KORRES Beauty Advent Calendar

KORRES Advent Calendar 2026: 24 Greek skincare and body treats behind the doors

The KORRES Advent Calendar 2026 puts 24 doors in front of you, and behind them sit 23 skincare and body products plus a decorative Christmas tree ornament for the last day. This is a premium natural beauty box at £99, built around the Greek ingredients KORRES has traded on for three decades: probiotic Greek yoghurt, wild rose, black pine, olive, Santorini grape. Six of the products come in full size, the rest in travel and mini formats.

What sets this one apart is the packaging. The 24 boxes are reversible and reassemble into four separate puzzles, telling a Greek winter’s tale called ‘Under the Gold and Silver Sky’. Each box carries a tama, the traditional Greek ex-voto charm that stands for love and good wishes. Gold and silver finishes, festive green accents, embossed detail: this is a gift object that survives past the 24th.

What is inside the KORRES beauty advent calendar 2026?

Twenty-four doors, 23 of them a KORRES product and the last a Christmas tree ornament. The spread leans heavily towards face care: roughly 11 face and skincare products, 8 body and shower, 2 hand creams and 2 haircare. If you came for a full haircare or fragrance run, this is not it, though the Aloe and Dittany shampoo and conditioner cover the basics.

The signature pieces are here in the flesh. The Greek Yoghurt Probiotic Super Serum and Gel-Cream, the Black Pine Primus wrinkle range, the Apothecary Wild Rose cushion cream. The most generous formats are the two 50ml hand creams (Peony Rose and Mandarin Neroli), which arrive full size rather than sampled. Anyone in the household can dip in: there is even a men’s moisturiser (Master Recipe) in the mix.

What the contents are actually worth

KORRES states the calendar holds £289.88 worth of product. Rare thing: our own tally backs it up. Pricing each item on uk.korres.com and prorating by volume, we land at around £316, and I’d defend over £280 as the floor. The brand isn’t inflating the number, which is more than I can say for most beauty calendars I run these figures on.

So the box holds roughly three times its £99 price in product. Divide the £99 across the 23 products and each lands near £4.30, though that flattens a big gap: the six full-size items carry most of the value, the travel formats top it up. The maths only holds if you’d actually buy KORRES at full price, which is the honest test for any calendar like this.

My view on the KORRES Advent Calendar 2026

What convinces first is the honesty of the value. A £99 box that genuinely holds close to £300, checked against the brand’s own site rather than taken on trust, is not the norm in beauty. The Greek range is coherent too: yoghurt, olive, wild rose and black pine sit together as a routine, not a jumble of unrelated samples.

Where it falls short is the format split. Six full-size out of 23 products is on the mean side for a £99 calendar, so a lot of the £316 sits in 40ml travel sizes you’ll get through in a fortnight. And the balance is skincare-heavy: two haircare products and no fragrance means this suits a face-and-body routine, not a full grooming kit. My take: ‘the packaging alone, four puzzles and a tama on every box, does more festive work than half the £150 calendars I’ve opened, but you’re paying for the KORRES name as much as the millilitres.’

KORRES, 30 years of Greek pharmacy skincare

KORRES started as a homeopathic pharmacy in central Athens and turned its natural formulations into a skincare range that now marks 30 years in 2026. The house signature has always been Greek botanicals put to work: probiotic yoghurt for the face, wild rose for radiance, black pine for firmness, olive from Crete for the body.

That’s why this calendar reads as a KORRES object and not a generic beauty box. Nearly every door pulls from a named Greek collection, and the anniversary is stitched into the packaging rather than slapped on a sticker. For KORRES, the countdown is a tour of its own shelves.
