Slowvember: The Ordinary’s Call to Shop with Intention.
As the world of beauty enters its busiest shopping season, The Ordinary once again takes a thoughtful pause. Marking its seventh year, Slowvember returns as the brand’s ongoing commitment to mindful consumption — a movement that encourages us to slow down, consider what we truly need, and shop with purpose.
Skip the sales frenzy with The Ordinary’s Slowvember. Enjoy 23% off all month while shopping consciously and discovering skincare sets worth taking your time for.
Instead of the frenzy of flash sales and countdown offers, The Ordinary offers something refreshingly simple: 23% off all products throughout November (with an extension till 7 December this year). The idea is to provide more accessibility without pressure, allowing time to research, reflect, and build a skincare routine that genuinely works for you.
Born out of DECIEM’s stance against impulsive shopping, Slowvember stands as a quiet protest against the noise of hyper-consumerism. It encourages customers to see through inflated “deals”, bundles they don’t need, and the illusion of urgency.
This year, as part of the Slowvember celebrations and the holiday season approaching, The Ordinary also presents a line-up of carefully curated sets that make considered—and genuinely useful—gifts for the season. Here are our favourite options, and what we’ll be shopping for this Slowvember.
The Age Support Set
A complete trio designed to target visible signs of ageing across the face and eyes. Featuring the Multi-Peptide + HA Serum, Multi-Peptide Eye Serum, and Natural Moisturizing Factors + PhytoCeramides, this set helps smooth fine lines and crow’s feet, boost elasticity, and restore hydration for firmer, more supple skin.
The Bright Set
This radiance-focused trio helps to refresh dull, uneven skin. With the Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner, Alpha Arbutin 2% + HA, and Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG, it works to gently exfoliate, even tone, and brighten tired eyes—a thoughtful gift for anyone looking to revive their glow this festive season.
Soothing & Barrier Support Serum Keychain Set
For skincare on-the-go, this adorable mini set pairs The Ordinary’s Soothing & Barrier Support Serum with a reusable keychain pouch, complete with complimentary stickers for personalisation. Beyond its playful design, the serum helps repair and strengthen the skin barrier, calming redness and boosting hydration wherever you are.
