Based on previous years, here’s what you can expect for 2025, including likely start dates, the kind of discounts they usually offer, examples of past deals, and important fine print that’s easy to miss.
Expected Black Friday 2025 Start & End Dates
Origins tends to start its Black Friday sale on the Saturday before the long weekend, exclusively at origins.com. In 2025, the sale is expected to begin on Saturday, November 22, which is five days before Thanksgiving.
The sale usually extends through Wednesday, three days after Cyber Monday. This falls on December 4, 2025.
Core Offer: 30% Off Sitewide
The main deal at Origins during Black Friday has been fairly consistent in recent years: 30% off sitewide. This is applied automatically at checkout (no coupon code needed) and it usually applies to most of their full-size products and gift sets. That includes their bestsellers across categories like cleansers, serums, moisturizers, masks, and eye creams.
However, not everything qualifies. The sitewide discount doesn’t apply to non-discountable items. That typically includes eGift cards, certain limited-edition sets, or collaboration products that Origins doesn’t usually discount. Some exclusions are also based on stock availability or special collection rules.
Free Gift With Purchase
Origins also tends to sweeten the deal with a free gift when you spend a minimum amount. In 2024, the offer was a 15-piece set valued at $124 when you spent $100 or more. While it’s not confirmed yet for 2025, it’s reasonable to expect something similar.
This free gift offer tends to run for most, if not all, of the Black Friday sale period, while supplies last. Keep in mind that sample packaging shown online may not always match what you receive, and the contents can vary depending on availability. Also, if you return or cancel part of your order and it brings your total below the $100 minimum, you’ll lose the free gift as well.
Daily Deals and Flash Offers
In addition to the flat 30% off across the site, Origins often runs daily deals during the Black Friday event. These are rotating, limited-time discounts on specific categories or products, and they change from day to day. Last year, some of the daily offers included:
-
50% off select serums
-
50% off select moisturizers
-
50% off select cleansers
These daily deals usually apply only to a handful of products in each category, not the entire category itself. You won’t need a code for these either, but they’re only available while supplies last, so popular items may sell out fast.
If you’re targeting a particular product that’s not covered by the sitewide discount or hoping to score something for half price, it’s worth checking back each day during the sale window. Once a daily deal ends, it usually doesn’t return again until next year.
Examples of Past Sale Items
Looking back at the 2024 sale gives a good idea of what you might see again this year, either as part of the general discount or in daily offers. Some examples from last year include:
-
Plantscription Multi-Powered Youth Serum: Regularly priced around $62, it dropped to $31 during the 50% off serum day.
-
Checks and Balances Frothy Face Wash: Normally $28, but went down to $14 during a daily cleanser deal.
-
GinZing Oil-Free Energy-Boosting Gel Moisturizer: Dropped from $38 to $19 during the moisturizer flash sale.
-
Clear Improvement Active Charcoal Mask: Included in the 30% off sitewide discount, bringing it down from $30 to around $21.
-
Mega-Mushroom Relief & Resilience Soothing Treatment Lotion: Usually excluded from promotions, but was included in one of the daily skincare offers last year.
Some of the more expensive gift sets or jumbo-sized products were also discounted during the event, although those tended to sell out early.
