Susanne Kaufmann Advent Calendar 2026: 25 natural skincare treats, 6 full-size, and a firm lean towards the face

The Susanne Kaufmann Advent Calendar 2026 puts 25 skincare products behind 25 drawers, one a day through December. No make-up, no nail polish, no scented candle to pad the count: this year the Austrian brand has gone 100% skincare, and most of it is for the face. Of the 25 treats, six arrive full-size, and all six are face products, from the Nutrient Serum 30ml to the Face Oil 30ml.

That makes this a calendar for a clean beauty skincare fan, not a general beauty-box shopper. It sits at the luxury end of the aisle, with a brand-stated content value of around £660, and it’s sold online only through susannekaufmann.com.

What’s inside the Susanne Kaufmann skincare advent calendar?

Twenty-five products for 25 drawers, with six full-size. That full-size count is the figure that settles a beauty calendar, and here it’s unusually telling: all six are face care. You get the Nutrient Serum 30ml, the Rejuvenating Eye Cream 15ml, the Enzyme Exfoliator 50ml, the Eye Rescue Serum 10ml, the Lip Balm 3.5g and the Face Oil 30ml. These aren’t sachets dressed up as gifts; they’re the jars and bottles you’d buy anyway.

On the balance between categories, the box is lopsided by design. I count 13 face treats, 5 for body and hands, 5 for bath and shower and 2 for hair. The face gets more than half the doors; haircare gets a 30ml shampoo and a 30ml conditioner, which read as a taster rather than a supply. There’s no make-up and no fragrance at all, so don’t shop this one expecting either.

Against the £380 launch price, the 25 treats work out at £15.20 a drawer: divide the launch price by the 25 doors and that’s where each one lands. On value, the brand states the set is worth around £660, which I’m reporting as the brand’s own figure rather than one I’ve checked bottle by bottle.

The treat-by-treat breakdown sits in the SPOILER tab.

From make-up and nails to pure skincare: how this edition has moved

Last year’s calendar carried make-up and nail care alongside the skincare. The 2026 edition drops both, and the box is all the more face-focused for it. In their place come more oils: the Hayflower Bath Oil and the Marigold Body Oil both join the line-up this time.

The clearest upgrade is the exfoliant. It appeared last year too, but as a travel size; this year the Enzyme Exfoliator returns full-size at 50ml, which is a real step up for a product you’d otherwise meter out. The price has moved as well, from £365 to £380, a modest rise. Same 25 doors, same all-skincare promise, just tipped even further towards the face.

My verdict on the Susanne Kaufmann Advent Calendar 2026

What wins me over is the honesty of the contents. Twenty-five genuine treatments, nothing bought in to fill a drawer, and six of them full-size. The six full-size picks are the ones that turn this from a sampler into a routine: a 30ml serum and a 15ml eye cream last for weeks, and that’s where a calendar earns its keep.

Where it falls down is the balance. Thirteen face treats against two for hair means the box is really a face-care calendar with a few extras, and the two 30ml haircare pieces are discovery sizes rather than a proper trial. The £380 entry ticket is steep, so this suits someone already drawn to clean, natural skincare, not a curious first-timer.

My one-line summary after looking across the range: ‘Susanne Kaufmann doesn’t fill drawers with filler, but it does ask a face-care budget of you.’ At £15.20 a drawer with six full-size face products carrying the value, the arithmetic holds for the right buyer. Natural-skincare devotees will enjoy working through a full face and body routine here; anyone after make-up or fragrance should look elsewhere.

Susanne Kaufmann, the spa that became a skincare brand

Susanne Kaufmann took over her family’s Hotel Post & Spa in Bezau, in the Austrian Vorarlberg, at 23 in 1993. The range grew out of that spa, worked up with pharmacists and dermatologists around alpine plants, and reached the shelves in 2003. Clean, natural luxury was the idea long before the phrase became a marketing staple.

That origin is why this calendar reads the way it does. A brand that built itself on plant-led facial care puts that same face care at the heart of its Christmas box, right down to the full-size serums. The spa DNA shows: this is treatment-led throughout.
