I'm really not the type of person to get swept up in beauty sales hype. During a time when beauty brands are launching left, right and centre, I try to make considered purchases. Not only save space on my bathroom shelf but also to prevent skin irritation that can come from trying too many products at once. But trust me—when I heard that CeraVe was in Amazon's Early Access Sale, I wanted in.
What's so special about CeraVe, I hear you ask? Not only is this skincare brand loved and recommended by just about every dermatologist that I've spoken to, but it's also loved by beauty editors too. The formulas are very effective and well-formulated, and CeraVe is also seriously affordable. Everything comes in under £16, so it's one of the more affordable skincare brands out there.
I personally love CeraVe because it is gentle, fragrance-free and affordable. I religiously use CeraVe's SA Smoothing Cleanser, which helps to keep my acne-prone yet sensitive skin blemish-free and balanced. And whenever I've had an eczema flare on my face or eyelids, I always reach for the Eye Repair Cream and Moisturising Cream (top tip: buy the bigger tub—it will last you forever).
If you're looking to stock up on the best CeraVe products, then now is the time during Amazon's sale. Below, I've detailed some of my favourite products that I'm considering adding to my basket.
The Best Amazon Sale CeraVe Products
Savings: £1
This cleanser is my ride-or-die. The gel consistency gently cleanses the skin to remove excess oil and grime from the day. I'd use this as my second cleanser after using something more heavy-duty to take off my makeup. It contains salicylic acid to help clear and prevent breakouts while hyaluronic acid and ceramides help to hydrate and fortify the skin's barrier. It's also fragrance-free and super gentle, so it's ideal for sensitive skin too.
Savings: £4
I always have a tube of CeraVe's Eye Repair Cream on my bedside. It has a really hydrating and nourishing formula of hydrating hyaluronic acid, nourishing ceramides and niacinamide to help soothe compromised skin. I'm often prone to irritation on my eyelids, but this soothes and helps to clear flare-ups.
Savings: £3
If you have dry skin and are looking for a cleanser that gives more nourishment, then you won't be disappointed by this. This cleanser is oil-based, so it does a great job of removing makeup without leaving the skin feeling stripped. It contains ceramides, glycerin, hyaluronic acid, triglyceride and squalane, which intensely hydrate and leave the skin soft.
Savings: £2
Want a dependable yet effective day-to-day moisturiser? This is it. The hydrating formula leaves skin feeling comfortable and is lightweight enough to wear underneath makeup. Like many products of CeraVe's, it contains ceramides, niacinamide and vitamin E which help protect and reinforce the skin's barrier, which can become compromised during cold weather. It also has the addition of SPF 50. While I would still opt for a dedicated SPF underneath this, it's great knowing this offers another line of defence against UV damage.
Savings: £8
I think everyone should own this product. The Moisturising Cream comes in three different sizes, but I always opt for the tub because it will honestly last you for ages. It works well as a face moisturiser if you're dry or sensitive, although if you're on the oiler side you may find this too a tad too heavy for your skin type. I personally love this as a daily body lotion to really lock in moisture.
Savings: £2
A micellar water is always useful to have in your skincare arsenal. This one is ideal for removing heavier makeup or stubborn mascara before going in with a second cleanser that is suited to your skin type. This really makes taking off makeup a breeze and it won't irritate sensitive skin.
Savings: £7
This is one of CeraVe's latest products, and it's one I'm adding to my basket. Retinol is one of the few proven skincare ingredients to help address signs of ageing such as lines and wrinkles, as well as improve scarring and the appearance of pores. At £12, this really is a steal.
Savings: £6
I'm also adding this hydrating hyaluronic acid serum to my basket, and everyone can benefit from a hydrating serum in their routine. You really don't need to spend a fortune on hyaluronic acid, as it's a relatively cheap ingredient to formulate, so this is at a great price point.
Savings: £2
If you experience bumps on the back of your arms (keratosis pilaris, which is often referred to as "chicken skin"), this is due to hair follicles becoming blocked with a build-up of keratin. While you might believe that a body scrub is the course of action, what you actually want to use is an acid-based moisturiser. This smoothing cream helps to nibble away at buildup and rough skin to leave limbs feeling smooth and soft.
Savings: £2
If you prefer a cleanser that has a bit of foaming action, but you hate the feeling of ones that leave your skin feeling tight and irritated, then try this. It gently foams and has a really hydrating formula to leave skin cleansed yet comfortable.
Savings: £3
We may be heading into boots season, but that's no reason to neglect your feet. This cream contains salicylic acid which chemically buffs away dry skin and cracks, leaving feet silky soft.
Savings: £1
Hand cream is an absolute must for this time of year, as the combination of cold weather and central heating can sap moisture from the skin. A nourishing hand balm will help to lock moisture in and prevent chapping. I'm adding two to my basket—one for my bag and one for my bedside table.
