Some say menopause is a time in a woman’s life that invites change for the better. In my case, menopause arrived like puberty’s wicked and obtrusive older sister - the decline in estrogen wreaked havoc on my hair, skin, and internal thermostat. Just what every woman wants and needs. 🙄
Once I’d hit my breaking point with it all, I decided to explore my options, and I’ll admit it was daunting at first. With so many symptoms to treat, wouldn’t it just be nice to just look and feel like myself again without having to use a dozen different products? That’s when Bonafide Health’s Silvessa® crept up on my radar. As a three-part system designed to restore my hair and skin from the inside and out, I was curious how its daily capsule, hair serum, and skin serum might help a woman out. I decided to give it a shot, but it had a tall order of problems to sort out for me… here’s how it panned out.
1. My hair was thinning and breaking worse than the postpartum days
I guess it was naive to think my hair loss days were behind me once I’d moved out from the postpartum phase. Once menopause made its grand entrance, I discovered the true meaning of hairline thinning and breakage. It was shockingly rapid, and more than just annoying, it wasn’t leaving me with a great deal of confidence.
Admittedly, I was a little skeptical about putting serum on my scalp daily, but when I actually applied the Silvessa® Strengthening Hair Serum to my roots, I found it absorbed quickly and didn’t leave a trace of greasiness. Made with biotin, silicon, and other restorative ingredients, it aims to visibly increase hair volume, thickness, and growth, while boosting shine and strength. To my astonishment, the routine was easy to keep up with, and after 30 days, I found my hair had become shinier, and spots where I noticed some recession had been growing fuller and thicker. Combined with the Nourishing Daily Capsule, my hair felt rejuvenated in a way I hadn’t seen in a long while.
2. My skin was on the express track to fine lines and wrinkles 
Some describe them as smile lines… I call them wrinkles. In addition to my decline in estrogen, collagen had appeared to leave right with it. Some mornings I’d wake up, look in the mirror, and wonder who this old lady looking back at me was. How was it possible I could get hit with this so quickly?
As part of the Silvessa® system, I started taking its Nourishing Daily Capsule, which is made with potent biotin and effectively absorbing silicon. Combined with a super protective antioxidant called phycocyanin, the formulation is designed to restore collagen, leading to more nourished hair and skin. I was also using the Hydrating Skin Serum, which aims to visibly reduce fine lines and wrinkles.
Then the weirdest thing happened: I found myself skipping steps in my makeup routine. My skin appeared brighter, smoother, and firmer, so I was relying less on tinted moisturizers. It also looked less sallow and sunken… I was gradually returning to my premenopausal self.
3. My skin was like a teenager in the Sahara Desert
Way to take me back decades (the wrong way), menopause. I struggled with acne as a teen, and in nature’s cruel twist of fate, I found myself prone to skin dryness and breakouts once again.
With my new BFF, Silvessa®’s Hydrating Skin Serum, my skin was feeling plump and nourished - perhaps more so than before I entered menopause. Its hyaluronic acid and essential vitamins quenched my thirsty skin and combated the dryness that tends to make my skin produce more oil. Since I started using Silvessa®, my skin’s texture feels smooth and even. I actually look forward to using it because it’s so lightweight and melts right in.
My Menopause Savior
At the end of the day, menopause is a raw deal for women - there’s enough to contend with between the hot flashes and changes in mood. I’d hit my threshold when it came for my hair and skin, so I cannot emphasize enough how good it feels to gain back some of the control here. I was able to unlock a three month supply of this three-part system for $91.65/month (that’s 46% off!), giving me time to see the best results. Frankly, this felt like a steal, and I appreciate that I can get any of the three components individually via a one-time purchase or subscription, just in case I run out of one a little sooner than expected. I have to say, there’s little doubt about it - Silvessa® is the best purchase I’ve made in a long time.
