vaginal estrogen cream 2 x weekly is an alternative to oral estrogen for those of us who cannot tolerate side effects of oral estrogen (dry eyes). I stopped running in 2017 and switched over to hiking and cross-country skiing. Your videos are always thoughtfully done and well-researched. I really appreciated your honesty on the facial fat loss that you experienced and your journey with sculptra and lamuna. I added bone broth and full-fat yogurt to my diet which area helping me. I have juvederm done very sparingly. At 53 and slim frame, I also struggled with facial aging. I will consider laluma in the future as a more natural biostimulator. Your calm peaceful manner and honesty are very refreshing!
Hi Jill, thank you so much for your lovely and thoughtful comment and for sharing a bit about yourself! I am really happy you are here and am glad you have found some lifestyle and diet adaptations helpful. Sending a big hug your way and wishing you a wonderful Sunday
May I know why you would take oral estrogen? It increases the risks of blood clots administered this way. Patches are the safest. That said, I am very sensitive to estrogen and even very low dose turns me into zombie with brain fog and body jitters. I am so not ready to get back to trying it again.
@@wem-c9f seems like low estrogen would cause the foggy mind etc. I find for me that’s what has happened along with sleep disturbance but I started taking magnesium Glycinate which has helped a lot.
I just placed my first order with Alloy for their M4 cream. I have been on BioTE estradiol and testosterone (subcutaneous) for 2 years now and what a difference it has made! I feel human again. Can’t wait to see if the estrogen cream helps with the condition of my skin!
Hi Michelle, I’m so glad to hear that you’re doing well. I’m home on replacement therapy. Please keep me posted on how you do with this particular cream. x
@@Bexiboo. I take oral progesterone before bed. I had a hysterectomy and my regular OB/GYN said I didn’t need progesterone….but we still do even when there’s no uterus!
I use a very low dose of estradiol in a patch on my abdomen, which I replace twice a week. I also contacted Alloy at Penn Smith’s suggestion. They agreed that I would benefit from an estrogen cream. I have not noticed any improvement in wrinkles (yet), after three months, but my skin is less sensitive and less reactive. That alone tells me that my skin density has improved, even if it is not visible to the naked eye.
I think there are definitely different reasons for sensitive skin and in your case it might not yet be low estrogen. But it is worth a try and if you do, please keep us posted x
You are incredible person. I was searching the whole internet for this information. I live in Europe and here it’s difficult to get HRT because doctors are so unwilling to prescribe hormones. Thank you 🙏
Hi Natalia, thank you for your kind comment. May I ask where in Europe you live? It is sad that doctors are still so behind, not just in Europe, but really all over the world. But hopefully we can find someone who can help you x
I'm 52 & I use the same estradiol cream my Dr prescribed me for menopause on my face. I mix it w/ a little of my SUKOYAKA SUHADA toner so that it's easier to spread. It really makes a huge difference in the quality of my skin & It's covered by my insurance :-) I've also found it makes my skin must less reactive to tretinoin & my skin recovers faster when I microneedle or use a peel. My sister started doing the same & she was able to ramp up her tret from 2 x a week to everyday in a month without any of the negative skin reactions I had when I first started tret 3 years ago.
@@MyBiddie That's way too much abuse on the face. Micro needling is invasive and not necessary. Good skincare products have micro vesicular penetration without any needles needed. Try CeraVe
As always, an incredibly informative and detailed video on a subject sensitive and yet Highly Important for us women. Its RUclipsrs as yourself and a few others, that do the research, read the case studies, try out the products, that make it easier for those of us who Don't have the resources, insurance or what have you (the Doctors willing to speak on Menopause, Estrogen and options). Instead of just leaving us blindly to feel scared, confused or insecure where to go or what to ask. I'm 30 and I too will one day need to know all this and I PERSONALLY THANK YOU Ms Claudia ❤❤❤ thank you for creating and sharing such wonderful videos.
Thank you for your very kind and thoughtful comment Angela! I am really glad this was helpful. And I hope many more will have these important conversations. We women deserve to know what options are available for us, without being fear mongered. xo
Yes. I use prescription estrogen cream on my face. I noticed a beautiful difference in firmness after about 3 months. That said, I DO get my period waaayyyyyy to early now and I am 51 and was beginning to enter menopause - with the evidence being 3 or so months between each period..... So, there is that....
Great video! I don’t use an estrogen cream on my face but have been considering myalloy for awhile. I use an estrogen cream on my thigh daily-love it and have noticed tiny freckles from sun I had in that area have disappeared.
I have been on HRT since 36, Now 43 and it's been amazing for me. I had pmdd, Subclinical hyperthyroidism and osteopenia so I feel estrogen is vital for my bones and mental health.I use transdermal gel Estradiol and just started Estriol on my face and after a month I can see a difference. I use the vaginal estrogen cream on my face. People often say I look late twenties, I think I look 36 lol But also I've never got a tan and worn spf 50 since age 26. Also green tea daily and I gave up alcohol 17 months ago and my wrinkles diminished just from giving up alcohol and I lost 2 inches off my waist. Here in the UK it is hard to get hormones and I first went private for my prescription.
As always educational. I think the key outcome must be a visible result. I also feel that when the routine includes everything, including kitchen sink, its not clear what is working and what is a waste of dollars. My advise to you: less is more. In my case I have a set routine for AM and PM and it works for me, mainly I use Retin A, Vitamin C and peptides. When I try to be creative and add more steps I hardly see any difference. The proven power horse in any routine is a Retinoid. So why spend money and risk ruining your skin barrier? I believe stay with a routine that works and save money for a plastic surgery, and outcome will be apparent, than back to routine. That is also what any good plastic surgeon will tell you to do.
Hi Helen, thank you for bring here I agree, using too much is not necessarily a good thing and often a waste of money Have actually reduced what I use and for the most part stay with what is backed by science But I also like to try some new things here and there :) xx
Thank you so much for this video Claudia! I have been saving a little of my topical estrogen cream that i use on body and applying to face every day. So excited to hear about this product and can't wait to get started on it!
Update- I have now been using the My Alloy face estrogen cream for almost 2 months. I LOVE how my skin looks, however, i am experiencing some side effects. So, there is definitely uptake that is happening to the body, even if it does not show in bloodwork. We will see when i have my next saliva test what is going on. I do use Biest cream on my body and adding this face cream has disrupted the balance of my hormones. I will have to work with my dr. to figure out if i want to continue on the face cream. But, it definitely works for firming and plumping the skin. My skin looked good before, but it really looks great now.
I have been using Alloy's estrogen cream for about 3 months. I, like you, haven't noticed too much difference. However, my skin looks great, but I do use tretinoin and vitamin c as well. I will definitely give the glycolic cream 15% a shot. Thank you, Claudia ❤
Hi Deb, glad to hear you are already using this. It is so hard to say what does what, but I do believe often it is just the right combination of things. Please keep us posted on how you do combining it with Glycolic acid. And I would say go slow with it. 15% is quite strong xx
Timely! Finishing first batch. Like my alloy. But already on HRT and I believe this caused some spotting. I get the studies but as soon as I backed off, it stopped. As for results, like Claudia. It’s hard to say but I trust the studies
You were told that from MyAlloy or through a doc for HRT? I've had it before and gone through all the tests, at one point I even got a biopsy. All has been normal, just find that I am super sensitive to changes. BUT I confess, I mistakenly thought I was supposed to do 2 full pumps, and then I read ONE! duh. I'm fine now. @@juliafusco6430
Hi Claudia Thanks so much for this information. The company called Life Extension has an Estriol Care cream .75mg but don’t know how that would compare to the .3% estriol in Alloy. The Estriol Care cream is so reasonably priced. It is supposed to be used on body but I found a report that says you can use it on the face. You can get it for $17.00! So many people can’t afford $150.00 for Alloy or Musely. Could you look in to this product and do a comparison?
I’m 61 and just started facial estrogen cream plus topical estrogen/progesterone cream about a month ago. I definitely see an improvement in moisture content in my face and am hoping the dark spots don’t worsen as that can happen. I use spf 50 daily on my face and neck. I went through an online service, Musely, so pay out of pocket.
Thank you for all your videos. They are always so informative and backed by studies! I'm learning a lot from you. I never knew there was an estrogen-based moisturizer! This is wonderful news. Again, thanks so much. 🙏
Hi, I am really happy you were here! Thank you for your very kind comment. Wishing you a wonderful rest of your week and looking forward to connecting with you more and a future videos x
Claudia, thank you so much for this informative video. I too had seen Penn Smith’s video about My Alloy and was curious. I haven’t had the money lately to buy the cream but hopefully will soon. The information you provided about the percentages is extremely helpful!
Hi Carol, I’m really glad it was helpful. Yes, this cream is unfortunate, quite expensive, but hopefully you can find a cheap alternative. If you do, please keep us posted x
Hi Elisabeth, your comment put a smile on my face, thank you! I appreciate all your love and support and am really glad you are part of this little youtube family x
I’ve been reading Heather Hirsch’s book “Unlock Your Menopause Type: Personalized Treatments, the Last Word on Hormones, and Remedies that Work” it’s a great read, and she’s clear about the fact that topical estrogen doesn’t lead to increased systemic levels. I’ve often wondered about estrogen for antiaging/skincare as it’s used for vaginal skin health. Thank you for sharing & disseminating the research studies you’ve found. Great informative topical estrogen chat. 😊
Hi gorgeous, that sounds like a great read. I do think that topical estrogen leads to increased systemic levels, as in my case using transdermal HRT, but again, it depends on the dose and the dose used for vaginal or facial rejuvenation s very low Wishing you a great rest of your week xo
There is a study on pubmed that says putting it on your face did not increase blood levels in study participants. I am wondering if it only has systemic affects if it’s used on certain parts of the body?
Merci pour ta gentillesse et pour ton savoir. Moi j' utilise gelistrol une fois par semaine sur le visage. Je dois de nouveau regarder ta vidéo sur le bleu de metylene, pour voir comment tu le met. Merci et encore merci. Tu es adorable
Bonjour Annie, thank you for your lovely comment. Glad to hear you are already using estrogen cream on your face. As far as the MB, I just mixed a couple of drops of MB liquid in a 250ml face mist. It is just what I do, and you might actually want to use less. Please keep us posted xx
Women whom have their menses should NOT do that especially a week before their period. It depletes the Progesterone which declines very quickly in your mid 30s..
This is great info. Thanks so much. The Alloy one is a tad expensive and I'm trying to eliminate products costing more than $100 from my routine, but I will try a less expensive product and try to get up to the .03% estriol daily that way. If that doesn't make any difference after a couple bottles, I'll definitely give the Alloy a shot and see if a single bottle will make a difference. I'm definitely looking for something to replace my One Skin now that I'm getting to the end of my 3rd bottle of that. It also lasts 2-3 months, but I just can't justify that expense for minor improvement when I'm already on tretinoin, vit-C and glycolic acid and have pretty smooth skin already.
Hi, thank you for your kind words. I hope you will get great results with this approach. Please keep us posted. I can totally understand wanting to cut down on cost. If I ever added up how much I spent on skincare, I think I would faint :). xx
This is funny...I have been using Estradiol for years! I often thought "can you use this on your face?" You really can?? P.S. every time I see you you look better and younger. Your eyes are beautiful!
Thank you for your very lovely comment Lori! And yes, you really can :). If you end up using your estradiol on your face, please keep us posted on how it goes. Wishing you a wonderful week x
Claudia thank you again for such helpful information. Sometimes I wish I would live in USA instead of Uk 😊. A lot of the time we can’t get the products here , unfortunately x
Hi Nina, I hear you. It is difficult to get certain things in Europe as well. I feel very lucky to have the best of both worlds as I have an American address as well. But maybe you can find something similar in the UK? x
Be careful what you wish for… Our food supply is garbage. They allow all kinds of colorings and additives into mainstream products that are banned in Europe and the UK.😉
I’m nearly 55 and have been on estrogen and progesterone since my 20’s. I wonder if that’s partly why people always tell me I look younger. Interesting.
Hi Claudia, so nice to see you! Thank you so much for another great informative video! I love that I always learn something from you. I will definitely look into getting some estrogen in my skin cream. Thanks again!
Salut mon ami. You have been in my thoughts and I hope that things are as well as they can be. When you have the head for it, lets catch up. Thank you for your kind words xo
I used Nivea body cream also on my face & neck until 70 then began using micro current, RF and LED devices with home made serums A,B,C & E vitamins followed by Aldi's cheap day & night creams voila, results!! I was a sun worshipper too using only coconut oil rather than having SPF chemicals burning on my face and body. Guess we're all different so it's good to find what works for you, usually by trial and error!!!
Hi Claudia, thanks for the this amazing video! I was wondering what glycolic acid cream you used. I live in Europe; so I would love to hear if you have a recommendation which you found worked well. Thanks so much!
Hi Nicola, thank you for your kind words! You know, I could not really find one in Europe that I liked, so I use Skinbetter Science But, you could try the Ordinary timer, which is AHA’s and quite inexpensive. Or depending on your country you might have wine really good glycolic acid serums or creams
Okay I am 75….so what are your thoughts on using the estrogen cream? I am not happy about losing elasticity everywhere!! I am not asking for medical advice just your thoughts. You are not a doctor but you study this information more than most doctors!!
Hi, I would say it is worth a try. It might take a bit longer to see results, but I would think that your skin, having estrogen receptors all over, would still respond. You could try combining it with glycolic acid if your skin can handle it, to get better results Please keep us posted xx
Hi Claudia, just this week I ordered estriol cream for my face so was excited to see this video. Great information. Not sure what percentage for this cream but was doing some research and it said estriol comes in the .03 % you mentioned. I did email the company to find out more so hoping they answer. The one you are using sounds wonderful, but pricey. Would love to try it though. I was reading that the efficacy of the estriol on the same area without rotation to other areas negates its absorption. Do you know have any information on this? The one I just started is from SMNutrition Estro-life bought it from amazon recommended by Gorgeously Aging YT...
Hi Annie, great to hear from you. As far as the cream you have, you want 0.3% estriol, which I am assuming yours is, as 0.03% estriol is really super low. I believe the rotating refers to HRT and actually wanting to raise systemic levels. But for the face, I would not worry about it. Yes, the one I use it unfortunately not cheap. I do really like it though and it does last for 3 months (or actually a bit longer). But I will also try to find some other alternatives down the road xx
@@claudiaglows The one she mentioned doesn't actually say it is .03% In fact, it says there are 175mg per 3.5 ounce container. That actually works out to be a 0.18% estriol formulation. So seems instead of using the recommended 1 pump once per day, the person could just use morning and night. So may be effective product.
I bought the same cream and was enjoying it the first week, realizing I was not having any adverse reactions to it. After watching this video, I went back on Amazon to get a better look at the dosage and percentage conversions, where I found out through reading reviews that it actually contains parabens :-( I was so disappointed with this because it is a great price and my skin tolerated it well, but I am going to have to return it
The only cream containing estrogen that I found where I live is conjugated estrogens. Not sure if I should try it. Also, I read that you should always balance estrogen out with progesterone, otherwise it would thicken the uterus lining. Could you let me know what you think dear Claudia and thank you for the valuable informative video as always!
Hi, I think if the % of the creams is ok, you could give it a try. As far as progesterone, this is when it has a systemic affect. To my knowledge we do not have to worry about combining the two when a small amount is used on the face
Bionatural hormone creams have been part of my routine for a while now. I'm 50 years old with no signs of perimenopause and I use progesterone cream in the evening every day, pregnenolone cream in the morning, estogen cream most of the days and dhea cream some days. Once a year I check my hormone levels, especially to keep an ey on dhea/testosteron.
I'm always exited when you upload a video!!! You had mentioned this in another video and I had my pharmacist make me a cream with 0.03% estradiol. Since than I'm on my third bottle and I love the cream!! I don't know if it actually does something but I will go on using it. Is it OK that it is 0.03 estradiol? Should I tell them it should be 0.01%? Thank you for everything!!! Love you ❤❤❤!!!
Hey Claudia, love love love this diligent video, filled with information ! Thank you so much, i will look into Alloy , thank you also for answering my questions on the topical to the face versus systemic estrogen with Estradiol creams for HRT. Sending you a big hug XXX
I might be able too. Let me get back to you on Saturday. Sam just had surgery yesterday. I just picked her up and she is still pretty out of it. But hopefully every day will be a bit better x@@katherineb9
Hi, Thanks again for another informative video. I just ordered some. Hopefully it works. Thanks again for all of the amazing information. By the way, You really do GLOW🌟
Thanks for being honest. I thank God for truth. I use estrogen and progesterone. I put myself on it in UK they have it in creams and over here most women can't talk to anyone. (USA)
Hi, thank you for your lovely comment ❤️ As far as the lip lines, unfortunately they are stool there, but I put a tiny bit of Botox in them to soften them x
@@claudiaglows I’m constantly surprised by what Botox can do. I saw a cosmetic dermatologist for a consult to treat my elderly looking chin and she recommended Botox! I was like what?! I’m not sure that’s what I’ll do yet, though. I so wish they had Lanluma here! You’re going to be super disappointed when you find out how few treatments America’s has compared to Europe. Are you still moving to ÇA when hubs goes to Africa?
@@claudiaglows Hi Claudia. Great video and I've been using .3 estriol not consistently but am now wondering if I should try estradiol which is much stronger and apparently safe. Have you ever considered that? Another question: how long did the Botox in you lip lines last? Thank you as always.
Hi beautiful. I had to rewatch this video because I was hoping you explained how to use the estrogen cream with a retinol and other serums. Can yo suggest how to layer all you skincare products with the estrogen face cream. Thanks. Love you 😘
Hi Carol, sorry I didn’t talk about that in this video. I have shown in several videos how I’d personally use this lotion. I use my Tretinoin first and then put this lotion on top, and then lastly a moisturizer. I know some people like to use it before Tretinoin, I honestly don’t think it makes a difference which way around I hope this helps, lots of love to you ❤️
Hi Claudia, very timely and useful video thank you. Couple of questions if I may, what glycolic acid product do you use? What HRT products do you use? Thanks 🥰
Hi, glad this was helpful. I actually just this week posted my full evening and morning skincare routine, which you might find helpful. In it I show the two forms of glycolic acid I use and talk about how I use them. And I use an HRT called the Wiley protocol. I actually have several videos with my prescribing doctor you might also enjoy x
Hi beautiful as usual you are doing such an amazing job on these kind of complicated subjects🙌🙌🙌🙏🙏🙏 so i personally dont use any hormone therapies. I am about a year into pre or menopause, i still so green. Now i take a lot of different supplements. I use turkey tail mushrooms and some other mushrooms, but i am not sure if because of those, or /and since i added to my regiment, horsetail supplements, i dont have any symptoms anymore. Its not that i really had to begin, well i had for awhile little bit warmness , maybe once in awhile sweating, but Macca was helping me. But now if i take Macca , i take only 1-2 capsules per day and not 8-10 , as used them as needed. So i dont know yet what i am going to do about all these hormones. I was against , but now i am not sure and since i dont have any symptoms, i am kind of not thinking about it, for now. I am looking to get done some regenerative health treatments. I was looking for places, who does PRP or stem cells, for my hubby. He just has so much inflammation/ pain that never ends. So we did some researches, and find out, that it was some therapies, that should have been addressed by medical community. There are some protocols, that never was told to us. Ah its such a letdown, so now we are looking anything and everything, what could be done, to improve him. Because until we get the new system in- Gesara/ Nesara, med beds will not be accessible. So we have to be proactive …. So when i was looking for different procedures, i stumbled up, on this amazing medical spa, that i am so interested. Even if he doesnt. Its great to get some bio stimulators , for our skin, but i think it would work better, and would help with overall body aging, from inside out. I didnt know, that there is av this advanced ozone therapy, that filtrates your blood with oxygen and ozone and red light…., also all these iv drips for NAD and methyl blue and glutathione, when there is some other very interesting therapies. I cant wait , to get my investment, to the level, that i will get great profits, so i could take care not just about my face , but my body as well. ..,I know you are using supplements, but i think iv is much more powerful, and its not so expensive, and probably in Europe its even cheaper 😜Have a blessed day🙏❤️
Hi gorgeous, I love how you are always looking for new ways to stay as healthy and vibrant as possible. There are luckily so many options now. And I do think that well aging is a multi solution approach. I am sorry to hear that you are running into so many problems with your husbands care, but I know you will not give up. Sending you a big hug xx
Claudia, just one question if you could clarify, what percentage of estradiol does your topical HRT cream contain? Also, does it also include a small percentage testosterone? I’m so excited about trying estrogen cream and am going to pursue My Alloy ! Thank you for your informative video 😊
Hi Melissa, I tried to figure that out myself but am not sure. I want to say it contains 1% estradiol, but I am not certain. I take testosterone seperatly. I hope you will get great results with this cream, please keep us posted x
Hi Julia, I actually say in this video that they unfortunately only send to the US. But I also say what to look for to find a cream where you live x@@jujuba9277
Great video Claudia. I'm in the UK and can't seem to find any estriol face cream here. I think some creams use phyto estrogen but I'm not sure if these are as effective?
Hi Michelle, I think that if at the right percentage, phyto estrogens could be beneficial as well. Might be worth a try. I know that some women also use vaginal estrogen on their faces. I have not tried that, but it seems to work for some x
I'm so confused. If oestrogen cream is used to replace hormones through our skin surely rubbing that on your face and getting it onto your hands it will affect any oestrogen levels within our bodies??
I think gaining some weight may help too. Anyway, you look gorgeous Claudia. You are blessed with beautiful features that will stand out even at 80, regardless of the wrinkles that may or may not come.
Great video Claudia ! Do you use this cream before or after your Retin A application ? It sounds like this may be a viable addition to a skincare routine . I may ask my pharmacist if he can make up this cream combination . Informative as always hope your week is blessed 🩵
Hi Sue, glad you enjoyed this. Yes, I use it after my Retin A. They say to apply it after serums and it can be used as your moisturiser. I hope your pharmacist can mix you up a great concussion. Please keep us posted on how you like it Wishing you a beautiful day and wonderful weekend xx
I’ve used .01 estradiol cream for a couple of years since I hit menopause I use it on my inner thighs and of course it helps several things including it helps me sleep better and so on as far as applied topically to my face and neck because I use tretinoin four nights a week and then one night a week I derma roll that only leaves me one night maybe two at best with the estradiol cream and so I’m not sure that it is helping my skin. I think it does help but I don’t think it firms my skin because I don’t use it every night. I am interested in maybe using a stronger version of it. Not sure if my doctor will provide a an RX for that, but certainly is worth asking for what do you think in terms of using one on your face that is stronger than .01 estradiol? Great video Claudia💎
Hi Savvy, it is great to hear from you! I actually combined my estrogen cream with my treat, annoying nightly without any problems. I don’t know if you have traded, but if not, it might be worth a try. xx
@@claudiaglows it’s great to be back on your channel, I was of yt for a bit on vacay. I swear Claudia everytime I jump back on here you look younger! So, I’m definitely going to try mixing my estradiol with my tretinoin. Thank you doll, hope you are doing well!!
Great news! Thank u so much for this video. I purchased estriol cream and want to start using it on face and neck but worried because I have nodules and hashimoto. Is it safe to applaud on the neck?
Hi Claudia. I recently found your channel and have been binge watching them. I commented on an older MN RUclips but wanted to add a comment here as well in case you don’t go back and review older videos. Would you say the Derminator 2 is more effective than the Dr Pens? I’m aware of the poor customer service they sometimes provide US customers but am willing to risk it if it’s a better product. Thanks so much !! You are the only person I’ve found who has tried them both.
Hi, I’m really happy you were here. I hope that I answered your comment under the all the video. Are usually try to answer all comments. As far as the Derminator compared to the dr pen, I wouldn’t necessarily say more effective. I think if you use both of them correctly, the equally effective. But I think many people use the.dr pen incorrectly by dragging it across the skin, which, in my opinion is not a good idea I do have a really hard time recommending the Derminator at this point, because of the horrendous customer service. But if that is not something you’re worried about, it is a great device.
Thank you so much for taking time to reply to me. It sounds like there is not much difference to you in terms of effectiveness so I will probably just go with the Dr Pen as it is easier for me to get and get more cartridges etc for. I do plan to use the stamp method! I had decided that on my own and when I searched for people that do this method you came up which is how I found you. Thanks again
Of course! I think that is a good choice. Esp if you are going to be stamping. It is a bit difficult to stamp with the derminator. I still have the derminator, but since I have the Dr Pen have only used the Dr Pen. And I think you will be happy with either the M8 or A6s. I like both of them. They also have a new one, I believe it is called M8s, which I have not tried, but it has a few upgrades which are need. If you want to you can use my code, which will work on any of them and also on cartridges. Please keep me posted on how you like it. And if you need more help, please never hesitate to reach out x@@ampenn11able
thank you@@claudiaglows I will see if I can figure out how to use the code for cartridges...I have already ordered the M8 but was considering returning it for the Derminator after seeing some people say it was better than m8. But now I feel good with my original choice after hearing your input. Thank you so much and I will update you once I get brave to try it!
Grazie Paola! No, unfortunately they only ship inside the US, but you could try to find something similar in Italy. If you can not find a designated face cream, you could do what I did before, just find one used for HRT and mix it with your face cream x
Hi Bella, thanks for an other honest and helpful video. Appreciate you as always. I went on the website and they asked for my Driver License card. Is that what you have to do too! Just wanted to make sure it’s legit😊
Ciao Bella, thank you for your kind comment! That is interesting, I had to upload a picture but it did not ask for my drivers license. Maybe it depends on the state one lives in? If you end up using this, please keep us posted on how you like it x
Hi Stacy, I am sorry to hear that. There are a few other viewers here who said the same, and then some who really love it. Have you tried estrogen cream for the face? x
Hi Claudia, When do you apply your Estriol cream? Morning or Night? Do you put it on before or after vitamin C (liquid) in the morning or before or after Tretinoin cream at night?
Hi, thank you for your kind comment and for being here. I have not found a 15% cream I like, but I just ordered the Drmtlgy exfoliating pads, which are 15% glycolic acid. I don't think it needs to be in cream form, as long as you get the glycolic acid onto your skin. Will keep you posted x
Hi Suzy this is the one I ordered www.drmtlgy.com/products/advanced-retexturizer I have not received it yet, so I do not know if it is any good@@Suze_Chops
I just got it on I herb website. It’s a vaginal cream but I assumed as only estriol the weakest of estrogen that it would be ok . Bit confusing as says 18mg , it does not say the percentage.
@@claudiaglows thank you ! You answered all my questions , and then some. Just ordered with you code. I think I I might spot try it on my forearms too love your videos thank you !!!
Hi Claudia! What a interesting, informative video! I have a question. I have heard that women who use HRT in cream form have to vary where they apply it, so as to keep the estrogen receptors in the skin “working”. Is that true? I was just wondering if this is the case, would applying estrogen cream to your face every night, would those estrogen receptors in your face eventually get to “used” to the estrogen cream and stop working?? Did read anything about this? Thanks again for a great video. You are beautiful!
Hi Tina, thank you for your very kind words. I have heard the same thing and do so with my HRT. So it is a great question if applied to the same places on the face, we still get those receptors to fire. The longest study I looked at was 6 months, and it seemed to give great results. But we do not have any studies longer than that. I need to do a bit more research on this and will let you know what I can find x
Hi Laurah, as far as the estrogen, I just use one pump, at night. I am not certain how much glycolic acid to use, it really depends on how your skin can handle it. I would start slowly, with maybe a pea sized amount 2-3 times a week. You do not need to mix them together, but just apply them in the same routine x
That is a great question! I am not aware of an equivalent but will do some research to see if men’s skin would respond to it. My guess is no, or at least not enough, but I will keep you posted x

I was that way, too. I had TWO heavy periods each month. My doctor wanted me to have a hysterectomy, but I knew that would cause worse trouble down the road (I was 44). He finally agreed to perform uterine ablation, which cauterizes the lining of the uterus after first building it up with hormone injections. It was great at first-no periods for six months-but the uterine lining grew back! I still had two periods each month, but they were lighter! My periods didn’t stop until I was 61 years old, though!
Hi Claudia, thank you for this helpful video. One question, if one is not on HRT (and therefore not taking progesterone), can one still use the topical estrogen on the face?
Hi Ruth, glad this was helpful. I would say yes, but to be sure please check with the doctors from MyAlloy. There is a questioner you need to fill out before ordering and I would think you can ask on that. Please keep me posted x
Thank you so much for all infomatiom you give us. But you didnt say when to put at the biggining or end of night care? And should I put glycolic acid before it, or its enough that I put it usually at morning. Again thank you so much.
Hi, thank you for being here. So they say to apply this at night after your serums. I think using the glycolic in the morning will be fine. They do not have to be used at the same time, as long as both are being used you should see good results x
I actually talk about which form of Estrogen in this video. As far a Progesterone, I think it would be beneficial to have both, but it is hard to find a formulation containing both
Claudia- I received me cream! Starting tonight.....could you share what glycolic acid you are using and how you are layering or mixing it with the Alloy cream ?
Hi Ali, I hope you will love it. So I use the skinbetter science AHA pads a few times a week. They do not specify how much glycolic acid is in them, which is why I just order the Drmtly pads which are 15%. But I have not tried those yet. On the nights I use AHA's, I use those first, then my retin a and then the estrogen cream. Or I just use my retin a and then the estrogen cream I hope this helps. If not, please do not hesitate to ask more questions. And please keep us posted on how you like the cream x
@@claudiaglows amazing advice thank you. I just started with the ZO cleansing pads that contain AHA.. I do have some Glytone cream I have used on my body ( and it tingles) and I am considering using a tiny amount on my face but , like you, I am sensitive and I am not sure if it will be a big mistake ( yikes) I was actually shocked at that study you reviewed with people using 15% glycolic plus the M4 cream to get a 38% improvement . I can't believe people can use that on their faces. It's so strong. Hypothetically - if one could use 15% glycolic cream on their face- do you think they were putting it on prior to the M4 ( estriol)cream? obviously they couldn't have been using trentinion too- their faces would fall off lol AND thank you for replying to me- you are so generous with you time and energy xx
Hi Cathy, yes, unfortunately, as I said, in this video, they only ship to the US. But, hopefully you can find something in the UK width of a percentage of a estrogen
Hi Claudia, thanks for the informative video. I am in Canada, the website says they only ship to the United States. Do you live outside the United States, if so how were you able to bypass the shipping restrictions?
Hi, yes, unfortunately they only ship inside the United States. I do live in France, but have an American address here at the embassy. Maybe see if you can find an alternative in your country. Again, all you need to look for is the right percentage of estrogen. Please keep me posted if you can find something x
Hi Claudia, I just received the facial estrogen cream you recommended and I can’t wait to start using it. I contacted you previously about Dr. Mathis not returning email or texts. You said he had come down with Covid. I still have not received a response from him. Do you know if he still Ill or just not practicing at this time. Is there anyone else you recommend that is as informed and willing to work with a patient like he is. Thanks in advance Heather
Hi Heather, I hope you will love the cream, please keep us posted. Regarding Dr Mathis, he is still practicing. But sometimes it is challenging to get a hold of him. The best way to reach him is to call him. Please try that and keep me posted x
Hi MAC I use the Skinbetter Science exfoliating pads but it does unfortunately not state the percentage I am however looking to see if I can find a 15% to try x
Thank you! Also, I see that you have listed below BioRegulators. Which of these supplements do you take and what do they do? Thanks again!@@claudiaglows
I hope they keep doing studies on this stuff. Women deserve more research to be done to allow us to age as well as our male counterparts. The belief that “we only needed estrogen to make babies” is so 1 dimensional. At age 42 , so ? Perimenopause time? I am wondering if that collagen we loose 1% per year from ages 25 to menopause is partially related to declining estrogen levels too, where the estrogen is high enough to maintain fertility, but not enough to maintain the collagen renewal. It’s notable how lifelong, women experience a higher rate of facial aging change than men, even before menopause, and then tremendously so after menopause.
Hi Judith, I agree with you, I hope we will keep moving forward in this field. We women have been left in the dark for too long. I do think that the loss of collagen, even as we are younger has probably partially to do with loss of estrogen. But also with sun exposure, stress... x
vaginal estrogen cream 2 x weekly is an alternative to oral estrogen for those of us who cannot tolerate side effects of oral estrogen (dry eyes). I stopped running in 2017 and switched over to hiking and cross-country skiing. Your videos are always thoughtfully done and well-researched. I really appreciated your honesty on the facial fat loss that you experienced and your journey with sculptra and lamuna. I added bone broth and full-fat yogurt to my diet which area helping me. I have juvederm done very sparingly. At 53 and slim frame, I also struggled with facial aging. I will consider laluma in the future as a more natural biostimulator. Your calm peaceful manner and honesty are very refreshing!
May I ask how bone broth and full fat yogurt are help you? In what way? In aging? Facial wrinkles?
Hi Jill, thank you so much for your lovely and thoughtful comment and for sharing a bit about yourself! I am really happy you are here and am glad you have found some lifestyle and diet adaptations helpful.
Sending a big hug your way and wishing you a wonderful Sunday
May I know why you would take oral estrogen? It increases the risks of blood clots administered this way. Patches are the safest. That said, I am very sensitive to estrogen and even very low dose turns me into zombie with brain fog and body jitters. I am so not ready to get back to trying it again.
@@wem-c9f seems like low estrogen would cause the foggy mind etc. I find for me that’s what has happened along with sleep disturbance but I started taking magnesium Glycinate which has helped a lot.
Thank you! Dry eyes are a huge problem and I didn't know what was causing it!
So educational , just saw a video by Dr Rijani and he pointed to the same benefits backed up by studies ! You are on top of everything dear Claudia ❤
aww, that makes me happy to hear! Thank you Aline!

I just placed my first order with Alloy for their M4 cream. I have been on BioTE estradiol and testosterone (subcutaneous) for 2 years now and what a difference it has made! I feel human again. Can’t wait to see if the estrogen cream helps with the condition of my skin!
Hi Michelle, I’m so glad to hear that you’re doing well. I’m home on replacement therapy. Please keep me posted on how you do with this particular cream.

How much Estrodiol do you take each day……1 mg or 2 mg?
No progesterone? X
@@Bexiboo. I take oral progesterone before bed. I had a hysterectomy and my regular OB/GYN said I didn’t need progesterone….but we still do even when there’s no uterus!

I use a very low dose of estradiol in a patch on my abdomen, which I replace twice a week. I also contacted Alloy at Penn Smith’s suggestion. They agreed that I would benefit from an estrogen cream. I have not noticed any improvement in wrinkles (yet), after three months, but my skin is less sensitive and less reactive. That alone tells me that my skin density has improved, even if it is not visible to the naked eye.
This is very interesting to me as I have extremely sensitive skin... I'm 40 and not yet in menopause, but I'm wondering if I could use this cream.
Hi Claudia, thank you for the info. Where do you include this in your routine please?
That is great to hear! I actually feel the same way, my skin does feel quite happy and less sensitive
Please continue to keep us posted
x
I think there are definitely different reasons for sensitive skin and in your case it might not yet be low estrogen. But it is worth a try and if you do, please keep us posted
x
Hi Shelly, thank you for being here. So they say to use this after your serums. I apply my growth factor and retin a and then the cream
You are incredible person. I was searching the whole internet for this information. I live in Europe and here it’s difficult to get HRT because doctors are so unwilling to prescribe hormones. Thank you 🙏
Hi Natalia, thank you for your kind comment. May I ask where in Europe you live? It is sad that doctors are still so behind, not just in Europe, but really all over the world. But hopefully we can find someone who can help you
x
I'm the UK and the help is abysmal unless you're willing to do bioidentical Hormones only and then they try to avoid testosterone too
I'm 52 & I use the same estradiol cream my Dr prescribed me for menopause on my face. I mix it w/ a little of my SUKOYAKA SUHADA toner so that it's easier to spread. It really makes a huge difference in the quality of my skin & It's covered by my insurance :-) I've also found it makes my skin must less reactive to tretinoin & my skin recovers faster when I microneedle or use a peel. My sister started doing the same & she was able to ramp up her tret from 2 x a week to everyday in a month without any of the negative skin reactions I had when I first started tret 3 years ago.
That is so great ti hear! Thank you for sharing Fran
xx
Yep yeah you got it right! I did the same thing and my insurance pays for all the Estradiol and Tretinoin Cream. 😂😂
Uses estradiol when and then when the tret ?
@@MyBiddie That's way too much abuse on the face. Micro needling is invasive and not necessary. Good skincare products have micro vesicular penetration without any needles needed. Try CeraVe

As always, an incredibly informative and detailed video on a subject sensitive and yet Highly Important for us women. Its RUclipsrs as yourself and a few others, that do the research, read the case studies, try out the products, that make it easier for those of us who Don't have the resources, insurance or what have you (the Doctors willing to speak on Menopause, Estrogen and options). Instead of just leaving us blindly to feel scared, confused or insecure where to go or what to ask. I'm 30 and I too will one day need to know all this and I PERSONALLY THANK YOU Ms Claudia ❤❤❤ thank you for creating and sharing such wonderful videos.
Thank you for your very kind and thoughtful comment Angela! I am really glad this was helpful.
And I hope many more will have these important conversations. We women deserve to know what options are available for us, without being fear mongered.

Yes. I use prescription estrogen cream on my face. I noticed a beautiful difference in firmness after about 3 months. That said, I DO get my period waaayyyyyy to early now and I am 51 and was beginning to enter menopause - with the evidence being 3 or so months between each period..... So, there is that....
Interesting! Do you know the strength and type of estrogen used in your face cream?
Could I ask, who wrote you a prescription estrogen? Did you go to compounding pharmacy?
This is terrific. It’s great to get such a clear explanation.
Hi Gloria
Glad you enjoyed it

Great video! I don’t use an estrogen cream on my face but have been considering myalloy for awhile. I use an estrogen cream on my thigh daily-love it and have noticed tiny freckles from sun I had in that area have disappeared.
Let us know if you have any questions, we're happy to help answer!

I have been on HRT since 36, Now 43 and it's been amazing for me. I had pmdd, Subclinical hyperthyroidism and osteopenia so I feel estrogen is vital for my bones and mental health.I use transdermal gel Estradiol and just started Estriol on my face and after a month I can see a difference. I use the vaginal estrogen cream on my face. People often say I look late twenties, I think I look 36 lol But also I've never got a tan and worn spf 50 since age 26. Also green tea daily and I gave up alcohol 17 months ago and my wrinkles diminished just from giving up alcohol and I lost 2 inches off my waist. Here in the UK it is hard to get hormones and I first went private for my prescription.
Thank you Claudia for sharing Your time spent explaining the science is much appreciated. You are a wealth of knowledge. Much appreciated ❤
Thank you for your very kind and thoughtful comment! I am so happy you’re here and hope you’re having a wonderful weekend ❤️
As always educational. I think the key outcome must be a visible result. I also feel that when the routine includes everything, including kitchen sink, its not clear what is working and what is a waste of dollars. My advise to you: less is more. In my case I have a set routine for AM and PM and it works for me, mainly I use Retin A, Vitamin C and peptides. When I try to be creative and add more steps I hardly see any difference. The proven power horse in any routine is a Retinoid. So why spend money and risk ruining your skin barrier? I believe stay with a routine that works and save money for a plastic surgery, and outcome will be apparent, than back to routine. That is also what any good plastic surgeon will tell you to do.
What vitamin C do you use? Thank you
Hi Helen, thank you for bring here
I agree, using too much is not necessarily a good thing and often a waste of money
Have actually reduced what I use and for the most part stay with what is backed by science
But I also like to try some new things here and there :)

Update- I have now been using the My Alloy face estrogen cream for almost 2 months. I LOVE how my skin looks, however, i am experiencing some side effects. So, there is definitely uptake that is happening to the body, even if it does not show in bloodwork. We will see when i have my next saliva test what is going on. I do use Biest cream on my body and adding this face cream has disrupted the balance of my hormones. I will have to work with my dr. to figure out if i want to continue on the face cream. But, it definitely works for firming and plumping the skin. My skin looked good before, but it really looks great now.
Thank you for the update. Please continue to keep me posted

I have been using Alloy's estrogen cream for about 3 months. I, like you, haven't noticed too much difference. However, my skin looks great, but I do use tretinoin and vitamin c as well. I will definitely give the glycolic cream 15% a shot. Thank you, Claudia ❤
Hi Deb, glad to hear you are already using this. It is so hard to say what does what, but I do believe often it is just the right combination of things. Please keep us posted on how you do combining it with Glycolic acid. And I would say go slow with it. 15% is quite strong

personally I do the glycolic acid first, wait a few minutes and then do my tretinoin and estrogen cream@@jjlol7457
Timely! Finishing first batch. Like my alloy. But already on HRT and I believe this caused some spotting. I get the studies but as soon as I backed off, it stopped. As for results, like Claudia. It’s hard to say but I trust the studies
Hi Cindy
That is really interesting that you got spotting. I am going to test my estrogen next week to see if it changed…

are you doing that through a blood test?

You were told that from MyAlloy or through a doc for HRT? I've had it before and gone through all the tests, at one point I even got a biopsy. All has been normal, just find that I am super sensitive to changes. BUT I confess, I mistakenly thought I was supposed to do 2 full pumps, and then I read ONE! duh. I'm fine now. @@juliafusco6430

Hi Lori, I am glad this was helpful

Hi Claudia Thanks so much for this information. The company called Life Extension has an Estriol Care cream .75mg but don’t know how that would compare to the .3% estriol in Alloy. The Estriol Care cream is so reasonably priced. It is supposed to be used on body but I found a report that says you can use it on the face. You can get it for $17.00! So many people can’t afford $150.00 for Alloy or Musely. Could you look in to this product and do a comparison?
Hi Keri, I will def. look into it.
Thank you for the suggestion
xx
Have you noticed a difference on your face?
I’m 61 and just started facial estrogen cream plus topical estrogen/progesterone cream about a month ago. I definitely see an improvement in moisture content in my face and am hoping the dark spots don’t worsen as that can happen. I use spf 50 daily on my face and neck. I went through an online service, Musely, so pay out of pocket.

Yes indeed thank you.
I’ve been reading Heather Hirsch’s book “Unlock Your Menopause Type: Personalized Treatments, the Last Word on Hormones, and Remedies that Work” it’s a great read, and she’s clear about the fact that topical estrogen doesn’t lead to increased systemic levels. I’ve often wondered about estrogen for antiaging/skincare as it’s used for vaginal skin health. Thank you for sharing & disseminating the research studies you’ve found. Great informative topical estrogen chat. 😊
Hi gorgeous, that sounds like a great read. I do think that topical estrogen leads to increased systemic levels, as in my case using transdermal HRT, but again, it depends on the dose and the dose used for vaginal or facial rejuvenation s very low
Wishing you a great rest of your week

Lift weights, until you sweat and then keep lifting. Go 4-5 times a week. It’s a heaven sent to improve skin and everything else
Would it help with vaginal dryness?
😅
Women whom have their menses should NOT do that especially a week before their period. It depletes the Progesterone which declines very quickly in your mid 30s..
Omega 3..
@@jessicahitchens6926I get my period so how should I start lifting weights ? I’m 45
This is great info. Thanks so much. The Alloy one is a tad expensive and I'm trying to eliminate products costing more than $100 from my routine, but I will try a less expensive product and try to get up to the .03% estriol daily that way. If that doesn't make any difference after a couple bottles, I'll definitely give the Alloy a shot and see if a single bottle will make a difference.
I'm definitely looking for something to replace my One Skin now that I'm getting to the end of my 3rd bottle of that. It also lasts 2-3 months, but I just can't justify that expense for minor improvement when I'm already on tretinoin, vit-C and glycolic acid and have pretty smooth skin already.

I can totally understand wanting to cut down on cost. If I ever added up how much I spent on skincare, I think I would faint :).

Hi Claudia, thanks for the this amazing video! I was wondering what glycolic acid cream you used. I live in Europe; so I would love to hear if you have a recommendation which you found worked well. Thanks so much!
Hi Nicola, thank you for your kind words!
You know, I could not really find one in Europe that I liked, so I use Skinbetter Science
But, you could try the Ordinary timer, which is AHA’s and quite inexpensive. Or depending on your country you might have wine really good glycolic acid serums or creams
And do you mix the glycolic acid cream with the hormone cream or apply one first and the other on top? Thanks 🙏
@@nikolaserratosa5447 I use the glycolic first, the the estrogen
Okay I am 75….so what are your thoughts on using the estrogen cream? I am not happy about losing elasticity everywhere!! I am not asking for medical advice just your thoughts. You are not a doctor but you study this information more than most doctors!!
Hi, I would say it is worth a try. It might take a bit longer to see results, but I would think that your skin, having estrogen receptors all over, would still respond. You could try combining it with glycolic acid if your skin can handle it, to get better results
Please keep us posted

Hi Claudia, just this week I ordered estriol cream for my face so was excited to see this video. Great information. Not sure what percentage for this cream but was doing some research and it said estriol comes in the .03 % you mentioned. I did email the company to find out more so hoping they answer. The one you are using sounds wonderful, but pricey. Would love to try it though. I was reading that the efficacy of the estriol on the same area without rotation to other areas negates its absorption. Do you know have any information on this? The one I just started is from SMNutrition Estro-life bought it from amazon recommended by Gorgeously Aging YT...
Hi Annie, great to hear from you. As far as the cream you have, you want 0.3% estriol, which I am assuming yours is, as 0.03% estriol is really super low.
I believe the rotating refers to HRT and actually wanting to raise systemic levels. But for the face, I would not worry about it.
Yes, the one I use it unfortunately not cheap. I do really like it though and it does last for 3 months (or actually a bit longer). But I will also try to find some other alternatives down the road
xx
@@claudiaglows The one she mentioned doesn't actually say it is .03%
In fact, it says there are 175mg per 3.5 ounce container. That actually works out to be a 0.18% estriol formulation. So seems instead of using the recommended 1 pump once per day, the person could just use morning and night. So may be effective product.
I also bought the SMS Nutrition Estro-life, going to start tomorrow.
I bought the same cream and was enjoying it the first week, realizing I was not having any adverse reactions to it. After watching this video, I went back on Amazon to get a better look at the dosage and percentage conversions, where I found out through reading reviews that it actually contains parabens :-( I was so disappointed with this because it is a great price and my skin tolerated it well, but I am going to have to return it
@@creativesolutionsart-h3o thank you, I didn't pay attention either. I hope it's not too late to return it.
The only cream containing estrogen that I found where I live is conjugated estrogens. Not sure if I should try it. Also, I read that you should always balance estrogen out with progesterone, otherwise it would thicken the uterus lining. Could you let me know what you think dear Claudia and thank you for the valuable informative video as always!
Hi, I think if the % of the creams is ok, you could give it a try. As far as progesterone, this is when it has a systemic affect. To my knowledge we do not have to worry about combining the two when a small amount is used on the face
@@claudiaglowsbut why not? Are you saying it cannot affect our actual hormonesnm if applied as a cream onto the face?
that is what the studies say@@Bexiboo.
Wonderful video 💗 Thankyou 😊

Very informative thank you
Hi Jean, I am glad this was helpful. Thank you for being here

Bionatural hormone creams have been part of my routine for a while now. I'm 50 years old with no signs of perimenopause and I use progesterone cream in the evening every day, pregnenolone cream in the morning, estogen cream most of the days and dhea cream some days. Once a year I check my hormone levels, especially to keep an ey on dhea/testosteron.
Hi Margaret, is great to hear that you found a doctor who gave you the treatment you needed and I am happy to hear you are doing well with it
x
Do you do it yourself or have you work to a dosage you were given? Xx
@@Bexiboo. I go by a dosage suggested by manufacturer (BioLab Pro).
I'm always exited when you upload a video!!! You had mentioned this in another video and I had my pharmacist make me a cream with 0.03% estradiol. Since than I'm on my third bottle and I love the cream!! I don't know if it actually does something but I will go on using it. Is it OK that it is 0.03 estradiol? Should I tell them it should be 0.01%? Thank you for everything!!! Love you ❤❤❤!!!
Hi gorgeous
It is always lovely to read your sweet comments ❤️
I think if it were me I would ask for .01 %, since that is what most studies used

Thanks for being honest. I thank God for truth. I use estrogen and progesterone. I put myself on it in UK they have it in creams and over here most women can't talk to anyone. (USA)
I am glad you have found a way to take care of it yourself. It is sad to hear that women can not talk to anyone about this...

I'm also in the UK, please can you help me with where you found it! ❤️❤️❤️
Ma’am. First, always good to see your lovely face. Second, your lip lines disappeared. How did you do it?! 😊
Hi, thank you for your lovely comment ❤️
As far as the lip lines, unfortunately they are stool there, but I put a tiny bit of Botox in them to soften them
x
@@claudiaglows I’m constantly surprised by what Botox can do. I saw a cosmetic dermatologist for a consult to treat my elderly looking chin and she recommended Botox! I was like what?! I’m not sure that’s what I’ll do yet, though. I so wish they had Lanluma here! You’re going to be super disappointed when you find out how few treatments America’s has compared to Europe. Are you still moving to ÇA when hubs goes to Africa?
Yes, still moving to CA. I know, it is not just limited but so much more expensive.
xx@@privatetatum
@@claudiaglows Hi Claudia. Great video and I've been using .3 estriol not consistently but am now wondering if I should try estradiol which is much stronger and apparently safe. Have you ever considered that? Another question: how long did the Botox in you lip lines last? Thank you as always.
Hi beautiful. I had to rewatch this video because I was hoping you explained how to use the estrogen cream with a retinol and other serums. Can yo suggest how to layer all you skincare products with the estrogen face cream. Thanks. Love you 😘
Hi Carol, sorry I didn’t talk about that in this video. I have shown in several videos how I’d personally use this lotion. I use my Tretinoin first and then put this lotion on top, and then lastly a moisturizer.
I know some people like to use it before Tretinoin, I honestly don’t think it makes a difference which way around
I hope this helps, lots of love to you ❤️
@@claudiaglows Thank you Claudia. Will try it your way 😘

Hi Claudia, very timely and useful video thank you. Couple of questions if I may, what glycolic acid product do you use? What HRT products do you use? Thanks 🥰
Hi, glad this was helpful. I actually just this week posted my full evening and morning skincare routine, which you might find helpful. In it I show the two forms of glycolic acid I use and talk about how I use them.
And I use an HRT called the Wiley protocol. I actually have several videos with my prescribing doctor you might also enjoy

Hi beautiful as usual you are doing such an amazing job on these kind of complicated subjects🙌🙌🙌🙏🙏🙏 so i personally dont use any hormone therapies. I am about a year into pre or menopause, i still so green. Now i take a lot of different supplements. I use turkey tail mushrooms and some other mushrooms, but i am not sure if because of those, or /and since i added to my regiment, horsetail supplements, i dont have any symptoms anymore. Its not that i really had to begin, well i had for awhile little bit warmness , maybe once in awhile sweating, but Macca was helping me. But now if i take Macca , i take only 1-2 capsules per day and not 8-10 , as used them as needed. So i dont know yet what i am going to do about all these hormones. I was against , but now i am not sure and since i dont have any symptoms, i am kind of not thinking about it, for now. I am looking to get done some regenerative health treatments. I was looking for places, who does PRP or stem cells, for my hubby. He just has so much inflammation/ pain that never ends. So we did some researches, and find out, that it was some therapies, that should have been addressed by medical community. There are some protocols, that never was told to us. Ah its such a letdown, so now we are looking anything and everything, what could be done, to improve him. Because until we get the new system in- Gesara/ Nesara, med beds will not be accessible. So we have to be proactive …. So when i was looking for different procedures, i stumbled up, on this amazing medical spa, that i am so interested. Even if he doesnt. Its great to get some bio stimulators , for our skin, but i think it would work better, and would help with overall body aging, from inside out. I didnt know, that there is av this advanced ozone therapy, that filtrates your blood with oxygen and ozone and red light…., also all these iv drips for NAD and methyl blue and glutathione, when there is some other very interesting therapies. I cant wait , to get my investment, to the level, that i will get great profits, so i could take care not just about my face , but my body as well. ..,I know you are using supplements, but i think iv is much more powerful, and its not so expensive, and probably in Europe its even cheaper 😜Have a blessed day🙏❤️
Hi gorgeous, I love how you are always looking for new ways to stay as healthy and vibrant as possible. There are luckily so many options now. And I do think that well aging is a multi solution approach.
I am sorry to hear that you are running into so many problems with your husbands care, but I know you will not give up.
Sending you a big hug

Do you have a body cream you recommend for crepey skin? Very impressed with your videos and extensive research on subject matters!!
Hi, thank you for your lovely comment. I’m currently testing a few different body lotions to see if they do anything, will keep you posted.
Going to get my HRT therapy tomorrow.
Claudia, just one question if you could clarify, what percentage of estradiol does your topical HRT cream contain? Also, does it also include a small percentage testosterone?
I’m so excited about trying estrogen cream and am going to pursue My Alloy !
Thank you for your informative video 😊
Hi Melissa, I tried to figure that out myself but am not sure. I want to say it contains 1% estradiol, but I am not certain. I take testosterone seperatly.
I hope you will get great results with this cream, please keep us posted
x
I’m so sad! 😢 I’ve tried to place a order, but the company don’t sale to another country… I think.
Hi Julia, I actually say in this video that they unfortunately only send to the US. But I also say what to look for to find a cream where you live
x@@jujuba9277
Claudia doesn't live in the USA so there must be a way🤷
You only need 1% estradiol cream! It's usually the only strength sold anyway. Takes a full 3 months for full benefits.
Great video Claudia. I'm in the UK and can't seem to find any estriol face cream here. I think some creams use phyto estrogen but I'm not sure if these are as effective?
Hi Michelle, I think that if at the right percentage, phyto estrogens could be beneficial as well. Might be worth a try.
I know that some women also use vaginal estrogen on their faces. I have not tried that, but it seems to work for some
x
I'm so confused. If oestrogen cream is used to replace hormones through our skin surely rubbing that on your face and getting it onto your hands it will affect any oestrogen levels within our bodies??
I think gaining some weight may help too. Anyway, you look gorgeous Claudia. You are blessed with beautiful features that will stand out even at 80, regardless of the wrinkles that may or may not come.
Great video Claudia !
Do you use this cream before or after your Retin A application ? It sounds like this may be a viable addition to a skincare routine . I may ask my pharmacist if he can make up this cream combination . Informative as always hope your week is blessed 🩵
Hi Sue, glad you enjoyed this. Yes, I use it after my Retin A. They say to apply it after serums and it can be used as your moisturiser.
I hope your pharmacist can mix you up a great concussion. Please keep us posted on how you like it
Wishing you a beautiful day and wonderful weekend

I’ve used .01 estradiol cream for a couple of years since I hit menopause I use it on my inner thighs and of course it helps several things including it helps me sleep better and so on as far as applied topically to my face and neck because I use tretinoin four nights a week and then one night a week I derma roll that only leaves me one night maybe two at best with the estradiol cream and so I’m not sure that it is helping my skin. I think it does help but I don’t think it firms my skin because I don’t use it every night. I am interested in maybe using a stronger version of it. Not sure if my doctor will provide a an RX for that, but certainly is worth asking for what do you think in terms of using one on your face that is stronger than .01 estradiol? Great video Claudia💎
Hi Savvy, it is great to hear from you! I actually combined my estrogen cream with my treat, annoying nightly without any problems. I don’t know if you have traded, but if not, it might be worth a try.
xx
@@claudiaglows it’s great to be back on your channel, I was of yt for a bit on vacay. I swear Claudia everytime I jump back on here you look younger! So, I’m definitely going to try mixing my estradiol with my tretinoin. Thank you doll, hope you are doing well!!
You are a sweetheart! Please keep me posted

Great news! Thank u so much for this video. I purchased estriol cream and want to start using it on face and neck but worried because I have nodules and hashimoto. Is it safe to applaud on the neck?
Hi, I would talk to your doctor about applying it to your neck if you are concerned x
Hi Claudia. I recently found your channel and have been binge watching them. I commented on an older MN RUclips but wanted to add a comment here as well in case you don’t go back and review older videos. Would you say the Derminator 2 is more effective than the Dr Pens? I’m aware of the poor customer service they sometimes provide US customers but am willing to risk it if it’s a better product. Thanks so much !! You are the only person I’ve found who has tried them both.
Hi, I’m really happy you were here. I hope that I answered your comment under the all the video. Are usually try to answer all comments. As far as the Derminator compared to the dr pen, I wouldn’t necessarily say more effective. I think if you use both of them correctly, the equally effective. But I think many people use the.dr pen incorrectly by dragging it across the skin, which, in my opinion is not a good idea
I do have a really hard time recommending the Derminator at this point, because of the horrendous customer service. But if that is not something you’re worried about, it is a great device.
Thank you so much for taking time to reply to me. It sounds like there is not much difference to you in terms of effectiveness so I will probably just go with the Dr Pen as it is easier for me to get and get more cartridges etc for. I do plan to use the stamp method! I had decided that on my own and when I searched for people that do this method you came up which is how I found you. Thanks again
Of course! I think that is a good choice. Esp if you are going to be stamping. It is a bit difficult to stamp with the derminator. I still have the derminator, but since I have the Dr Pen have only used the Dr Pen. And I think you will be happy with either the M8 or A6s. I like both of them. They also have a new one, I believe it is called M8s, which I have not tried, but it has a few upgrades which are need.
If you want to you can use my code, which will work on any of them and also on cartridges.
Please keep me posted on how you like it. And if you need more help, please never hesitate to reach out
x@@ampenn11able
thank you@@claudiaglows I will see if I can figure out how to use the code for cartridges...I have already ordered the M8 but was considering returning it for the Derminator after seeing some people say it was better than m8. But now I feel good with my original choice after hearing your input. Thank you so much and I will update you once I get brave to try it!
Thanks Claudia, you are always very clear, do you know if Alloy ships to Italy?
Grazie Paola! No, unfortunately they only ship inside the US, but you could try to find something similar in Italy. If you can not find a designated face cream, you could do what I did before, just find one used for HRT and mix it with your face cream

Hi, thank you for your kind comment and for being here. I have not found a 15% cream I like, but I just ordered the Drmtlgy exfoliating pads, which are 15% glycolic acid. I don't think it needs to be in cream form, as long as you get the glycolic acid onto your skin. Will keep you posted

Do you use tretetonin as well as estridol estradiol and when do you use them. Also adding glycolic acid in what form to the cream
Hi Brigette, I do. I use the tretion first, than the etrogen. And one some days glycolic acid in pads
@claudiaglows when you.use the pads night? Do you use estradiol or and tret after ?
yes, but my skin is used to it. if you have sensitive skin, you might not use all of it at once@@MyBiddie
I just got it on I herb website. It’s a vaginal cream but I assumed as only estriol the weakest of estrogen that it would be ok . Bit confusing as says 18mg , it does not say the percentage.

Hi Claudia! What a interesting, informative video! I have a question. I have heard that women who use HRT in cream form have to vary where they apply it, so as to keep the estrogen receptors in the skin “working”. Is that true? I was just wondering if this is the case, would applying estrogen cream to your face every night, would those estrogen receptors in your face eventually get to “used” to the estrogen cream and stop working?? Did read anything about this?
Thanks again for a great video. You are beautiful!
Hi Tina, thank you for your very kind words. I have heard the same thing and do so with my HRT. So it is a great question if applied to the same places on the face, we still get those receptors to fire. The longest study I looked at was 6 months, and it seemed to give great results. But we do not have any studies longer than that. I need to do a bit more research on this and will let you know what I can find
x
Do you use the glycolic pad first, then tret than the estriol on top?
Thanks
Hi, yes. I use an exfoliant first and Tretinoin and the estrogen cream
I have estradiol 0.1 how to use and how and how much to mix that with glycolic acid.? Thanks for the video.
Hi Laurah, as far as the estrogen, I just use one pump, at night. I am not certain how much glycolic acid to use, it really depends on how your skin can handle it. I would start slowly, with maybe a pea sized amount 2-3 times a week. You do not need to mix them together, but just apply them in the same routine
x
Do they work for men’s skin? Or is there an equivalent for males?
That is a great question! I am not aware of an equivalent but will do some research to see if men’s skin would respond to it. My guess is no, or at least not enough, but I will keep you posted

Thank you ❤️
I actually think I’m estrogen dominant because of crazy heavy periods. Tmi
That could be. You could always test your hormones. And maybe your thyroid as well, as low thyroid can cause heavy bleeding as well
I was that way, too. I had TWO heavy periods each month. My doctor wanted me to have a hysterectomy, but I knew that would cause worse trouble down the road (I was 44). He finally agreed to perform uterine ablation, which cauterizes the lining of the uterus after first building it up with hormone injections. It was great at first-no periods for six months-but the uterine lining grew back! I still had two periods each month, but they were lighter! My periods didn’t stop until I was 61 years old, though!
That’s an imbalance go to a doctor specifically one in bio identical hormones
@@vetsai8199 that’s awful! I’m so sorry you had to go through that!
Progesterone.... it's not your thyroid.
Hi Claudia, thank you for this helpful video. One question, if one is not on HRT (and therefore not taking progesterone), can one still use the topical estrogen on the face?
Hi Ruth, glad this was helpful. I would say yes, but to be sure please check with the doctors from MyAlloy. There is a questioner you need to fill out before ordering and I would think you can ask on that. Please keep me posted

if i have a uterus still.. would i need a progresterone cream also? 🤔 thank you
Hi, to my knowledge not if you just use this in your face
@@claudiaglows thank you so much!! 🙏🏻❤️
Thank you so much for all infomatiom you give us.
But you didnt say when to put at the biggining or end of night care?
And should I put glycolic acid before it, or its enough that I put it usually at morning.
Again thank you so much.
Hi, thank you for being here. So they say to apply this at night after your serums. I think using the glycolic in the morning will be fine. They do not have to be used at the same time, as long as both are being used you should see good results

Which is better for face skin? Estradiol, estriol, or estrogen/Progesterone combo?
I actually talk about which form of Estrogen in this video. As far a Progesterone, I think it would be beneficial to have both, but it is hard to find a formulation containing both
Thank you for making this video, Does your estrogen also has T3 as the thyroid T3?

Claudia- I received me cream! Starting tonight.....could you share what glycolic acid you are using and how you are layering or mixing it with the Alloy cream ?
Hi Ali, I hope you will love it. So I use the skinbetter science AHA pads a few times a week. They do not specify how much glycolic acid is in them, which is why I just order the Drmtly pads which are 15%. But I have not tried those yet.
On the nights I use AHA's, I use those first, then my retin a and then the estrogen cream. Or I just use my retin a and then the estrogen cream
I hope this helps. If not, please do not hesitate to ask more questions. And please keep us posted on how you like the cream
x
@@claudiaglows amazing advice thank you. I just started with the ZO cleansing pads that contain AHA.. I do have some Glytone cream I have used on my body ( and it tingles) and I am considering using a tiny amount on my face but , like you, I am sensitive and I am not sure if it will be a big mistake ( yikes) I was actually shocked at that study you reviewed with people using 15% glycolic plus the M4 cream to get a 38% improvement . I can't believe people can use that on their faces. It's so strong. Hypothetically - if one could use 15% glycolic cream on their face- do you think they were putting it on prior to the M4 ( estriol)cream? obviously they couldn't have been using trentinion too- their faces would fall off lol AND thank you for replying to me- you are so generous with you time and energy xx
We’re in uk Alloy is American not able ti put my details in
Hi Cathy, yes, unfortunately, as I said, in this video, they only ship to the US. But, hopefully you can find something in the UK width of a percentage of a estrogen
Hi Claudia, thanks for the informative video. I am in Canada, the website says they only ship to the United States. Do you live outside the United States, if so how were you able to bypass the shipping restrictions?
Hi, yes, unfortunately they only ship inside the United States. I do live in France, but have an American address here at the embassy.
Maybe see if you can find an alternative in your country. Again, all you need to look for is the right percentage of estrogen.

Hi Claudia, I just received the facial estrogen cream you recommended and I can’t wait to start using it.
I contacted you previously about Dr. Mathis not returning email or texts. You said he had come down with Covid. I still have not received a response from him. Do you know if he still Ill or just not practicing at this time.

I hope they keep doing studies on this stuff. Women deserve more research to be done to allow us to age as well as our male counterparts. The belief that “we only needed estrogen to make babies” is so 1 dimensional.
At age 42 , so ? Perimenopause time? I am wondering if that collagen we loose 1% per year from ages 25 to menopause is partially related to declining estrogen levels too, where the estrogen is high enough to maintain fertility, but not enough to maintain the collagen renewal. It’s notable how lifelong, women experience a higher rate of facial aging change than men, even before menopause, and then tremendously so after menopause.
Hi Judith, I agree with you, I hope we will keep moving forward in this field. We women have been left in the dark for too long.
I do think that the loss of collagen, even as we are younger has probably partially to do with loss of estrogen. But also with sun exposure, stress...
