Key Insights
Key Takeaway
CeraVe appears in every single response that named a brand at all. It takes a top three position on all four engines and first place on three of them. La Roche-Posay is the consistent second and also reaches the top three everywhere. Below those two the engines diverge more sharply than in any category measured so far.
Top Brands Summary
CeraVe 11, La Roche-Posay 8, The Ordinary 6, Neutrogena 6, Vanicream 3, Paulas Choice 3, EltaMD 3. Nineteen brands across 54 mentions and eleven brand-bearing responses out of twelve. This is the first fully pinned measurement for this category, so no prior run comparison is offered.
