- RESTORATIVE TRANSITIONS
The Mist That Does the Most
- Clarifying Skin Reset: Instantly breaks down and removes impurities, sweat, and excess oil from the skin's surface with 2-3 sprays, without disrupting your natural moisture barrier. Air dry and go
- Breakout Prevention: Prevents breakouts, by dissolving and lifting away sweat and dirt particles without the need for rinsing, making it perfect for post-workout refreshes, midday touch-ups, or anytime traditional cleansing isn't possible
- Redness Reduction: Hypochlorous acid works by signaling dilated blood vessels to return to their normal size, providing relief from flushing and irritation common after workouts or in hot environments. Neutralizes free radicals by interrupting your skin's "alert system" that causes blood to rush to the surface, promoting a soothed complexion
- PH Balancing: Restores and maintains the skin's
optimal pH balance, while strengthening its barrier, and supporting your skin's natural replenishment process - Multitasker: Works as a cleanser, toner, and skin-soother in one simple step
- Travel-ready Bottle: Packaged in a compact 2.7 oz. soft-touch bottle that meets TSA requirements. Easily carried, allowing you to stay cool and refreshed anytime, anywhere. Fine mist actuator provides an even spray over or under makeup
Use anytime you need a quick skin reset:
- Immediately after workouts, to cleanse without water
- Throughout the day, to refresh and reduce redness
- Before makeup application, in place of a toner, to ensure clean, oil-free skin
- After exposure to pollutants or public spaces
For best results, use consistently after exercise to prevent breakouts and maintain skin clarity.
Store one in your gym bag, one at your desk, and one in your bathroom for easy access throughout your active day.

FAQ
What is hypochlorous acid and why is it beneficial for my skin?
Hypochlorous acid (HOCl) is a naturally occurring compound that your body's immune system produces to fight infection and promote healing. We call it "friendly-chlorine" because, unlike harsh chemical cleansers, it mimics your body's own defense mechanisms.
In our Detox & Soothe Face Mist, hypochlorous acid works as a gentle yet powerful antimicrobial agent that cleanses your skin without water. It helps clear congested pores, prevents breakouts, and promotes faster healing of skin irritations like redness, rashes, inflammation, and sunburn.
Unlike many antimicrobial ingredients, HOCl doesn't disrupt your skin's natural microbiome or cause dryness, making it ideal for all skin types, especially sensitive skin.
Is HOCL suitable for all skin types, and how often can I use it throughout the day?
Yes, Otella Detox & Soothe Face Mist is formulated to be safe and effective for all skin types. It's particularly beneficial for sensitive, irritated, or blemish-prone skin due to its gentle pH-balanced formula that's free from harsh chemicals - and just includes hypochlorous acid, salt, and water!
You can use the mist multiple times throughout the day —after workouts, during travel, between meetings, or whenever your skin needs refreshment.
The formula is designed to be non-irritating even with frequent application, and perfect for on-the-go skin refreshment.
The fine mist actuator ensures an even application that won't disrupt makeup.
How do I work HOCI into your current facial and body care routine?
To properly incorporate HOCL into your skincare routine, always apply it to clean skin as your first step after cleansing, or use it as your cleansing step when on-the-go. Once applied, allow the HOCL to fully dry for 60 seconds before following with any serums or moisturizers. When layering products, follow a water-to-oil sequence by applying water-based products first, then oil-based products.
For midday refreshment, HOCL can be reapplied over makeup throughout the day—just be sure to let it dry completely.
If you're using retinol or other active treatments in your routine, apply HOCL first, wait until it has completely dried, and then follow with your treatment products.
What skincare ingredients are best avoided with HoCL?
When using HOCL in your skincare routine, be mindful of certain ingredients that may interfere with its effectiveness.
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) at active concentrations can reduce HOCL's efficacy due to their competing chemical properties.
Clay masks should be used separately from HOCL, as the clay can absorb and neutralize the hypochlorous acid before it can work effectively on your skin.
Similarly, benzoyl peroxide may reduce the stability of HOCL, potentially diminishing its benefits.
High concentrations of alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) and beta hydroxy acids (BHAs) can alter the pH balance necessary for optimal HOCL performance, so it's best to separate these applications in your routine to maximize the benefits of each product.
