Don't get stuck with huge markups on Topicals Slick Salve in Dubai like I almost did

Why everyone is obsessed with Topicals Slick Salve

I’ve been seeing the Topicals Slick Salve Mint Lip Balm all over my feed lately, and honestly, I get it. It is the peak of the 'Clean Girl' aesthetic right now. What makes it stand out for me is that cooling ceramic applicator—it feels so much more premium than a standard plastic tube. The formula is a thick, barrier-repairing salve that gives a high-shine finish without the stickiness of a traditional gloss. It’s perfect for the dry climate we deal with here in the UAE, especially during those transition months in early 2026.

But here is the problem I ran into: finding it in Dubai or Abu Dhabi at a reasonable price is nearly impossible. I wanted that minty, hydrated look, but I wasn't willing to pay the massive premium local shops were asking for. I knew there had to be a better way to shop US stores directly.

My warning about UAE third-party resellers

I’m writing this because I don’t want you to lose money like I almost did. When I first looked for the Slick Salve locally, I found third-party resellers charging almost double the US retail price. They often justify this by saying they’ve already handled the import, but the markup is just too high. Plus, you never really know how long those products have been sitting in a warehouse.

I decided to take matters into my own hands and use a package forwarding service. By using comGateway, I could access the actual US retail price. Even with shipping, it worked out significantly cheaper. Check our guide on Why getting the Topicals Slick Salve Mint Lip Balm to Dubai costs AED 45 less through a US proxy to see the full price breakdown I discovered.

Shipping estimates for your delivery to UAE

Before you hit the buy button, you need to know what you’re looking at in terms of logistics. I used the estimate shipping cost tool to get a clear picture before my package left the States. Here is what I found for this specific item:

My advice is to bundle this with a few other beauty finds. Since the weight is so low, adding a few more items won't drastically change your international shipping rate, making the cost per item even lower.

How I bypassed the US credit card block

This is where things got tricky for me. I tried to buy my Topicals stash from a major US beauty retailer, but my UAE-issued credit card was declined immediately. Many US stores like Sephora or the Topicals official site often block international cards or refuse to ship to a freight forwarder address if they detect a foreign payment method.

I didn't want my order cancelled, so I used the BuyForMe service. Essentially, comGateway buys the item for you using a US-based payment method, and then they receive it at their tax-free US address. It’s the safest way to guarantee your order actually goes through without the headache of constant cancellations. It saved me so much frustration.

Getting your lip balm home safely

If you want to know exactly how it works, the process is pretty straightforward. Once your item arrives at the warehouse, you just notify them to forward packages to your home in the UAE. The tracking is great, and I felt much better knowing my package was being handled by a professional international shipping service.
