The Ordinary's 23% off *everything* Black Friday sale is ending soon
The Ordinary does Black Friday differently. On the day of the event, Friday November 29, the entire website shut down to discourage panic buying and unnecessary spending. So as their take on the event, they do things a little unordinary.
Enter: “Slowvember”, an effort to challenge Black Friday’s hyperconsumerism. As part of its 6th annual Slowvember, throughout the whole of November, customers were able to shop products from The Ordinary with a 23% discount online and across free-standing stores worldwide.
You're probably wondering: "Well, November is over". But here's the exciting news! It seems as though the brand is participating in Cyber Monday as the website is currently reduced! The sale is due to end on December 6, so you still have a few days, but if there's something you like the look of we suggest you buy it pronto. Indeed, these sales never come about but once a year.
Cosmo's top picks from The Ordinary's Black Fri...
The Nightly Set
If you're overwhelmed by the sheer number of products available to shop at The Ordinary, these curated gift sets are worth checking out. The Nightly set contains hyaluronic acid, retinal and rose hip seed oil: the perfect trifecta for effective night-time skincare. All you need is a cleanser and moisturiser to top it off. Skincare made simple.
Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA
A simple classic if you want a no-frills moisturiser that works fantastically well. Containing a cocktail of hydrating ingredients like ceramides, glycerine, hyaluronic acid, this works to repair the skin barrier and provide immediate relief for dry skin types.
Retinal 0.2% Emulsion
In our opinion, The Ordinary has nailed it with this retinal formula. The Retinal 0.2% Emulsion is not here to mess around – this serum is a potent player – but we can assure you that it works. Stay loyal to it and it will smooth texture and discolouration while brightening your overall complexion.
Squalane + Amino Acids Lip Balm
It's official: chapped lipped season is here but luckily The Ordinary is on hand with this deeply nourishing salve. It's brimming with amino acids and squalane to provide long-lasting moisture while also acting as a barrier to prevent future dryness. It's an investment your lips will love.
Soothing & Barrier Support Serum
As the name suggests, this product is all about calming inflammation and repairing the skin barrier. Featuring a bunch of exciting ingredient technology including centella asiatica phytotechnologies, vitamin B12, bisabolol, ceramides, and gallic acid derivatives — all of which contribute to less irritated skin.
Azelaic Acid Suspension 10%
If you’re sleeping on azelaic acid, wake up… for your skin’s sake. One of the most underrated skincare ingredients out there, the acid is fantastic for so many skin types, including acne, rosacea, and hyperpigmentation.
Azelaic acid has keratolytic properties, meaning it breaks down keratin in the skin, which speeds up cell turnover, as well as comedolytic and antibacterial properties. This is why it works so well for many skin types and keeps breakouts and congestion at bay.
Lactic Acid 10% + HALactic Acid 10% + HA
Skincare acids are fantastic at exfoliating and giving the skin a radiant complexion, but it’s no secret that some are really harsh if used carelessly. The great news about lactic acid, as is the key ingredient in this product, is that it’s more gentle on the skin but has many benefits. It addresses uneven texture, tone and overall dullness.
Multi-Peptide Lash and Brow Serum
Folks with short, straight lashes that want long, fluttery ones introduce the Multi-Peptide Lash and Brow Serum into your life. It contains 11 active ingredients that help give the appearance of longer, fuller looking hairs in as little as 4 weeks when applied twice a day. With many lash serums on the market nearing the £100 mark, this formula is an absolute steal.
Saccharomyces Ferment 30% Milky Toner
A milky toner is a great addition to any skincare routine, suitable for even the most sensitive skin. The Ordinary's milky toner is a firm favourite for Team Cosmo, delivering some much-needed hydration during the coldest of weather.
Salicylic Acid 2% Masque
Masks are at the top of our BF wishlist this year, and we’ve got our eye on this one from The Ordinary. Designed to target dull, blemish-prone skin, it absorbs impurities with its clay and charcoal formula, leaving your skin soft, refreshed, and radiant.
Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG
TikTok can’t get enough of The Ordinary’s Caffeine Solution and neither can we. If you've been searching for a product to help combat tired-looking eyes, this one’s for you. The water-based serum targets dark circles and puffiness, giving your eyes the refresh they’ve been longing for.
