The CeraVe Skincare Staples Adore Beauty Staffers Can’t Live Without
Jas is the former Senior Content Specialist at Adore Beauty. A beauty admirer turned certified addict, she brings a sharp editorial eye and pop-culture pulse to everything she creates. Her words have appeared in The Age, Sydney Morning Herald, and Broadsheet. When she’s not producing viral content or podcasting about skincare, you’ll find her thrifting for vintage treasures or binging Bravo (strictly for research, of course).
Not all heroes wear capes. Some wear a CeraVe label.
Synonymous with simple yet effective products that are gentle on the skin, CeraVe’s plain packaging, digestible ingredients list and "no-frills" approach have won the hearts and minds of many a beauty lover – from seasoned skincare buffs to tweens taking their first steps into beauty.
If it wasn’t already obvious, we’re big CeraVe fans at Adore Beauty. So are our mums, bodies, and bank accounts
Yes, we love our bougie beauty treats, but our skincare routine would be nothing without our straightforward, often slept-on staples.
CeraVe products are the cornerstones of our skincare rituals, offering reliability and results that stand the test of time.
Because we believe that great skincare should be shared, we’re peeling back the curtain on the CeraVe products our team adds to their carts, time and time again.
Keep scrolling to discover the CeraVe essentials that keep our skin happy, healthy, and hydrated, no matter the season.
1. CeraVe Reparative Hand Cream.
Why it's my top CeraVe pick:
(Begrudgingly), dry hands are kinda my thing.
I could soak them in a vat of butter and they’ll still come out crispy. I wish I was joking (I kind of am).
Hence, hand creams are a non-negotiable. For my bag, bedside, kitchen bench, car… pretty much any available surface in reach.
The CeraVe Reparative Hand Cream is like performing CPR on my palms. It’s super thick and nourishing, and instantly alleviates dryness without feeling greasy or sticky afterwards.
The 48g is the perfect size for a handbag or glove box, with a snap closure that avoids unwanted spillage.
Its moisture-thick formula also works a treat on dry heels, elbows, arms and legs.
That said, I wouldn’t use it above the neck as it’s super emollient and potentially too heavy-handed for the delicate skin on our faces.
The CeraVe Reparative Hand Cream is also water-resistant, so if you work in healthcare, hospitality or another profession where you regularly wash your hands, you'll especially appreciate this soothing salve.
2. CeraVe Skin Renewing Night Cream.
Why it's Ally's top CeraVe pick:
"If you’re looking to level up your PM skincare routine without the hefty price tag, you *need* to add this to cart.
The CeraVe Skin Renewing Night Cream could be mistaken for a high-end moisturiser thanks to its hydrating, rich and luxurious formula.
With niacinamide, three essential ceramides and hyaluronic acid, this cream works to boost collagen production, protect your skin barrier, and enhance firmness and elasticity while you catch those Zs.
What more could you ask for?” - Ally, Social Media Specialist.
3. CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser.
Why it's Cass' top CeraVe pick:
"The CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser is my holy grail – I use it every. single. day.
I love its gentle and nourishing formula, which effectively removes makeup and debris from the day without leaving my skin feeling dry or tight.
With ceramides, glycerin, and hyaluronic acid, it keeps my skin well-hydrated.
Plus, I appreciate that I can use it on both my face and body. All of this for less than $20!" - Cass, Podcast Producer.
4. CeraVe Hydrating Foaming Oil Cleanser.
Why it's Sadaf's top CeraVe pick:
"I've talked many times about how this is one my of all time and just proof that good, effective and high-performing doesn't always have to be expensive.
As a combo skin gal, this doesn't leave my skin stripped, doesn't sting the eyes and is excellent at getting off all your makeup! One of my most-used, and most-recommended products." - Sadaf, Senior Beauty Editor.
5. CeraVe Daily Moisturising Lotion.
Why it's Maddy's top CeraVe pick:
"Sometimes it’s a challenge to get my partner to use skincare, but Cerave’s big Moisturising Lotion has been perfect!
It’s created for dry skin, so he uses it on his face and I use it on my body.
My partner especially likes that it sinks in pretty quickly and doesn’t leave an oily residue on his face.
It’s a simple, easy, non-irritating moisturiser and it’s such an easy win! - Maddy, Videographer.
