Everyone has a weakness. If yours is luxury skincare, boy, do I have a gift for you. The first-ever Augustinus Bader Advent calendar just dropped, and if you ask me, it's the best beauty Advent calendar of the year. Featuring *12* of the brand's cult-favorite products that glass skin lovers swear by—I'm looking at you, The Rich Cream—the 12 Days of Bader box is the ultimate beauty buy for the holidays. Yes, it's pricey (that $585 price tag is no joke), but as an avid Augustinus Bader fan myself, I'm here to tell you why it's worth every penny and then some.

For starters, it comes with 12 products that cost a pretty penny on their own, so you're basically getting a bargain here—in fact, the box's total value is a whopping $868! Throw in the fun of opening each little box during the countdown to Christmas, and, well, it's a gift that literally keeps on giving. After I get you hip to all the products included in the Advent calendar, though, you might decide to open it up all at once as soon as it touches down at your front door. Look, I'm not judging—as I mentioned, this box not only includes the editor-approved The Rich Cream, which gives my skin the perfect glow, but also The Retinol Serum, which starts working its magic within *seven days* to improve skin texture and reduce the appearance of dark spots and fine lines, per clinical testers. All powered by TFC8, i.e., the brand's signature blend of amino acids, vitamins and molecules naturally found in skin, the products are renowned for their nourishing and anti-aging effects. But these are not all you have to look forward to.
