Overview

Ella & Jo is a fast-growing Irish skincare brand built on simplicity, education and results-led formulations. As the range has expanded, so has the need to guide new customers through it — gently, confidently and at scale.

Renude partnered with Ella & Jo to deploy a brand-aligned AI Skin Routine. Within three months, the platform was driving meaningful gains in conversion, basket size and email engagement.

The Challenge

As Ella & Jo's product range grew, so did the discovery problem familiar to scaling DTC skincare brands:

  • New customers struggled to choose the right products for their skin
  • Product discovery on-site lacked meaningful personalization
  • Delivering educational content at scale was difficult to do well
  • The brand needed expert-level guidance without expanding the support team

Why Renude

Ella & Jo evaluated Renude on three things that mattered most to them as an education-led brand:

  • The depth of education provided alongside each product recommendation
  • Visual skin analysis to help customers understand their own skin better
  • The proven email opt-in rates Renude was already delivering for partner brands

The Solution

Renude deployed its AI Skin Routine on the Ella & Jo website — a digital skincare expert designed to:

  • Onboard customers quickly through their skin goals and concerns
  • Build a routine matched to real-world skin needs, using Ella & Jo's own range
  • Explain the rationale behind every recommendation in plain, expert language

The technology is built on five years of consumer skin data, validated by Harley Street dermatologists — so the advice on the site mirrors the standard a customer would expect from an in-clinic consultation.

The Partnership

The Ella & Jo x Renude partnership delivered three things at once:

  • Personalized routines for every customer
  • Educational content about ingredients and how the products fit together
  • An engaging on-site journey that drove a 77% email marketing opt-in rate

Within three months, customers engaging with the AI advisor were converting at +57% and spending +73% more per order — turning what was a discovery problem into a clear commercial win.
