FAQ

What does Vanishing Serum 5 help with?
It helps reduce redness and inflammation from acne and rosacea, improves the look of fine lines, melasma, and sun-related pigmentation, and helps prevent new dark spots.

Is it gentle enough for rosacea-prone skin?
Yes. It is formulated with 5% mandelic acid, one of the gentlest exfoliating acids, to help calm redness rather than trigger it.

How often should I use it?
Start a few times a week and build up as your skin tolerates it, or follow your esthetician's guidance.

Can I use it with Radiant Renewal A?
Not on the same night to start. Alternate nights so your skin isn't over-exfoliated.

Pure Magic!

I love how it feels on my skin! I love how gentle it is! And I love how glowing my skin is starting to be! Pure Magic in a bottle.

This serum is saving my skin!

This has to be one of the best skincare products i’ve tried. Even after a few uses, my skin feels so much smoother and many of my blemishes are going away / smoothing out. It’s a great addition to your skincare routine! When paired with sunscreen, balancing cleanser, and moisturizer, it creates a powerful combo. I really swear by this serum. Perfect addition! Works well for my slightly oily skin. :-)

This works so well with keeping my skin from being congested

This works so well with keeping my skin from being congested. It also makes my acne marks that I apparently did not leave alone disappear. (Don’t mess with your bumps). I us in the morning with my routine provided by Sylvia all virtually and it is a must havefor keeping my skin looking fabulous.

Clear Skin

I’m not usually prone to acne, but occasionally I’d have a pimple here or there. When that happened it annoyed me! I was so used to having flawless skin. Literally since I was a child. I talked to Sylvia and started using this serum. Works beautifully and those mini breakouts finally stopped! I have clear skin 24/7 🥰

A game changer for my skin

This product has been apart of my skin care routine for years now. It has totally changed the texture and appearance of my skin. I've tried many products over the years and nothing else seriously compares. Highly recommend!
