A substance that grants Invisibility when applied to something. Usually, it is invisible ink or vanishing cream, despite the fact these real-life items do not grant invisibility at all.
Alternatively, a character applies the substance on themself yet remains visible, but thinks they're invisible.
Often washing the substance off will restore visibility.
See also Invisible Writing for the correct use of invisible ink. Compare and contrast Invisibility Cloak.

Alphablocks has a variant where things get turned invisible on contact. It also averts Invisible Streaker, despite being a substance rather than a spell.

"Val's Vanishing Cream" in Cor!! (later Buster) was one of many IPC characters with the gimmick of "kid has a normal-looking item with superpowers". In this case, a tub of vanishing cream that made anything she covered invisible.

Looney Tunes:
In Water, Water Every Hare, Bugs Bunny turns himself invisible by pouring a bottle of 'vanishing fluid' over himself. After various hijinks, the Mad Scientist restores him to visibility by pouring a bottle of 'hare restorer' over him.
In "Cheese It, The Cat!", in order to sneak to the refrigerator to get a cupcake for a birthday party, Ralph Crumden covers Ed Morton in "invisible ink." It doesn't make Morton invisible, but as long as he thinks he is, he does not fear the cat. Morton gets the cupcake and eventually eats it, leaving no recourse but for Ralph to get another but not before he has Morton cover him with "invisible ink." Ralph can still be seen and when he goes out, the cat attacks him. And it's Ralph who calls Morton "a mental case!"
One Foghorn Leghorn cartoon has Fogie putting vanishing cream on Henery, then making him believe that he's invisible. Henery uses his "invisibility" to gang up on the Barnyard Dawg, but he's not convinced.

Muppets from Space: One of Bunsen's recent Muppet Labs inventions was a rubber ducky that released an invisibility spray when squeezed; Kermit and the gang uses this as a means to sneak into the Covnet facilities to rescue Gonzo, however, Fozzie washes his hands after using the bathroom, washing the spray away from his hands, leaving them to appear as a pair of floating hands. When the spray wears off shortly afterward, we see Fozzie was picking his nose, Piggy was chowing down on a bag of potato chips, and Pepe was dancing ballet in a tutu.

In a Season 1 episode of Smallville, a Freak of the Week uses a specialized oil that grants invisibility to human skin when applied. He describes creating it based on a mysterious green rose he discovered, implying that it was a biproduct of the meteor shower from the pilot episode.

In The Flintstones Season 3 episode "Invisible Barney", Fred has Barney drink a concoction he mixed up in his garage lab to get rid of his hiccups. While it does make Barney's hiccups go away, it also makes Barney do the same, as in, become invisible. Hilarity ensues, especially over at the bowling alley when a rival challenges Fred to a game, and Barney is "down at the pins" fixing the game in Fred's favor.

Zack feeling thirsty drinks some of the lemonade used for ink and ends up turning invisible himself. However he develops resistance to the lemon juice over time and keeps regaining visibility, forcing him to drink a higher dose of lemon juice with each instance.

Popeye:
In the Popeye short, "Ghosks Is the Bunk" (1939), Popeye covers himself and Olive Oyl with invisibility paint after discovering that Bluto is "haunting" the abandoned hotel.
In another cartoon, after Bluto pulls a bunch of spooky pranks on Olive and makes it look like Popeye was responsible, Popeye turns the tables by using Olive's vanishing cream to make himself invisible and give Bluto a scare of his own.
An Al Brodax cartoon has Wimpy making himself invisible with vanishing cream to escape Brutus' wrath. Popeye gets into the act to help Wimpy yank Brutus' chain.

Cow and Chicken: In "Invisible Cow", Red Guy sells what he claims to be invisible sauce to Cow, which she actually believes makes her invisible, so she frolics through town doing as she pleases, even though she's in plain sight of everyone else. In the end, Red Guy decides to sell fat sauce instead, which he uses on Chicken, and it actually works; Chicken then asks for some invisible himself so people won't see how fat he is, but Red can't find where he put it, since it's invisible.

One episode of Rugrats has Angelica cover herself in "vanishing cream" when it seems that Tommy and Chucky, who only had a little bit put on, were actually invisible. What she hadn't known was that Didi convinced Drew to essentially ignore Angelica when she starts doing bad because she was just trying to get attention. However, his ignoring worked a little too well and, when Angelica couldn't get the dried up make up off of her, she began fearing that she was forever stuck invisible. When Drew saw how much Angelica was remorseful for what she did, he dropped the act and took her home to get her cleaned up.

One episode of Futurama has the Professor invent a ray that turns ink invisible in order to rid Fry of an Embarrassing Tattoo. Unfortunately, it's even more painful than a regular laser removal. And then it happens to hit Zoidberg, who's soaked in his own ink, making him completely invisible, convenient as he was running from the Robot Mafia at the time.

Dr. Shark of The Non-Adventures of Wonderella can create invisible paint by pouring a can of any color paint into an empty paint can (under the "logic" that he's "dividing by zero"). They use it to repaint Wonderella's invisible jet after she drunkenly paints flames on it, destroying the stealth advantage.
