The annual Slowvember 23% off sale is on, but I was waiting for the free gift promotions to start before placing my order. According to this reddit source, The Ordinary will start offering free gifts with purchase on Nov 8 2pm AEST. You can use this info to plan your purchases for the month. In case the reddit source is removed, see copied image.
Even though the image is meant for the US store, the Slowvember free gift with purchase offers were the same globally in previous years.
Nov 8-14: Free 30ml Moisturiser of Your Choice
The first offer is a free 30ml size moisturiser of your choice. The three types are:
- Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA - IMO this is better for normal to dry skin even though The Ordinary says it's for all skin types. $8.24 for 30ml.
- Natural Moisturizing Factors + Beta Glucan - gel type. The Ordinary says it's for all skin types but those oilier skin types in particular will enjoy the texture. $7.93 for 30ml.
- Natural Moisturizing Factors + PhytoCeramides - extra nourishing for dry skin. $13.17 for 30ml
Nov 15-21: Free 15ml Soothing & Barrier Support Serum With US$25 Spend
This serum usually only sold at 30ml size , I guess 15ml is worth 1/2 of $22.41 which is $11.21. This is useful when your skin is irritated or red. It has 2% niacinamide.
Nov 22-27: Free 15ml Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 (with Ceramides) with US$50 Spend, Free Shipping no Min Spend
The Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 - 15ml is worth $6.12. Hardly worth spending US$50 for. But I guess the secondary free shipping with mo minimum spend is useful for those who want to spend under A$30.
Nov 29 - Dec 7: Free Pouch with US$50 Spend, Free Shipping no Min Spend
Umm, not very useful unless you really like the merch…
The wrestlers get all the fancy ladies, and the clothes, and the fancy creams and lotions. But my life is good.
