MERIT Beauty is a textbook example of high-gloss Trust Theatre, wrapping a standard DTC cosmetic catalog in a minimalist antidote narrative. While the technical implementation is clean, the distance between the signal of clinically proven and the substance of zero linked studies results in a high BS score. It is a brand built on curated aesthetic rather than forensic proof.
