Ep. 305: Estrogen Cream: Is Estradiol or Estriol Cream Right for You?

If you've heard the buzz about estrogen creams but aren't sure what they actually do—or whether they're safe—this Paloma podcast episode is for you!

We break down the science behind estradiol and estriol creams, two topical hormone therapies that are helping many women navigate the changes of perimenopause and menopause. From vaginal dryness and painful intimacy to urinary symptoms and skin changes, you'll learn why estrogen plays such a critical role in women's health and comfort.

We also explore one of the hottest topics in midlife wellness: can estrogen creams really improve aging skin? As estrogen levels decline, collagen production drops, leading to thinner, drier, less elastic skin. Discover what the latest research says about estrogen's potential to support skin hydration, elasticity, and wrinkle reduction—and where the evidence is promising.

Finally, we tackle the important safety considerations every woman should know. Who is a good candidate for estrogen cream? What's the difference between FDA-approved and compounded formulations? And what should women with hypothyroidism know before starting estrogen therapy?

🎧 Join us for a practical, evidence-based conversation that cuts through the hype and helps you make informed decisions about your hormone health.
