More about shipping to United Arab Emirates

The problem for those of us in the Middle East is that Topicals does not ship directly here yet. This has created a massive secondary market where people are desperate to get their hands on a tube to fix sunspots caused by the intense UAE summer.

Local UAE resellers vs. Direct US shopping

When you look for this serum locally, you usually have two choices. You can buy from an Instagram shop or a local third-party marketplace, or you can use a freight forwarder to buy it directly from the United States. Let's look at the math.

Local resellers in the UAE often mark up the price by 150% to 200%. A tube that retails for about $38 in the US might be listed for 350 AED or more locally. When you choose to shop us store sites like Sephora or the official Topicals website, you get the authentic product at the intended price. Even after adding international shipping rates, many shoppers find that they save money by bundling the serum with other US-only beauty brands that are hard to find in Dubai Mall.

The invisible barrier: Why your order keeps getting cancelled

You might think it is as simple as entering your Dubai credit card and shipping it to a tax-free us address. However, many shoppers face a frustrating hurdle. Many major US beauty retailers have strict fraud filters that automatically decline orders made with international credit cards or those being sent to a package forwarding warehouse.

This is the "hidden barrier" that stops most people from getting their skincare fix. You might try three different cards and still see your order status change to "Cancelled" within minutes. If you run into issues, checking the FAQ section of your forwarder can help, but often the store's policy is the real roadblock.

How BuyForMe solves the international card block

This is where the "BuyForMe" service becomes a lifesaver. Instead of you trying to convince a US store to accept your UAE-issued Visa or Mastercard, comGateway acts as your proxy. With BuyForMe, the service uses a US-based payment method and a domestic billing address to purchase the Topicals Faded Serum on your behalf.

This is the safest way to guarantee your order doesn't get cancelled by picky retailers like Sephora or Nike. You just tell them what you want, and they handle the transaction. It removes the stress of dealing with declined payments and ensures your package actually reaches the parcel forwarding service hub safely.

Shipping logistics and weight estimates

Before you hit the checkout button, it is smart to use a shipping calculator to see what the final cost to the UAE will be. Here is what you can expect for a standard order of Topicals Faded Serum:

• Box Weight: Approx. 0.3 kg to 0.5 kg (This includes the tube, the product box, and the shipping mailer).
• Box Dimensions: Small (Skincare tubes are compact, usually arriving in a small padded envelope or a 6x4x4 inch box).
• Volumetric Warning: This product is very dense and small. You do not need to worry about volumetric weight unless you are buying a massive quantity or including bulky items like pillows in the same shipment.
• Battery Check: This item is a cream/serum and does not contain lithium batteries. It is safe for standard air travel.

To get the best value, we recommend using a forward packages strategy where you combine multiple items from different US stores into one box. Shipping one tiny tube alone might be expensive, but adding it to a larger clothing or electronics haul makes the per-item international shipping cost much lower.

Import rules for the United Arab Emirates

In 2026, the UAE continues to have specific rules for personal imports. Generally, shipments with a value under 1,000 AED may be exempt from certain customs duties, though 5% VAT usually still applies. Because Topicals Faded Serum is a cosmetic product, it generally passes through customs without the strict requirements that medications might face. If you have specific concerns about restricted ingredients, the support team can usually provide guidance on what is allowed into the country.

By bypassing the local resellers and using a dedicated freight forwarder, you ensure that your skincare routine stays consistent without the massive price hikes often found in local boutiques.
