Re: estrogen face cream - estrasorb

January 8, 2008

Christa,

I bought some Ortho-Gynest cream (Estriol 0.01%) to use on my face and

I think it made me break out. I am now using part of my oestrogel

dose on my face (neck/backs of my hands) once a day just in case it

may help with skin aging. I use Retin-A gel at night most nights so

my skin is used to the alcohol base. I know that the Retin-A helps my

skin but I am not sure if the oestrogel does. I have been using some

sort of estrogen on my face for 1.75 years and Retin-A for at least 11

years. I hate to think about what my face would look like without all

of my skin potions.

I mix Retin-A 0.025%(pea size) and about three drops of estrasorb

cream and then apply it to my face nightly. It is a bit greasy but I

put it on pretty early in the evening so it has a chance to absorb. I

saw about the estrogen being applied to the face in one of my

dermatology books and thought I would give it a try. I had never seen

about it being mixed with Retin-A but my skin is very sensitive so I

used to mix it with a moisturizer but tried the estrasorb instead. BTW

estrasorb is estradio. Hope this helps.
