A full-stack skincare e-commerce and consultation booking platform where customers browse products, purchase skincare packages, and book expert consultations — with automated email workflows and an admin inventory dashboard.
Skincare brands need more than a product catalog — customers want personalized consultation access and seamless purchasing in one place, while admins need inventory tracking and automated customer communication.
