AVANT Skincare Gift Sets for US Buyers: What's Inside, USD Prices, DHL Shipping and Duties

AVANT Skincare is a UK brand, and much of what it puts in front of shoppers this time of year is boxed: festive sets, three-step "ritual" sets, fragrance duos and a scent sampler. US buyers can switch the site to US dollars, and the brand ships to the US by DHL from the UK. This guide sorts the sets and best-known single products by price, lists what is inside each one (with sizes where AVANT gives them), and covers the shipping, duties and return rules that matter more for a gift from overseas. For the brand overall, including ingredients and policies in more depth, see our full AVANT Skincare review.

Skincare gift sets, from $120 to $269

These are the sets AVANT lists with their contents named. Prices are what the US-dollar site showed when we checked. Most sets also display a much higher "regular" figure next to the price; we have left those out, because the set price is what you actually pay.

• Odyssey Beyond: Six Treasures Gift Set ($120): the holiday set, sold on pre-order and listed as "Dispatching early November 2026." AVANT says all six items are full size: R.N.A Radical Firmness Anti-Ageing Serum (30 ml), Ultimate Hyaluronic Acid Resurfacing DUO Moisturiser (50 ml), Daily Dark Circles Defence Niacinamide Eye Cream SPF 30 (15 ml), PHA Delicate Resurfacing & Refining Microfoliant (50 ml), Harmonious Rose Quartz Revitalising & Firming Mask (50 ml) and one Centifolia Rose sheet mask. Each comes in its own small box.
• Ultimate Hydration Day & Night Duo + Signature Bag ($196): Pro-Intense Hyaluronic Acid Illuminating Day Cream, Deluxe Hyaluronic Acid Vivifying Face & Eye Night Cream and a vegan-leather bag. Sizes are not stated.
• Super Anti-Ageing Routine ($239): Collagen Intense Radiance Activator Serum, Ultimate Hyaluronic Acid Resurfacing DUO Moisturiser and Hyaluronic Acid Molecular Boost Eye Cream. No sizes are listed.
• Radiance Ritual Gift Set ($249): a Pro Salicylic Blue Minerals exfoliator, the R.N.A serum and the Pro-Intense day cream. No sizes are listed.
• Overnight Hydration Ritual Gift Set ($259): Bi-Phase Hyaluronic Acid micellar water, the R.N.A serum and the Deluxe night cream. No sizes are listed.
• 3-Step Anti-Ageing Ritual Gift Set ($269): Blue Volcanic Stone Purifying & Antioxidising Cleansing Gel (50 ml), R.N.A Radical Firmness Anti-Ageing Serum (30 ml) and R.N.A Radical Anti-Ageing & Lifting Duo Moisturiser (50 ml), labeled Cleanse, Firm and Hydrate.

The R.N.A serum appears in four of these six sets, so it is the closest thing AVANT has to a signature product. Its listings make firming and anti-ageing claims and cite a 60-person, 28-day trial; those are the brand's claims, the study is not linked, and they are not a promise of results.

Under $150: fragrance, samplers and single best-sellers

Smaller gifts on the site:

• Scent Discovery Collection ($20): samples of AVANT's five fragrances (Ambuscade, Caress, Pure Emerald, Avant Quintessence and Persian Sunset), sold as a way to try them before buying a full bottle.
• Quintessence Duo ($91) and Persian Sunset Duo ($137): fragrance-led duos. The listings we read did not spell out both items with sizes, so check the product page before ordering.
• Fragrances ($137 to $142): Persian Sunset, Ambuscade and Caress at $137, Avant Quintessence at $142. The store data lists an "Original Pack" of 100 ml and a 10 ml travel pack for these.
• Pro-Intense Hyaluronic Acid Illuminating Day Cream ($114): one of the products shown under "Popular Products" across the site, and the day cream in two of the sets above.
• Blue Volcanic Stone Purifying & Antioxidising Cleansing Gel ($110) and R.N.A Radical Firmness Anti-Ageing Serum ($142): the cleanser and serum from the ritual sets, sold on their own.

AVANT also sells try-out-size starter sets bundled with a digital gift card that has its own expiry and single-use terms, so read the listing before treating the card as part of the gift.

Gift cards and how AVANT packs orders

The Digital Gift Card is emailed and, per its terms, is valid for product purchases for one year from the date it was bought. It cannot be redeemed for cash, and any amount above the card's value has to be paid by card. The store lists the denominations in pounds (£10, £25, £50 or £100), so the dollar value your recipient sees will depend on the exchange rate on the day.

On presentation: the FAQ says, "At present we do not provide gift wrapping," and we found no gift-message option. The Odyssey set is the one item designed to arrive gift-ready, with each product in its own box. For everything else, plan to wrap it yourself or ship it to your own address first.

Shipping to the US, duties and holiday timing

AVANT's shipping policy lists DHL Express Tracked to the US at $14.99, free on orders over $150, with delivery in 1 to 3 working days. Orders placed by 12 p.m. UK time on a weekday ship the same day, and later orders ship within 24 hours. A few details are worth checking at checkout:

• Duties: the policy says there are "no import duties or taxes at checkout or upon delivery" because AVANT covers them upfront.
• Transit time conflict: some product pages give the US DHL time as 2 to 5 working days rather than 1 to 3, so build in the longer estimate.
• Remote areas: a surcharge applies, listed as $10.44 in one policy and $25 on another page.
• Pre-orders: the Odyssey set was listed as dispatching in early November 2026, and the site does not say how orders mixing it with in-stock items are shipped.

AVANT does not publish a Christmas order deadline. Ordering by early December leaves a margin, but that is our estimate, not a brand cutoff.

Returns: why gifts need extra care

AVANT's return policy applies to everyone, including US customers. You have 14 days to notify AVANT in writing (through the contact page, chat or email), then a further 15 days to get the item back to the UK. Items must be unopened, unused and in "pristine condition" in their original packaging, and you pay return postage for anything unwanted. AVANT aims to refund within five working days of receiving the return. The policy does not mention gift sets or gift returns separately.

In practice, that means a set the recipient opens and does not like cannot go back, and the 14-day notice window can close before a holiday gift is even unwrapped. If you are unsure, the $20 scent sampler or a digital gift card is the safer choice. Any working offers we find are listed on our AVANT Skincare coupons page.

Frequently asked questions

Will a US recipient pay customs on an AVANT gift set?

The shipping policy says no duties or taxes are charged at checkout or on delivery, because AVANT pays them upfront. Check the total at checkout before you pay.

Are the products in AVANT gift sets full size?

It depends on the set. AVANT says everything in the Odyssey Beyond set is full size, and the 3-Step Anti-Ageing Ritual lists 50 ml and 30 ml sizes. Several other sets do not list sizes at all, and the starter sets use try-out sizes.

Does AVANT gift wrap orders?

Not at the time of writing. The FAQ says gift wrapping is not offered yet, though the brand says it plans to add it.

The bottom line

AVANT's best-value gifts are the ones with a clear product list: the full-size Odyssey set if it ships in time, or a three-step ritual set if you know the recipient's skin preferences. Free shipping starts at $150 and duties are covered, but returns are limited to unopened items sent back to the UK at your cost, and there is no gift wrap. Choose a set whose contents you have read, order early, and keep it sealed until you are sure.
