About cerave
CeraVe is the ceramide moisturizer and cleanser line founded in 2005 as a dermatologist drugstore brand under Valeant, later Bausch Health, and people now shop that drugstore name for barrier creams, lotions, and hydrating cleansers rather than a salon serum. L'Oréal Finance dated the purchase agreement to January 10 2017: L'Oréal 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. Wikipedia's CeraVe page records an 89% rise in global sales in 2020 after Hyram Yarbro promoted the line, with $3.2 million in media impact value between March and October 2020. The same page notes a Super Bowl LVIII commercial in 2024 that used Michael Cera's name as a joke. The Ordinary tracks the other late-August 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 30-day +25% bar while Google Search for the same keyword fails both the 7-day and 30-day windows from a 56 print. Google Search for cerave is 56 on August 29, down 6.67% from 60 on August 22 and up 14.29% from 49 on August 1. The 7-day print fails +20%. The 30-day print fails +25%. Search is a high, stuck query. Shopping is the cart. Amazon for cerave is stale at July 31, 66.1 and down 4.06% over 30 days, so it is not the story source.
Google Shopping is the story source: 37 to 38 in the frozen weekly series over 7 days, 12 to 38 in 30 days, 261 weekly points, week-to-week sample standard deviation 38.54% on the last 52 changes. Same-day get_growth on google shopping, 30-day window, puts the ordinary at 68 (+580.0% from 10), la roche posay at 42 (+500.0% from 7), cetaphil at 59 (+59.46% from 37), and neutrogena at 14 (+55.56% from 9). lash princess mascara printed 53 from a 0 baseline on August 1, so that 30-day percent is omitted. Beauty-cart context: Lash Princess mascara. Source context: Google Shopping trends.
get_time_series with source google shopping and keyword cerave is the call behind the chart. get_growth on the same pair, windows 7D and 30D, is the headline math: 37 to 38 (+2.7%) and 12 to 38 (+216.67%). Mixing the Google Search 56 with the Shopping 38 would invent a story the APIs do not tell.
