl in Your Workout Routine

Before Workout
Spritz onto clean skin to support the barrier.

During Workout
If redness flares or your skin feels hot/itchy → spray once mid-session.

After Workout

  1. Rinse face with cool water (no need for harsh cleanser every time)

  2. Mist Endorphi Reset Mist generously

  3. Let it air-dry — do not wipe

  4. Apply moisturiser and/or SPF as usual

If your skin gets irritated easily, HOCl can replace toners entirely.

For Rosacea-Prone or Easily Flushed Skin

If your skin becomes red and “hot” after workouts, HOCl can help:

  • Cool down inflammation

  • Reduce the heat-flush response

  • Stop sweat from triggering flare-ups

This is gentle skin repair that doesn’t undo your progress.

Situation How to Use Reset Mist
Gym or Pilates Spray before and after to prevent sweat congestion
