Buy It For Me

Just a moment, securing your connection...

However, there is a catch for those living in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, or Sharjah. This specific version of the serum is an Ulta Exclusive retail launch. This means it is not stocked in local UAE pharmacies or Sephora outlets, creating a supply gap for international fans of the brand.

Overcoming the Ulta US exclusivity barrier

The primary obstacle for UAE residents is that Ulta Beauty does not offer direct international shipping to the Middle East. Many shoppers also find that US retailers occasionally decline international credit cards. To solve this, you can utilize the BuyForMe service, which acts as a proxy shopping solution. This service handles the purchase on your behalf, ensuring you do not miss out on exclusive US drops.

Ordering from the US using a freight forwarder

To get your hands on this serum, you need a freight forwarder that provides you with a tax-free US address. By using comGateway, you can shop at Ulta as if you were located in the United States. Once your package arrives at the US warehouse, it can be forwarded to your doorstep in the UAE.

Shipping Estimates for UAE delivery

Understanding the logistics of skincare products is essential for budgeting. Below are the estimated logistics details for the Dr. Althea Vitamin C Boosting Serum (30ml standard size):

Managing UAE import tax and customs in 2026

When you use international shipping to the UAE, your package will pass through Dubai or Abu Dhabi customs. In 2026, the UAE continues to apply a 5% VAT on most imported goods. If your total shipment value exceeds AED 1,000, you may be subject to additional import tax or customs duties. Utilizing a reliable carrier like DHL international shipping or FedEx international shipping through your provider ensures that these documents are handled professionally, though you should be prepared to pay the 5% VAT upon arrival or during the checkout process.

A simple guide to getting your serum

Following a step-by-step guide makes the process seamless. First, register for a US shipping address. Second, head to the Ulta website and place your order using that address. If you encounter payment issues, use the proxy shopping feature provided by your freight forwarder. Once the item is received at the warehouse, select your preferred shipping method to the UAE. You might also like to consolidate multiple beauty purchases into one box to save on the base shipping rate for the first half-kilogram.
