Why I am obsessed with Topicals Faded Serum in 2026

If you have been following my skincare journey this year, you know that my battle with hyperpigmentation has been long and exhausting. In early 2026, I finally decided to try the Topicals Faded Serum for Dark Spots. It has been trending everywhere for its unique sulfur-based scent and, more importantly, its incredible results on stubborn marks. However, looking at the prices from local resellers in Singapore made me do a double-take. They were charging nearly twice the US retail price!

I realized that the most cost-effective way to maintain my glow was to go straight to the source. By using a tax-free us address, I could shop like a local in the States and save a significant amount of money, even after factoring in the delivery fees. It turns out that buying from US stores is the best way to ensure I am getting a fresh, authentic product without the "convenience tax" added by middle-men.

Busting the myth that shipping to Singapore is a hassle

I used to believe the myth that international shipping was only for large furniture or bulk electronics. I thought shipping a single tube of serum would be a logistical nightmare. I was wrong. I started using comGateway to handle my packages, and the process was smoother than my skin after a chemical peel.

The beauty of using a freight forwarder is that I can combine my skincare orders with other items from different US retailers. This way, I maximize the value of my shipment. If you are worried about the cost, you can always use a shipping calculator to see exactly what you will be paying before you even click "buy."

Shipping Estimates for your skincare haul

To help you plan your own haul, I have put together some estimates based on my recent order of Topicals Faded Serum for Dark Spots. This should help you use the estimate shipping cost tool more effectively.

Metric Details
Box Weight Approx. 0.4 lbs (0.18 kg) for a single 50ml tube and its packaging.
Box Dimensions Small (Approx. 7 x 3 x 2 inches). It is very compact!
Volumetric Warning Skincare tubes are dense. You generally do not have to worry about volumetric weight unless you are buying massive quantities of cotton pads or empty plastic bottles.
Battery Check This item contains no lithium batteries. It is safe for standard air freight.

Because the item is so light, I highly recommend checking out the international shipping rates and adding a few more items to your cart to make the base shipping fee worthwhile. A few more serums or a new moisturizer won't add much to the weight but will definitely make your shipping cost per item drop.

How I bypass store blocks with BuyForMe

Here is a little secret I learned the hard way: some US stores like Sephora US or even the main Topicals website can be picky. They sometimes block international credit cards or refuse to ship to addresses they recognize as forwarders. I had my order cancelled twice before I discovered the BuyForMe service.

Essentially, comGateway acts as my proxy shopping assistant. I tell them what I want, and they buy the item using a US domestic credit card. This completely removes the risk of my order being flagged or cancelled. If you have ever felt the frustration of a "transaction declined" message from a US store, this assisted purchase option is the safest way to guarantee your skincare arrives at your doorstep.

My experience with Singapore import taxes

One thing that often scares people away from shopping from the US is the fear of hidden costs at customs. In Singapore, we have to stay mindful of the current GST regulations. I always make sure to factor in the import tax when calculating my total savings. Check our guide on GST/VAT to stay updated on the 2026 thresholds.

By keeping my total value within reasonable limits, I find that the shipping fees and taxes are still far lower than what I would pay to a local reseller who has already baked those costs (and their profit margin) into the price. It feels great to be a savvy shopper in 2026!
