vanishing cream
Skin-absorbing cosmetic
Vanishing cream is a light cosmetic moisturizer that absorbs quickly into the skin, leaving no visible residue—hence "vanishing." Popular in the early-to-mid twentieth century as a daytime face cream, distinct from heavier cold creams used at night.
The term now sounds dated, replaced by modern moisturizer terminology.
