How it works
The Rapid Hypochlorous Acid Rescue Mist is a 60ml mist, used at any point in the day, over bare skin or over makeup. The active it is built around is Zinc PCA, named fourteenth on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf Extract and Glycereth-25 PCA Isostearate, so the active is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Zinc PCA stays on the skin, and for how long, is decided by the mist format rather than by the list alone. Dr.Althea sells this Zinc PCA mist in Korea, and this is that version.
Key benefits
- Built on Hypochlorous Acid, a mild, self-limiting antimicrobial used for skin-surface care
- Zinc PCA runs alongside it, a zinc-based sebum-control and calming ingredient
- No parfum or fragrance ingredient on the list
- 60ml facial mist sold in Dr. Althea's Korean-market packaging, not a US-reformulated version
- Takes a step usable at any point in a routine, or over makeup during the day
- 15 ingredients on the manufacturer's own list, in the order Dr. Althea lists them
Key actives
Hypochlorous Acid
Hypochlorous Acid is A mild, self-limiting antimicrobial used for skin-surface care. It appears at position 4 of 15 on Dr. Althea's own manufacturer ingredient list for this formula, which is real evidence of what the formula is built around rather than a marketing label placed over it.
Zinc PCA
Zinc PCA is A zinc-based sebum-control and calming ingredient. It appears at position 15 of 15 on Dr. Althea's own manufacturer ingredient list for this formula, which is real evidence of what the formula is built around rather than a marketing label placed over it.
Glycerin
Glycerin is The primary humectant carrying water into the surface. It appears at position 7 of 15 on Dr. Althea's own manufacturer ingredient list for this formula, which is real evidence of what the formula is built around rather than a marketing label placed over it.
1
1 sits at position 2 of 15 on Dr. Althea's own manufacturer ingredient list for this formula, a supporting entry rather than the headline the formula is built around.
Dr. Althea Rapid Hypochlorous Acid Rescue Mist
Where does this mist go in my routine?
At any point in the day, over bare skin or over makeup. Anything thinner than a mist goes on before it, and anything richer goes on after. If you are adding it to a routine you already like, give it a week on its own first, so what you see is the Zinc PCA and not three changes at once.
What else is on the list besides Zinc PCA?
Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf Extract and Glycereth-25 PCA Isostearate. The order they are printed in on this mist's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Zinc PCA sits relative to them. Zinc PCA itself is named fourteenth on it.

How to use
- Use the Rapid Hypochlorous Acid Rescue Mist at any point in the day, over bare skin or over makeup.
- Hold it about a hand's width from the face, mist twice, then press it in with your palms.
- On a bare face it sits after cleansing and before toner. Over makeup it goes on last, and it is patted, never rubbed.
- As often as skin feels dry. Do not leave a mist to dry on its own; water leaving the surface takes some of the skin's own with it.
Worth knowing
- Patch test this mist on a small area and wait a day before using it more widely, especially with Zinc PCA on the list.
- Introduce this mist on its own for the first week, so anything your skin does is traceable to the Zinc PCA rather than to three changes at once.
