What videos are talking about

Look beyond the panel for product demonstrations. Dr. Melaxin appears in 1,594 October query matches, below the ten-brand skincare panel’s volume cutoff. One reviewed creator tests its pimple patches. This is a finding from the expanded candidate review, not a claim that the brand launched in October.

Seasonal shopping moves ahead of ingredient growth. The skincare-context Black Friday query rises 827% in normalized share from September. Holiday gift sets and advent calendars rise 137%, and the more specific winter-skincare query rises 253%.

Barrier care has a broader base. Ceramide mentions rise 15% and centella/cica 14%. The winter-skincare report separates explicit cold-weather references from everyday dry-skin and barrier discussion.

PDRN remains large, with modest growth. The query matches 12,860 videos and gains 8% in normalized share. Read the PDRN analysis for brand co-mentions and creator framing. The largest tracked category product queries are Medicube Zero Pore Pad (1,744 videos), Medicube AGE-R Booster Pro (1,494 videos), Dr. Althea 345 Relief Cream (incl. cream mist) (1,207 videos).
