About the Promotion

Because it’s more fun than 20%. The 23% discount allows us to apply savings across all our brands for the entire month of November (except November 25th when our stores and websites will be closed).

The 23% discount is available on DECIEM.com and in all standalone DECIEM stores from November 1, 2022, at 9am EST to November 30, 2022 at 11:59 pm EST (excluding November 25, 2022 (Black Friday), when the DECIEM website and stores will be closed).

It is extremely hard for us to meet the demand for bundles, and we didn’t want anyone to miss out through us selling out too quickly. In previous years, we have disappointed our audience by not being able to meet the demand for Black Friday promotions. We wanted to find a fair way to allow as many people as possible to access a saving.

The November Promotion cannot be combined with other promotions, so you will be unable to use your discount code at this time.

We are unable to control the promotions held by our retail partners. We are happy to assist with any regimen or product questions you may have so you may make the most educated and considered decision for your skin.

While anything is possible in the future and we never want to say never, we will be sure to allow enough time for our customers to make considered purchasing decisions that are not based on the fear of selling out.

By making considered decisions, consumers are more likely to purchase items that align better with their needs without excessive spending or the accumulation of unnecessary items.

It is absolutely not our intention to make anyone feel badly about their purchases. We simply hope to challenge the concept of Black Friday while promoting educated purchasing.

Yes, you can receive personalised product recommendations through our Regimen Builder. We also have some example regimens and a regimen guide if you’re looking to build your own.

You can also reach out to our Customer Happiness team for a regimen as well. We kindly ask for your patience while our team works through all the Slowvember excitement.

Our Customer Happiness team does not have stock information to share at this time.

We want to be fair to our customers and ensure everyone can take part in our promotion this month.

Further units in excess of 5 per product or 5 per product set may be purchased at their original prices.

Further units in excess of 5 per product or 5 per product set may be purchased at their original price.
