Key Insights
Key Takeaway
For an active 32-year-old anti-aging buyer, AI recommendations consolidate around two brands - La Roche-Posay and EltaMD - across every model and every prompt. The cross-model consensus is also that this buyer needs TWO sunscreens (face + body), which is unusual cross-category and represents a structural sales opportunity. EltaMD UV Clear owns the face-anti-aging slot and EltaMD UV Sport owns the active-body slot.
Top Brands Summary
La Roche-Posay and EltaMD form the universal-tier duopoly - both mentioned by all four models in multiple prompts. La Roche-Posay Anthelios is the consensus #1 brand ranking pick (ChatGPT P3, Claude P3 indirect, Gemini P3 #2, Perplexity P3 #3). EltaMD owns the active-lifestyle category (UV Sport for body, UV Clear for face). Supergoop, Blue Lizard, Banana Boat, Neutrogena, and CeraVe form a strong second tier. Beauty of Joseon is Claude-only at the top.
