Memos: notes, behind the scenes and fleeting moments

Slowvember is back in 2024! In November, Deciem, the parent company of The Ordinary (which all the skincare addicts know very well!), wants to encourage you to shop calmly, without rushing. No promotions just on Black Friday (or on Black Friday week).
