Magic Molecule reviews and discussion

Glad to hear this works for others, but sad it did not for me! It *might* be too potent for my sensitive skin? My personal tip would be to emphasize frequency over quantity. At the time, I was targeting multiple spells of rosacea, acne, blepharitis/styes (i know, TMI), so maybe my case was a bit too intense to cure. They say you can spray as often as you want since it's rosacea/sensitive skin friendly. But I might've overdone it because it ended up drying out my face, caused breakouts, and I still had redness. (I used it as a toner in my daily face routine, and post-gym spritzing—about 3 applications a day, for 3 months). I've used other brands before, and couldn't tell if they worked. Tried MM since it's got the highest % of HOCl on the market. Later, I read that HOCl acid should be used in small quantities, and regularly for best results. So maybe it's too potent for me personally? Since then I have stopped using HOCL altogether and my skin balanced out again. 🤷‍♀️ I ended up giving it to my bf to use. May update my review if he likes it! Love the site design, and excellent packaging, btw!

I've now gone through 4 bottles of Magic Molecule so I feel pretty qualified to write a review. Overall, it's gentle and non-irritating and I think it generally works, but I'm not repurchasing because it is so pricey. At the core of it, it's a hypochlorous acid solution and there are so many others on the market that are less pricey for what is essentially the same product.

I was skeptical but it works! Mild sunburn was functionally gone by the next day, as well as insect bites on another occasion - stopped itching immediately and the swelling was gone real quick. Haven't used for acne or anything but honestly I'm sure it helps. Definitely will be repurchasing.

this stuff works! I've been using it on acne and eczema on a daily basis over these past few months, and have seen major improvements. I really put it to the test in 2 cases recently: 1. I had a pretty deep wound on my finger and after cleaning and bandaging, I started spraying with Magic Molecule every day. It actually helped keep the wound clean without irritation (unlike alcohol would) and I feel like it healed up really well. 2. I patch-tested a very heavily fragranced skin cream and my entire neck broke out in an itchy rash. I sprayed Magic Molecule and my rash calmed down so quickly after 3 days of nonstop spraying. With each spray, it helped with the itching a lot. Now the rash is no longer itchy and the redness has decreased. I really want to try the hypochlorous acid from Tower28 and see how it compares. When looking at the ingredient lists, it's pretty much the same, but Magic Molecule is marketed more as a first-aid product, versus Tower28's marketing as a beauty product. I also like the packaging for Magic Molecule more. The spray is pretty powerful though, not a fine mist. An even mist, but definitely a strong projection.

As someone who is often on the go, I've been on the hunt for something that I can use to cleanse my face post-workout, when I can't get home to do a full skin routine. This product has been the perfect thing to keep in my bag and spritz with when I finish a workout. I usually start with a water-only face wash then spray this all over, and so far it has kept the sweat from clogging my pores and unwanted breakouts from popping up. I'm really pleased. I find the product to me extremely lightweight, and odorless. Not sticky or leaving any film / texture to my face. I prefer this over a cleansing or alcohol-based wipe, as there is no burn on my sensitive post-workout skin - just refreshing! I will definitely be keeping this around as a staple in my routine. Love the packaging, too!

Saved my skin through a sweaty summer season in LA. I spritz it after I wash my face, after the gym so I don't break out before I can get home to shower, and especially keep it close at hands for dry air on long flights (and under masks).

Overpriced product - you can find the same product / ingredient list on Amazon for way cheaper.

I've been testing this product for a few months and have genuinely seen it heal a bunch of ailments. Mostly, I use it on acne, dry skin, and cuts & burns my bf gets from cooking with a laissez-faire attitude. When I have a pimple pop up, I'll spray it 5-10 times the day it pops up and by the next, it'll basically be gone.

I have used this “magical water” for my face for about 9 months now and for someone who suffers from an autoimmune disorder, this has been a lifesaver! Things that used to take forever to heal on my body - especially my face! - have healed in record time. I will not go without this anymore! I wish I had known about this years ago, but I will take what I can get! Knowledge is power! Having Hasimotos at age 50 means you never know how your skin is going to react, but having Magic Molicule on hand eases my anxiety about the healing time and helps me feel more confident!

Worked fine a good product overall

I saw this in an Instagram ad and (predictably) was seduced by the owner (?) describing its many uses. It’s actually quite effective for crazy red things on your skin. Any kind. Slightly worried it dries out my skin, but I use it relentlessly.

I didn't find that the solution had any impact on my cuts. I find this a pretty unremarkable product overall.

This actually caused breakouts

THIS STUFF WORKS!! I spray it on everything, legit. Can’t recommend it enough. Love their new big bottles.

Magic Molecule has done wonders for my acne flare ups! I always keep one on the go with me, and especially in my gym bag for a quick post-workout facial cleanse.

Amazing product! I've used it on cuts, eye infection, friction burns, bug bites and piercings. It made my skin heal so fast.

I use this for eczema on my hand, and it took care of a stye overnight! Truly magic.

Literally healed my scar in two days love love love

I use this product for pretty much everything. It’s really gentle and works great. I use it on myself- hangnails, dry hands, eczema. I even use it on my 2 year old (who has super sensitive skin) and newborn for their skin irritations.

Had an unidentifiable dry patch of skin on my forehead. It wouldn't go away. Went to the goop store and spent hundreds of dollars on expensive products. Still couldn't get rid of it. Sprayed Magic Molecule 3 times and it was gone. GONE! Now I use it on my infected cuticles, zits, bug bites, sunburn. There's nothing this thing can't fix.
