Hi there, thank you so much for your honest feedback — and for listening to the podcast. I’m really glad the cream felt good on your skin, but I’m sorry to hear you’re not getting the results you were hoping for.
A little insight that might help:
4 pumps of the cream works out to about 0.25 mg of estradiol, which is a very gentle dose. For women with estradiol levels as low as yours (around 10), that amount often isn’t enough to create a measurable rise on labs or hold symptoms long-term. That’s not a sign that the product “lost efficacy” — the formula stays stable for at least two years — it’s simply that your body likely needs a higher concentration.
It’s also common in early use for symptoms to improve at first and then return. When you introduce estradiol, your body may temporarily “top up” naturally, but once it senses incoming estrogen, it can down-regulate the little production it had left. This is totally normal physiology — it just means you may need a stronger dose to get the full benefits.
For women with lower baseline levels, our Estrogen Vitality oil or Estro 2 Rejuvenation Cream tend to work much better because they’re more concentrated.
If you’d like to try one of those options, I’d be more than happy to give you a coupon code so you can give it a go at a discount. Just let me know — we’re here to help you feel your best.
