CeraVe is currently <strong>the top-selling product across all subcategories<\/strong> in the Cosmetics category on Amazon Germany.<\/p>\n<p>And more importantly, CeraVe has built a powerful blueprint for how to expand successfully on Amazon\u2019s global marketplaces.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-204495\" src=\"https:\/\/www.similarweb.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/attachment-8-CeraVe-winning-on-Amazon-DE.png\" alt=\"CeraVe the number 1 skin care brand on Amazon DE\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.similarweb.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/attachment-8-CeraVe-winning-on-Amazon-DE.png 960w, https:\/\/www.similarweb.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/attachment-8-CeraVe-winning-on-Amazon-DE-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.similarweb.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/attachment-8-CeraVe-winning-on-Amazon-DE-768x432.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Not your typical beauty brand<\/h3>\n<p>What makes its success stand out even more is the fact that <strong>CeraVe is a dermatology-first brand<\/strong>.
