NEW YORK, March 17, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- CeraVe, the #1 dermatologist-recommended skincare brand in the United States1, hit the streets of New Orleans with some of social media's biggest dermatologists and top content creators like Avani Gregg, to launch the #21DaysofSPF Challenge. According to the American Academy of Dermatology2, exposure to UV rays is the most preventable risk factor when it comes to skin cancer, which is why dermatologists recommend using sunscreen every day. Since it is widely believed that committing for 21 days can help form a new habit, these skin experts and influential voices are joining CeraVe to help consumers make sunscreen application a daily habit for healthier skin.

Key Points:

The New Orleans takeover featured two of the internet's favorite truth-tellers, Dude with Sign and Dudette with Sign , who joined over 50 of social media's most-followed dermatologists for the parade in the French Quarter.
Starting at the historic Jackson Square, a float built with larger-than-life components reminded passersby to "WEAR SPF."
Along the way, dermatologists strutted the streets with fun signs featuring dermatologist-approved sun-safe skin advice to further amplify the moment.
This can be as simple as incorporating CeraVe's moisturizer with broad-spectrum SPF 30 into a skincare routine each morning."
