Liz Earle 12-day advent calendar: £79, with Cleanse & Polish

Liz Earle’s £79 12 Days of Beauty advent calendar is still in stock, with 100ml Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser and a 75ml Superskin Moisturiser among its contents. On 7 November 2026, the official UK calendar page offers it to buy, while the larger £175 24-day calendar is marked out of stock on the brand’s site.

The smaller version has a stated worth of over £200 and includes the special-edition Mandarin & Nutmeg fragrance in body wash, body cream and hand cream. It is a mix of substantial bottles and smaller skincare sizes, not 12 full-size products.

What is inside the £79 calendar?

The official 12-day listing names these 12 beauty products, plus a pure cotton cloth:

Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser, 100ml.
Cleanse & Glow Transforming Gel Cleanser, 30ml.
Smooth & Glow Exfoliating Tonic, 50ml.
Skin Repair Light Cream, 15ml.

A useful routine, rather than 24 surprises

The Cleanse & Polish cleanser is the familiar starting point. It is designed to be used with a warm cotton cloth, as shown in the brand’s application photograph. The calendar also contains a second cleanser, 2 tonics and both daytime and night-time moisturisers, so there is some overlap if you already have a settled routine.

The Mandarin & Nutmeg body wash and body cream are both 200ml. Those are more substantial than the 15ml Light Cream and exfoliator, and help explain why this is not simply a miniature sampler. We have not tested this calendar or its skincare results ourselves.

What about the 24-day version?

The 24 Days of Liz Earle calendar is listed at £175 with a stated worth of £576.50, but the official site currently says out of stock. That is the brand’s own availability, not a claim about every stockist. There is no confirmed restock date on the page to plan around.

For someone who wants a calendar directly from Liz Earle now, the available £79 version is the practical alternative. At about £6.58 per day, it is still a considered purchase, but it is £96 less upfront than the larger version’s listed price.

What we think

This suits someone who likes botanical-scented skincare and wants body care alongside face products. The 75ml Superskin moisturiser and larger body bottles make it more appealing to an existing fan than a box dominated by tiny samples.

If daily surprises throughout December are the main attraction, 12 doors will not replace a 24-day countdown. Nor should the stated worth tempt you into buying several formulas you would not use. Check the ingredient lists first if you have sensitivities.
