Q: I\u2019ve seen several menopause-oriented brands selling anti-aging estrogen creams for the face. Is there any science behind them?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hot flashes, night sweats and vaginal dryness are common symptoms of menopause<\/a>. But the skin can undergo changes in midlife too, including sagging, thinning and becoming more dry.<\/p>\n

Estrogen is key to maintaining skin integrity, said Dr. Susan Massick, a dermatologist at the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. When estrogen levels dip during menopause, your skin can become thinner with less collagen and elasticity, potentially causing more dryness or wrinkling.<\/p>\n

Some skin care companies sell estrogen-infused face creams and serums \u2014 available over-the-counter or via prescription \u2014 that are supposed to prevent and reverse these changes. One doctor on Instagram<\/a> even said that using prescription vaginal estrogen cream on your face can increase collagen production and minimize dryness.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

While this use of estrogen cream \u201cmakes sense, in theory,\u201d Dr. Massick said, we need more research showing that it is safe and effective. Here is what we know.<\/p>\n
