As skincare becomes an increasingly complex industry, few brands manage to stand out in such a crowded space. Nevertheless, CeraVe has achieved what many thought impossible – garnering a legion of devoted fans despite its drugstore roots. From TikTok stars raving about the benefits of its products to beauty experts swearing by its science-backed formulas in interviews and online posts, it seems that everyone wants in on some #cerave action. And while we love our high-end skincare as much as the next person, sometimes it's nice to save a few bucks without sacrificing quality.

If you're anything like me, caring for your skin is no small task – especially when you consider how important your face is in daily interactions. That's why it’s refreshing to see CeraVe take a no-nonsense approach to skincare. Unlike some companies whose marketing tactics and packaging can be deceptive, the brand was founded by dermatologists who saw a need for high-quality products that were transparent about their benefits and ingredients - no shortcuts, gimmicks or lofty jargon.

To achieve their goal, the brand utilizes an innovative delivery system that ensures every drop of product hits the deepest layers of your skin for unparalleled efficacy. Moreover, CeraVe's products are formulated with vital ceramides; little molecules that pack a punch when it comes to overall skin wellness and protecting you against dryness, irritation and acne outbreaks. Lastly, the products are loaded with hyaluronic acid, a powerful humectant that will keep you moisturized from head to toe (well, just face actually) all day long.

But it's not just about providing quality skincare. Supplementing their top-notch ingredients are prices that won't overburden your wallet – a nod towards accessibility that underlines why the brand stands out from others in its field. You can find CeraVe products at your local drugstore, although the brand has gained such a following that even luxury retailers like Sephora are offering their selection.

So, which CeraVe products deserve to be part of your stash? Let's take a look at some bestsellers our favorite beauty icons swear by:
