When it comes to French skincare, there are few brands as renowned as Clarins, regularly praised by beauty aficionados for its top-notch products. And as part of the January sales, I’ve discovered a way to bag £162 worth of their premium products for less than £60.

Debenhams has rolled out a series of post-Christmas markdowns across various categories, including fashion, home, and beauty. One such deal involves a 40% price cut on a Clarins beauty advent calendar – but the actual savings are even more substantial.

Perfect for giving your skincare routine a 2025 makeover, this set is valued at £162. Initially priced at £95, it’s currently available at Debenhams for £57 – a total saving of £105, as reported by The Mirror.

Although it’s too late to use it as a Christmas countdown, it remains an excellent opportunity to stock up on high-quality products at a more budget-friendly price, especially since it’s still full price at £95 on the Clarins website. The 12-day collection includes a variety of full-sized and travel-friendly Clarins favourites, with each product in the calendar averaging out at £4.75 each.

One item, the Beauty Flash Balm 50ml, is worth £38 on its own, while the popular Lip Comfort Oil 01 honey typically sets beauty enthusiasts back by £25, so the set pays for itself in just two products, effectively making the remaining 10 ‘free’.

Customer reviews on the Debenhams website reveal that the Clarins 12-Day beauty advent calendar has earned an impressive 4.7-star rating. One fan raved: “First time ever I have bought a Clarins advent calendar. A mixture of face and body gifts. Really enjoyed opening each box in the morning. I will definitely buy one next year. I am now converted to Clarins skincare.”

Another customer agreed: “My wife loves this product! It has a full-sized beauty flash balm (her favourite) and, along with all the other products, turned out to be a total win for her and me being in her good books.”

However, a third buyer was left disappointed with the length of the advent calendar after expecting 24 days’ worth of treats, saying: “Why 12 days advent has 24. I’m using mine for the twelve days of Xmas! “.

On the other hand, many found it to be great value for money, with another reviewer stating: “Great range, very useful for travelling or taking with me to swimming pool. Nice packing, like always. Bought for myself as a treat, while it was on sale and I also used my reward voucher.”
