Summary
EP. 250: Join my NEW community for Gen X women: https://www.skool.com/drtyna/about Hypochlorous acid is having a moment on Skin Tok, but I’ve been using it for over a decade since my regenerative medicine days, long before it became a skincare trend. In this episode, I sit down with Justin Gardner of Active Skin Repair to break down what hypochlorous acid actually is, how your own white blood cells generate it for protection against infection, and why it has quietly outperforms standard joint prep solutions in hospital settings. We talk about everything from burns to wounds to sunburns, and why I would never reach for hydrogen peroxide first. I share stories from treating patients in rural hospitals using hypochlorous acid and why this simple molecule became a staple in my home, especially for skin barrier support and wound healing. This is a practical, science backed conversation about a tool I genuinely use and trust. Topics Discussed: → What is hypochlorous acid? → Is hypochlorous acid safe for skin? → Does hypochlorous acid kill MRSA? → Is hypochlorous acid good for wounds? → Can hypochlorous acid disrupt biofilms?
