About Cerave
CeraVe has transformed from a niche dermatological brand into a global skincare phenomenon. Founded in 2005 in the USA by Tom Allison and a team of dermatologists, the brand was originally developed as professional-grade products for doctors to recommend to patients with compromised skin barriers. Their core insight was that conditions like acne, eczema, psoriasis and dry skin all share a common factor: damaged skin barrier function. The brand's name tells its scientific story. 'Cera' represents ceramides - the essential lipids that comprise roughly half of the skin barrier - while 'Ve' stands for MVE (MultiVesicular Emulsion) Technology, a patented delivery system that gradually releases ceramide-enriched formula throughout the day. All CeraVe products contain three essential ceramides (1, 3 and 6-II) identical to those found naturally in healthy skin, making them exceptionally effective at barrier repair. Originally part of Valeant Pharmaceuticals, CeraVe was acquired by L'Oréal in 2017 for $1.3 billion, recognising its potential for mainstream success. That investment proved prescient - by 2021, CeraVe had become a $1 billion brand and is now the #1 dermatologist-recommended skincare brand globally. Social media discovery, particularly on TikTok, has made it a Gen Z essential, with their Moisturising Cream and Foaming Cleanser achieving cult status.
