We’re not surprised if you’re constantly fazed by the myriad of skincare brands in the market. There are consumers that flock to brands that promise instant results or even mimic the routines of celebrities that often credit their glowing, flawless skin to their own skincare label. But what about tried-and-tested cult skincare favourites like CeraVe?
For the unacquainted, CeraVe is no stranger to the skincare game. Launched in 2006, the brand first unveiled its three core products: Moisturising Cream, Moisturising Lotion, and Hydrating Cleanser. Their line is more commonly known for its formulas that are enriched with its key ingredient, Ceramide — targeting the skin’s barrier and helping the skin retain moisture. The ingredient has also been said to help the skin protect against external aggressors such as irritants and pollution. Besides their unique blend of three essential ceramides (ceramides 1, 3, and 6-II), the brand’s formulas also consist of fatty acids and other lipids — which works hand in hand to repair and strengthen the skin’s barrier.
So why is the brand drawing a new following? Surprisingly, it’s because of TikTok. What was first known as a brand backed by dermatologists and recommended to eczema patients have now been popularised amongst the Gen Zers for their skincare routine.
