My shortcut to getting the Tower 28 SOS jumbo refill in Switzerland before it sells out again
Table of Contents
Why everyone is talking about the jumbo refill
I have been struggling with sensitive skin for a while now, and if you follow skincare circles, you know that the Tower 28 SOS Daily Rescue Facial Spray is basically a holy grail. But here in Switzerland, we usually only get the small bottles, and they run out so quickly. In early 2026, the 16oz jumbo refill became the star of the show. It is a US exclusive, and the value is just too good to ignore compared to buying four or five smaller bottles locally.
I noticed my friends in the Netherlands were obsessed with the savings, and I realized I could get the same deal. The hypochlorous acid formula is a lifesaver for my eczema flares, so I decided I needed to secure the big bottle as fast as possible before the US stockists ran out again.
My experience finding the best value
When I looked at the prices, the math was simple. Buying the 16oz refill from a US store like Sephora or the official Tower 28 site saves me a significant amount of money, even after considering the trip across the Atlantic. However, these stores don't ship directly to my door in Zurich. That is when I decided to use a freight forwarder to bridge the gap. I signed up for comGateway because they provide a tax-free US address in Oregon, which meant I didn't have to pay US sales tax on my purchase.
How I got it shipped fast
My goal was a total speed run. I didn't want to wait weeks for my skincare to arrive. I followed a simple step-by-step guide on how it works to get my package moving. Once I bought the spray, I had it sent to my US address. As soon as it arrived, I used their international shipping service to get it on a plane to Switzerland.
Before I committed, I made sure to check the international shipping rates. I found that if I bundled the spray with a few other US-exclusive beauty items, my international shipping costs per item dropped significantly. I also spent some time in their FAQ section to make sure that liquids were okay to ship (they are, as long as they aren't flammable aerosols!).
Shipping Estimates for Switzerland
To help you plan your own haul, I put together these estimates based on my own package details from March 2026. You can also use the shipping calculator to estimate shipping cost for your specific location.
| Detail | Estimate |
|---|---|
| Box Weight | Approx. 1.8 lbs (0.8 kg) for the 16oz refill and packaging. |
| Box Dimensions | Small (approx. 9 x 5 x 4 inches). |
| Volumetric Warning | Since the liquid is heavy and the bottle is compact, Volumetric Weight is not an issue here. You pay based on actual weight. |
| Battery Check | No lithium batteries. Standard shipping rules apply. |
Handling Swiss Customs
One thing I always keep in mind is the import tax. Switzerland has specific rules for GST/VAT and customs tax. I found a great guide on import duties that explained how Swiss customs calculate fees. Since the 16oz refill is roughly $68 USD, it usually falls under the threshold where import duties are minimal, but I always recommend double-checking the current 2026 rates to avoid surprises.
The final verdict on my haul
I was able to shop US store options and have my Tower 28 SOS spray in my hands in less than 10 days. The 16oz size is a total lifesaver for my daily routine, and I didn't have to deal with the constant "out of stock" notices at local boutiques. If you are looking to shop US ship international, this is definitely the most efficient way to do it. My skin has never been happier, and my wallet is pretty pleased with the bulk-buy savings too!
