CNET's key takeaways

The Tower 28 SOS Rescue Spray always calms my skin when I'm dealing with a breakout or redness.

It can be purchased for as low as $12 for a travel size.

The SOS Rescue Spray contains hypochlorous acid, a natural anti-inflammatory and antibacterial.

When I was a teenager, I dealt with acne and spent years testing various products to get rid of it to no avail. Now, as an adult, I still have the occasional breakout, but I've since found a product that calms my skin and reduces redness whenever a pesky pimple pops up.

As a wellness writer, I recognize that we're all overwhelmed with face skincare recommendations on social media. While this makes skincare advice easy to find, that information is hard to trust. That's why I'm always on the lookout to test and assess highly recommended products to see if they actually make an impact.

One product I was seeing all over my feed was the Tower 28 SOS Rescue Spray, a toner that uses hypochlorous acid to calm skin, reduce redness and protect your skin against harmful bacteria. I got to try the spray and have found that it is, in fact, worth the hype. Whenever I get a breakout, I use this spray and wake up the next day with skin that isn't as irritated and red, and my breakouts are less noticeable.

My experience with Tower 28 SOS Rescue Spray

Since I have sensitive, rosacea-prone skin, I am always hesitant to add a new skincare product to my routine. However, I decided to give the SOS Rescue Spray a try after I saw that it's accepted by the National Rosacea Society and National Eczema Association and recognized by the National Psoriasis Foundation. After using it for several months, I can safely say that my skin has not had an unwanted reaction.
