Using estrogen vaginal cream on your face

[Anonymous]

I’ve read that it’s good for your skin. I tried a little and now I have huge acne spots.

Anyone else?

Topical estrogen can be good for your face, but the vaginal varieties aren’t proper cosmetic formulations for your face. If you want to try facial estrogen creams there are online stores/doctors that specialize in them.

So, I read that people have good results applying vaginal estrogen cream to their face. Sometimes I look in the mirror and wonder how I got this old! I’m currently taking 10 mcg imvexxy inserts, .05 estrogen patch (plus progesterone and recently added testosterone!) so, can I add the cream too? Or is too much estrogen? Wondering if the doctor would even add it in to my existing prescriptions.

What are others doing? Just curious…

I've read it does nothing. The Musely ads are ridiculous, side-by-sides with very different lighting and expressions.

Why would you do this?

Supposed to improve lines, wrinkles, overall texture. If true, why wouldn’t you??

Derm prescribed it. Works well.

Yeah I worry about acne flaring up if I were to use the estradiol on my face.

Don’t ask here. Ask your prescribing gynecologist. Mine used to say it was fine but says recent research says it’s not safe.

Will it fix my smokers wrinkles on my upper lip?
I never smoked but got those wrinkles. My resting b@tch face must have had pursed lips. 🥺

Why not swipe hemorrhoid wipes on your neck and chest, too? Use hair product on your elbows. Corn remover pads on your freckles. Don't put pu$$y products on your face.

Actually phenylephrine (a vasoconstrictor) is great under the eyes to shrink eye bags. Hair product on elbows—not sure it would do anything but don’t see the problem either? Corn remover pads are too harsh for the face but the active ingredient, salicylic acid, is the same as that in acne creams (just a much stronger concentration). And estrogen is used by every cell in your body. Products designed for application on mucous membranes are typically very mild so “pu$$y” (why not say vaginal?) products are likely completely fine for the face.

Please don't.
