I know it’s a little bit expected, but I have to note the inclusion of not one, not two, but three ELEMIS Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balms. The original is, of course, included: a beautiful cleansing balm formulated with an impressive cocktail of botanicals like smoothing lavender and chamomile. Warm a scoop of product between your palms, massage into the skin, then gently wipe away with a damp cloth or flannel. This product has long been my favourite cleansing balm – it’s gentle on the eyes, leaves my skin feeling nourished, and injects calm into every evening routine.

You’ll also find the brand’s latest Cleansing Balm release, Black Cherry, behind one of the doors. It’s housed in a chic cherry-red jar – a welcome nod to the cherry-coded trend taking over our IG feeds – and it delivers the same rich, butter-like formula as the original. But it’s formulated with Black Cherry – a fruity and familiar scent which circulates around your bathroom as you cleanse the day away. Such a treat.

Elsewhere, let’s nod to the Elemis Pro Collagen Marina Cream. This Elemis bestseller is a classic in its own right. It has a lightweight, fast-absorbing and deeply hydrating formula that leaves your skin feeling noticeably smoother and plumper within a few weeks of consistent use. Offering up an impressive 24 hours of hydration, it taps up moisture-boosting marine and plant actives including Padina Pavonica, Chlorella and Ginkgo Biloba. Meanwhile the delicate floral scent was designed to soothe your mood as well as you skin. One of our favourites at the GLAMOUR office and an absolute must-have for your skincare routine.

How much is the ELEMIS Advent Calendar 2025 and what is the value?

Are there any surprises in the ELEMIS Advent Calendar 2025?

Yes! ELEMIS has hidden Golden Tickets inside of 15 of their Advent Calendars this year, so if you’re one of the lucky few, you’ll be gifted £1,000 (!) to spend on elemis.com. That’s your skincare routine covered for, like, years.

When is the ELEMIS advent calendar on sale?

The ELEMIS calendar is available now, on the ELEMIS website. At the time of writing this piece, the advent calendar was in stock – but TBH, that’s surprising. Judging by the sales trends we recorded last year, it’ll sell out pretty soon.

Is the ELEMIS advent calendar worth it? GLAMOUR’S review:

Overall, yes, for ELEMIS fans and skincare obsessives, the ELEMIS Advent Calendar is definitely worth it. With 25 days of glow-inducing treats, it’s basically like having your own at-home spa in the lead-up to Christmas; we love the fact that it contains so many Pro-Collagen heroes, radiance-boosting Superfood staples, and indulgent bodycare minis that are perfect for tossing in your handbag or taking on a winter getaway.
