The celeb-adored skincare company, Augustinus Bader, enjoyed the spotlight in several of last year’s advent calendar selections from high-end retailers like Space NK, Liberty, and Cult Beauty, thanks to its coveted products such as The Rich Cream. This season, the brand has unveiled its own limited 12 Days of Bader advent calendar, promising a luxury skincare regimen for enthusiasts.
Priced at £445 but boasting a value of over £530, the Augustinus Bader calendar is stocked with the company’s top-notch, award-winning items. Among the treasures is The Rich Cream—a favourite of A-listers including Victoria Beckham, Kim Kardashian, and Hailey Bieber—with just the 30ml bottle alone valued at £145.
The cream’s unique formula blends vitamin A and a special Trigger Factor Complex, engineered to diminish signs of ageing, including fine lines, wrinkles, and dark spots. Other gems in the calendar include the 100ml Body Cream and 10ml Face Oil, priced at £76 and £73 respectively, according to the Mirror.

Another celeb-approved pick inside the calendar is The Serum, which Molly-Mae Hague recently revealed is “one of my favourite products from Augustinus Bader”. This deeply moisturising cream is loaded with skincare essentials that boost cellular reproduction, healing your skin and enhancing your complexion faster. The Love Islander added: “The whole Augustinus Bader skincare line is just insane”
Then there’s The Tinted Balm – a first-of-its-kind collaboration with film director Sofia Coppola. Made with shea butter, the tinted, non-sticky balm offers a wash of colour and relieves dry lips. Natural plumping agents lock in moisture, with 92 per cent of trial participants agreeing lips looked softer, smoother and plumper, with plumpness proven to be increased by 15 per cent.

Now, as the products are at a higher price point, this calendar is certainly better suited to people who already know and love the brand, or who want to give their collection a go at a lower price than the RRP. However, there are a couple of calendars that feature Augustinus Bader products this year, while offering a little more variety, such as Liberty’s, which stars a 15ml bottle of The Rich Cream.
Elsewhere, there are more budget-friendly beauty calendars available, including the likes of Lookfantastic with its £100 offering, and ASOS‘ £95 calendar. Cheaper still are the calendars from Revolution, which recently reduced their calendar to under £40, and Boots, whose Macmillan calendar has been slashed from £90 to £44 .
