As the holidays approach and the world turns to little rituals of joy to brighten challenging times, The Ordinary returns with a collection designed to make gifting simple, meaningful, and refreshingly stress-free. This year, the brand invites us back into the “joy economy” with six thoughtful, ready-to-gift holiday sets—each crafted to delight skin, soothe routines, and bring a moment of calm to any festive season.
While many beauty labels race into Black Friday frenzy and 11.11 urgency, The Ordinary takes a stand against hyper-consumerism with Slowvember, its annual 23% savings event running from 1 November to 7 December. Instead of flash deals that pressure shoppers into impulse buys, Slowvember encourages intentionality—curating a wishlist, pausing before purchasing, and investing only in what truly serves your skin.
Holiday 2025 Gift Sets: Simple, Thoughtful, Ready to Love
Launching 30 September, the new sets make gifting effortless, pairing the brand’s best-selling essentials with adorable add-ons like reusable pouches, stickers, cotton pads, and keychains.
The Soothing & Barrier Support Serum Set (RM58)
A skin-saving essential perfect for stockings or everyday rescue. This set includes the Soothing & Barrier Support Serum (15ml)—a multi-active barrier-boosting formula that hydrates, soothes redness, and strengthens skin texture. It comes with a reusable pouch + stickers for on-the-go touch-ups.

Slowvember: Shop Intentionally, Not Impulsively
Amid a retail landscape shaped by urgency, countdown timers, and engineered discount cycles, DECIEM continues its mission to reshape consumer behaviour. For the seventh year, Slowvember reminds shoppers to buy thoughtfully—not reactively.
Through its Guide to Spotting a Fake Deal, DECIEM empowers consumers to identify real value, avoid shrinkflation, and navigate misleading “limited editions” or restocks. The message is clear: quality skincare should never require a race against time.
Whether you’re gifting a barrier-repair staple to a loved one or treating yourself during a season of reflection, The Ordinary’s Holiday 2025 sets offer skincare that is simple, honest, and joyfully accessible.
Explore The Ordinary Holiday 2025 Collection and enjoy Slowvember savings at Sephora, in-store and online.
