CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser

CeraVe was founded in 2005 by a team of dermatologists in the United States, originally under the company Coria Laboratories. The brand is renowned for incorporating essential ceramides and MVE technology into skincare. In 2017, the global beauty giant L'Oréal acquired CeraVe along with other brands from Valeant Pharmaceuticals to strengthen its dermatological beauty division.

While the brand has its roots in American clinical research, manufacturing for the European market often takes place in France, as indicated by the 'La Roche-Posay' and '75008 Paris' addresses frequently seen on the packaging. L'Oréal manages the brand through its L'Oréal Dermatological Beauty division, focusing on science-backed formulas available in pharmacies and mass-market retailers worldwide.
