Product Description

Estriol Cream Description^1-5

Micronized estriol is a bioidentical form of estriol (E3), one of the three naturally occurring estrogens in women, alongside estradiol and estrone. Estriol is the weakest of the estrogens, with lower receptor binding affinity and a shorter duration of action compared to estradiol (E2). Despite being the weakest estrogen, estriol may support skin rejuvenation, including restoration of dermal thickness and elasticity. It is most commonly used alongside estradiol in postmenopausal women with estrogen deficiency and is typically formulated in a transdermal cream to allow for incremental dosing adjustments.
