Clarins 24 Day Beauty Advent Calendar 2026
For today’s Calendar Countdown, we’re taking a look at the Clarins 24 Day Beauty Advent Calendar.
As always, these posts are based on my own opinion. I’ll be comparing the calendar with previous versions, other advent calendars on the market, and most importantly, whether I think you’ll get your money’s worth from the products inside.
I don’t buy every calendar I feature because, quite honestly, that would be a huge waste of products! Instead, I’m looking at them from the perspective of someone who loves beauty, has years of retail experience, and thinks advent calendars are a great way to discover new brands and try products you might not otherwise pick up.

How does it compare to last year?
The price has increased from £155 in 2025 to £165 in 2026, so that’s a £10 increase. However, the stated value has also changed, from around £282 last year to over £272 this year.
So, unlike some of the other advent calendars I’ve reviewed this year, this isn’t a case of the value increasing alongside the price. In fact, the stated value is slightly lower despite the £10 price increase.
There are 15 repeated products from last year’s calendar, which is quite a significant amount of crossover when there are only 24 products inside.
That doesn’t necessarily mean the calendar is disappointing, though. Clarins has retained some of its strongest and most recognisable products, including Hydra-Essentiel, Total Eye Lift, the Lip Perfector and several of its skincare staples.
There is also a good selection of body care. So while there are a lot of repeats, the overall balance of the calendar remains quite broad.
Who would I recommend this to?
This would be a good choice for you if you:
- Want a full 24-day beauty countdown.
- Love Clarins skincare.
- Want a mixture of face, body and makeup products.
- Like travel-sized products for holidays and weekends away.
- Want to explore several Clarins ranges.
- Are new to Clarins and want a comprehensive introduction to the brand.
I’d probably skip it if you:
- Bought last year’s Clarins 24-day calendar.
- Don’t like having lots of skincare minis.
- Want a calendar with lots of makeup.
- Prefer multiple beauty brands rather than one-brand calendars.
- Are buying purely because of the RRP saving.
- Don’t think you’ll use body-care products.
My Thoughts
This is where I find myself a little more conflicted.
On one hand, I really like the selection. Clarins has managed to create a calendar that covers a lot of its range, but at what cost?
There are cleansers, toners, moisturisers, masks, eye care, lip products, body care and makeup. You even get products such as the Tonic Body Oil, Body Firming Extra-Firming Cream and Renew-Plus Body Serum alongside the more familiar facial skincare.
I think that makes this a genuinely useful calendar for someone who enjoys Clarins. There are plenty of products here that could become part of a routine rather than simply being used once for the sake of opening the door.
But the £165 price does make me pause.
Unlike the 12-day calendar, which has only gone up £3, this one has increased by £10. And because the stated value has actually dropped slightly compared with last year’s £282 valuation, I don’t think I can ignore that when deciding whether this is good value.
Then there are those 15 repeats.
For a new Clarins customer, I don’t think this matters at all. You’re getting 24 products, plenty of which are Clarins staples, and you’re able to experience a broad range from the brand. But if you bought the 2025 calendar, I’d definitely stop before buying this one.
With 15 repeats, more than half the calendar is familiar. And while I don’t mind brands repeating popular products, particularly when they are bestsellers, I think £165 is enough money that I’d want more newness if I were a returning customer.
I also think this is a calendar where you really need to consider how much Clarins you actually want.
If you love the brand, brilliant. You’re getting a huge selection and plenty of products to work through. But if you’re someone who likes advent calendars because they introduce you to lots of different brands, this could feel quite repetitive.
For me, that’s the key difference between this and some of the huge multi-brand calendars I’ve reviewed. The Clarins calendar isn’t really about discovery across the beauty market; it’s about getting a deep dive into Clarins.
And if that’s what you’re looking for, it works.
Do you get your money’s worth?: Yes
