An ELLE editor says: “I take a lot of heated sculpt classes at Corepower, and as someone with acne-prone skin, I can’t stand having to walk 15 minutes back to my apartment without washing my face first. Call me paranoid, but it’s like I can feel the blemishes forming. Fortunately, the Tower 28 SOS Daily Rescue Facial Spray has been my absolute savior. I douse my face (and sometimes my back, too) with the mist, and all my breakout fears are instantly tamed. Not only is my skin less prone to breaking out, but I also leave the studio less red and with a fresh, hydrated glow. This is a valid TikTok viral product that lives up to the hype.”—Emma Aerin Becker, associate beauty e-commerce writer
