Why is the Prequel Gleanser so much cheaper in the US than from Singapore resellers?

What is the secret behind the 50% glycerin hype?

Why is a single cleanser dominating social media feeds in 2026? The Prequel Gleanser Non-Drying Cleanser has achieved viral status because of its unconventional formulation. While most cleansers use water as their primary ingredient, Prequel utilizes a staggering 50% glycerin base. This humectant-heavy approach ensures that the skin barrier remains intact and hydrated, even after a deep cleanse.

In Singapore’s humid climate, finding a cleanser that removes sweat and pollutants without stripping the skin is a constant struggle. TikTok users have documented the "glass skin" effect this product provides, leading to a surge in demand across Southeast Asia. However, because Prequel remains a US-based brand with limited international retail presence, local fans often find themselves staring at "out of stock" notices or exorbitant markups from third-party sellers.

The massive price gap between the US and Singapore

Have you noticed the startling difference in what you pay for skincare locally versus the original US retail price? In the United States, a 13.5 fl oz bottle of Prequel Gleanser typically retails for approximately $18 USD. By the time this same bottle reaches the shelves of independent resellers in Singapore, the price often balloons to $60 SGD or more.

This price disparity occurs because resellers factor in their own profit margins, high individual shipping costs, and storage overheads. By choosing to shop us store directly, you can bypass these middleman markups. Even when including the cost of international transit, many savvy shoppers find that buying multiple bottles or bundling their skincare haul results in significant savings compared to local prices.

How to buy Prequel from the US today

Since Prequel does not offer direct international shipping to Singapore, you will need a reliable freight forwarder to bridge the gap. Using a service like comGateway allows you to access a tax-free us address, which is essential for keeping your initial purchase cost low. Many US retailers charge sales tax based on the delivery location; by shipping to a tax-free warehouse in Oregon, you save an additional 7% to 10% right at the checkout.

The process is straightforward: register for an account to receive your unique US address, enter that address as your shipping destination on the Prequel website, and once your package arrives at the warehouse, you can arrange to ship to Singapore. This method gives you full control over your order and ensures you are receiving authentic products directly from the source.

To help you plan your budget, we have analyzed the physical specifications of this viral cleanser. Knowing these details will help you use the shipping calculator more effectively.

If you are worried about the cost of shipping a single item, consider consolidating your purchases. You can shop from multiple US stores and have the package forwarding service combine them into one box, which significantly reduces the cost per item.

Understanding 2026 Singapore import rules

Before you hit the buy button, it is important to stay updated on local regulations. As of 2026, Singapore applies a Goods and Services Tax (GST) on all imported goods. You should factor in the current 9% GST rate when calculating your total landed cost. Check our guide on import duties to see how these charges are applied to your specific order value.

Additionally, while skincare is generally safe to ship, always verify that your items are not on the list of prohibited items. For example, certain medicinal-grade topical treatments may require specific permits from the Health Sciences Authority (HSA). The Prequel Gleanser is a standard cosmetic wash and typically faces no issues, but staying informed ensures a smooth Singapore delivery experience without unexpected delays at customs.

Is the extra effort of using a forwarder worth it? For those seeking the gold standard of hydration at a fraction of the local resale price, the answer is a resounding yes. By shopping smart and using a shipping calculator, you can maintain your 2026 skincare routine without the inflated price tags found in local boutiques.
