The Tower 28 SOS Facial Spray Helped Calm My Stressed-Out Skin—Here’s How

I’m a sucker for great packaging and this facial spray comes in a vibrant red color that I can spot from a mile away, which is helpful if I throw it in my work bag. The label is very informative and gives an insight into Tower 28 as a brand. The first line on the back of the bottle reads, “The happy solution for angry skin.” The bottle also has helpful information on hypochlorous acid and how to use it in your skincare routine.   

How Do You Use Tower 28 SOS Facial Spray? 

It’s fairly straightforward: Spray the product on your face as needed. I’ve dealt with finicky pumps before, but there’s none of that with this spray. Once I press the nozzle down, it dispenses a generous amount of spray, so I can easily cover my entire face with just a spritz or two. 

100 percent. Since it’s alcohol- and oil-free, it doesn’t feel drying or heavy on my skin. The facial spray is also fragrance-free, so it’s great for sensitive and acne-prone skin. TBH, it sort of smells like pool water at first? But don’t be alarmed by that description. It’s not strong and it doesn’t linger either. One more thing: The product has the National Eczema Association Seal of Acceptance, which makes this a suitable item for those with eczema, too. 

How Long Does Tower 28 SOS Facial Spray Take to Work?

Once I sprayed it on my face, I noticed an immediate difference—really. My skin felt calmer and hydrated. When I used the spray consistently, it helped minimize redness, soothe irritation and prevent future breakouts. I usually apply it in the morning or when I’m at work and need a midday pick me up. You can use it as much as you like. Since the spray is water-based, it absorbs quickly and calms my stressed out skin. 

I’ve definitely seen a difference in my skin after using the facial spray. It’s since become a regular part of my morning routine, and I use the spray whenever my skin feels irritated. The formula is gentle and lightweight, though I do notice slight oiliness at times, but not enough to cause a shiny T-zone at the end of the day. Like some reviews from various sites (like Sephora, Reddit and Tower 28) mentioned, I found the bottle to be pretty small for its $28 price tag. If I used it multiple times a day, I can it running out pretty quickly. Still, I’d say the SOS Spray is worth the buzz, especially if you have sensitive, acne-prone skin.
