The logic behind why I ship the Youth To The People refill from the USA

The math behind the refill hype

I have been a loyal fan of the Youth To The People Superfood Cleanser for years, but keeping up with the 8oz glass bottles in the Netherlands has become a bit of a financial burden. In 2026, I noticed a huge trend where skincare enthusiasts globally are moving away from small retail packaging. While browsing us trends, I saw that the 32oz refill size is the gold standard for value in the States, yet it remains a US exclusive.

The logic is simple. Buying four 8oz bottles locally in Amsterdam costs significantly more than one 32oz glass refill from a US retailer. Even with the cost of international shipping, the price per ounce drops by nearly 40%. I realized that I was basically paying for the heavy glass pump assembly over and over again when I only needed the product itself.

My strategy to shop US stores

When I first tried to buy the refill, I hit a few snags because some US beauty retailers are picky about international credit cards. I found that using the proxy shopping service was the easiest way to bypass those checkout errors. We often call this a proxy shopping or BuyForMe service, and it basically means someone in the US handles the transaction for me.

I usually check Sephora US or the official YTTP website first. Since these items are only sold in the US market, having a local presence is the only way to secure the 32oz size before it sells out. I always make sure to check the prohibited items list before I order any liquids, but thankfully, standard facial cleansers are perfectly fine for transit.

Why I use a freight forwarder

I don't just ship directly because most US stores won't send the 32oz glass bottle to Europe. I use comGateway to get a tax-free US shipping address in Oregon. This is a massive help because I avoid paying US sales tax on top of the product price. Once the bottle arrives at my US address, my freight forwarder notifies me so I can prepare the final leg of the journey.

Using a freight forwarder also gives me the option to consolidate. If I am buying other US-exclusive serums or moisturizers, I can put them all in one box to lower the overall international shipping cost per item.

Shipping estimates for the Superfood Cleanser

I know everyone wants to know the actual numbers. Based on my experience shipping the 32oz (approx. 946ml) bottle, here is what you should expect. I always use the shipping calculator before I commit to a purchase.

If you are shipping to the Netherlands, you can choose between various carriers. I usually compare DHL international shipping for speed or FedEx international shipping if I want a specific delivery window. Both are reliable for glass items as long as the freight forwarder adds sufficient padding.

Import tax and Netherlands customs

We have to talk about the import tax because the Netherlands is strict. When the package arrives, you will be responsible for the 21% BTW (VAT). Since the 32oz refill is usually priced around $110 USD, it falls under the €150 threshold for customs duties, but you will still pay that 21% VAT and the carrier handling fee. Even with these extra costs, the bulk savings from the US price still keep me in the green compared to buying four small bottles at retail prices in Europe.

My final verdict on the value

I believe this is the most sustainable way to keep my skincare routine going in 2026. By ordering once every six months, I reduce the carbon footprint of multiple small shipments and save a significant amount of money. The 'Clean at Sephora' movement is great, but the 32oz refill is the only way to make it affordable for a long-term routine. If you are tired of the markup in local shops, I highly recommend looking at the US value sizes and using a reliable service to bring them home.
