How I saved €22 getting Topicals Slather shipped from the US to my door in Spain

Why I became obsessed with Topicals Slather

Like many of you, I spent most of early 2026 scrolling through TikTok and seeing everyone rave about "strawberry skin" solutions. The one product that kept appearing in every viral video was the Topicals Slather Exfoliating Body Serum. As someone who has dealt with keratosis pilaris for years, I knew I had to try it. It uses a mix of retinol, AHAs, and urea to chemically exfoliate and hydrate at the same time.

The problem? Topicals is a US-based brand, and while it has a massive following in places like the Philippines and the States, getting it here in Spain is surprisingly difficult. I checked every local beauty shop in Madrid, but nobody had it in stock.

The struggle of finding stock in Spain

I realized quickly that local resellers were charging nearly double the US retail price. Because there is no official distribution here, we often get the short end of the stick. I found that Spain lacks local stock for the Topicals Slather Jumbo Size exfoliating serum, which is the version I actually wanted because it's much better value for money.

The math: How I saved €22 on my order

I am a bit of a nerd when it comes to savings, so I sat down with a shipping calculator to see if it was actually cheaper to buy from a US store like Sephora or the official Topicals website and have it sent to me. You might also like to read more: Save €22 on Topicals Slather Exfoliating Body Serum by importing from the USA to Spain. By buying at the US retail price of roughly $30 (€28) instead of the €50+ local resellers were asking, I stayed ahead even after logistics costs.

My step-by-step process using a freight forwarder

Since Topicals doesn't offer direct international shipping to Spain at a reasonable rate, I used comGateway. They provided me with a tax-free US address in Oregon. This meant I didn't have to pay US sales tax when I bought the serum from the US store.

Once the package arrived at my US suite, I used the freight forwarder service to bundle it with a few other skincare items I couldn't find locally. This package forwarding method is the most efficient way I've found to handle a Spain delivery without the headache of direct shipping restrictions.

Shipping Estimates for Topicals Slather

To help you plan your own haul, here is what I found regarding the logistics of this specific serum:

I recommend using an international shipping service that offers consolidation if you are buying more than one bottle. It makes the cost per item much lower.

What you need to know about import tax in Spain

When you ship to Spain, you have to be mindful of the import tax and VAT. For items coming from outside the EU, you will generally be charged 21% VAT. I always check the latest updates on import duties to make sure I am not surprised by a bill from the courier. Even with the 21% VAT, I still found that my total cost was significantly lower than buying from a local middleman who had already factored those costs—plus their own profit margin—into the price.

I usually prefer DHL international shipping for my beauty hauls because they handle the customs clearance very quickly, although FedEx international shipping is also a solid choice for Spain. If you're looking for a proxy shopping experience where someone buys it for you, that's an option too, but I find it's easy enough to just shop US store sites myself using my forwarder address.
