Shopify redesign by industry
Shopify store redesign for skincare brands
Skincare shoppers buy for their own skin: its type, its concerns and how it reacts. They read ingredient lists, compare textures and want to know how a product fits into what they already use. A skincare store needs to support that research while staying careful about what it claims.
This page covers what a Shopify redesign for a skincare brand should focus on, from shopping by concern to ingredient panels, routines and claim wording.

Shop by skin type and concern
Many skincare shoppers start from a need, such as dryness, sensitivity or uneven tone, rather than a product type. Offering routes by concern and skin type alongside the usual product-type collections helps them find relevant products quickly. Filters for skin type and concern only work if each product is tagged consistently, so the redesign should include a data check.
Avoid stretching concern collections to include products that are only loosely related; shoppers notice.
Product information skincare shoppers look for
| Information | Where it works best |
|---|---|
| Full ingredient list | A tab or panel on every product page |
| Key ingredients explained | Short blocks near the description |
| How to use and when | A clear step section, morning or evening |
| Skin types it suits | Near the title, consistent with filters |
| Size and how long it lasts | Beside the price |
| Texture and scent | In the description, described plainly |
Careful claim wording
Skincare product claims are regulated, and advertising rules generally expect claims about effects to be supported by evidence. Words such as 'cures', 'heals' or 'treats' can suggest medicinal effects that cosmetic products cannot claim. A redesign is a good moment to review product copy, keeping descriptions to what the brand can support, such as texture, ingredients, intended use and results stated in the terms of any testing actually carried out.
We flag wording that may need checking; the brand and its regulatory adviser make the final decision.

Showing texture and results honestly
Texture swatches, application videos and close-up product shots help shoppers imagine using a product. Before-and-after images require particular care: they should be genuine, unretouched in ways that affect the result shown, and representative rather than exceptional. Many brands choose to show texture and use rather than results, which is easier to keep accurate.
Reassurance for sensitive skin
Shoppers with sensitive skin look for full ingredient lists, fragrance information and advice on patch testing. Making this easy to find, and keeping the full ingredient list on every product rather than only highlighting a few key ingredients, builds trust with exactly the customers who read most carefully.
Shades and variants
If the range includes tinted products, the shade selection deserves special care: swatches photographed consistently, shade names that describe undertone and depth, and guidance on choosing between neighbouring shades. Where shoppers are often unsure, a short shade guide or comparison image reduces wrong choices. For untinted products, size variants should show the volume and price per size clearly.
Educational content
Articles explaining ingredients, routines or how to choose between products help shoppers and can attract search visitors. They work best when each article links to the relevant products and collections, and when the advice is accurate and avoids medical claims. A redesign can give these articles a clear home and connect them to the shop.
