A strong product is only the beginning of building a successful skincare brand. Customers also need a reason to trust the brand, understand its products, and feel confident making a purchase.
Most Underated had years of experience in skincare manufacturing. However, the brand needed a stronger digital identity and an ecommerce experience that could communicate its expertise directly to customers.
Luscious Leopard helped Most Underated build that foundation through Shopify design and development, SEO, and conversion rate optimisation. The focus was on creating a more credible, customer-focused skincare ecommerce website that could support long-term growth.
The results included 188% higher organic visibility, 143% growth in session duration, and 260% conversion growth, along with a 30% increase in customer retention.

The Challenge: Moving From Manufacturing Expertise to Brand Recognition
Skincare customers often research products before making a purchase. They want to understand ingredients, product benefits, usage instructions, and whether a brand is reliable.
For a business with manufacturing experience, this knowledge can be a strong advantage. But that expertise needs to be communicated through the digital experience in a way that customers can easily understand.
Most Underated needed to establish its own identity in the market. The website had to do more than showcase products. It needed to communicate credibility, support product discovery, and create a clearer connection between the brand and its audience.
This required a combination of design, development, SEO, and conversion-focused improvements. Each element had to support the same goal: creating a more effective ecommerce journey.

Building a Shopify Skincare Store With a Clearer Identity
The Shopify store became the foundation for Most Underated's digital presence.
Luscious Leopard focused on creating an experience that reflected the brand's skincare expertise while making the website easier for customers to explore. The design and development process considered how visitors discover products, understand their benefits, and move towards purchase.
This is where Custom Shopify Development can support a growing skincare brand. A store should be designed around the products, audience, and business goals rather than relying on a generic ecommerce structure.
A cohesive digital identity built to communicate Most Underated's skincare expertise and establish credibility with customers.
Stronger product presentation helping visitors understand ingredients, benefits, and usage with greater clarity and confidence.
SEO built into the store from the beginning to improve organic discoverability and support long-term growth in relevant skincare searches.
Conversion rate optimisation across navigation, product pages, and buying pathways to reduce friction and improve customer action.
A complete customer journey designed to support discovery, trust-building, and purchase from the first visit to checkout and beyond.
For Most Underated, the aim was to build a more cohesive experience across the website. Product presentation, brand communication, and the overall customer journey needed to work together.
A strong beauty ecommerce design approach should balance visual appeal with usability. Customers should be able to appreciate the brand's identity without struggling to find important information or complete their purchase.
The result was a stronger digital foundation that supported both brand building and ecommerce performance.

Strengthening Visibility Through SEO and CRO
A well-designed Shopify store needs to be discoverable. It also needs to turn that traffic into meaningful customer actions.
Luscious Leopard worked on SEO to help Most Underated improve its organic visibility. This created a stronger foundation for customers searching for relevant skincare products and information.
The project also included CRO Services, which focused on improving the experience after visitors reached the website. Conversion rate optimisation can involve reviewing product presentation, navigation, content, calls to action, and other points where customers may lose interest.
01 Improve Organic Visibility
SEO foundations were built to help Most Underated appear in relevant skincare searches and attract customers who were actively looking for its products.
02 Engage Visitors More Effectively
CRO improvements helped create a clearer, more engaging experience so that visitors spent more time exploring the brand and its products.
03 Convert With Greater Confidence
A clearer buying journey with reduced friction helped more visitors move from product discovery to purchase with less hesitation.
These areas are closely connected. Better visibility can bring more visitors to the store, but the website needs to give those visitors a clear reason to continue. Most Underated achieved 188% growth in organic visibility and 143% growth in session duration — showing the value of connecting search visibility with a more engaging ecommerce experience.
For a growing D2C skincare brand, the goal should not be limited to attracting visitors. The website should help those visitors understand the brand and move through the buying journey with greater confidence.
The Result: A Stronger Foundation for Skincare Ecommerce Growth
Most Underated's transformation demonstrates how Shopify development, SEO, and CRO can work together to support a growing skincare business.
The brand's manufacturing experience became part of a more direct digital identity. Instead of relying only on its background as a manufacturer, Most Underated could present its products and expertise through an ecommerce experience built for customers.
The results included:
✅ 260% increase in conversion rate
✅ 188% improvement in organic visibility
✅ 143% increase in session duration
✅ 30% growth in customer retention
These outcomes highlight the importance of looking at ecommerce as a complete customer journey. Design helps communicate the brand. SEO helps people discover it. CRO helps create a clearer path towards purchase, while retention improvements support longer-term relationships.
For skincare businesses, this connection is particularly important. Customers often need time, information, and trust before choosing a product. A well-structured website can support that decision at every stage.
