You probably don’t need us to tell you how popular CeraVe is. From dermatologists to the A-list – and of course, the entire ELLE UK beauty team – there’s a whole host of industry insiders that recommend this budget brand. In fact, it even beat the big players to scoop an ELLE Future of Beauty Award last year.
The secret to CeraVe’s success doesn’t lie in savvy marketing, sexy packaging or exotic new ingredients – in fact, it’s all very simple. Each formula is designed just to do the essentials – think clean, hydrate and strengthen skin – and uses a combination of tried-and-tested ingredients to do so. The stars of the show are ceramides: the lipids that act as the building block of your skin barrier, holding moisture in while keeping impurities out. With hyaluronic acid, salicylic acid and glycerin also in the mix, each formula is a no-frills force to be reckoned with.
Of course, part of CeraVe’s appeal is the price. With everything coming in under £20, the value is unquestionable – but today, you can restock your bathroom shelf for even less, as CeraVe has (somewhat surprisingly) joined the Amazon Prime Day sale for 2021. With up to 40% off all the brand’s greatest hits, this is clearly the time to join the cult.
Below, see what the ELLE UK beauty team (along with the rest of the world) will be snapping up today.
WAS £15 NOW £9
This classic cleanser is the one to go for if your skin often feels dry and tight after cleansing. It’s silky and soothing, and contains those famous ceramides to fortify your skin barrier.

Facial Moisturising Lotion SPF 25
WAS £13 NOW £8.30
Dermatologists frequently recommend this simple moisturising lotion.’This affordable basic is non-fragranced and non-clogging, so great for sensitive, acne-prone skin ,’ dermatologist Dr. Sam Bunting once told us. ‘It provides great barrier support due to ingredients like ceramides and hyaluronic acid. It’s an excellent product at a great price.’

Hydrating Hyaluronic Acid Serum
WAS £17 NOW £10.20
CeraVe is taking on the big players with its latest launch, proving that hyaluronic acid serums don’t need to cost a fortune. This milky formula contains the power humectant alongside glycerin, soothing vitamin B5 and that trio of barrier-boosting ceramides. It’s a brilliant option for all skin types.
WAS £12.50 NOW £7
While the Hydrating Cleanser is ideal for drier skin types, this one has gained cult appeal for the way it works on acne-prone skin. Niacinamide and saliyclic acid work to clear congestion and balance oil production, while ceramides keep your barrier in check.
WAS £10 NOW £6.40
This is the one to go for if you can’t live without a bit of lather in the mornings. Instead of skincare controversy-courter, sodium lauryl sulphate, it uses a gentler surfactant to deliver an airy foam that’ll sweep away grime without upsetting your skin barrier.
