Key Insights
Key Takeaway
For a 30-year-old woman skincare buyer, AI recommendations consolidate around five brands - La Roche-Posay, CeraVe, EltaMD, The Ordinary, and Beauty of Joseon - regardless of which model she asks. Brands outside that core need either drugstore distribution plus derm cosign (RoC, Neutrogena, Vanicream) or a single hero ingredient story (SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic, Aestura ATOBARRIER) to break through.
Top Brands Summary
La Roche-Posay, CeraVe, and EltaMD form the universal-tier core across all four models. The Ordinary is recommended by all four. Beauty of Joseon and Aestura show as K-beauty bridge brands across Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity. SkinCeuticals is Gemini-only at the top. Paulas Choice is strong in ChatGPT and Gemini brand-ranking prompts but absent from Claude and Perplexity ranked lists.
