The Ordinary has launched its annual Slowvember sale, offering customers 23% discount across its entire range throughout November 2025. The affordable skincare brand, known for its effective, budget-friendly products, is making its popular formulations even more accessible during this month-long event.
Best Slowvember Deals From The Ordinary
Beauty experts from IndyBest have tested and curated their top picks from The Ordinary's Slowvember sale. Most products remain under £20, with many costing less than £10, making premium skincare accessible to all budgets.
The Age Support Set has been reduced from £29.50 to £22.71, combining peptides for plumping, hyaluronic acid for fullness and phytoceramides to combat dryness. Buying these three items separately would cost nearly £41, representing a saving of over £15.
Helen Wilson-Beevers, beauty expert at IndyBest, praised the phytoceramides moisturiser, noting it delivered "a fresh-skin finish and was suitably impressed by the moisturising results."
The newly launched Volufiline 92% + Pal-Isoleucine 1% serum is available for £15.01, down from £19.50. Skincare expert Sabine Wiesel reported that after one month of use, her "under-eyes started to look plumper, with shadows less noticeable."
Black Friday Deals Available Now
While The Ordinary focuses on its Slowvember promotion, several retailers are offering additional discounts on the brand's products during their Black Friday sales.
Escentual has reduced The Bright Set by 30%, bringing the price down to £25.48. The set contains four products worth £42.30 when purchased separately, representing a 40% saving. The collection includes a squalane oil cleanser, vitamin C formulation, caffeine serum and glycolic exfoliator.
Beauty Bay is offering 25% off The Ordinary's Multi-Active Delivery Essence, reducing it to £7.85. This formula prepares skin to enhance the performance of other skincare products and received positive feedback for improving skin barrier health.
John Lewis has discounted The Ordinary's Natural Moisturising Factors + HA for Hair by 30%, now priced at £9.80. Editor Samuel Mathewson tested the scalp serum and described how his "scalp felt soothed, cooled and moisturised straight away" after application.
What Makes Slowvember Different?
The Ordinary's parent company, Deciem, takes a unique approach to November sales. Rather than participating in Black Friday madness, the company implements a 24-hour "blackout period" on November 28, encouraging thoughtful purchasing rather than impulse buying driven by extreme discounts.
The brand selected the 23% discount figure specifically because "it's more exciting than 20," according to their official statement. This reflects The Ordinary's commitment to offering value while maintaining product quality throughout the year.
Third-party retailers including Boots, Lookfantastic and Sephora may offer additional discounts beyond the brand's official sale prices, as The Ordinary doesn't control pricing at external stockists.
Dermatologists frequently recommend The Ordinary products, with Dr Anjali Mahto specifically suggesting the brand's retinol 1% formula for acne sufferers in IndyBest's dermatologist routine guide.
