Re: estrogen face cream - estrasorb

[Guest guest]

Barb,

Thanks for sharing that with me. Did you have the option of getting

the .01% ? I will be ordering from the UK, the same place that I get

my Oestrogel. I can order either the .01 or the .025%. I am not

certain which one I will get.

Gail,

The 0.025% Retin-A gel is STRONG. I have some and even though I have

been using Reint-A for years it is hard for me to use this strength

every day. I do not know how to dilute it either because it is an

alcohol gel. I would suggest the 0.01 % gel instead.

the alcohol base is too strong and that is why I use the cream. It

works for me but you maybe can get a sample from your Dr. and see

what strength works for you. My dermatologist told me to use the

0.025% because is is not strong and told me to gradually increase

the days I use it. My advice is to try and be careful. Everyone

is different.

>to be honest I have used Retin-A gel at 0.1%that had microspheres

and that is four times stronger than the 0.025% so it was too harsh

on my skin. I have had mild rosacea in the past and have it so

under control with my little regimen. My doctor laughed when I

told him what I used and actually thought I got it from a compound-

ing pharmacist. I told him yea Barbara's compounding pharmacy.

Good luck. I had actually seen about the estrasorb in the book

Skin Type Solution by Baumann, MD (dermatologist) so thought

I would give it a try. Since I already was using Retin-A mixed

with a moisturizer thought it wouldn't hurt.
