CeraVe Hydrating Cream-to-Foam Cleanser

CeraVe Hydrating Cream-to-Foam Cleanser is a popular skincare product known for its dermatologist-developed formula that transitions from a cream texture to a soft foam. The brand was founded in 2005 in the United States by a team of dermatologists in collaboration with Valeant Pharmaceuticals (now Bausch Health). The brand's unique selling point is its use of three essential ceramides and Multivesicular Emulsion (MVE) technology, which provides a steady release of moisture over time.

In 2017, the global beauty conglomerate L'Oréal acquired CeraVe for $1.3 billion as part of its Active Cosmetics Division. Since then, the brand has expanded significantly into international markets, including Australia. While CeraVe was originally manufactured exclusively in the United States, its global supply chain now involves multiple production hubs.

Products sold in the Australian market are frequently manufactured in France; however, recent supply chain shifts have seen an increasing number of units produced in China to meet regional demand. The ultimate ownership lies with L'Oréal, headquartered in France, which manages the brand through its local subsidiaries in various countries.
