ELEMIS’ Guide to the Best Skincare Stocking Fillers

We sell a Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm every 10 seconds – so chances are, there’s someone on your list who’d be delighted to feel the weight of the original ‘spa in a jar’ in their stocking. Widely considered the best cleansing balm out there (just ask the beauty eds) and suitable for all ages and skin types, it hits all the criteria for a luxury stocking filler. Exquisite texture, essential oils and our signature powerhouse ingredients make it a gift that’ll elevate their everyday routine. You can’t go wrong with this one.

Editors’ pick: “I’ve emptied out my Original Cleansing Balm many times over, so this Christmas I’ll be adding one of the other aromatics to my wish list. The fruity Black Cherry edition brings in notes of almond and vanilla – lovely in winter.” – Elisse, Senior Writer

The definition of a little luxury, our travel size range is perfect for last-minute stocking fillers and Secret Santa gifts. We stock many of your ELEMIS favourites in travel size, from our iconic Pro-Collagen Marine Cream to cleansers, serums and more – ideal whether they need some pocket-size products for a trip away or they just love experimenting with new skincare. And if you’re already a keen ELEMIS shopper, you’ll know we often include free gifts with purchase – we won’t tell if you slip some of those into their stocking.

Editors’ pick: “Our travel-size Superfood Midnight Facial makes the perfect pint-sized present for a stocking – slather it on on Christmas night and wake to glow-giving hydration in the morning.” – Cassie, Midweight Writer

Who doesn’t want a luxe bath or shower product to look forward to using through January? Allow us to point you in the direction of our Bath & Shower range. Go all-out with a high-performance option like our Pro-Collagen Body Cleansing Balm, or try our aromatic Frangipani Monoi shower cream. And if you’re shopping for an exercise enthusiast, our Muscle Relief products will make recovery that little bit more relaxing.

Editors’ pick: “I wouldn’t say no to a Pro-Collagen Body Cleansing Balm in my stocking. As well as excellent hydrating benefits, it’s got the same signature scent as our facial Cleansing Balm, so you get the spa aroma through the steam of the shower.” – Jen, Lead Copywriter

If you’re shopping for someone who knows exactly what they want, a skincare serum makes for a small but mighty beauty stocking filler. The ELEMIS range combines serious skincare science with clinically proven results – and crucially for a luxurious stocking filler, our textures are a pleasure to use (no stickiness) and sit beautifully under makeup (no pilling). Try our latest innovation – Pro-Collagen Future Restore Eye Serum – for a welcome firming, brightening boost during the year’s darkest months. And if you’re looking for more of a ‘tree present’, our Christmas Gifts For Her guide is the place to go.

Editors’ pick: “I’d be extremely happy to unwrap a Pro-Collagen Future Restore Serum. No better feeling than getting what you actually want.” – Elisse, Senior Writer

If you’re in a region that’s cold and dark at this time of year, bringing a nourishing oil into their routine can be a game changer – an added step for their winter skincare routine that helps protect against the dehydrating effects of cold winds and central heating. Our facial oils, with their teardrop-shaped bottles, make for a lovely stocking filler that creates an added step to their winter skincare routine – try our Superfood Facial Oil for vitamin-enriched barrier support, or pick from our range of body oils.

Editors’ pick: “If you haven’t tried our Nourishing Omega-Rich Cleansing Oil yet, you’re missing a trick. It’s packed with natural oils that make removing makeup a dream, especially in winter.” – Felicity, Senior Writer

Shopping for men’s stocking fillers can be notoriously tricky – so if you’ve exhausted your options for socks, turn to our men’s skincare range for inspiration. We keep it tightly edited with a focus on simple routines – shave, cleanse, exfoliate, moisturise. But really, the whole ELEMIS range is suitable for men’s skin – so if he’s been stealing your favourites, now’s the time to stock up his side of the bathroom shelf. And if you need ideas beyond his stocking, explore our Christmas Gifts For Him.

Editors’ pick: “If you want to ease him into a skincare upgrade, I’d recommend our Dynamic Resurfacing Facial Wash. Looks like a gel wash, but uses enzymatic technology to bring back glow.” – Katie, Head of Editorial

Whatever makes it into their stocking, a touch of ELEMIS luxury will make the unwrapping feel that bit more special. Check out our ELEMIS Christmas Gift Guide for more ideas for everyone on your list.
