Why the Prequel Gleanser is my top pick for 2026

I have tracked dozens of skincare launches over the last few years, but the Prequel Gleanser stands out because of its 50% glycerin concentration. In 2026, finding a non-drying cleanser that actually cleanses without stripping the skin barrier is still a priority for my routine. This product, developed by dermatologists, has stayed at the top of us trends because it offers luxury formulation at a drugstore price point.

The problem I faced was that Prequel remains a US-based brand with limited international reach. If you live in Switzerland like I do, you know that getting these high-demand items often requires a workaround. I don't wait for local retailers to catch up; I use a freight forwarder to get it directly from the source.

How I shop US store sites from Switzerland

When I want to shop us store websites, I use a tax-free us address provided by comGateway. This allows me to purchase the Gleanser just like a US resident would. By shipping to a warehouse in Oregon, I avoid US sales tax, which keeps my initial costs down before the item even begins its journey to Switzerland.

I’ve found that many Swiss shoppers aren't aware of how simple this process is. Once the item arrives at the warehouse, I receive a notification and can decide when to ship it to my home. I recommend checking the us trends page frequently to see what other skincare brands are currently popular among international buyers.

My shipping cost breakdown and estimates

I want to provide a realistic look at the logistics for this specific item so you can plan your budget. The Prequel Gleanser comes in a generous 500ml (16.9 fl oz) bottle, which is heavier than your average facial wash. Based on my experience, here is the shipping profile for a single bottle:

To get a precise figure for your specific city in Switzerland, I suggest using the shipping calculator. It helps me avoid surprises at checkout. You can also compare different international shipping rates to choose between express or standard delivery times.

How I handle US credit card blocks with BuyForMe

One of the most frustrating parts of my shopping experience was discovering that some US retailers do not accept Swiss credit cards. I’ve had orders from major brands like Sephora and Nike cancelled simply because my billing address was outside the United States. If you encounter this when trying to buy Prequel or other viral products, I recommend the BuyForMe service.

This assisted purchase program is my go-to solution for difficult stores. Essentially, comGateway buys the item on my behalf using a US domestic payment method. This bypasses the international card block and ensures my order is processed successfully. It is the safest way I've found to guarantee an order doesn't get flagged by automated fraud systems. For more details on how this works, you can visit the support section.

Swiss customs and import tax details

I always factor in local regulations when I ship to Switzerland. As of 2026, you should be mindful of the VAT and duty thresholds. Generally, if the value of your goods (including shipping costs) results in a VAT amount of less than 5 CHF, it may be waived. However, for a luxury skincare haul, you will likely need to pay the standard Swiss VAT of 8.1%.

Check our guide on customs tax to understand how these fees are calculated. I’ve learned that being proactive about import tax prevents my packages from being held at the border for too long. If you have questions about specific Swiss restrictions, the FAQ on the comGateway site is quite helpful.

Setting up your package forwarding process

My routine for getting US products is straightforward. I first sign up for a comGateway account to get my US address. I then place my order at the Prequel store. If they reject my card, I immediately switch to the BuyForMe service. Once the cleanser arrives at my US address, I check the international shipping rates one last time and consolidate it with any other orders I have to save on shipping fees.

I prefer to ship multiple items at once. Since the Prequel Gleanser is 1.5 lbs, adding a few more lightweight items like serums or sunscreens often doesn't increase the shipping cost significantly. This is the most efficient way I've found to maintain my skincare routine with US-exclusive products while living in Switzerland.
