The Story
In 2005, CeraVe’s dermatologists developed a line of skincare products enriched with a blend of three essential ceramides (ceramides 1, 3, and 6-II), fatty acids, and other lipids to help repair and strengthen the skin’s natural barrier. A revolutionary delivery system was developed and named MultiVesicular Emulsion Technology (MVE), which releases moisturizing ingredients over the course of 24 hours, layer by layer, to help keep skin soft all day long. With the combination of ceramides and MVE, CeraVe launched in 2006 with three core products Moisturizing Cream, Moisturizing Lotion, and Hydrating Cleanser. CeraVe currently offers over a complete range of products delivering skincare products for all, developed with the expertise of dermatologists. As the affordable, accessible, dermatologist-recommended solution to hydrate, restore, and replenish skin.

The Logo
C ERAVE
C E R AVE
Watercolour background. This is what our default logo looks like. The strip of watercolour should seem to bleed endlessly off the page, unlike what it seems in this example.
Black & White. Our logo may need to be reproduced with one colour, so this is what it looks like, when the bleeding strip is effective.
C E RAVE
C E R AVE
Photo background. This is an example of our logo with a dynamic background, particularly to enhance repetitive advertising. It is important to note that the photography must also act as the dividing element.
Black & White — On Black. If the bleeding strip is ineffective in one colour reproduction, this is what it looks like on black. The colours may be inverted if the reproduction is on white.
C ERAVE
C E R AVE
No Background — On White. This is what our logo looks like when background’s aren’t effective, such as in formal documents.
Grayscale — On White. If the bleeding strip is ineffective, but can be reproduced in grayscale, this is what it looks like on white. The colours may be inverted if the reproduction is on black.
