Why German customers order The Minimalist via PostUK
Germany has excellent pharmacy skincare — Eucerin, NIVEA, La Roche-Posay — but clinical-grade actives at Minimalist price points are not easy to find. The Minimalist offers serums like Niacinamide 10% + Zinc at £3.90 for 30ml, Retinol 0.2% in Squalane at £5.90, and Vitamin C 10% + EUK at £4.90. Comparable products from Paula's Choice or apotheke-stocked brands cost significantly more.
German skincare enthusiasts — particularly those who follow ingredient-focused routines — use PostUK to access the full Minimalist catalogue at UK prices and forward to Germany.

Importing skincare from the UK to Germany
Cosmetics and skincare can be imported freely from the UK into Germany — there are no product-category restrictions on serums, moisturisers, or exfoliants. German MwSt (19%) may apply to parcels valued over €150. Customs duty also applies on goods over €150. For a typical Minimalist order of 4–6 products (total value around £20–40), no customs charges are triggered. These are assessed by German customs and are not included in PostUK forwarding fees. See our customs guide.
