My workaround for getting the Tower 28 SOS spray 16oz value size shipped to Malaysia

The hype around Tower 28 SOS Daily Rescue Facial Spray

I have been seeing the Tower 28 SOS Daily Rescue Facial Spray everywhere on my social feed in 2026. If you struggle with sensitive skin or occasional redness like I do, you probably know why this hypochlorous acid spray is such a big deal. It is basically a soothing hug for your face. While we can find the smaller bottles occasionally through local resellers in Malaysia, they are often marked up significantly. The real prize is the 16oz Value Size refill. It is a massive bottle that is meant to refill your smaller sprayers, and the cost per ounce is significantly lower than anything we can get locally.

We have noticed that this specific 16oz size is almost exclusively available in the United States, particularly at Sephora US or the Tower 28 official website. For my skincare routine, having this much product on hand means I do not have to worry about running out every few weeks. It is a staple for post-workout skin or just calming down my face after a long day in the humid Kuala Lumpur heat.

The barrier to getting the 16oz size in Malaysia

The main problem I faced was that most US beauty retailers do not ship these large liquid refills directly to Malaysia. Even if they do, the international shipping rates they quote are enough to make my jaw drop. This is the invisible barrier that usually keeps us from getting the best value sizes. I found that I needed a reliable way to get my hands on US-exclusive products without paying more for shipping than the product itself.

I decided to use a freight forwarder to bridge the gap. By using a service like comGateway, I was able to get a tax-free US address to use at checkout. This meant I could shop just like a US resident and then have my package forwarded to my doorstep here in Malaysia.

How I order directly from US stores

If you are wondering how it works, it is actually quite simple. First, I signed up for a comGateway account. They gave me a unique suite number at their warehouse in Oregon. Since Oregon has no sales tax, I saved about 7-10% right off the bat when I placed my order on the Tower 28 website. I simply entered my US address as the shipping destination.

Once my 16oz bottle arrived at the warehouse, I received a notification. From there, I could choose my preferred shipping speed to Malaysia. It is much easier than trying to find a personal shopper who might charge high commission fees. We can manage everything from a single dashboard.

Shipping estimates for the 16oz bottle

To help you plan your budget, I put together some estimates based on my recent shipment. You can always use the shipping calculator to get a more precise figure before you buy.

FactorEstimate for 16oz Bottle
Box WeightApprox. 1.5 - 2.0 lbs (0.7 - 0.9 kg)
Box DimensionsSmall/Medium (Approx. 10" x 4" x 4")
Volumetric WarningNot likely an issue for a single bottle, but if you add bulky items like puffer bags, check the dimensions!
Battery CheckNo lithium batteries. This is safe for standard air freight.

I suggest combining this spray with a few other items. Since the first pound of shipping is always the most expensive, adding a few more skincare favorites makes the overall cost per item much cheaper. Just be mindful of the weight of liquids!

Managing Malaysian customs and taxes

One thing I always keep in mind is the import duties and taxes in Malaysia. As of 2026, we still need to be careful about the de minimis threshold. Usually, if your total shipment value (including shipping) is under MYR 500, you might avoid some of the heavier taxes. However, for skincare and cosmetics, Sales and Service Tax (SST) may still apply.

If you are planning a big haul, I recommend reading this guide on import tax to understand how Customs might assess your package. I found that even with the shipping cost and potential tax, the 16oz value size still ended up being much cheaper than buying multiple small bottles in Malaysia. It is all about that long-term savings for your skincare routine.
