So many times I put on lotion and immediately want to wash my hands, because I just don’t like the greasy feeling. Not at all with this one. I could just go about my day.
Vivo Per Lei sent me their Dead Sea day cream to try. I like it, just not where I expected to. The Vivo Per Lei day cream sinks in fast with no grease, but the scent was a bit much on my face, so it ended up on my arms and legs.
Quick Verdict
- Buy it if: you want a moisturizer you can rub in and forget
- Skip it if: scented creams bother you
- My favorite feature: a three-way tie between soak-in speed, texture and smell
- Would I buy again? Yes, as a body cream
What’s in Vivo Per Lei day cream?
Dead Sea minerals, shea butter and sunflower seed oil. It’s made in a GMP certified facility and it’s dermatologist tested.
It’s called a cream, but nothing about it is thick. The texture is closer to a gel cream.

Who is Vivo Per Lei day cream for?
Someone who wants a quick everyday moisturizer that smells like something. If you’d rather skip the smell entirely, my review of the Good Molecules lightweight daily moisturizer covers an unscented one that isn’t greasy either.
If you’re after a seasonal smell, the Hempz winter lotions smell like winter all day.
Does it feel greasy on hands and face?
I started with a little on my hand. It was fully absorbed almost right away.
The next morning I tried it on my freshly washed face. Nice and smooth going on, and my face felt much more hydrated than before. How many times can I say nice?
But it’s a little more fragrance than I like on my face. Two months later, it lives with my body lotions instead.
Small things I noticed
- Tube size: a little big for a purse, but it’ll fit.
- Twist cap: it screws shut, so it won’t leak in a bag.
What I like about it
- The scent itself is pretty. It’s noticeable without being strong.
- It’s soothing going on.
What to know before you order
- It’s sold as a day cream, so using it from the neck down is my own call, not the directions.
- If your skin reacts to perfumes, try a small spot first.
Vivo Per Lei day cream questions

How much Vivo Per Lei day cream should you use?
A pea-sized amount covers your face and neck. Use less on oily or combination skin.
Does Vivo Per Lei day cream have parabens?
No. There are no parabens on the ingredient list. It does list fragrance.
How fast does Vivo Per Lei day cream soak in?
Under a minute, according to the listing. On the back of my hand it was gone almost right away.
A fragrance-free moisturizer to compare
- Vanicream Daily Facial Moisturizer: No fragrance, dye, essential oils or botanical extracts, with hyaluronic acid and five ceramides. It’s made for sensitive skin and works day or night.
My take on Vivo Per Lei day cream
I’d keep it around for arms and legs, and reach for something unscented above the neck.
