About Slowvember

Slowvember is a month-long promotion offering 23% off all products from The Ordinary, NIOD, and LOopha. It’s designed to encourage more thoughtful purchasing by giving customers time to shop without the pressure of a traditional Black Friday sale.

The promotion starts on November 1, 2025, at 12 AM EST and ends on December 7, 2025, at 11:59 PM EST.

No, a promo code is not required. The discount will be automatically applied at checkout and will show as a strikethrough on the product and product listing pages.

No, the Slowvember promotion cannot be combined with other offers unless stated otherwise, so discount codes won't apply during this time.

Yes! You can get personalized recommendations through our Regimen Builder. We also offer a beginner’s guide or regimen guide if you'd like to create your own. Alternatively, you can reach out to our Customer Happiness team for help with a regimen. Please bear with us as we manage the excitement of Slowvember.

About Stock & Quantity Limits

No, unfortunately, we're unable to accept orders for items that are out of stock.

The promotion is only valid while supplies last during the Promotion Period.

We restock regularly as part of our usual process. While we can't provide precise restock dates, our team is working hard to replenish stock as quickly as possible. Please note that our Customer Happiness team doesn't have specific stock information at this time.

Yes, to ensure fairness, each customer can purchase up to 5 promotionally-priced units per product and/or 5 promotionally-priced units per product set. Any items beyond that can be bought at the original price.

About Orders and Shipping

Yes, all standard shipping rates apply, unless otherwise stated. You can find detailed shipping information in our General FAQ or contact our team via our Contact Page.

We aim to fulfill orders within 3 business days, and occasionally processing may take up to 5 business days due to high order volumes. We're adding extra resources to minimize delays. Shipping times may vary during peak periods, such as product launches, holidays, and promotions. Please visit our General FAQ for more information.

For a successful delivery, please ensure that your delivery address is entered correctly upon checkout. Any parcels returned to the sender due to an incorrect address will be refunded by default.

Alternatively, our team is here to support cancellation requests within the same one-hour window, provided the request falls within our service hours (Monday - Friday, 9 am - 5 pm EST/AEST, 9 am - 5:30 pm GMT).

Unfortunately, we don’t offer price adjustments or exchanges, including for orders made outside of Slowvember. If your order has shipped, you can return the item(s) by following our Return Policy.
