Minimalist's D2C Skincare lead drops 6.6 percentage points to 70.7%, with Google AI Mode showing it at only 54% while all three engines still agree it leads the category. Minimalist remains the D2C Skincare category leader with 70.7% citation share, but fell 6.6 percentage points from the previous edition's 77.3%, the largest single-edition absolute decline for this brand in the current tracking window. The runner-up is The Derma Co at 48%, down 2 percentage points, with Plum rising to 43.3% and holding second position on Google AI Mode at 46%. All three engines agreed Minimalist leads: ChatGPT at 70%, Gemini at 88%, and Google AI Mode at 54%, though the 34 percentage point spread between Gemini and AI Mode readings reveals significant engine-level unevenness. Foxtale was the biggest upward mover among challengers, gaining 3.3 percentage points to 23.3% and climbing one rank to fifth. Over 95 new domains entered the citation pool, spanning dermatology portals, Ayurvedic brands, and multiple Reddit skincare communities.

Minimalist's D2C Skincare lead drops 6.6 percentage points to 70.7%, with Google AI Mode showing it at only 54% while all three engines still agree it leads the category.
The move
Minimalist remains the D2C Skincare category leader with 70.7% citation share, but fell 6.6 percentage points from the previous edition's 77.3%, the largest single-edition absolute decline for this brand in the current tracking window.
The runner-up is The Derma Co at 48%, down 2 percentage points, with Plum rising to 43.3% and holding second position on Google AI Mode at 46%.
All three engines agreed Minimalist leads: ChatGPT at 70%, Gemini at 88%, and Google AI Mode at 54%, though the 34 percentage point spread between Gemini and AI Mode readings reveals significant engine-level unevenness.
Foxtale was the biggest upward mover among challengers, gaining 3.3 percentage points to 23.3% and climbing one rank to fifth.
Over 95 new domains entered the citation pool, spanning dermatology portals, Ayurvedic brands, and multiple Reddit skincare communities.
What it means
Minimalist's 70.7% share places the vertical in the competitive concentration band, and a 6.6 percentage point decline from the previous edition is more significant than routine fluctuation: it represents the leader giving up roughly one in eleven previously held citations, opening measurable space for challengers.
The Google AI Mode reading of 54% for Minimalist is the structural fact that matters most, as it means roughly half of AI Mode skincare queries are citing another brand as the lead recommendation, creating a genuine opportunity for The Derma Co and Plum, both of which hold above 38% citation share on that engine.
The 95-domain expansion of the citation pool is the largest absolute source expansion of any vertical in this edition, and when sources proliferate this rapidly, brand concentration at the top tends to soften in subsequent editions as new citation patterns compete with established ones.
Foxtale's 3.3 percentage point gain, combined with consistent cross-engine presence and neutral-to-positive sentiment, is the kind of incremental structural gain that tends to compound edition-over-edition rather than revert, making it the challenger brand most worth monitoring.
For an operator in D2C skincare, the Google AI Mode gap is the clearest near-term investment signal: the 34 percentage point Gemini-to-AI-Mode spread for the category leader indicates that AI Mode's source pool treats skincare content differently, and editorial placements in AI Mode-preferred domains are likely the most underexploited lever available.
