Because it’s already so affordable, The Ordinary rarely goes on sale. Seriously, it’s a 1-2 times year occurrence and the brand is always excluded from Sephora’s big sales. But The Ordinary sales do happen, you just have to know when and what to shop when you see it. Don’t worry — we’ve got you.

The Ordinary boycotts Black Friday but does a month-long “Slowvember” sale featuring discounts throughout the entire month of November. This is the perfect time to stock up on your favorites. Also, keep an eye on skincare sales at Ulta Beauty and Target. You can often find a good deal that’s a bit under the radar.

The Ordinary is so popular because it has fans of all ages, skin types and tones. Dealing with dry spots on your skin? Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 serum is a must-try for locking in moisture. Have texture and uneven skin tone? Exfoliate with Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution. The Ordinary even hawks anti-aging retinol with the Retinol 1% in Squalane, a less irritating formula for retinol newbies. There’s truly something for everyone. Check out a few of our faves, below to get started.
