CeraVe went from pharmacy shelf filler to the most recommended moisturizer on the internet after dermatologists started using it as their default suggestion for almost every skin type. The formula uses 3 essential ceramides plus hyaluronic acid. Thick without being greasy, the texture works for dry skin without breaking out oily skin. At $16 for a 19-ounce tub, price per use is nearly nothing. Despite massive demand after going viral on TikTok, the brand hasn't raised prices. Packaging is medical rather than aspirational, blue and white label communicating function over lifestyle. Recommended equally by dermatologists and 19-year-olds on social media, that credibility across audiences is hard to replicate.
