CeraVe Celebrates Two Decades of "Developed with Dermatologists" Skincare: A 20th Birthday Tribute to Skin Barrier Science and Innovations Français
From the very beginning, CeraVe has revolutionized the skincare landscape as the first brand to be developed with dermatologists - not as a slogan, but as a guiding philosophy and scientific foundation. Every formula, every innovation, every product begins and ends with the expertise of dermatologists, from concept to counter (or store shelf); ensuring clinical efficacy, barrier health and results.
"CeraVe's journey began and continues with dermatologists, ensuring superior skin health for all," said Melanie Vidal, Global General Manager, CeraVe. "Through close collaboration, we've transformed their groundbreaking clinical insights into widely accessible, therapeutic solutions that truly enhance lives. As we celebrate two decades of CeraVe and our significant expansion into over 65 countries, we are more dedicated than ever to formulating trusted, barrier-focused products, developed in partnership with dermatologists, for every individual. This momentous occasion not only honors our past achievements but also ignites our drive for another twenty years of pioneering global skin health and advancing the science of the skin barrier."
Key to CeraVe's success is the unique formulation that pairs three skin-identical ceramides with trademarked MVE technology – a unique delivery system that releases ingredients gradually, providing hydration that goes 10 layers deep and lasts all day. From the beloved intense hydration of the AM & PM Facial Moisturizing Lotion for dry skin or the barrier-friendly approach of the new Anti-Dandruff Hydrating Shampoo and Conditioner, each product is a direct result of clinical insight and consumer need. This dedication to tailored, dermatologist-developed solutions, consistently infused with ceramides and MVE technology, is why CeraVe has earned such profound trust and widespread recommendations from skin health professionals worldwide. Indeed, in the US and Canada, CeraVe proudly holds the #1 recommended position among key healthcare professionals, including dermatologists, pharmacists, and pediatricians 2, underscoring its broad acceptance and efficacy across various medical specialties.
To celebrate this significant accomplishment, CeraVe hosted a global celebration: a birthday bash in New York City that brought together some of the world's most-followed dermatologists, including Dr. Muneeb Shah, Dr. Mamina Turegano, Dr. Evan A. Rieder, Dr. Ted Lain, Professor Michael Cork, Dr. Esther Freedman, Dr. Dustin Portela, Dr. Wallace Nozile, Dr. Zoe Draelos, Dr. Nkem Ugonabo, Dr. Oyetewa Asempa, Dr. Leena Ramani, and Dr. Toral Vaidya, as well as some of TikTok's biggest stars, including Charli D'Amelio (@charlidamelio), and Ari@Home (@ariatinsta). The event was held on World Skin Health Day, allowing CeraVe to further amplify its message of accessible, dermatologist-developed skincare and its dedication to improving skin health worldwide, particularly through its commitment to providing access to dermatological care in under-resourced communities through the brand's Care For All social impact program.
As CeraVe looks to the future, the brand remains steadfast in its commitment to dermatologist-developed, science-backed skincare solutions; it continuously pushes the boundaries of innovation. Recent launches highlight groundbreaking new formats within their comprehensive portfolio. For instance, the transformative Blemish Clay-to-Foam Cleanser offers a 3-in-1 solution for blemish-prone skin; it visibly reduces pimples and post-acne marks in just three days. The gentle cleansing Balancing Air Foam Facial Cleanser, designed for combination skin, features Breakthrough Glycolysine™ Technology, providing 8-Hour Oil Control and 24-Hour Hydration. Additionally, CeraVe Blemish Barrier Patches are now available; these leverage advanced hydrocolloid technology with 3 essential ceramides and niacinamide, visibly flattening blemishes in 3 hours, absorbing excess oil, and helping prevent post-acne marks. These innovations collectively underscore CeraVe's dedication to accessible and cutting-edge skincare for all. Beyond skincare, CeraVe marked a significant milestone in the past year by successfully entering the brand new hair care category with its Anti-Dandruff and Gentle Haircare lines. The CeraVe Anti-Dandruff Shampoo and Conditioner when used as a system eliminates up to 100% of visible flakes without disrupting the scalp barrier, while also alleviating symptoms of mild to moderate dandruff and leaving hair healthy and soft. This bold venture has notably been recognized as the most successful hair care launch according to Nielsen data 3.
"As one of the first dermatologists involved in the development of CeraVe, I am proud to be part of a brand that has held true to their clinical roots," said Dermatologist Dr. Zoe Draelos. "CeraVe remains committed to involving dermatologists in the development and testing process – that's why it's one of the most effective skincare brands. It will be exciting to see the future brand innovations, as my fellow dermatologists continue to seek out accessible, beneficial skincare products for all."
Beyond its scientific rigor, CeraVe has consistently engaged its audience through its signature "medutainment" style – a unique blend of education and entertainment – with a series of noteworthy campaigns over the past two decades. From the iconic Michael CeraVe Super Bowl commercial that playfully embraced the brand's name, to the destigmatizing of dandruff with the "Head of CeraVe" campaign, and most recently, its Sarah V. GOAT mascot, CeraVe has masterfully utilized these platforms to get its core messaging across and re-emphasize its status as a brand developed with dermatologists.

Increase in softwood lumber tariffs unwarranted, unfair: N.B. government
Members of the forest industry and the provincial government weighed in Monday on the Trump administration's decision to raise tariffs on Canadian softwood lumber. Last week, the U.S. Commerce Department decided to raise anti-dumping duties on Canadian softwood to 20.56 per cent. A news release sent Monday by J.D. Irving, on behalf of the New Brunswick Lumber Producers co-chairs Jerome Pelletier and Glen Warmen, stated the province's forest industry is 'deeply troubled' by the decision to increase the duties by over 14 per cent. 'Increasing anti-dumping duties to 20.56 per cent from the current average rate of 7.66 per cent is unjustified,' read the statement. 'New Brunswick's softwood lumber producers already face punitive and unfair anti-dumping and countervailing duties.' According to the statement, when combined with an anticipated rise in countervailing duties, the new increase to anti-dumping duties will mean an expected new total of 34 per cent by the middle of August. The new tariff did not surprise New Brunswick Minister of Natural Resources John Herron. 'This administration has been very difficult to predict,' said Herron. 'Just to be clear, from the government of New Brunswick perspective, these increase in tariffs and countervailing duties are unwarranted, unfair.' Herron said the softwood lumber industry is a very important sector of the province's economy with 28,000 New Brunswickers earning their living directly from the forests. 'That translates into $3 billion of exports, $2 billion in payroll, but perhaps most importantly is the jobs associated with the forestry sector that are dispersed throughout the province,' said Herron. Anti-dumping duties are assessed when a product is being sold to importers in the United States at prices that are lower than comparable products coming from the country of export. Duties can also be assessed when goods are sold into American markets at prices that are not profitable. Rick Doucett, president of the New Brunswick Federation of Woodlot Owners, said the decision by the Americans creates a lot of anxiety. 'Right now, in our world on the producer's side, the suppliers' side of wood, the markets aren't very good. The margins are pretty tight as far as the price of wood and people being able to make money, either the woodlot owner or the producer, anybody cutting wood,' said Doucett. Doucett said the concern is anytime a fee gets imposed on the industry, the industry does tend to try to find a place to pass it on to. 'Obviously one of the places they have passed those fees on in the past is to the suppliers, which we are,' said Doucett. 'If the idea is to pass those fees on in the form of lower prices, I'm not sure our members will survive that.' Doucett said whenever anybody in the supply chain hears about duties or tariffs or any other fees, they get very anxious about those fees being imposed on them in the form of lower wood prices and possibly making their operation not viable anymore. On Friday, the British Columbia Lumber Organization condemned the decision to raise anti-dumping duties on Canadian softwood calling them unjustified, punitive and protectionist. The B.C. Council of Forest Industries issued a statement saying it will harm workers, families and communities across the country. British Columbia Minister of Forests Ravi Parmar said the forestry sector is feeling the full weight of the decision. 'We know, here in Canada over the last few weeks and months that Donald Trump is doing everything in his power to destroy our economy,' said Parmar. Herron has worked with Parmar over the past few weeks and doesn't think the B.C. minister's language is an overstatement. Herron also believes Canada may actually be better positioned now to negotiate an accord with the United States on softwood lumber than it has been positioned to do in the past. He has faith in Dominic LeBlanc, the federal minister of Intergovernmental Affairs of Canada. 'Minister LeBlanc, who is leading the trade discussions with the Americans on all commodities, now has softwood lumber on the top sheet of the negotiating docket,' said Herron. One way or the other, Herron is optimistic the federal government will put all hands on deck to negotiate an accord with their American counterparts for this crucial sector of New Brunswick's economy. 'But it takes two parties to dance,' said Herron. With files from the Canadian Press. For more New Brunswick news, visit our dedicated provincial page.

U.S. slaps 20.56% anti-dumping duties on Canadian softwood lumber
Social Sharing The U.S. Commerce Department has decided to hike anti-dumping duties on Canadian softwood to 20.56 per cent, with B.C. lumber organizations calling them unjustified, punitive and protectionist. The hiked softwood lumber duties come amid the growing trade war between Canada and the U.S., and represent the latest blow to B.C.'s beleaguered forestry industry. B.C. Forests Minister Ravi Parmar described the long-awaited rate hike as a "gut punch" for B.C.'s forestry industry which has seen thousands of workers laid off over the last few years. "U.S. President Donald Trump has made it his mission to destroy Canada's economy, and there is no sector that has faced more of that than the forestry sector," he told CBC News. "This is a big deal for our workers. This is going to have a significant impact. It will lead to curtailments," he added. The B.C. government has been urging the federal government to prioritize the softwood lumber industry in trade discussions with the U.S., and Parmar said the hiked duties would also impact U.S. homeowners needing lumber to rebuild or renovate their homes. "This is going to mean that Americans, in particular middle-class Americans, are going to be paying more to the tune of $15,000 to $20,000 more USD to purchase or to build a home." The B.C. Lumber Trade Council says in a statement that if the U.S. department's pending review on countervailing duties is in line with its preliminary results, the combined rate against Canadian softwood shipped to the United States will be well over 30 per cent. In April, the preliminary combined rate on Canadian softwood lumber was reported to be 34.45 per cent, up from the previous 14.54 per cent. Friday's decision is a final determination, with Parmar saying it would go into effect in the U.S. Federal Register shortly. WATCH | Duties hiked on softwood lumber: U.S. hikes anti-dumping duties on Canadian softwood lumber | Hanomansing Tonight 17 hours ago U.S. lumber producers have long maintained that Canadian stumpage fees, for harvesting on Crown land, are an unfair government subsidy. B.C.'s Independent Wood Processors Association says in a statement that the U.S. Commerce Department's decision this week to raise duties also includes a requirement for Canadian companies to retroactively remit duties for products shipped to the United States since Jan.1, 2023. WATCH | B.C. premier urges feds to prioritze lumber deal: Will a softwood lumber deal be part of Canada-U.S. trade negotiations? | Power & Politics 5 days ago As premiers meet ahead of a briefing from the prime minister on the state of Canada-U.S. trade negotiations on Tuesday, B.C. Premier David Eby tells Power & Politics there may be 'an opportunity' for Canada to strike a deal on long-standing softwood lumber disputes with the Americans. Association chair Andy Rielly says in a statement that the requirement to pay duties on products shipped in the last 31 months could not only force small B.C. producers to shut down, but may also threaten operators' personal assets as they may have to risk using their homes as collateral to secure bonds to pay. Prime Minister Mark Carney said earlier this month that a future trade agreement with the United States could include quotas on softwood lumber, an area that has caused friction between the two countries for years before the latest trade war. Producer urges province to change conditions The United States has long been the single largest market for B.C. lumber exports, representing over half the market for the approximately $10-billion industry. But amid a series of challenges for the province's forestry industry — including a mountain pine beetle infestation that has killed hundreds of thousands of trees — mills have been closing around the province in recent years, and major forestry companies are opening up new mills in the United States. In 2023, numbers from Statistics Canada showed B.C. had lost more than 40,000 forest-sector jobs since the early 1990s. Kim Haakstad, the CEO of the B.C. Council of Forest Industries, said the B.C. government should work to improve the production environment in the province to prevent future mill closures. In a statement, the council said that by activating timber sales, fast-tracking permits and cutting through regulatory gridlock, the province could send a signal that it is serious about rebuilding a sustainable forest sector. WATCH | B.C.'s forestry industry struggles amid tariff war: Trump's tariff war could collapse B.C.'s struggling forest industry 4 months ago B.C.'s forest industry is already in serious trouble, and U.S. President Donald Trump's tariff war is pushing it closer to the brink of collapse. CBC's Lyndsay Duncombe breaks down what's at stake for lumber producers and how they're looking to adapt. Haakstad argued that if the industry could get production levels back to historic levels, it could help keep forestry-dependent communities vibrant into the future. "That will bring more than $300 million to the provincial government, as well, to help address the deficit situation we're in," Haakstad said. Kurt Niquidet, the president of the B.C. Lumber Trade Council, highlighted that Trump also has initiated a federal investigation into the U.S. imports of lumber and timber citing "national security," which could further impact B.C.'s forestry industry when combined with the tariffs. "Softwood lumber is quite important for the United States. They can only supply about 70 per cent of their softwood lumber demand, and they're importing 30 per cent from elsewhere," he told CBC News.
