Celeb-loved skincare brand Augustinus Bader saw some of their most popular products (hello, The Rich Cream) in several of last year's advent calendar offerings from the likes of Space NK, Liberty and Cult Beauty. This year, the brand has released their own 12 Days of Bader countdown, which will get shoppers a complete premium skincare routine.

Filled with a selection of science-backed skincare staples, the Augustinus Bader calendar retails for £445, but stars more than £530 worth of the brand’s best-selling and award-winning products. Among them is the iconic The Rich Cream, used by the likes of Victoria Beckham, Kim Kardashian and Hailey Bieber, with the featured 30ml bottle being worth £145 alone.

Formulated with multi-tasking vitamin A and a patented Trigger Factor Complex, the hydrating facial moisturiser claims to reduce signs of ageing including the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation. Meanwhile, other products like the 100ml Body Cream and 10ml Face Oil are worth £76 and £73 respectively.

Another celeb-approved pick inside the calendar is The Serum, which Molly-Mae Hague recently revealed is "one of my favourite products from Augustinus Bader". This deeply moisturising cream is loaded with skincare essentials that boost cellular reproduction, healing your skin and enhancing your complexion faster. The Love Islander added: "The whole Augustinus Bader skincare line is just insane",

Then there's The Tinted Balm - a first-of-its-kind collaboration with film director Sofia Coppola . Made with shea butter, the tinted, non-sticky balm offers a wash of colour and relieves dry lips. Natural plumping agents lock in moisture, with 92 per cent of trial participants agreeing lips looked softer, smoother and plumper, with plumpness proven to be increased by 15 per cent.

Here’s everything inside the 12 Days of Bader advent calendar:

The Cream Cleansing Gel (30ml) - £21
The Essence (30ml) - £23
The Tinted Balm in 'Shade 1' (4g) - £33
The Rich Cream (30ml) - £145
The Cream (15ml) - £74
The Face Oil (10ml) - £73
The Eye Patches (3g) - £18
The Body Cream (100ml) - £76
The Retinol Serum (7ml) - around £70
The Cream (3ml)
The Serum (7ml)

Now, as the products are at a higher price point, this calendar is certainly better suited to people who already know and love the brand, or who want to give their collection a go at a lower price than the RRP. However, there are a couple of calendars that feature Augustinus Bader products this year, while offering a little more variety, such as Liberty’s , which stars a 15ml bottle of The Rich Cream. Cult Beauty also featured the cream, but their calendar has since sold out.

Elsewhere, there are more budget-friendly beauty calendars available, including the likes of LookFantastic with their £100 offering, and ASOS’s £95 calendar. Cheaper still are the calendars from Revolution , who recently reduced their calendar to under £40, and Boots, whose Macmillan calendar has been slashed from £90 to £44 .
