Whenever I visit my dermatologist’s office, I’m asked to bring in the products I’ve been using so she can properly assess which ones are working and which ones should be tossed. As a self-professed skin care obsessive (and a beauty editor for over five years), I’ve tried just about every formula there is, from high-end to drugstore, so I walk in confidently knowing I’m on the right track. As she parsed my skin care products, my sunscreen and daily moisturizer received a disapproving head shake “no,” while a few face serums prompted a mere shrug as if to signal the product was decent, but I could do better. Then, we finally earned some brownie points when she shuffled through the rest and landed on a drugstore classic: CeraVe’s SA Renewing Cleanser.
Beloved by me, dermatologists, and fellow beauty lovers, CeraVe is a universally effective brand that caters to a bevy of skin care woes by offering corrective formulas that won’t break the bank or further damage the skin. “CeraVe was developed with close input from dermatologists, and each product contains 3 essential ceramides, which are natural oils that make up part of our skin barrier, allowing CeraVe products to help restore the skin barrier with regular use. Beyond that, there is a wide variety of different products suitable for each different skin type, allowing someone of any skin type to find products that work perfectly for them,” says Dr. Mark Strom, an NYC-based dermatologist at Mount Sinai and CeraVe brand partner.
