There is something wonderfully indulgent about counting down to Christmas and, this year, GATINEAU invites you to make each day a moment of Parisian beauty. Our 12 Days of Christmas Advent Calendar is a beautifully curated countdown, with every door revealing a carefully chosen discovery from the world of GATINEAU.
Six full-size heroes and six deluxe minis come together in a luxurious collection spanning advanced scientific skincare, treatment-inspired favourites and much-loved GATINEAU classics, offering a new reason to indulge as Christmas draws closer. Here is just a glimpse of the carefully curated beauty treasures within with plenty more waiting to be discovered as each door is opened.
We begin with two full-size winter skin heroes: the Vitamin C Radiance Enhancing Serum and Radiance Enhancing Gommage. As winter brings biting temperatures outdoors and dry, heated air indoors, skin can lose the comfort, softness and vitality of its summer glow. Each hero offers its own considered approach to keeping the complexion smooth, supple and beautifully revitalised throughout the colder months.
At the heart of every GATINEAU serum is an intelligent approach to skincare: a concentrated dose of targeted actives, designed to work with the skin and address a specific concern with precision. The Vitamin C Radiance Enhancing Serum brings this expertise to tired-looking complexions, combining Pure Vitamin C and Watercress Extract to help support collagen and promote a brighter, more even-looking complexion.
Hyaluronic Acid and Squalane replenish precious moisture, helping to leave skin feeling soft, supple and beautifully conditioned. Used daily, this elegant, concentrated formula brings a touch of renewed vitality to the complexion, helping it look rested, smooth and energised.
Then comes a true GATINEAU classic. The Radiance Enhancing Gommage has been a staple of salon facials for decades and is a beautiful example of GATINEAU’s pioneering approach to renewing the skin. Long before exfoliation became a modern skincare obsession, we were refining the art of renewal in the treatment room, developing game-changing formulas designed to reveal smoother, more refined skin.
Unlike traditional exfoliators, it contains no abrasive granules; instead, a blend of Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs) gently dissolves the bonds between dead surface skin cells, helping to release them without the need for physical scrubbing. Used twice weekly, this professional-inspired treatment continues GATINEAU’s decades-long heritage of intelligent exfoliation, leaving skin feeling smoother, fresher and beautifully renewed.
And the surprises continue with a GATINEAU customer favourite: our award-winning Golden Glow Gradual Tan. Designed to keep that beautiful, sun-kissed look alive throughout the winter months, its effortless, buildable formula allows you to tailor your glow to suit your skin tone, from a subtle veil of warmth to a deeper golden finish. With no tell-tale tanning scent and no orange cast, it is beautifully easy to use and wonderfully forgiving, making a natural-looking tan feel effortless, whatever your skin type. Perfect for adding a touch of golden warmth before slipping into your favourite party dress, it keeps skin looking beautifully sun-kissed throughout the festive season.
Next comes a little targeted luxury for the lips. The Defi Liftᵀᴹ Peptide Lip Treatment harnesses advanced peptide technology to help support collagen, visibly plumping and smoothing the appearance of the lips. Its glossy, balm-like texture melts effortlessly over the lips, leaving them beautifully conditioned with a lustrous sheen, perfect worn alone for a polished, healthy-looking finish or layered over matte lipstick to bring back a touch of glow and shine.
And for the hands, another thoughtful full-size discovery awaits. Winter can take its toll on hands, leaving them feeling dry, delicate and lacking their natural suppleness. The Collagene Expert Restore & Protect Hand Cream combines collagen with skin-identical hydrating and nourishing actives to replenish moisture and help restore the smoothness and natural spring of the hands. Its comforting texture leaves hands feeling softer, smoother and beautifully conditioned, bringing a little age-defying care to an area that is so often overlooked.
Two beautifully targeted treatments, proving that the smallest details can make the most beautiful difference with GATINEAU’s treatment-room expertise, refined through skincare science and a distinctly Parisian sense of beauty.
