Estriol+ Face Cream
A moisture-rich cream that firms, plumps, and brightens skin while smoothing fine lines and reducing pore size.
How
Estriol+ Face Cream
works:
What to expect
As estrogen levels drop during the menopause transition, your skin loses collagen, elastin, and lubrication, leading to thinning, sagging, and wrinkles along with drier, flakier skin.
Topical use of estrogen has been shown to improve collagen and elastin levels in menopausal women, as well as moisturizing the skin. When applied to the face, estriol can help minimize fine lines, plump and tighten skin. This formulation also contains hyaluronic acid and DMAE. Hyaluronic acid adds an extra boost of moisture while DMAE brightens and evens skin tone.
Estriol (E3) is the weakest of the three estrogen hormones. It does not increase the level of hormones circulating throughout your body when used topically, making it a safe option for most women.
