My Glow-Up Is Stuck at the US Border and Other Stories of Getting Merit’s 2026 Body Glow to Malaysia

Why I’m Obsessed with the 2026 Merit Body Glow Launch

I’ve been waiting for the May 2026 Merit Beauty launch for months. When "The Great Skin" Body Glow finally dropped last week, my first instinct was to grab my wallet. This isn't just another body oil; it’s the expansion of their legendary serum into a full-body experience. As someone who follows the 'clean girl' aesthetic closely, I knew this would be the highlight of the 2026 summer season. It promises that glass-skin finish without the grease, which is exactly what I need for the Malaysian humidity.

The Frustrating Barrier Between Malaysia and 'The Great Skin'

There is one major problem that I face constantly. Merit Beauty currently does not ship to Singapore or Malaysia. This is a common hurdle for us beauty enthusiasts in Southeast Asia. When a product is a US-exclusive, it feels like we are invited to the party but can't get through the front door. I checked their site, and sure enough, direct shipping options for us are non-existent. This is where I have to get creative with how I shop US store collections.

My Secret for US-Exclusive Beauty Shopping

I’ve learned that the most reliable way to get these items is to use a freight forwarder. By using a service that provides a tax-free US address, I can buy the Body Glow just like a local. I simply ship my Merit order to my warehouse address in the States, and then they handle the rest. If you are new to this, I recommend checking out this step-by-step guide to see how easy it is to set up.

Estimating the Cost to Malaysia

Before I commit to a big haul, I always use the shipping calculator. It helps me estimate shipping cost totals so I don’t get a surprise when the package arrives in Malaysia. Since the Body Glow is a glass bottle, I also make sure to factor in a bit of weight for protective packaging.

When My Credit Card Failed: The BuyForMe Rescue

I’ve run into a wall before where my Malaysian credit card was rejected by big US brands like Nike, Sephora, or Apple. Some stores are very strict and will only accept a US domestic credit card. They might even decline an order if they see it is being sent to a forwarder. It’s incredibly annoying to have my order cancelled after I’ve spent an hour picking out shades.

This is why I often rely on the BuyForMe service. With this proxy shopping option, I tell the team at comGateway what I want, and they purchase the item on my behalf using a US domestic card. We have found that this is the safest way to guarantee that a difficult store doesn't cancel the order. It removes the stress of wondering if my payment will be accepted.

Handling the Shipping Process from the US to Malaysia

Once the BuyForMe team or the store delivers my package to the warehouse, I use the international shipping service to bring it home. I usually wait until I have a few items—maybe some new clothes or other 2026 beauty releases—so I can consolidate them. This saves me a lot on the base shipping rates. The international shipping process to Malaysia is quite efficient, and I usually see my package within a week of it leaving the US.

What You Need to Know About Shipping Rules and Imports

I always make sure to double-check the shipping rules before ordering liquids or beauty products. While body oils are generally fine, there are certain restricted goods like flammable aerosols that can’t be shipped. It’s better to be safe than have your package held up. For more specific questions about customs and duties in Malaysia, the FAQ section on the website is my go-to resource. Their help center covers everything from tax thresholds to packaging options, ensuring my Merit Beauty haul arrives safely and legally.
