If you’ve ever dealt with the red, flaky, itchy mess that is seborrheic dermatitis, you’re not alone—and you’re probably over it. It’s stubborn, unpredictable, and just plain annoying, especially when it shows up on your face or scalp. While there are loads of treatments out there, most come with side effects or feel like they’re doing more harm than good. That’s where hypochlorous acid comes in—a gentle, natural option that’s kind to your skin and gets the job done.
How Hypochlorous Acid Actually Helps
Seborrheic dermatitis has a not-so-great relationship with a yeast called Malassezia. This yeast thrives on your skin and often triggers those dreaded flare-ups. Hypochlorous acid fights back with its antimicrobial superpowers, targeting Malassezia while calming down redness and irritation.
What’s even better? It’s backed by science. A study in The Journal of Dermatological Treatment found that hypochlorous acid reduced flare-ups and helped keep skin looking and feeling better over time. No harsh chemicals, no drama—just clearer, happier skin.
How to Use It
Adding hypochlorous acid to your routine is ridiculously easy. After washing your face or scalp, spray it directly on the areas where you’re seeing redness or flakes—around your nose, hairline, or wherever seborrheic dermatitis decides to pop up. Use it daily, and over time, you’ll notice calmer, more balanced skin.

Hypochlorous Acid for Scalp Irritation: Soothe That Itch
Let’s talk about your scalp for a second. Whether it’s dandruff, product buildup, or something else entirely, scalp irritation is the worst. The itchiness, the flakes—it’s enough to make anyone want to hide under a hat. But you don’t have to. Hypochlorous acid is a gentle, no-fuss way to calm the itch and tackle the problem at its source.
Why It Works So Well
What makes hypochlorous acid such a scalp-care hero? Two things: it fights off bacteria and fungi, and it calms inflammation. That means it tackles the root cause of irritation and soothes your skin at the same time. No wonder a study in Clinical Dermatology found that it improved scalp health and reduced inflammation for people struggling with irritation.
How to Use It
It’s super simple. After shampooing, spray hypochlorous acid directly onto the irritated areas of your scalp. Gently massage it in, then let it air dry. That’s it! No mess, no complicated steps—just relief.
