Estrogen cream for face is trending as an anti-aging treatment, but does it actually work—and is it safe? In this video, we break down what happens to your skin during perimenopause and menopause, how estrogen affects collagen, hydration, elasticity, and skin thickness, and the difference between estradiol and estriol.

We’ll also discuss the trend of using estrogen on your face, whether vaginal estrogen cream is appropriate for facial skin, why estriol may be a better option, and important considerations if you have melasma.

If you’re considering estrogen cream for face, talk with your healthcare provider about what’s appropriate for you and your medications.
