Estriol Cream for Menopausal Women: Bioidentical Natural Vaginal Care for Dryness, Gentle Fast-Absorbing Refreshing Feel, 1oz 30-Day Supply

I’ve seen people talk about using estrogen creams on the face, and while I know that’s an off‑label use, I decided that this a fair value - especially compared to prescription creams - why not try it? I’m in the perimenopausal/post‑menopausal stage and have started noticing changes in my skin, including a patch of eczema under my eyes that flares in dry weather. Recently it became extremely dry and slightly cracked, even with light hydrocortisone use.With clean hands, I dipped my fingertip into the jar and lightly applied a tiny amount to the very dry area under each eye. This jar is newly opened and has only been used for facial skin so far—I’m careful about avoiding contamination.Pros:- The jar is gorgeous and heavy, with a raised kintsugi-esque gold accent that gives a “restorative” feel.- The cream/gel absorbs quickly.- No scent.- It worked for me: after one careful application, the skin was no longer scaly; this seemed to boost the effectiveness of my regular moisturizer.- A little goes a long way.Cons:- Even with a very small amount, it stung on the broken skin under my eye. I wouldn’t describe the sensation as “refreshing”—definitely not soothing.- I also tested it on a small scratch on my nose that had healed but left lighter, rough‑textured skin. It didn’t sting, but I wouldn’t recommend this approach. The entire scratch darkened slightly; the lighter center blended better, but the edges became darker. It’s a tradeoff, though I’m less self‑conscious about it now.Overall, I would recommend this cream. In my experience, it’s potent enough to help with certain skin issues—vaginal or otherwise—and it didn’t feel like a placebo. I would still use it sparingly, as I’m cautious about certifications I can’t personally verify. These are still chemicals, and even though this uses a gentler form of estrogen, it’s important to stay informed about potential side effects.
