CeraVe is a skincare brand developed in 2005 with dermatologists and backed by L'Oreal. The brand is built around its patented MVE (MultiVesicular Emulsion) Technology, which delivers a controlled release of key ingredients like ceramides throughout the day to help restore and maintain the skin's natural protective barrier.
All CeraVe products contain three essential ceramides (1, 3, and 6-II) that are naturally found in healthy skin. The brand's product line includes cleansers, moisturizers, serums, sunscreens, and targeted treatments for conditions like acne, eczema, and psoriasis. CeraVe products are fragrance-free, non-comedogenic, and accepted by the National Eczema Association, making them suitable for sensitive and compromised skin types.
CeraVe has experienced extraordinary growth in recent years, fueled in large part by dermatologist recommendations and viral popularity on social media platforms. The brand's Moisturizing Cream, Hydrating Facial Cleanser, and PM Facial Moisturizing Lotion are among the most recommended skincare products by board-certified dermatologists in the United States. CeraVe products are widely available at drugstores and online, typically at price points between $10 and $25.
