The Aging Repair Cream, The Estrogen Cream, The Estrogen Patch, and The Estrogen Pill all include forms of estrogen. Here is more information on how these treatments differ:
The Aging Repair Cream includes estriol, a gentle form of estrogen. This medication is not focused on treating menopause or perimenopause symptoms. Instead, The Aging Repair Cream can help treat signs of aging on the face, such as wrinkles or fine lines. As low dose estriol is the only form of estrogen included, this medication is not expected to cause systemic effects.
The Estrogen Cream, The Estrogen Patch, and The Estrogen Pill are all HRT medications that do treat menopause or perimenopause symptoms. These include hot flashes, low energy, night sweats, sleep disruptions, and changes in hair, nails, or skin. While these three medications are all HRT medications, they differ in terms of use and side effects.
The Estrogen Cream is a topical medication that is rubbed into the skin. This medication should be applied daily to absorbent areas of the body. Side effects may include redness or irritation.
The Estrogen Patch is a transdermal medication that sits on top of the skin. This medication should be placed on an absorbent area of the body once a week. Side effects may include redness or irritation.
The Estrogen Pill is an oral medication that is ingested. This medication is taken daily. Side effects may include mild headaches or nausea.
