Episode notes
Your skin isn’t just aging it’s changing hormonally.
As estrogen declines during perimenopause and menopause, collagen, hydration, elasticity, and skin thickness can change dramatically. Now estriol face creams are being marketed as the next breakthrough in menopausal skincare.
But do they actually work?
Dr. Daisy Ayim breaks down the science behind topical estriol: what the research says, why estrogen matters to skin, potential benefits, safety concerns, systemic absorption, and why estriol isn’t simply another ingredient to add to your skincare routine.
The good. The bad. The ugly. And the science.
Because menopausal skin may deserve an entirely different approach.
