About the Promotion
Because it's more exciting than 20% The 23% discount lets us offer savings across all our brands for the entire month of November (except November 29, when our stores and website will be closed).
The 23% discount is available on DECIEM.com from November 1, 2024, 9:00 am EST, to December 6, 2024, 11:59 pm EST and at all standalone DECIEM stores during store hours (excluding November 29, 2024, when our website and stores will be closed for Black Friday).
“Black Friday” is occurring especially late this year, meaning that customers would only have one extra day after to shop slowly. We have therefore made a decision to extend our Slowvember promotion to offer extra time for our customers to plan and shop with consideration.
No, the Slowvember promotion cannot be combined with other offers unless stated otherwise, so discount codes won't apply during this time.
We can't control the promotions set by our retail partners. However, we’re here to help with any questions about products or regimens so you can make the best choice for your skin.
It encourages more thoughtful purchasing, helping customers choose products that truly meet their needs without overspending or buying unnecessary items.
Not at all. We simply hope to challenge the Black Friday frenzy while encouraging informed, mindful buying—not to make anyone feel bad about their choices.
Yes! You can get personalized recommendations through our Regimen Builder. We also offer a beginner’s guide or regimen guide if you'd like to create your own. Alternatively, you can reach out to our Customer Happiness team for help with a regimen. Please bear with us as we manage the excitement of Slowvember.
