Common questions
Is the Tower 28 SOS Daily Rescue Facial Spray a real dupe?
It overlaps on hero actives with 6 same-category products in our catalogue — most closely the Differin Adapalene Gel 0.1% at 50% active overlap. "Dupe" here means shared active ingredients, not an identical formula.
Does a higher overlap mean it is better?
No — overlap only measures shared hero actives. Base, supporting actives, texture and price still differ, so use the side-by-side compare for the full picture.
