The Symbiosis London Eternal Starlight Advent Calendar, containing 12 skincare essentials valued at £988 when purchased individually, is available for £109. Shoppers can reduce the price further to £98.10 by entering the discount code STARLIGHT10 at checkout.
What's Inside the Calendar
The calendar features cleansing gel, exfoliator, lip scrub, serum, moisturiser, night treatment, and both eye and face masks. A reviewer who tested the collection noted that every item is genuinely useful, unlike other calendars that often include surplus additions. The calendar provides a comprehensive skincare routine in a single package.
The products strip skincare back to fundamentals, which the reviewer found ideal as a new mother with a hectic schedule. None of the twelve items aggravated delicate skin, allowing for an uncomplicated routine.
Product Highlights and Criticisms
The Rose + AHA In-Depth Detoxifying and Oxygenating Mask, priced at £97 on the Symbiosis London website, requires no rinsing and kept skin feeling supple and hydrated throughout the day. The manufacturer claims it cleanses pores while drawing out impurities and surplus sebum.
However, the Collagen + Isododecane Instant Perfecting Primer failed to impress the reviewer, who disliked its watery consistency and noticed no improvement in skin smoothness. The rose fragrance of certain products was also found off-putting.
Value Assessment
The cleanser and scrub proved effective in clearing the complexion after a hectic city break, while the night treatment and overnight eye serum ensured the reviewer awoke looking revitalised. Products absorbed rapidly without leaving a tacky or oily finish.
The reviewer plans to rotate the Hyaluronic Acid + Shea Butter Ultra-Rich Regenerating Night Treatment with Marks and Spencer's Ultra Peptide Night Cream at £27. While product sizes could be more substantial, they are suitable for travel.
Using the discount code, each item costs approximately £8.18, making the calendar genuine value for money for beauty enthusiasts.
