A Global Celebration Unites Dermatologists, Influencers, and Innovators in New York City to Mark 20 Years of the Iconic Skincare Brand

NEW YORK, July 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- It's CeraVe-time to celebrate! CeraVe, the global skincare brand recommended by 80,000 dermatologists worldwide1, is celebrating a major milestone: 20 years of skin barrier authority, championing barrier health and delivering effective, skin identical ceramide and MVE solutions to provide accessible, therapeutic skincare solutions for everybody everywhere.

Over the past two decades, CeraVe has catapulted from a local US derm-backed secret to a global phenomenon, building an inclusive brand that appeals to all genders and generations. What remains unchanged is the brand's foundational insights: that most skin issues are linked to skin barrier disruption, and that skin identical ceramides are key to restoring and maintaining it. That insight began with three core products: Moisturizing Cream, Moisturizing Lotion and Hydrating Cleanser, and today powers a global portfolio of more than 90 barrier-supporting products. This unwavering dedication to its foundational insights, supported by its expertise as a skin barrier authority and its dermatologist-led development, has been the driving force behind CeraVe's remarkable exponential expansion, leading to an impressive 10X growth since its inception, and crossing the $2 billion mark in global sales last year.

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 pediatricians2, 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 Glycolysineâ„¢ 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 data3.

"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.

LOS ANGELES, April 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Following the release of several authoritative 2025 annual AR market reports, one brand has consistently emerged as the industry leader: RayNeo. Despite varying statistical methodologies across firms, the conclusion remains unanimous—RayNeo has secured the No.1 position in both global and Chinese markets. In just four years since its inception, the AR pioneer has achieved a "no-suspense" lead, dominating key regions with record-breaking growth.

Dominating Global and North American Markets

According to the Counterpoint Research 2025 Global AR Smart Glasses Brand Shipment Report, RayNeo commanded a 27% share of global shipments in 2025, ranking first worldwide. The brand saw explosive growth in Q4 2025 across China, North America, and Europe.

Data from IDC further confirms RayNeo's global leadership in Q4 2025, highlighting a "phenomenal breakthrough" in the North American market, where RayNeo's shipments surged by 456.5% year-over-year. Consequently, IDC noted in its report that the smart glasses sector has officially entered an era led by Chinese brands.

Full-Stack Innovation and Global Ecosystem

RayNeo's ascent is fueled by its deep commitment to R&D in near-eye display, spatial computing, AI large models, and human-computer interaction. By achieving full-link self-research and mass production of core optical solutions, RayNeo has built a formidable technical moat.

  • X Series: All-scenario AI+AR glasses.

  • Air Series: The "super blockbuster" focused on immersive viewing.

  • V Series: Specialized AI filming glasses.

RayNeo's services now span over 30 countries and regions, with a strong retail presence in global mainstream channels such as Amazon and Best Buy. RayNeo's ecosystem has received several praises, signaling the brand's success in moving AR from "tech novelty" to "daily essential."

Strategic Financing and Ecosystem Expansion

RayNeo's market leadership is supported by robust capital backing and a rapidly expanding global partner network. In Q1 2026, the company successfully completed a financing round exceeding $140 million (approx. 1 billion RMB), led by an investment group including CITIC Goldstone and strategic funds from industry giants China Mobile and China Unicom.

Alongside this financial growth, RayNeo is deepening its technical integration with world-class telecommunications partners, including China Mobile, and China Unicom. These collaborations focus on building a 5G+AR+AI ecosystem centered on eSIM technology, advanced AI models, and cloud services. Additionally, RayNeo continues to co-create diverse application scenarios with global tech leaders such as Google, Applied Materials, SeeYA Technology, Alibaba Cloud, Ant Group, and Tencent, further accelerating the maturity of the global AR industry.

About RayNeo

RayNeo is the global leader in consumer Augmented Reality (AR) glasses, dedicated to transforming everyday life for one billion people. As the Official Worldwide Olympic Partner in the AR glasses category, the company represents the forefront of immersive technology. Its product portfolio features the AI-enhanced, full-color display X Series and the portable, large-screen Air Series, designed for versatility and high-quality viewing.
