IS ESTROGEN CREAM GOOD FOR YOUR FACE?
I prescribe estradiol cream alone or with retinoids because it thickens skin, increases hydration, and stimulates collagen and elasticity.
✨️I use it myself a few nights a week, alternating with my Rx Fade Cream which has tretinoin .05%.
✨️Estradiol (and Estriol, another form of estrogen) addresses the changes we see in our skin as our body's hormone levels drop in our 40s & 50s (and some people even earlier).
✨️Be careful if you have melasma; and as with any Rx product, discuss with your doctor who is familiar with your skin and health.
