I picked the new Glow Recipe serum from the US and saved a berry sweet amount

Why I am obsessed with the new Blackberry Retinol

I have always been a fan of fruit-powered skincare, and when I heard that Glow Recipe was launching a Blackberry Retinol Smoothing Serum in March 2026, I knew I had to have it. The buzz around this product is massive because it promises that elusive 'glass skin' finish without the usual irritation that comes with vitamin A. My skin has been craving something that balances exfoliation with the antioxidant power of blackberries, but as usual, the launch was limited to the US market first.

Submit Order

I checked my local stores in Singapore, and the wait times were frustrating. Some retailers mentioned it might not arrive for months. I did not want to wait until the middle of 2026 to start my glow journey. That is why I decided to shop directly from the source. By using comGateway as my freight forwarder, I could access the product the same week it launched in New York.

Comparing the price gap between the US and Singapore

One thing I noticed immediately was the significant price difference. Even when luxury skincare brands eventually arrive in Singapore, the markup is often 20% to 40% higher than the US retail price. When I factored in the current exchange rates for 2026, buying the serum from a US store felt like a bargain. Even with the cost of shipping, I found that I was still saving a significant amount compared to what the local retail price is projected to be.

I used a shipping calculator to see if the math checked out. By bundling the serum with a few other US-exclusive beauty items, my total cost per item dropped even further. It is a berry sweet deal when you realize you can get the latest technology in skincare for less than the price of an older formula sold locally.

How I bypass Sephora US strict checkout with BuyForMe

I have tried shopping at Sephora US before, and it can be a nightmare. Many US stores are notorious for blocking international credit cards or simply canceling any order that looks like it is going to a shipping company. I have had my fair share of 'Order Cancelled' emails that ruined my day. This is where I found a much easier solution.

I started using the BuyForMe service offered by comGateway. Instead of me struggling with my Singapore-issued card, I just tell them what I want. They use a US domestic card to purchase the item on my behalf. This is the safest way to guarantee that my order goes through without a hitch. Since they are buying it as a local customer, the store processes it like any other US order. It takes the stress out of international shopping, especially for high-demand drops like this retinol serum.

Shipping estimates for my skincare haul

I know many of you are worried about how much it costs to move a small bottle across the ocean. I did some research on the Glow Recipe Blackberry Retinol Smoothing Serum to help you plan your budget. Here is my estimate for what you can expect in your package:

I always suggest checking the latest international shipping rates before you finalize your cart. If you are only buying one bottle, the shipping might seem high, but if you add a few more items to your suite, the consolidated shipping becomes very affordable.

What I need to know about Singapore import tax

Living in Singapore, we have to be mindful of the Goods and Services Tax (GST). As of 2026, the rules for low-value goods have evolved, and I always make sure to keep my total haul value in mind to avoid surprises. If you are importing multiple luxury items, you should read up on import duties to see how they apply to your specific package value.

I have found that as long as I stay organized, the process is very smooth. My packages usually clear customs quickly, and because I used a tax-free US address provided by my forwarder, I did not have to pay any US sales tax at the point of purchase. That 7% to 10% saving in the US often covers a good chunk of the shipping cost to Singapore!

Finding extra help for my delivery

If this is your first time shipping from the US to Singapore, don't worry. I was nervous my first time too, but the support teams are usually very helpful. If you get stuck on how to list your items for customs or how to track your package once it leaves the warehouse, you can always check the FAQ for quick answers. My experience has been that as long as you follow the steps, your serum will arrive at your doorstep in Singapore ready for your nighttime routine. I am already seeing the results from my first week of use, and I am so glad I didn't wait for the local release.
