The Ordinary has launched its annual Slowvember sale, providing beauty enthusiasts with a full month of discounts on its acclaimed affordable skincare range. Throughout November, the brand is offering 23 per cent off sitewide, making their already budget-friendly formulas even more accessible.
Best Slowvember Deals Worth Shopping
Beauty experts from IndyBest have tested numerous products from The Ordinary's extensive lineup and compiled their top recommendations for the sale. The age support set, normally priced at £29.50, now costs just £22.71. This trio combines peptides, hyaluronic acid and phytoceramides to target fine lines and wrinkles, saving shoppers nearly £15 compared to purchasing items separately.
Another standout is the volufiline 92% + pal-isoleucine 1% serum, reduced from £19.50 to £15.01. Skincare expert Sabine Wiesel reported noticeable improvements in under-eye plumpness after just one month of use. The popular glycolic acid 7% exfoliating toner has dropped to £5.93, with beauty writer Lucy Smith noting "instant and dramatic results" after a single application.
Additional Black Friday Savings
While The Ordinary focuses on its Slowvember event, third-party retailers are offering competing discounts during Black Friday. Escentual.com has reduced The Bright Set by 30 per cent to £25.48, representing a 40 per cent saving compared to buying the four products individually. Space NK beats the brand's discount by offering 25 per cent off most Ordinary bestsellers, including the natural moisturising factors + HA moisturiser for £9.60.
John Lewis presents a 30 per cent discount on The Ordinary's haircare range, with the natural moisturising factors + HA for hair now priced at £9.80. Beauty Bay has reduced the multi-active delivery essence to £7.85, while the cult-favourite serum foundation returns at just £4.93 after being discontinued between 2021 and 2025.
Understanding Slowvember Philosophy
Deciem, The Ordinary's parent company, takes a distinctive approach to November sales. Instead of participating in Black Friday madness, the company implements a 24-hour "blackout period" on 28 November. This reflects their belief that Black Friday has become a race to the bottom on pricing without prioritising quality and value.
The brand selected the 23 per cent discount figure specifically because "it's more exciting than 20," according to their official statement. Throughout the month, beauty writers will continue monitoring third-party retailers like Boots, Lookfantastic and Sephora for potentially better deals, as The Ordinary doesn't control pricing at partner stockists.
Dermatologists frequently recommend The Ordinary products, with Dr Anjali Mahto specifically suggesting the retinol 1% formula for acne sufferers in IndyBest's dermatologist-guided routine. The publication's beauty team brings over five years of experience covering Black Friday sales and thoroughly testing The Ordinary's extensive product range, ensuring readers receive genuinely valuable deal recommendations.
