The 16oz refill math
Pricing for Tower 28 products in the United Kingdom often involves a significant markup. As of April 2026, a standard 4oz bottle of the SOS Daily Rescue Facial Spray retails for approximately $28 in the US. Buying four of these to reach 16oz would cost you $112. However, the newly released 16oz jumbo refill is priced at just $68. This creates a $44 price gap before even considering the higher retail prices often found at UK-based boutiques.
By using a freight forwarder, you can access this value size directly from US retailers like Sephora or the official Tower 28 website, which currently do not offer this specific SKU to international markets.
Why this refill is trending
Launched on April 22, 2026, the SOS Daily Rescue Facial Spray refill addresses a major demand for sustainability and cost-efficiency. The hypochlorous acid formula has become a staple for those dealing with acne, redness, or eczema. Because the 16oz size is a US exclusive, UK fans of the brand are currently restricted to purchasing smaller, more expensive bottles locally. Securing the jumbo size is the most efficient way to maintain a skincare routine without frequent reordering.
How to order from US stores
Most US retailers do not ship large liquids internationally at a reasonable cost, or they may block international credit cards. To get around this, you should shop us store sites using a US-based shipping address. This allows you to checkout as if you were a local resident.
Using a tax-free us address in Oregon will also save you an additional 7-10% in US sales tax at the point of purchase. Once your refill bottle arrives at the warehouse, you can then manage your United Kingdom delivery options to have it sent directly to your home in London, Manchester, or elsewhere.

UK customs and VAT rules
When importing skincare from the US to the UK in 2026, you must account for import duties and VAT. For most personal shipments, a 20% VAT is applied. If your total shipment value stays below £135, you will generally not be charged additional customs duties, though VAT still applies. Check our guide on customs tax to see how these fees are collected during the parcel forwarding process.
By consolidating this refill with other US beauty purchases, you can significantly reduce the per-item shipping cost, making the $44 savings on the Tower 28 spray even more impactful.
