The best CeraVe products that GLAMOUR editors, skincare experts and the whole of TikTok swear by (including the brand new blemish range!)
When it comes to skincare, we're often led to believe that the more you spend, the better your results will be. After all, how could a couple of CeraVe products that are less than £20 possibly compare to a £200 competitor?
According to beauty editors and insiders, sometimes they can. CeraVe, the no-frills skincare brand that focuses on results, not packaging, hit UK shores back in 2018 (much to the delight of fans who had been lugging as much as they could carry back, every time they crossed the Atlantic). And it has been growing in popularity ever since. Now one of the worst kept secrets in the beauty world, the brand's rather minimalist-looking products prove that skincare doesn't have to cost an arm and a leg to be effective - that's something we can get behind.
The best part? The cult-favourite label has launched a couple of brand new products we're sure to be just as obsessed with. The Blemish Control Face Cleanser and the Blemish Control Gel Moisturiser. Enriched with 2% salicylic acid and niacinamide, both products have been developed with dermatologists and and specifically formulated for blemish-prone skin. The formulas penetrate pores to eliminate the cause of spots & blemishes, all while protecting the skin's natural barrier. Magic.
What makes CeraVe such a hit? As stated on the bottle, CeraVe is ‘Developed with Dermatologists’ and the entire range is built on ceramides which, with thanks to genius technology known as MultiVesicular Emulsion, deliver the good-for-skin ingredients to exactly where they need to be within the skin. What's more, all of CeraVe's products are formulated without many added sensitisers or fragrances you’d find in other products so they tend not to irritate even the most sensitive of skin. All in all, pretty impressive stuff.
CeraVe has a range of uncomplicated but effective moisturisers, cleansers, and body care products so, with plenty of bestselling formulas to check out, there's no time to waste when it comes to updating your regimen.
So which CeraVe products should you add to basket first? Apart from the brand new Micellar Cleansing Water, of course, the Hydrating Hyaluronic Acid facial serum is high up on most of the GLAMOUR team's wish lists right now (thanks winter for the dry skin). This Hydrating Cleanser for face and body is magic too, made even more so considering that it's less than £10. Plus, this Moisturising Lotion for dry skin is an absolute must-have bargain.

Best CeraVe micellar water
CeraVe Micellar Cleansing Water, WAS £10 NOW £8, LookFantastic
Editor's notes: “If you're a fan of double cleansing but hate the fuss of getting your face wet twice, then this micellar water is for you. Designed to clean without the need to rinse, the formula is fortified with three essential ceramides (1, 3, 6-II), working to keep the skin hydrated for up to 24 hours. It also uses niacinamide, a form of vitamin B3, to help cleanse and purify your complexion.”

Best CeraVe Cleanser For Blemish Control
CeraVe Blemish Control Face Cleanser with 2% Salicylic Acid & Niacinamide, £8, Boots
Editor's notes: “If you're someone who has blemish-prone skin, you'll be wanting to add this cleanser to your daily routine. It's a refreshing gel-to-foam formula that helps to reduce the appearance of spots and blackheads while respecting the skin's natural barrier, so it doesn't leave that taut feeling afterwards. You'll find it gently exfoliates, too, courtesy of ceramides, niacinamide and 2% salicylic acid.”
Best CeraVe Products For Blemishes
CeraVe Blemish Control Gel Moisturiser with 2% Salicylic Acid & Niacinamide, £8.80, Boots
Editor's notes: The recommended following step to the Blemish Control cleanser, this gel moisturiser targets blemishes and blackheads, helping your skin to look noticeably clearer. Because of the salicylic acid and niacinamide-enriched formula, you may experience dry skin or peeling, so we recommend you use it every other day if this occurs.

Best CeraVe cleanser for dry skin
CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser 236ml, WAS £10 NOW £8, Boots
Editor's notes: "If like me, you’re someone with year-round dry skin, I couldn’t recommend this cleanser enough. Its effective at removing my make up and any dirt and grime on my face at the end of the day, but at the same time it doesn’t strip away any moisture – in fact, the hyaluronic acid replenishes it. I love it’s non-foaming, silky texture and that unlike so many other cleansers I’ve tried, it doesn’t leave my skin feeling tight.”

Best CeraVe serum
CeraVe Hydrating Hyaluronic Acid Serum 30ml, £12.90, Amazon
Editor's notes: "Unlike other watery serums that seem to sit on the surface of my skin, as soon as I apply CeraVe’s newest launch to my face, I can feel the hydration soaking through. It almost feels like a moisturizer (which makes sense as the product is focused on lightweight emollients traditionally found in moisturizers) and the effects last through the day. Consider me a convert."

CeraVe Moisturising Lotion 473ml, WAS £15 NOW £12, LookFantastic
Editor's notes: "I keep a bottle of this moisturizing body lotion from CeraVe both in my bathroom and next to my bed at all times. Like CeraVe’s skincare products, it utilises MVE technology to deliver the benefits of essential ceramides and hyaluronic acid to my entire body, which has really kept it moisturized through the winter. I love the milky formulation that soaks in quickly and leaves my body quenched, without feeling greasy."

Best CeraVe cleanser for combination skin
CeraVe SA Smoothing Cleanser 236ml, WAS £12.50 NOW £10, Boots
Editor's notes: "I have combination skin with frequent breakouts, and this cleanser has been a game-changer for me. With it’s 0.5% concentration of Salicylic acid it elevates this product from a really great cleanser to one that exfoliates too – but without aggravating or drying out my skin. My skin is noticeably smoother thanks to this cleanser, and for only £12, it’s a product I won’t go without."

Best CeraVe moisturiser
CeraVe AM Facial Moisturising Lotion SPF 25 52ml, £10.24, Amazon
Editor's notes: “Yes I know all about the importance of a separate SPF in my skincare routine, but I appreciate that this moisturizer has an inbuilt SPF 25 for days I forget. Besides that, I really enjoy the lightweight texture of this product on my skin and the combination of three naturally occurring ceramides and Hyaluronic Acid (as well as the absence of any fragrances) suits my sensitive, dry skin perfectly.”

Best CeraVe body moisturiser for sensitive skin
CeraVe SA Smoothing Cream 177ml, £9.48, Amazon
Editor's notes: “This cream literally does what it says on the box – it’s made a huge difference to the texture of my skin, which is sensitive, bumpy, and prone to razor burn. Although the combination of Salicylic Acid and Lactic Acid might sound drying, it’s surprisingly hydrating, whilst at the same time exfoliating. Its rich texture soaks in quickly so I love smothering my body in it before getting into my PJs, and letting it work its magic overnight.”

Best CeraVe eye cream
CeraVe Eye Repair Cream 14ml, £9.48, Amazon
Editor's notes: “Every time I re-order this eye cream, I can’t believe the price. Alongside CeraVe’s signature ceramids and hyaluronic acid combination, it contains a marine and botanical Complex, which results in my dark circles and puffiness around my eyes being noticeably less visible. It sinks in quickly so it’s ideal to wear under my makeup, but I also use at nighttime for added hydration to this delicate area.”

Best CeraVe cream to foam cleanser
CeraVe Cream-To-Foam Cleanser 236ml, WAS £12.50 NOW £10, LookFantastic
Editor's notes: “At first glance, you'd be forgiven for thinking this was the same as the Hydrating Cleanser. The difference is, while both products are for normal to dry skin, this one transforms from a cream to a foam to capture any lingering debris. It's also infused with amino acids.”

Best CeraVe night cream
CeraVe PM Facial Moisturising Lotion 52ml, WAS £13.50 NOW £10.80, LookFantastic
Editor's notes: “If you're a fan of the day version of this cream (the one with the SPF), then you'll absolutely love this PM formula. Perfect for normal to dry skin, it's slightly richer in texture than the AM equivalent.”
Best CeraVe foot cream
CeraVe SA Renewing Foot Cream, WAS £8.50 NOW £6.80, Look Fantastic
Editor's notes: “I know it’s not the sexiest product to have on my beauty must-have list, but CeraVe’s Foot Cream has become an unmissable part of daily bodycare routine through lockdown. Despite not being able to have regular pedicures, this lotion has kept my feet looking tip top; it has a gentle exfoliating technique plus its nurturing formula prevents dry skin forming. No more cracked heels for me.”

Best CeraVe hand cream
CeraVe Soothing and Repairing Hand Cream, WAS £6 NOW £4.80, Boots
Editor's notes: “I know I’m not alone in saying that the past year’s constant hand washing and sanitsing has wreaked havoc on my hands. They got to the point where they were painfully dry, and CeraVe’s Hand Cream has been a life-saver. Enriched with three ceramides and hyaluronic acid, it leaves my hands feeling hydrated for hours – and I love that it isn’t greasy and soaks straight into my skin barrier.”
