Holland & Barrett beauty advent calendar 2026: 28 products worth £266 for £60, Weleda included

The open doors of the Holland & Barrett 2026 beauty advent calendar with Q+A, Cetaphil and Weleda products inside

Holland & Barrett’s 2026 Beauty Advent Calendar costs £60 for 25 doors and 28 products, including 18 full sizes, with a stated worth of over £266. The headline names are Weleda Skin Food, Antipodes, Cetaphil, Dr Organic and Q+A, and the calendar is on sale now on hollandandbarrett.com.

That puts it in the same budget league as the supermarket calendars that have been flying off the shelves this autumn, with a wellness twist only H&B can offer: there are supplements behind two of the doors. Here is the full list, our maths and who it suits.

A high-street calendar with a wellness angle

Holland & Barrett describes its calendar as “25 days of beauty and wellness favourites”, mixing skincare, haircare, body care and a few self-care extras. The retailer’s help centre published the full line-up on 9 September 2026, so there is no mystery left: if you prefer surprises, skip the next section.

Source: Holland & Barrett help centre (list published on 9 September 2026, checked on 21 October 2026). The product page describes a few items differently (an OGX Argan Oil Shampoo, an Aveeno Skin Relief Body Oil), so a handful of doors may vary from the list above.

What we think

Let us start with the price. At £60 for 28 products, you are paying about £2.14 a product, or £2.40 a door. That is excellent for a calendar where most of the products are full size: 18 of the 28, according to Holland & Barrett, including genuinely useful sizes such as the 250ml Weleda Skin Food Body Lotion, the 300ml Faith In Nature hair mask and the 150ml Super Facialist toner.

The stated worth of over £266 is the retailer’s own figure, based on its usual prices, so treat it as a guide rather than a saving: you would never buy all 28 at once. What matters more is whether you will use them, and here the mix is practical rather than glamorous. Think cleansers, body butters, a rosehip oil, a vitamin C serum from Antipodes and two well-loved Weleda Skin Food products, rather than luxury make-up.

The one quirk is the supplements. Two doors hold Holland & Barrett’s own Biotin and Bovine Collagen tablets, which will delight some fans of the brand and leave others cold, and the collagen is not suitable for vegetarians. There is also a spa headband, which is nice to have but hardly a treat. Overall, it is a calendar built for people who shop at H&B already and want to restock their bathroom cabinet with a few discoveries thrown in.

Who is it for?

It will suit you if you like natural and pharmacy skincare (Weleda, Dr Organic, Cetaphil, UpCircle) and want a lot of full sizes for your money. It is a great one to share or split into stocking fillers. If instead you want prestige beauty and make-up, the LOOKFANTASTIC Beauty Advent Calendar has 27 products with names such as Medik8, LANEIGE and Benefit, for a higher price.

Still comparing? Our guide to the best beauty advent calendars in the UK rounds up the big names, and you can see what the Clinique advent calendar 2026 and the Kiehl’s advent calendar 2026 offer at the premium end. For a budget alternative, the Aldi advent calendars 2026 include a £19.99 Lacura beauty countdown.
