There are many reasons why, unfortunately, the brands won't ship to some countries: 1) every country has its own approved ingredients, and the brands don't find it affordable to remove or add ingredients for every single place when they can have one product, and just send it where it's FDA allowed. 2) The custom, and delivery fees can be extremely high in some countries, so the brands don't find it affordable to send a £20 product where they also have to pay a similar amount to get shipped to people. That's why sometimes they shift the fees to the winner of the giveaway. Imagine them having to lose £20 off their pockets for a product, another £20 in fees, for 100 people. 3) And don't forget any tariffs or boycotting from the countries themselves when the leaders don't want to import 'foreigner's' products because they prefer their own markets. There are plenty more reasons, I guess; only one thing to do: find an app that works with influencers in your country.

I completely understand your frustration. It's disheartening when certain brands don't ship to specific countries, especially when you're eager to try their products. Sometimes, it's due to regulatory challenges or high shipping costs. Exploring local influencer platforms or apps that cater to your region might open up new opportunities. Additionally, connecting with fellow skincare enthusiasts in your area could lead to discovering alternative products or brands that are more accessible. Stay positive and keep exploring! 💪🌍​

Unfortunately, I don't know of any other apps besides Picky. Someone mentioned Iris the last few days. Have a look at the conversations by searching Iris on the search bar.

If you can afford it you can use shipping companies to get products from picky
