Estriol Cream for Face Wrinkles | PYHP 146

In this episode, we discuss a listener’s question about how to apply estriol to your face. ‘Connie’ is confused about whether she can use her Biest cream on her face. And she wanted to know the difference between estriol and Biest when it comes to treating menopausal symptoms.

We analyze Connie’s question into:

• Applying estriol to the face
• What is biest?
• What is estriol?
• What is the difference between estriol and biest?
• Applying estriol vaginally
• It is not a good idea to apply biest to vaginal tissues if you have a uterus

Connie’s Question:

“HI there, I loved your article on estriol for the face. I was prescribed an 80-20 bi-est cream for HRT. My question is, how is that different from a 0.3 estriol cream for the face like the kind My Alloy makes? Could I just use more of my Biest cream on my face? Would that be stronger than the My alloy 0.3 estriol cream? Lastly, the .3 estriol cream is not supposed to affect your overall hormone levels, but the Bi-est cream is supposed to affect your hormones and relieve symptoms of menopause. Why does one estriol work differently than the other? Thank you so much for any guidance you may be able to offer. It’s so hard figuring all of this out!”
