Stick it to the wait times by grabbing the Merit 2026 Minimalist from the US today

May 13, 2026

Joining the Merit 2026 hype train

Finding the perfect complexion product that doesn't look like a mask is the ultimate beauty goal in 2026. The Merit Beauty 'The Minimalist' Perfecting Complexion Stick (2026 Reformulation) has set the internet on fire, especially across Seoul and Singapore, for its updated skin-mimicking technology. While the original was a staple, the 2026 upgrade offers double the wear time without sacrificing that dewy, breathable finish that fans adore. The only snag is that this new formula is currently locked behind US retail borders, leaving international shoppers in a bit of a beauty bind.

Acquiring the US-exclusive formula now

Beating the local release dates requires a bit of tactical shopping. Since the 2026 reformulation is currently only available through US-based storefronts, you need a way to bridge the gap. Using a freight forwarder like comGateway provides you with a tax-free US address, allowing you to shop US store sites just like a local. This is the fastest way to jump the queue before the product eventually trickles down to local shelves months from now.

Estimating your shipping logistics

Calculating your total landed cost before you hit the checkout button prevents any surprises. You can use the shipping calculator to estimate shipping cost based on the physical profile of the Merit stick. Because makeup is generally compact, it is an ideal candidate for international shipping.

Box weight and dimensions

Metric Estimate
Box Weight Approx. 0.3 kg (0.6 lbs) including protective packaging
Box Dimensions Small (Approx. 15cm x 10cm x 5cm)

Volumetric and battery checks

Staying informed about shipping rules helps avoid delays. For the Merit stick, you don't need to worry about a Volumetric Warning; the item is small and dense, meaning you will likely be charged by actual weight rather than size. Regarding power, this product does not contain lithium batteries, so it bypasses the stricter hazardous materials protocols. However, if you are adding other beauty gadgets to your cart, check the prohibited items list to ensure no restricted goods end up in your shipment.

Utilizing the BuyForMe service for a stress-free purchase

Overcoming payment hurdles is the biggest challenge when shopping US-exclusive launches. Many premium retailers or big-name beauty hubs often decline orders that use international credit cards or are destined for a known freight forwarder. If you find your transaction being cancelled, comGateway’s "BuyForMe" service is the specific solution you need.

When you use BuyForMe, a dedicated team in the US purchases the Merit 2026 stick on your behalf using a US-issued payment card. This effectively removes the risk of a cancelled order and ensures you get your hands on the limited-stock reformulation without the frustration of repeated checkout failures. It is the most reliable method to forward packages from stores that are notoriously difficult for international buyers.

Handling customs and local delivery

Ensuring a smooth Singapore delivery involves understanding the local import landscape. When you buy from US ship to Singapore, remember that all imports are subject to the prevailing GST. Check our guide on import duties to see if your total order value (including shipping) will trigger additional customs tax. By using a professional parcel forwarding service, you can consolidate multiple US purchases into one box, which can significantly lower the per-item cost of your ship to Singapore experience.
