Elemis Advent Calendar 2026: 25 skincare treats, three full-size products
The Elemis Advent Calendar 2026 lines up 25 products across 25 doors, and for the first time there are three full-size pieces: the Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm 100g, the Pro-Collagen Marine Cream 50ml and the Frangipani Monoi Body Cream 200ml. These are the formulas you would buy year-round, the ones Elemis is genuinely known for.
This is a luxury skincare advent calendar for women who already know Elemis or want to explore it properly, anchored by two Pro-Collagen heroes and the brand’s standout bodycare. The 2026 box swaps last year’s midnight-blue drawers for a green and burgundy keepsake case with a gold wave print, fully recyclable. With more than 30 years of skincare expertise, Elemis built its name on marine biotechnology and the Pro-Collagen line, and these are the same formulas used in its treatment rooms.
What’s inside the 2026 calendar
Twenty-five products, split between 21 face treatments covering cleansing, toning, serum, moisturiser, eye care, exfoliation and overnight care, and 4 body products (Frangipani Monoi Body Cream 200ml, Pro-Collagen Marine Body Cream 50ml, Pro-Collagen Body Cleansing Balm 75ml and Frangipani Monoi Shower Cream 50ml). There is no make-up, no fragrance and no accessories, so this is a focused skincare and bodycare set rather than a beauty pick-and-mix.
The three full-size products are the headline. The Cleansing Balm arrives as a full 100g tube rather than the 20g mini it was last year, and the Frangipani Monoi Body Cream 200ml is new to the calendar entirely, the first full-size bodycare Elemis has put in the box. At full price that 200ml body cream is £32, so it pulls real weight.
What the Elemis calendar is really worth
Elemis states the box is worth over £650, with an official figure of £662. We priced all 25 items individually on Elemis.com and landed at just under £620, which confirms the claim within a few per cent. Against the £225 launch price that is a value of roughly 2.75 times what you pay, about £9 per door. The Pro-Collagen Marine Cream 50ml alone retails for £100, and the Marine Cream and Cleansing Balm full-size together come to £155.

Elemis 2026 vs the 2025 edition
The 2025 box carried 2 full-size products; this year there are 3. The Cleansing Balm jumps from a 20g mini to a full 100g tube, and the Frangipani Monoi Body Cream 200ml is a first full-size bodycare in the calendar. In return, the Pro-Collagen Future Restore Serum, a full 30ml in 2025, drops back to a 5ml mini.
New references this year include the ULTRA SMART Pro-Collagen Complex Serum, the Pro-Collagen Marine Oil, the Soothing Apricot Toner, the Superfood Multi-Mist and the Pro-Collagen Hydra-Gel Eye Masks. The stated value edges down from £690 to £662 despite the extra full-size, because moving the Future Restore Serum from 30ml to 5ml removes a chunk of value. The net read: more full-size products, a slightly lower stated value and a stronger bodycare story.
My verdict on the Elemis 2026 calendar
What wins first is the quality of the three full-size choices. The Marine Cream, the Cleansing Balm and the Frangipani Body Cream are products Elemis is known for, and you get real quantities of each. The 200ml body cream alone covers you through December and into January.
The honest reservation is the miniature count. Of the 25 products, 22 are travel or sample sizes, and several are small: 4ml, 5ml, 15ml. The Pro-Collagen Complex Serum at 4ml gives you only a few applications to judge whether you love it, so for a first-time buyer this can feel like a long teaser. There is also no make-up, fragrance or haircare here, so the box is focused, not diverse, and better for it if skincare is what you are after.
- Not for: anyone who wants make-up, fragrance or haircare in a calendar, or who finds minis unsatisfying.
- Worth it for: existing Elemis fans building their routine, and skincare-focused buyers after a genuine luxury set without the department-store mark-up.
