Dermatologist-developed skincare with ceramides
30 products in the database · compositions verified against the manufacturer
CeraVe started in 2005 in the United States, created by a group of dermatologists looking for simple formulas that could support the skin barrier. The name joins two central ideas: ceramides and MVE (MultiVesicular Emulsion) technology, a delivery system that releases moisturizing ingredients gradually over several hours.
Most formulas rely on three skin-identical ceramides, paired with hyaluronic acid and niacinamide as recurring actives across the range. The brand's better-known products include the Moisturizing Cream in a tub, the Hydrating Cleanser and the PM Facial Moisturizing Lotion, sold through pharmacies and general retail. Since 2017 CeraVe has belonged to the L'Oréal group, within its dermatological beauty division.
