The Challenge

A premium skincare brand had built strong awareness through influencer partnerships and paid media. Traffic was growing. But conversion had plateaued at 2%—well below their category benchmark of 3.5%.

The core problem: Their theme-based store couldn’t support the conversion infrastructure their premium positioning required. Product education was weak, subscription UX was confusing, and mobile performance was hurting paid media efficiency.
