About cerave
CeraVe is the ceramide cleanser and moisturizer line founded in 2005 as a dermatologist drugstore brand, later bought by L'Oréal, and shoppers now look up that drugstore name for barrier creams, lotions, and hydrating cleansers rather than a salon serum.
L'Oréal dated the purchase agreement to January 10 2017: the group signed with Valeant to buy CeraVe, AcneFree, and Ambi for $1.3 billion in cash, with combined annualized revenue of about $168 million, and said the three brands would join the Active Cosmetics Division next to La Roche-Posay, Vichy, and SkinCeuticals. A July 23 2025 PR Newswire release marking 20 years said the line had grown from three core products (Moisturizing Cream, Moisturizing Lotion, Hydrating Cleanser) to more than 90 barrier-supporting SKUs, sold in over 65 countries, and had crossed the $2 billion mark in global sales the prior year. The same release cited a survey of dermatologists in 29 countries putting CeraVe in front of 80,000 dermatologists worldwide. The Ordinary tracks the other late-summer skincare cart on this site.

Why the page charts Google Shopping
A cream people buy should be tracked on a shopping source first, and Google Shopping for cerave clears the 7-day +20% bar and the 30-day +25% bar while Google Search for the same keyword fails both windows from a 50 print.
Google Search for cerave is 50 on September 5, down 16.67% from 60 on August 29 and up 2.04% from 49 on August 8. The 7-day print fails +20%. The 30-day print fails +25%. The 1-year print is 50 from 57, down 12.28%. Search is a high, stuck query. Shopping is the cart: 40 to 48 in the frozen weekly series over 7 days, 18 to 48 in 30 days, 6 to 48 in 1 year (+700.0%), 261 weekly points, week-to-week sample standard deviation 39.43% on the last 52 changes. Same-day get_growth on google shopping, 30-day window, puts vanicream at 46 (+283.33% from 12), the ordinary at 70 (+218.18% from 22), la roche posay at 38 (+192.31% from 13), neutrogena at 23 (+109.09% from 11), and cetaphil moisturizer at 39 (+77.27% from 22). get_top_trends on Amazon Best Sellers by Category Beauty Personal Care as of September 7 2026 put The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner at rank 9, a same-aisle neighbor rather than CeraVe itself.

The Trends MCP calls for this keyword
get_time_series with source google shopping and keyword cerave is the call behind the chart, returning 261 weekly points from 2021-09-11 through 2026-09-05 stored as {date, value} with no smoothing, which is the only series this page is allowed to quote. get_growth on the same pair, windows 7D and 30D, is the headline math: 40 to 48 (+20.0%) and 18 to 48 (+166.67%). Mixing the Google Search 50 with the Shopping 48 would invent a story the APIs do not tell.
