Plum gained 9.3 percentage points to reach rank 2 at 52.6%, driven by Gemini (66.7%) and AI Mode (64.4%), while Re'equil dropped 9.4 percentage points to 13.3%.
The move
Minimalist held the lead at 68.2%, up marginally from 67.3% in the previous edition, ranking first on ChatGPT (68.9%) and Gemini (80%) while falling to rank 2 on AI Mode (55.6%) behind Plum.
Plum was the biggest upward mover, gaining 9.3 percentage points to 52.6% and rising from rank 3 to rank 2; the gains are concentrated in Gemini (66.7%, rank 2) and AI Mode (64.4%, rank 1), while ChatGPT kept Plum at rank 4 at only 26.7%, indicating a Gemini and AI Mode-specific citation shift rather than a broad move.
Re'equil was the biggest downward mover, losing 9.4 percentage points to 13.3%; its negative sentiment share also rose to 11%, and both ChatGPT (4.4%, rank 9) and AI Mode (2.2%, rank 9) nearly ceased citing it while Gemini still cites it at 33.3%.
Healthline.com entered the source pool this edition, a high-authority general health domain that directly shapes citation coverage for D2C skincare brands.
What it means
The vertical is competitive with the leader at 68.2% and no brand approaching near-lock territory, meaning citation share here is genuinely contestable.
Plum's engine-specific pattern is the most operationally relevant finding: leading on AI Mode (64.4%, rank 1) and ranking second on Gemini (66.7%) while ranking 4th on ChatGPT (26.7%) shows that ChatGPT draws on a materially different source model for this category, and Plum has not established equivalent coverage there.
Re'equil's simultaneous drop in citation share on ChatGPT and AI Mode alongside rising negative sentiment (11%) suggests a content quality problem rather than sampling variance; the combination of fewer citations and more negative framing is a pattern that tends to persist until the underlying coverage changes.
Healthline.com entering the source pool is a structural lever for this category: it is a high-authority domain whose skincare coverage directly influences AI citation behavior, and brands not featured there are missing a primary source.
The actionable takeaway for non-top-3 brands is that AI Mode and Gemini are the engines most responsive to movement in this vertical based on Plum's trajectory, making those engines the primary optimization targets.
