CeraVe, the L'Oréal-owned beauty brand, has emerged as one of the top-performing brands for influencer marketing in May thanks to a campaign starring former US basketball player Carmelo Anthony.

Patrick Ta also jumped six places to rank tenth in the list amid the social media backlash to his recent Transition Blush launch, which sparked widespread debate among social media.

CeraVe, which expanded into the hair category in 2024, rose 12 positions to place fourth thanks to its new anti-dandruff campaign driving views, according to influencer marketing platform Traackr’s Top Ten Beauty Brands list report for May.
