Why the Rhode Jumbo size is taking over 2026
It is March 2026, and if your social feed looks anything like mine, it is covered in Rhode. Hailey Bieber’s brand has reached a new peak with the launch of the Rhode Barrier Restore Cream (Jumbo Size). This 100ml powerhouse is double the size of the standard 50ml tube, but there is a catch: it is currently a US webstore exclusive. While local resellers in Europe often hike up the prices of the standard size, the Jumbo version remains elusive for those of us in the Netherlands unless we get a bit creative with how we shop.
The hype is real because the Barrier Restore Cream has become a holy grail for skin barrier repair. Getting the value size means you are not constantly reordering and paying for multiple smaller shipments. However, many Dutch beauty lovers hesitate because they assume the logistics are too complicated.
The math behind the €40 savings
Let’s look at the numbers because that is where the real story is. In the Netherlands, buying two standard 50ml tubes from resellers or third-party platforms often costs upwards of €95 when you factor in their markups. The Rhode Barrier Restore Cream (Jumbo Size) retails on the US site for a much more reasonable price point.
Even after you use a freight forwarder and account for the international shipping service, you are looking at a total cost of around €55 to €60. That is a massive difference. You effectively save €40 on the Rhode Jumbo Barrier Restore Cream compared to buying the equivalent volume locally. By using a tax-free us address provided by comGateway, you also skip the US domestic sales tax, keeping those savings in your pocket.
Correcting the myth about shipping skincare to the Netherlands
I see this all the time on Reddit and beauty forums: the idea that shipping a single moisturizer from the US to Amsterdam or Utrecht is "impossible" or "too expensive to be worth it." That is a huge misconception. People think customs will hold the package for weeks or that the shipping cost will be higher than the product itself.
The reality in 2026 is that a parcel forwarding service has made this process incredibly streamlined. When you forward packages through a pro-level freight forwarder, they handle the logistics and provide clear documentation, which actually speeds up the process through PostNL or DHL once it hits Dutch soil. If you are worried about the cost, you can always check a shipping calculator to estimate shipping cost before you even hit the buy button.
Shipping Estimates for the Jumbo Cream
To help you plan your haul, here is a breakdown of what to expect for this specific item:
| Box Weight | Approx. 0.4 kg (0.88 lbs) including protective packaging. |
| Box Dimensions | Small (Approx. 20cm x 12cm x 8cm). It is a very compact tube. |
| Volumetric Warning | Low risk. This item is dense and small, so you will likely be charged by actual weight rather than size. |
| Battery Check | Contains no lithium batteries. No special hazardous material fees apply. |
Because the item is so light, I highly recommend "parcel consolidation." If you add a few Lip Peptide Treatments or the Glazing Milk to your order, your shipping cost per item drops significantly. You can see how this works in the FAQ on the comGateway site.
How to buy from the US store right now
Ready to grab that Jumbo tube? Since the US Rhode store doesn't ship directly to the Netherlands, you just need to follow a few simple steps. First, you get your own US address from a parcel forwarding service. This allows you to shop us store websites just like a local would.
Here is the step-by-step guide on how it works:
- Sign up for a tax-free us address at comGateway.
- Go to the Rhode US webstore and add the Jumbo Barrier Restore Cream to your cart.
- At checkout, use your new US shipping address.
- Once the package arrives at the warehouse, you will be notified.
- Choose your preferred shipping method to the Netherlands and forward packages to your home.
It is much simpler than people make it out to be, and the help center is always available if you get stuck during the checkout process.
Importing to the Netherlands: What you need to know
When shipping to the Netherlands, you should be aware of the BTW (VAT). Since 2021, all goods imported from outside the EU are subject to VAT, regardless of value. Usually, for skincare, this is 21%. You might also pay a small handling fee to the local courier.
Even with the 21% BTW, the price per ml of the Jumbo size remains significantly lower than buying standard sizes locally. The international shipping service you choose will often allow you to pre-pay these fees or pay them easily via a link sent by the courier, so there are no surprises at your doorstep. If you want to be 100% sure of the total, use the shipping calculator to get a full picture of the landed cost. Happy glowing!
