I am forever on the hunt for great face creams. Anything to minimize the wrinkles and fine lines as well as the puffiness that begins to show as we hit menopause and the years after.
I purchased Winona's Estriol Cream with Tretinoin about three months ago and want to share with you my experience and opinion of this new(er) face cream by Winona, the HRT company.
Meet the Estriol Cream with Tretinoin
Did you know that up to 30% of dermal collagen is lost during the first 5 years of menopause, and it decreases by an additional 2.1% every following year? Perimenopause, menopause, and the natural process of aging can lead to a loss of collagen, decreased elasticity, less moisture, and the appearance of wrinkles. But there's hope, and it comes in the form of Winona's custom formula.
Who is it for?
Winona's custom formula is designed for every woman looking to combat the effects of estrogen deficiency in their skin. Whether you are experiencing menopause symptoms or simply want to address the signs of aging, Winona's formula is here to help. It works alongside your current menopause treatment plan.

Winona Face Cream, Is it worth it?
Yes, most definitely. When I look at the before and after photos, I am especially pleased with the fine lines to the side of my eyes. I can tell the puffiness under my eye is improved, but not perfect. It will probably never be completely non-puffy again, but who knows, maybe if I keep using this cream, I'll continue to see results to the puffy area under my eyes??
Winona Hormone Replacement Therapy
I have been a client of Winona for almost a year. I've tried their Estrogen/Progesterone cream, DHEA pills, Blossom Cream and now their Estriol Face Cream.
After some experimentation, I'm now on an Estrogen Patch (.0375) and Progesterone Tablets (200 mg) and use the new Estriol cream. You can find many of my Winona blogs here.
