"This concealer is really lovely."

"This concealer from Tower 28 is such a perfect match for me, and it's been a favorite of mine for many years. It has a kind of creamy finish. [...] Some concealers can be chalky and dry, or very thick and almost putty-like, but this has a really nice, fluid, hydrating texture. [...] It just evens everything out and creates a really nice base, [...] a really gorgeous, very wearable, very comfortable skin tint."

"I really like Tower 28 and I had a lot of faith in this one, I do like it, but I still felt like it was creasing just a little more than I would prefer. Compared side by side with Kosas, after a few hours the swatch on my hand actually looked more creased than the other one."

"You know what you guys got me into all over again is the Tower 28 concealer and after reading some of your reviews on this I was like I need to revisit that And I have and it's so good"
THE BEST HIGH END MAKEUP OF 2023
"Tower 28 launched their concealer this year and I love it. This one has really nice coverage, I feel like when it's blended out it looks virtually like airbrush on the skin, so I specifically love to use it under the eyes and in the T-zone, it just smooths out the pores. I use the shade B and it's so good, this one is worth the hype as well."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Sunscreen filters

Sun protection is the best evidenced way to slow visible ageing, and the filters are what does the work. Mineral and chemical filters both protect when a product is applied thickly enough and often enough, which is where most people fall short rather than on the choice of filter.

Humectants and emollients

Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is an antioxidant, and it is often in a formula to keep the other ingredients stable rather than as the active itself. It pairs well with vitamin C, though on its own the evidence for visible change is limited.
