Beauty lovers who pay £89 can get £804 worth of products ‘free’ with the 12 day skincare calendar which includes everything from serum and a cryo-exfoliator to hand spa and night treatments
With plenty of beauty advent calendars hitting the high street, it can be hard to know which are worth the splurge. Whilst many offerings include makeup, haircare, and fragrance, it’s rare to find a festive countdown that’s been specially created for skincare fans.
Now, glow-loving skin enthusiasts can shop the 12 Days of Radiance Advent Calendar from Symbiosis Skincare, and shoppers get £805 worth of freebies with the festive countdown.
The good news doesn’t end there however, as the calendar normally retails for £99 (worth £894) but shoppers can save an additional 10% using the code ADVENT10, bringing the price down to just over £89. That’s 9.9% of the total worth of the advent calendar.
There’s limited stock of the new calendar available and the brand says it’s unlikely to be restocked once it sells out. The carefully curated edit features 12 results-driven products designed to offer radiance and see shoppers through the party season and beyond.
All the products in the Symbiosis advent calendar are cruelty-free and have been dermatologically developed. What’s more, shoppers who have reviewed the item say it ‘stands out’ thanks to its ‘luxurious packaging’ and ‘very nice products.’

As a beauty writer, I’m impressed that there’s a variety of items to use at different times during the festive season. From the Detoxifying & Oxygenating Mask and Ultra-Rich Regenerating Night Treatment to pamper skin during chilled days, through to the Haute Definition Brush and Instant Perfecting Primer which are ideal for use prior to Christmas parties.
Other skincare advent calendars available to shop include Boots’ 24 Days of Skincare advent calendar which retails for £70 but contains products worth £289.
Shoppers have left it rave reviews on the beauty retailer’s website, saying: “Fabulous item, such good value, many full size items.” It contains big names such as K Beauty brand Anua, Byoma, and The Inkey List.
Alternatively, shoppers may wish to consider the Kiehl’s advent calendar which can be purchased exclusively from Selfridges for £120 but is worth £244. It’s suitable for all skin types and includes 24 of the brand’s most popular products.

One happy skincare fan who purchased the calendar enthused: “So many calendars but this one stands out. Luxurious packaging with steady boxes and very nice products. I love luxury skincare. This is perfect for me.”
Another said: “Wow. The calendar has just arrived here in fantastic condition and it looks gorgeous. The products smell fantastic and I am looking forward to trying each one. I am indeed so happy about this calendar that I am thinking about buying a second one for me (as there are 12 doors only -what a great excuse) or to give it away. I can’t wait for Christmas time.”
It’s worth noting that the brand’s highly-rated Collagen & Isododecane Instant Perfecting Primer 30ml retails for £89 when purchased separately, but it’s featured in the advent calendar, meaning shoppers are essentially getting the rest of the items included for free.
Also featured in the festive countdown is the brand’s Hyaluronic Acid + R.N.A. – De-puffing & Dark Circles Relief Eye Serum which retails for £97 when purchased alone.
The item boasts a perfect five out of five star review score on the Symbiosis website, with one beauty lover saying: “I’ve been using this serum under my eye area for a month now and I can’t believe the difference it has made.
They continued: “With sleepless nights and working long hours I wanted something to take away that tired/puffy eye look and this has been a miracle worker. I absolutely love it and would highly recommend.”
Whilst there’s currently no negative reviews of the calendar on the brand’s website, it’s worth noting that it’s only a 12 day countdown, so shoppers who usually opt for a 24 day design may not find it suitable for their needs.
It’s also worth considering that whilst the items in the Symbiosis calendar are suitable for all skin types, shoppers who are quite prescriptive about their skincare routine may find there’s items that aren’t to their taste or that they simply don’t use.
