Why Topicals Faded is trending in 2026

If you have been scrolling through TikTok lately, you have definitely seen the bright blue and orange tubes of Topicals Faded Brightening & Clearing Serum. It has become a massive hit, specifically for those with South Asian and darker skin tones who struggle with stubborn hyperpigmentation and acne scars. In 2026, the hype has not died down because the results are actually visible, making it one of the most popular products for cross-border shoppers.

The problem for us in Singapore is that local resellers often mark up the price by 50% or even 100%. While it is tempting to just grab it from a local marketplace, buying from a shop us store directly ensures you are getting a fresh, authentic product rather than something that has been sitting in a hot warehouse for months.

Correcting the myth about expensive US shipping

A common assumption among Singaporean shoppers is that the cost of an international shipping service will outweigh any savings you get from the lower US retail price. However, when you look at the math, that is rarely the case for skincare. A single tube of Topicals Faded is lightweight and small. By using a freight forwarder, you can consolidate multiple items from different stores into one box, significantly reducing the cost per item.

Instead of paying $60+ SGD to a local reseller, you can often find the serum for around $38 USD on official sites. Even with shipping, you come out ahead, especially if you are stocking up or buying with friends. You can always check a shipping calculator to see exactly how much you will save before you click buy.

Using proxy shopping to bypass store blocks

Shopping at major US retailers like Sephora or the official Topicals website can sometimes be a headache for international buyers. These stores are known to occasionally block international credit cards or cancel orders that are heading to a known freight forwarder address. It is frustrating to find a great deal only to have your order cancelled ten minutes later.

This is where proxy shopping becomes your best friend. Through the comGateway "BuyForMe" service, we handle the purchase for you. We use a US domestic credit card and a residential-style billing profile to ensure the order is accepted. This is the safest way to guarantee your skincare haul actually makes it out of the warehouse. You simply tell us what you want, and we take care of the transaction, acting as your personal buyer in the States.

Shipping estimates for Topicals Faded Serum

To help you plan your budget, here is a breakdown of what to expect when shipping this specific item to Singapore.

Because the item is so light, it is the perfect candidate to add to a larger haul. If you are already using a parcel forwarding service for clothes or electronics, adding a tube of serum usually adds almost zero cost to your total shipping fee.

Understanding import tax and GST in Singapore

In 2026, Singapore's import tax rules are very clear. Every item imported into the country is subject to GST (Goods and Services Tax). While the old "de minimis" threshold of $400 for GST relief no longer applies to low-value goods in the same way it used to, the process is still handled efficiently by your carrier. When you use international shipping, the GST is often calculated at the point of shipment or upon arrival, so there are no surprises at your doorstep.

Getting started with your US shipping address

Setting up your account is the first step to accessing US-exclusive skincare. Once you sign up, you get a tax-free US address. This is important because it means you don't pay any US sales tax on your purchase, which is an immediate savings of around 7-10% depending on the store's location.

Following a step-by-step guide makes the process simple: you shop, use your new US address at checkout, and then forward packages to Singapore once they arrive at the warehouse. If you ever run into trouble with a store's checkout page, just check the FAQ or switch to the "BuyForMe" service to let the pros handle it.

Shipping from the US to Singapore has never been more reliable. Don't let the fear of complex logistics keep you from the skincare routine you deserve. By using a trusted freight forwarder, you can get the real Topicals Faded Serum delivered to your door in 2026 without the reseller markup.
