The rumours are true – The Ordinary has a 23% off sale throughout November. Here are 21 of the best skincare, make-up and haircare products we’re adding to our baskets while we can.

Ever since Canadian-born beauty brand The Ordinary launched in 2016, it’s safe to say we’ve been obsessed. Why? Because every product across its skincare, make-up and haircare range is clear about exactly what’s in it – efficacious ingredients that really work. Factor in its affordable price point and there’s even more reason to love anything from The Ordinary.

Naturally, you can imagine our delight when The Ordinary announced its latest sale, which runs throughout November. The month-long discount is to encourage intentional, slow and conscious consumption, without the pressure of frenzied sale shopping. 

Everything – yes, everything – is included in the 23% off sale. So, where do we start?

Offering a helping hand, we’ve rounded up the products you’ll want to add to your beauty collection immediately. From a cleanser to a salicylic acid mask and rosehip oil, there’s guaranteed to be something in here to treat yourself to – and maybe even treat your friends to while you’re at it.
