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.

We're working on rolling out prepaid duties for more countries soon.
First of all, this is a repeat product, and it keeps my skin translucent! The moisture is also impeccable, so even though it's expensive, it's worth it. I only use it at night, but it's an essential product for me. I'm looking forward to seeing if they sell refills in the future. The container is so nice, so I feel bad every time I throw it away. I really wish they would sell refills... I wonder if it's difficult because they're particular about the contents.
It absorbs easily into the skin, and the next morning, my skin feels great. The calming scent makes skincare time a relaxing experience.
It's the most absorbent lotion I've ever used. It's a scent that even I, who don't like artificial scents, can easily use.
It's a watery liquid that's refreshing and easy to use! Even if you use it in the morning, it won't affect your makeup or make it come off easily, so it's easy to use.
It's pretty good! The scent is relaxing. It's moisturizing and not too sticky. I might buy it again.
