Our Brand Story

Before the launch of CeraVe, research increasingly showed that many skin concerns were linked to reduced ceramide levels. In 2005, a team of board-certified dermatologists used this scientific insight to create a new technology featuring skin-identical ceramides 1, 3, and 6-II, along with fatty acids and other lipids. This formulation was enhanced by MultiVesicular Emulsion (MVE) technology, which not only helped restore the skin barrier but also delivered lasting hydration for up to 24 hours with a single use. This breakthrough marked the birth of CeraVe—affordable, therapeutic skincare, trusted by doctors and patients alike.
