Skincare brand CeraVe; it's name derived from ceramides, launched in 2006 as a range developed around three key ceramides, fatty acids and other lipids to help repair and strengthen the skin's natural barrier. The core believe of the brand is that healthy skin is good skin, and they do so by crafting products to replace and add essential ceramides to fortify and protect your skin from irritants and the environment. What are ceramides you might ask? Ceramides are lipids (or fats) found in your skin that make up 50% of your skin's natural barrier. This layer of fats helps keep moisture in your skin, it protects your skin from wind and other elements, it creates a barrier against bacteria, dust, dirt, and other irritants.
This has propelled CeraVe into a cult skincare brand, being the fastest growing skincare brand in the US. It is also the number one recommended brand by dermatologists for dry skin from all around the world. Over time, the range has expanded and ventured into acids, eye creams and body care, while still retaining their promise of containing these essential protective ceramides.
