How do you increase conversion for beauty in the GCC?
Usually not on the product page. Measure the funnel by step and the loss is nearly always at checkout — address entry, payment method, or a delivery estimate the customer did not expect.
Where the drop-off actually is
The single highest-yield change for most stores in this market is showing the delivery date before checkout rather than after. It removes the reason people leave to go and check.
Winning a customer costs money and selling to them again costs almost nothing, and most budgets are spent as though the reverse were true. For a beauty and cosmetics store in the GCC, the answer turns on one thing in particular: Beauty is bought again on a schedule — a serum runs out — so the second purchase is predictable in a way most categories are not.
What is different about the GCC
The GCC is not one market. Payment habits, delivery norms and language expectations differ enough that a single approach underperforms in at least one country.
Payment preference varies by country more than most planning assumes.

Where a mobile app comes into it
A category bought monthly is the strongest case there is for an app: reordering in two taps rather than five.
