It’s no secret that Home Bargains has long been popular with beauty lovers, but one of its latest deals could be the “biggest bargain of the century”. The offer has certainly impressed a money-savvy shopper who found a £1.49 skincare product she loves for “cleaning, soothing, and reducing irritation.”
Taking to TikTok, @Beautybynori said: “Run to Home Bargains because I have just found you the biggest bargain of the century. I accidentally found hypochlorous acid for £1.49.”
The social media user, who regularly posts about make-up and skincare, added: “When I saw this I was so happy. Hypochlorous acid was my favourite skincare item of 2024, and it still is.”
After looking at the ingredients, she claimed: “This actually had a decent concentration because anything between 0.01% and 1% is usually really good for cleaning, soothing, and reducing inflammation.” The discovery also delighted viewers, who said they were keen to stock up on the skincare must-have.
Someone wrote: “Love a home bargains find!” A second said: “My sign to go to home bargains.” Another viewer asked: “When do you put on? After your skincare like after you use toner or? Before everything as that’s what I’ve been doing?” The creator replied: “I use it before skincare and I use it after the gym.”
Home Bargains says: “This Hypochlorous Acid Spray will be your new go-to for soothing cleansing! This gentle 100ml spray not only banishes bacteria and impurities but also helps reduce redness and pore size, making it perfect for acne-prone skin.”
Elsewhere, Cleveland Clinic outlines the benefits associated with using hypochlorous acid. Dermatologist Shilpi Khetarpal, MD, told the clinic that hypochlorous acid can fight bacteria responsible for clogged pores and acne and help combat inflammation and conditions such as psoriasis or eczema.
“It’s great for sensitive skin,” said Dr. Khetarpal. “It’s not going to give you the dryness, burning or irritation of other products.” The expert warned you should only use products designed for skin use, as the acid is sometimes used in cleaning supplies.
Additionally, Dr Khetarpal advised not to use a fragranced product if you have sensitive skin and to take care to keep any sprays out of your eyes and mouth, reports the Mirror.
