1. A product dispensing system, comprising:
a reusable product dispenser comprising:
a housing defining a longitudinal axis;
a base coupled to a proximal portion of the housing and configured to rotate about the longitudinal axis in a first direction and a second direction; and
a cylindrical shaft disposed within the housing and operably coupled to the base,
wherein rotation of the base about the longitudinal axis causes rotation of the cylindrical shaft about the longitudinal axis relative to the housing; and
a disposable product cartridge configured to removably couple to the reusable product dispenser, the disposable product cartridge comprising:
a container configured to receive a product therein; and
a plunger disposed within the container, wherein rotation of the base about the longitudinal axis translates the plunger along the longitudinal axis relative to the container.
