Minimalist extends its citation lead to 64.0% share, up 4.7 percentage points from the previous edition, as ChatGPT diverges by ranking The Derma Co first at 64%.
The move
Minimalist held the aggregate lead at 64.0% citation share, up 4.7 percentage points from the previous edition's 59.3%, with Gemini ranking it first at 88% and Google AI Mode at 42%, while ChatGPT placed The Derma Co first at 64%.
The Derma Co ranked second in aggregate at 48.0%, up 2.0 percentage points, and Dot & Key moved to third at 39.3% after a 2.6 percentage point gain and a one-rank improvement.
Kama Ayurveda was the biggest single-edition mover at plus 6.7 percentage points to 16.0%, gaining two ranks to seventh.
Sixty-four new domains entered the citation pool, including reddit.com/r/SkincareAddiction, plumgoodness.com, drsheths.com, and fixderma.com.
What it means
Minimalist's 64.0% share sits in the competitive range, and the engine split between ChatGPT, which prefers The Derma Co, and Gemini plus Google AI Mode, which favor Minimalist, indicates that query framing drives the outcome: dermatologist-validation and clinical-efficacy framing tends to surface The Derma Co on ChatGPT, while broader recommendation and ingredient-transparency framing returns Minimalist from the other two engines.
Kama Ayurveda's 6.7 percentage point gain from the previous edition is significant in direction but modest in absolute terms at a 16.0% base, and given the simultaneous two-rank gain, the most likely explanation is a cluster of newly-entered Ayurvedic and luxury-skincare editorial content rather than a sustained citation trend.
The exceptionally large source-pool expansion of 64 new domains, particularly the Reddit subcommunities and direct brand storefronts such as plumgoodness.com and fixderma.com, suggests AI engines are moving toward first-person testimony and owned-brand pages as citation sources, which structurally benefits brands with strong community presence and well-structured product pages.
For operators in this category, content positioned around clinical evidence and dermatological endorsement will serve The Derma Co's citation share on ChatGPT specifically, while content emphasizing accessible ingredient science and transparency continues to drive Minimalist's dominant share on Gemini and AI Mode.

Geminigemini-3-flashSkincare for Indian skin is centered heavily around **Skinimalism** (fewer, high-performance products), **Barrier-First Care**, and targeted treatments for **Hyperpigmentation**—all optimized for a hot, humid climate plagued by pollution and hard water. Because Indian skin is naturally melanin-rich, it is prone to hyperpigmentation and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) rather than premature wrinkling.
