  • The Skin Healing Ingredient Everyone Should Know About | Justin Gardner

    The Skin Healing Ingredient Everyone Should Know About | Justin Gardner
    Jun 4 2026
    302: In today’s episode, I’m joined by Justin Gardner, founder of Active Skin Repair, to discuss why so many people are swapping out traditional products like Neosporin for Hypochlorous acid. We break down how Hypochlorous acid supports the body’s natural healing process, why dermatologists have largely moved away from Neosporin, and how this ingredient can be used for everything from cuts, scrapes, bug bites, and sunburns to eczema, acne, and diaper rash. We also discuss the skin microbiome, medical-grade skincare, and what to look for when choosing products for yourself and your family. Topics Discussed: → Why Neosporin May Be Doing More Harm Than Good → What Hypochlorous Acid Actually Is → How To Support Faster Wound Healing → Diaper Rash, Eczema & Skin Issues In Kids → Natural Alternatives For Cuts, Scrapes & Bug Bites → Medical Grade vs Cosmetic Hypochlorous Acid → Acne, Skin Health & The Skin Microbiome → Sunscreen, Sunburns & Everyday Skin Protection Sponsored By: → Active Skin Repair | Support powerful skin healing without harsh or toxic ingredients. For the next week, Realfoodology loyal listeners can get their biggest discount, 25% off all Active Skin Repair products, when you go to activeskinrepair.com and use code REALFOODOLOGY at checkout.
