Bypassing the retail border to get Prequel Gleanser delivered to Germany

Understanding the 50% glycerin obsession

As of March 2026, the skincare world has largely moved away from harsh foaming agents, focusing instead on humectants that preserve the skin barrier. The Prequel Gleanser (Non-Drying Glycerin Cleanser) has become a legendary figure in this movement. Formulated with a staggering 50% glycerin, it offers a level of hydration that most European cleansers simply haven't matched yet. It leaves the skin feeling supple rather than stripped, making it a favorite for those dealing with the harsh, dry winters in Berlin or Munich.

While glycerin is a staple ingredient in many products, seeing it at such a high concentration in a wash-off product is rare. This formulation ensures that moisture is drawn into the skin even during the cleansing process. Unfortunately for those in the EU, Prequel remains a US-exclusive brand, leaving German skincare enthusiasts staring longingly at social media reviews from across the pond.

Bridging the gap between US retail and German vanities

The invisible barrier to glowing skin is often just a lack of direct shipping. Prequel does not currently stock its products in German pharmacies or major retailers like Douglas. To get your hands on this barrier-repairing hero, you need to shop US store platforms directly. Many savvy shoppers use a tax-free US address to avoid state-side sales tax before sending their haul across the ocean.

Using a freight forwarder is the most efficient way to bridge this gap. This service provides you with a local US address where you can ship your Prequel orders. Once your package arrives at the warehouse, it can be consolidated and sent directly to your home in Germany.

Navigating the package forwarding process

The process is surprisingly straightforward. Once you have your US address from a parcel forwarding service, you simply enter that address at checkout on the Prequel website. From there, comGateway takes over the logistics. You can manage your shipment through their dashboard and even check the FAQ section if you have specific questions about how the process works.

If you are planning to stock up on multiple bottles or perhaps add some other US-exclusive brands to your order, you can use an international shipping service to combine everything into one box. This often reduces the total cost of delivery compared to shipping items individually.

Shipping Estimates for Prequel Gleanser

To help you prepare your budget, here are the estimated logistics details for a single unit of Prequel Gleanser (13.5 fl oz / 400ml bottle):

You can use the shipping calculator to get a more precise quote based on your specific city in Germany. Remember to check the list of prohibited items if you plan on adding other products like aerosol sunscreens to your shipment, as these have stricter rules.

Handling German import taxes and VAT

When you ship to Germany, your package will pass through the Zoll (Customs) office. Since 2021, the EU has removed the de minimis threshold for VAT, meaning you will likely be charged the 19% Einfuhrumsatzsteuer (import VAT) on the total value of your goods and shipping. If your order exceeds €150, additional customs duties might apply, though skincare usually falls under a low-duty category.

Choosing a reliable international shipping partner ensures that your documentation is handled correctly, reducing the chances of your Prequel Gleanser getting stuck in a customs warehouse. With the right preparation, you can have the most hydrated skin in the Bundesrepublik by the end of the month.
