Magic Molecule makes an all-over healing solution to treat cuts, zits, and burns from the inside out.

Magic Molecule is an all-over skin spray for cuts, zits, sunburns, bites, rashes, and so much more. The magic ingredient? Hypochlorous acid.

Magic Molecule is a highly regarded brand with numerous benefits and uses. However, it has a high cost and its long-term healing effects are questionable.

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). 

I suffer from itchy skin and the marketing for MM was clear that this was a revolutionary product. I can't decide if I was so eager for it to work or if it really worked on the first few uses, but after that, it fell short of everything. No healing, no relief. My daughter tried it for occasional break outs, no results.

I wanted to believe in the magic, but unfortunately, it didn't happen for me - I've got two nearly full bottles!

Cute packaging, and I think it helps speed up healing time for wounds and blisters. However, calling it "magic" is a long shot. I'd recommend purchasing a bottle of hypochlorous acid (the same ingredient in Magic Molecule!) at your local drugstore for a fraction of the cost.

This stuff is amazing. I get regular nosebleeds and, after a long flight to/from Europe, was getting them basically daily for about two weeks (if not more). I substituted this stuff for my regular saline nasal spray and they completely went away that day - truly a miracle IMO. Have also used it on cuts, sunburns, and bug bites and it works wonders. 

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 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! 

While this looks great and has an instant sense of gratification (cooling and relieving) I'm not sure this really has any long term effect to heal my cuts etc. Because it's small though it is great to travel with, so it always comes along with me.

Didn’t see any different on blemishes or cuts or sunburns. 

Been using it for acne-prone skin and my face's never been cleaner. I use it every night after shower. It's helped heal minor cuts and as of now I'm applying it to a bigger cut I got from being distracted in the kitchen. The best part is that it stops the bleeding and doesn't sting like other things do. 

I know people complain about the price, but I researched A WHOLE LOT before purchasing and saw they are FDA cleared especially because of their shelf life (very important to me!!) So don't mind the price, mind the quality! 


The ingredient list is simple and very straight forward - sodium chloride is a salt derivative, which is why it cleanses and I definitely appreciate that it's been packaged in a way where it's easy to toss into a few totes / suitcase / purses so it's more accessible. 

Really love how this product can be used for so many skin issues - I've been testing this since they did a product launch in SoHo (just wanted to test the freebie) and can say it has helped heal + sooth my skin! After the initial product test, the small team behind the brand has given me their developed formulas, which I really appreciate since they welcome genuine feedback.  A few applications I've used it for: contact dermatitis / skin rash, surface cuts / cuticle tears, mosquito bites / blisters, post-workout cleanse when I don't have time to shower immediately, general additional cleansing when needed (a light application pre-skincare when i have a breakout). 

This is some the best marketing i've seen in a while - fonts, colors, packaging, pop ups... impeccable. The formula also really works!! I watched it instantly calm my skin redness & sensitivities, worked on zits, eczema, dry skin, cuts, itches and more!

Can't wait to see what other products they come up with.  This really is magic in a bottle! 

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!

I'm not sure if I would be repurchasing when the promo price is over and it becomes $25 for one bottle. The bottles are really small and I feel like they are very quickly affected by evaporation. I may look elsewhere if the price increases.

I really wish they would sell refills, similar to Tower28! I have repurchased multiple times, so I really hope refills become an option in the future. I really appreciate the eco-friendly shipping for this product, but I wish that sentiment would apply to the product itself.

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.

It really works! Sprayed it on some sores on my scalp that were not healing, and there was a marked uptick in the healing process. Odorless and colorless. Cute portable bottle, branding and package could be nicer looking - its a bit generic. 

Hypochlorous acid. is an amazing ingredient. Personally, hypochlourous sprays have helped me heal my acne-prone skin and get it to a much more comfortable state. I have also tried the Tower28 SOS spray and will say that the two products are quite comparable. Magic Molecule has great sales and a cute blue/white aesthetic.

Worked like magic, it took a couple of days to heal 100%. This is my go-to product for all things that need healing. 

I got this to help heal scabs and blisters after wearing uncomfortable shoes. It really helped relieve pain and irritations. I would say it also expedited the amount of time it took to recover. 

I think it’s a great product! A bit high of a price point for the quantity they give in the bottle. But definitely works! 

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!

For some context, I've been using a benzoyl peroxide/clindamycin treatment for acne for 8-9 years now, but its efficacy basically halted on year 4 of use. I'm guessing that my skin became resistant to the topical antibiotic. 

So when I came across Magic Molecule (thank you, targeted Instagram ads), I figured I had nothing to lose and ordered it. Just one week later, my painful cystic acne and my previously bumpy texture reduced significantly. After 2-3 weeks, my skin texture was smooth with the occasional acne spot appearing, though not nearly as deep into my skin as they used to be.


I had eczema nonstop for 7 months and adding this to my routine finally cured it. I would give this infinity stars if I could.
