The Ordinary is all about simplification — each product the brand offers delivers you the key ingredient you want, minus the fuss (and markup). So, too, goes the company’s approach to sales: Skeptical of flash sales, it’s having a 23%-off sale all month long to instead celebrate slow shopping, because good skin care decisions take time.
To help you out, we’ve scoured the selection and curated 12 of our favorite products to incorporate into your routine. Skip the Black Friday rush — read on for our faves below, then shop the rest at The Ordinary before the sale is over.
