The 15 Best Face Mists That Will Keep Your Skin Refreshed All Day Long
The SOS face mist truly does it all, from calming breakouts, healing damaged skin, and rehydrating dry patches. Using hypochlorous acid, keeping this spray in your purse for on-the-go spritzing is an easy way to keep away bacteria that accumulates on your face throughout the day. “After years of relying on topical steroids to manage my eczema, the hypochlorous acid formula in SOS is the only thing that’s gotten by sensitive skin under control,” says Liu.
Key ingredients: Hypochlorous acid
Best for: All skin types
Tower 28 rating: 4.8/5 stars
What our ELLE Editor says: “Here is a running list of the things I’ve used Tower 28’s mist for: To soothe a mosquito bite I scratched on my forehead, to hydrate a recurring dry patch under my eye, to make my skin less angry following a laser facial, and to procrastinate when I have a looming deadline. Which is to say, that any chance I can use this mist I can, and it works! This mist’s hero ingredient is hypochlorous acid, which has strong anti-bacterial properties, and is great at soothing redness and inflammation, with an effect that you’ll notice and feel instantly. My skin acts like it just took its first drink of water following a run whenever this hits. It also smells ever so slightly like an indoor swimming pool, which combined with the Baywatch-logo-lettering, always reminds me of summer. This is a valid TikTok viral product that lives up to the hype.” —Kathleen Hou, ELLE’s Beauty Director
