About the Promotion

Because it’s more fun than 20%. The 23% discount allows us to apply savings across all our brands for the entire month of November (except November 24th when our stores and websites will be closed).

The November Promotion is available on DECIEM.com and in all standalone DECIEM stores from November 1, 2023, at 12am EST to November 30, 2023 at 11:59 pm EST (excluding November 24, 2023 (Black Friday), when the DECIEM website and stores will be closed).

As part of the November Promotion CAIS and CAIL are being offered at 50% off instead of 23% off, but it is not a combined discount.

The November Promotion cannot be combined with other promotions unless it is explicitly specified in the terms of that other offer, so you will be unable to use your discount code at this time.

Our retail partners are free to set their own promotions independent of us. We are happy to assist with any regimen or product questions you may have so you may make the most educated and considered decision for your skin.

While anything is possible in the future and we never want to say never, we will be sure to allow enough time for our customers to make considered purchasing decisions that are not based on the fear of selling out.

At DECIEM, we are offering a 23% discount across all products, all month long. We hope to avoid impulse and unnecessary purchasing that is generally associated with Black Friday, influenced by flash-sale promotions containing a select number of products that may not necessarily be right for people. We hope to give customers the luxury of time, encouraging them to research and only buy items which best suit their skincare needs. To find out more about why we’re closed, visit theordinary.com/slowvember

We hope to challenge the concept of Black Friday by promoting educated purchasing. It is not our intention to make anyone feel badly about their shopping, but rather encourage the practice of thoughtful spending on the right skincare products, while still offering a savings to our audience.

Yes, if you don’t know where to start we have A Beginner’s Guide to The Ordinary and a complete Regimen Guide. You can also receive personalized recommendations through our Regimen Builder.

You can also reach out to our Customer Happiness team for a regimen as well. We kindly ask for your patience while our team works through all the Slowvember excitement.
