Re: estrogen face cream - estrasorb

[Guest guest]

For cleansing your face cetaphil cleanser is fantastic and really

cheap. It is a non soap liquid cleanser and works great. A

dermatoloigst told me about it 20+ years ago and still use it quite

often today. Love the stuff. You can use it with or without water.

It is made by Galderma Labs and can be found at grocery stores or

pharmacies.
