My obsession with the 100ml Rhode Jumbo
I have spent most of 2026 trying to keep my skin barrier intact against the unpredictable Swiss winds. When Hailey Bieber’s Rhode brand finally dropped the 100ml Jumbo Size of the Barrier Restore Cream, I knew I had to act fast. We have all seen the standard 50ml tube, but for a daily staple, that size just does not last long enough for my routine. I wanted the big one, and I wanted it before the rest of the skincare community caught on to the stock levels.
Why the US-exclusive version is a big deal in 2026
I noticed a lot of chatter from friends in Singapore who were paying nearly double the price through resellers just to get the standard size. It made me realize how lucky we can be if we go straight to the source. The Jumbo size is currently a US-exclusive offering, providing significantly better value per milliliter than anything I could find locally or through third-party sellers in Europe. My goal was simple: get the best price by shopping directly from the US store. I did not want to wait for a European release that might never happen this year.
My secret to a US-to-Switzerland speed run
I decided to treat this like a speed run. I did not want my package sitting in a warehouse for weeks. To make this happen, I needed a reliable partner to bridge the gap between a US-only storefront and my home in Switzerland. I turned to comGateway to facilitate the move. By using their services, I could shop like a local US resident, which is the only way to access the Jumbo size on the official Rhode website.
Using a tax-free US address
One of the smartest moves I made was utilizing the tax-free US address provided to me. When I ordered my Rhode cream, I avoided US sales tax entirely. This little hack helped offset some of the costs of getting the item across the Atlantic. I simply entered the provided address at checkout on the Rhode site, and my package was on its way to the warehouse in no time. If you are curious about how this works, you can check the FAQ on their site for all the technical details.
Choosing the right international shipping service
Once my Jumbo cream arrived at the warehouse, I had to choose how to get it to Switzerland. I needed an international shipping service that prioritized speed. I was impressed by how quickly they processed my package. I also took a moment to use the shipping calculator to see which courier option offered the best balance of speed and cost. For a single tube of cream, the price was surprisingly reasonable, especially considering the savings I made on the product itself.
Shipping Estimates and Logistics
I know many of you are wondering about the specifics of shipping a skincare item like this. Based on my experience with the Rhode Jumbo Size, here are the estimates I used for my planning:
| Factor | Estimate |
|---|---|
| Box Weight | Approx. 0.4 kg (0.88 lbs) including packaging |
| Box Dimensions | Small (approx. 20cm x 10cm x 5cm) |
| Volumetric Warning | None. This item is dense and small; you will be charged by actual weight. |
| Battery Check | No batteries. This is a topical cream and safe for standard air travel. |
Using a freight forwarder makes these small, lightweight shipments very easy to manage. Since the item isn't bulky, I didn't have to worry about the volumetric weight exceeding the actual weight, which is a common pitfall for larger items like pillows or winter coats.
Swiss customs and local delivery bits
When the package hit the Swiss border, I was ready. Because I used a professional service, the documentation was clear. In Switzerland, we usually have to pay VAT on imports if the value exceeds a certain threshold. I made sure to keep my receipts handy, but the process was smooth. My Rhode-trip ended with the package arriving at my door in Zurich just a few days after it left the US warehouse. It was much faster than the 3-4 weeks I’ve experienced with standard postal services in the past.
My final thoughts on the haul
I am absolutely thrilled with the Rhode Barrier Restore Cream in the 100ml size. My skin feels incredibly hydrated, and I feel like I won a small victory by getting the US-exclusive value delivered right to Switzerland. If you are tired of waiting for local releases or paying inflated reseller prices, I highly recommend taking the direct route. It was a fun personal challenge to see how quickly I could get it, and the results speak for themselves. My vanity is now stocked for the rest of 2026, and I didn't have to break the bank or my patience to make it happen.
