Why I am importing Prequel Skin Gleanser from the US instead of buying locally in Italy

Why I think everyone is talking about Prequel Skin

I have been seeing the Prequel Skin "Gleanser" all over my social media feeds throughout 2026. If you are like me and struggle with skin that feels tight after washing, this product is a literal dream. It contains 50% glycerin, which is almost unheard of in the skincare world. Most cleansers use water as the primary ingredient, but Prequel decided to prioritize hydration above everything else.

I noticed that while the brand is gaining massive traction globally, it remains a US-exclusive clinical brand. People in Asia and Europe are desperate to get their hands on it, especially the 500ml Jumbo size. I've been browsing us trends and realized that this specific bottle is the gold standard for value right now. In Italy, where our climate can swing from humid to very dry, a non-drying glycerin cleanser is exactly what my routine was missing.

The massive price gap for the 500ml Jumbo size

One thing that really frustrated me was seeing the price difference between buying directly from the US and trying to find a reseller in Europe. In the United States, the 500ml Gleanser retails for around $18 to $22. When I looked for local alternatives or specialty importers in Italy, the prices were often double or triple for much smaller quantities. I realized that even with shipping, it is much cheaper for me to shop us store sites directly.

How I shop US stores and get them delivered to Italy

Since Prequel Skin does not ship directly to my home in Rome, I had to find a reliable freight forwarder. I decided to use a tax-free us address provided by comGateway. This allowed me to avoid US sales tax at checkout, which saved me even more money. If you are curious about the logistics, I recommend checking out this step-by-step guide on how the process works.

My breakdown of the shipping costs to Italy

I know many of you are worried about the cost of shipping liquids overseas. I used the shipping calculator to get a rough idea before I hit the buy button. Here is my estimate for shipping a single 500ml Jumbo bottle:

Because the bottle is quite heavy for its size, I suggest bundling it with other items to make the international shipping rates more cost-effective per item.

How I fixed my order cancellations with BuyForMe

When I first tried to buy from some US-exclusive beauty sites, my order was immediately cancelled. I found out that many US stores block international credit cards or refuse to ship to addresses they flag as forwarders. This is a common hurdle for us in Italy.

My solution was using the BuyForMe service. Instead of me trying to use my Italian Mastercard, I had comGateway buy the product for me using their own US domestic payment methods. This is the safest way to ensure your order actually gets processed. It took away all the stress of wondering if my order would be voided the next morning.

My final tips for your Italy delivery

Once my package arrived at the warehouse, I chose the fastest shipping option to ensure my Italy delivery arrived before my current cleanser ran out. Remember that when importing to Italy, you should be aware of local IVA (VAT) and customs duties for items over a certain value. However, even with these fees, the 500ml size lasts so long that it remains a better investment than anything I can find locally in 2026.
