Will I pay customs or import fees?
US orders: No. As of July 1, 2026, all US orders ship DDP (duties delivered prepaid), meaning we prepay all import duties on our end. Nothing is due at your door.
Orders outside the US: Possibly. Duties and import taxes are set by your local customs authority and are not collected at checkout, so any charges on delivery are your responsibility.
We're working on rolling out prepaid duties for more countries soon.
The foam is not fluffy and bouncy, but soft and gentle! I feel like I can wash my skin without feeling any strain. They also use it at beauty salons, and I love the scent!
It cleanses your face and removes makeup, and it makes your skin feel better.
I don't wear heavy makeup, so this one was enough for me. I'm not sure if it's the fragrance or the face wash, so I'd like to know more about it.
