Saie hello to my little friend! My first-person sprint to bring the 100ml Super Gel to the UK

My obsession with the 100ml Saie Glowy Super Gel

I have been a fan of the Saie Glowy Super Gel since it first went viral on TikTok years ago. While we can get the standard 30ml bottles here in the United Kingdom, I recently realized that I was going through them far too quickly. When I saw the US-exclusive 100ml Value Size launched at Sephora and on the Saie website, I knew I had to have it. It offers significantly better value for money, and quite frankly, I am tired of scraping the bottom of the smaller bottles every month.

Buy It For Me

Because this specific size is currently restricted to the US market in early 2026, I had to find a way to shop us store options without waiting for a local release that might never happen. I decided to use comGateway as my freight forwarder to bridge the gap between New York and London.

My secret for dodging those annoying US store cancellations

My first attempt to buy the gel directly was a disaster. I tried using my UK-issued credit card at a major US beauty retailer, but the transaction was instantly flagged and cancelled. It turns out many US stores like Sephora, Nike, and Apple are notorious for blocking international credit cards or rejecting orders sent to a parcel forwarding service address.

The international credit card hurdle

I found out the hard way that these stores often check the billing address against the shipping address. If they see an international card, they assume it is a fraudulent transaction or simply a way to bypass regional pricing. This is the biggest headache for any UK shopper trying to access US exclusives.

Why the BuyForMe service is a lifesaver

To fix this, I turned to the BuyForMe service. This proxy shopping or assisted purchase feature essentially means comGateway buys the item on my behalf using a US domestic credit card. I simply sent them the link to the 100ml Saie Glowy Super Gel, and they handled the transaction from their end. The benefit is clear: it is the safest way to guarantee my order doesn't get cancelled by picky US retailers. It took the stress out of the purchase entirely.

Getting my glow across the Atlantic in record time

Once my order was confirmed, it was sent to my tax-free us address in Oregon. Using a tax-free address saved me an extra 7% to 10% in US sales tax right off the bat, which I then put toward my shipping costs. I was eager to get my hands on the product, so I checked the shipping calculator to see which courier would get it to my London doorstep the fastest.

Before I shipped, I made sure to review the list of prohibited items to ensure that a water-based gel highlighter was safe for air travel. Thankfully, it is perfectly fine to ship. I chose an express international shipping service that promised delivery in 3-5 business days.

What I paid for UK shipping and customs in 2026

When you forward packages to the UK, you have to account for VAT and potential customs duties. For my 100ml Saie bottle, the value was under the £135 threshold for customs duty, but I still had to pay the 20% VAT. I used the international shipping rates table on the site to compare different carriers like DHL and FedEx.

I opted for express because I am impatient when it comes to my skincare routine. The international shipping process was seamless, and I received tracking updates every step of the way.

My final verdict on the jumbo value size

Was the extra effort worth it? Absolutely. The 100ml Value Size of the Saie Glowy Super Gel is a massive upgrade over the 30ml version. I have been using it as a primer, a highlighter, and even mixing it with my body lotion for an all-over sheen. By the time this finally launches in the UK, I will probably be on my second bottle. If you are looking for the fastest path to US-exclusive beauty, skipping the wait and using an international shipping partner is the only way to go in 2026.
