Frequently Asked Questions

Vivéa® Skincare is specially developed for women navigating the skin changes that come with perimenopause and menopause—blending science-backed formulas with the power of New Zealand botanicals.

We combine high-quality natural ingredients with scientifically proven ingredients to support both skin and emotional well-being during this transformative phase.

Vivéa® is more than skincare: it's a nurturing embrace for women navigating the new and challenging stage of their lives.

Our products are developed for all skin types, but especially for skin during perimenopause and menopause - sensitive, dry, or reactive skin- but the Vivéa® range is gentle enough for all skin types.

Yes, our formulations are gentle, natural, and created with sensitive skin in mind. We avoid harsh chemicals and prioritise soothing, calming ingredients to care for delicate skin.

Our Cooling Day Gel Cream, Hand & Body Cooling Gel Cream, Cooling Mist and Cooling Night Gel Cream are specially formulated to provide instant relief from hot flushes, leaving your skin feeling cool, calm, and refreshed.

It is worth noting that this is not a hormone-based skincare, rather a soothing support.

Menopausal skin changes can begin during perimenopause, often as early as your 40s. It’s never too early (or too late) to start using products that support hormonal balance and comfort.

Absolutely. While our products are designed with the menopausal journey in mind, anyone can benefit from their natural, hydrating, and calming properties.

Vivéa® Skincare is thoughtfully formulated to support your skin through the unique changes of perimenopause and menopause—helping to relieve dryness and calm the feeling of heat. It leaves your skin feeling cool, refreshed, and ready to face the day with confidence.

While everyone’s skin is different, many notice a boost in hydration and comfort within the first week of consistent use.

Some Vivéa® products include fragrances, and some no fragrance at all.

We have been highly selective in choosing only those specifically developed for the unique needs of menopausal skin.

Our fragrances were designed by the French company Givaudan using advanced fragrance technologies that:

  • Contain low allergens to reduce the risk of irritation for sensitive, hormonally affected skin.
  • Are enriched with DreamScentz™, a technology that supports emotional well-being and restful sleep.
  • Are crafted with My Z-Biome™ to support a healthy skin microbiome during menopause.
  • Include VivaScentz™, promoting a positive emotional state and holistic well-being.

These carefully chosen scents don’t just smell beautiful: they play a functional role in enhancing comfort, balance, and quality of life during menopause

Our products are generally safe to use with other treatments, but we recommend checking with your healthcare provider or dermatologist if you’re on specific prescription skincare or medications.

Our formulas are over 90% natural, depending on the product. We prioritise clean, plant-based ingredients that are kind to the skin and safe for daily use.

Some include synthetic fragrances. However, the fragrances have been specifically selected and chosen for their specifically developed uniqueness for menopausal skin.

Yes, all Vivéa® products are 100% vegan-friendly and cruelty-free.

Our products are never tested on animals. We are committed to cruelty-free skincare and do not test any of our products or ingredients on animals.

Our products are proudly developed and made in New Zealand, using sustainable and ethically sourced ingredients sourced from renown local and global suppliers.
