Why the Jumbo Size is trending in 2026

I have spent years trying to maintain a healthy skin barrier, especially during the cold winter months here in France. When Drunk Elephant released the Bora Barrier Rich Cream, I knew I had to have it. However, in 2026, the standard 50ml jar available at local retailers feels like it disappears far too quickly for the price we pay. That is why I started looking into the US-exclusive 100ml Jumbo Size.

This massive value size is currently making waves in the beauty community. While we are limited to smaller portions in European stores, our friends in the United States have access to this 100ml version which offers significantly more product for a much lower price-per-ounce. I realized that by using a freight forwarder, I could bypass these local limitations and stock up on my favorite heavy-duty moisturizer.

Comparing the cost of shipping to France

I did the math to see if the international shipping fees would cancel out the savings. In France, buying two 50ml jars of Bora Barrier would cost me significantly more than one 100ml Jumbo jar from a US store. Even with the cost of shipping, the bulk purchase wins. To get an accurate idea of what I would spend, I used a shipping calculator to compare different delivery speeds to my home in Paris.

When I looked at my tax-free us address provided by comGateway, I realized that I would not be paying any US sales tax on the purchase itself. This small detail saves me an extra 6-10% right at the checkout, which I then put toward the shipping cost to France.

Shipping Estimates and Logistics

I know that many people worry about the weight and size of beauty products when shipping internationally. Based on my experience with the Drunk Elephant Bora Barrier Rich Cream (Jumbo Size), here is a breakdown of what you can expect for your logistics planning.

Because the item is relatively compact, it is a perfect candidate for package consolidation. I often wait until I have a few other items at my parcel forwarding service before I ship everything together to France to save on the base shipping rate.

Overcoming the Sephora US payment block

I ran into a major hurdle when I first tried to buy from Sephora US. Many high-end US stores are notorious for blocking international credit cards or refusing to ship to known forwarding addresses. I found that my French Visa card was declined immediately, which was incredibly frustrating. This is a common issue for many of us trying to access US-only deals.

I discovered a solution through the BuyForMe service. Instead of me struggling with the checkout process, I simply tell comGateway what I want, and they buy the item on my behalf using a US domestic payment method. This is the safest way to guarantee that my order does not get cancelled by the store's fraud filters. If you have questions about how this works, you can check the FAQ section for more details.

The process of forwarding packages from the US

If you have never used a service like this before, let me explain how it works based on my recent skincare haul. First, I signed up for a free account to get my US address. I then used the proxy shopping feature to have the 100ml Bora Barrier purchased from the US store.

Once the package arrived at the warehouse in Oregon, I received a notification. Since Oregon is a sales-tax-free state, the price I saw on the store page was exactly what I paid. From there, I selected my preferred shipping method to France. The package arrived at my door in about 6 days, perfectly tracked the whole way.

Final thoughts on my skincare haul

I am genuinely impressed by the value of the Jumbo Size Bora Barrier. My skin feels incredibly hydrated, and I know this 100ml jar will last me well into the spring. For any skincare enthusiast in France who is tired of the limited sizes and high local prices, I recommend looking at the US market. While it takes a few extra steps, the combination of a tax-free us address and a reliable package forwarding partner makes it entirely feasible. I will definitely be using the BuyForMe service for my next restock to avoid any payment headaches.
