Kiehl’s advent calendar 2026: Ultra Facial Cream and Creamy Eye Treatment behind 24 doors for £119

Kiehl’s has put its bestsellers behind 24 doors again. The 24 Days of Kiehl’s Advent Calendar costs £119 on the brand’s UK site, Kiehl’s says it is worth £237, and inside you get Ultra Facial Cream (28ml), Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado (14ml), a retinol serum and a 75ml Creme de Corps. Kiehl’s counts three full sizes, three travel sizes and 18 minis in all.

It is one of the more affordable premium skincare calendars this year, and the 2026 box is illustrated by New York and London artist Jordan Robertson. If you only want the star moisturiser, LOOKFANTASTIC’s Kiehl’s Cleanse, Tone and Hydrate Gift Set puts a full 50ml Ultra Facial Cream in a £35 trio. Here is the full list and what we make of the value.

A New York Christmas, drawn by Jordan Robertson

Kiehl’s was founded in New York in 1851, and this year’s limited edition design leans into it. Jordan Robertson’s illustrations show “ordinary” life in the city at Christmas through the eyes of a local, with the brand’s familiar dog motifs and a bright, playful palette. Behind the two front doors sit 24 small numbered boxes rather than drawers, which means each product can be re-gifted as a stocking filler.

The calendar went on sale in early September, and on 20 October 2026 it is still listed at £119 on Kiehl’s UK site.

What we think of the value

The headline numbers are fair: £119 for a stated worth of £237 is roughly half price, by Kiehl’s own figures. The best doors are the ones you will actually use up. A 28ml Ultra Facial Cream is a proper few weeks of moisturiser, the 14ml Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado (which Kiehl’s says is the UK’s number one prestige eye treatment, citing Circana data for 2025) is a generous size, and the 10ml retinol micro-dose serum is a low-risk way to try the brand’s retinol. The three 75ml toners and the face wash are useful bathroom-shelf sizes too.

The weak spots are the tiny ones. The 4ml serums, the 3ml eye zone treatment, the 1.5ml Musk Oil and the 5ml shampoo and conditioner are samples rather than products, and the shampoo and conditioner are realistically one wash each. If you mainly want the Ultra Facial hero, there is a simpler route: LOOKFANTASTIC sells the Kiehl’s Cleanse, Tone and Hydrate Gift Set for £35 (price on 20 October 2026), with a full 50ml Ultra Facial Cream, a 75ml Calendula Toner and a 30ml Ultra Barrier Cleanser.

Who is it for?

It will suit Kiehl’s fans who want to try the wider range, anyone building a simple skincare routine from scratch, and gift buyers who like the idea of 24 individually boxed treats. If instead you want make-up behind the doors, or more full sizes for your money, a broader beauty calendar is a better fit. We have not tested the products ourselves.
