Full answer

Can I use topical estrogen on my face?

Different estrogen products have different strengths, bases, approved uses, absorption profiles, and safety instructions. “Topical” does not mean risk-free or interchangeable between body sites.

If you are considering a hormone treatment for a skin concern, ask a qualified clinician about the specific product, your history, alternatives, and what monitoring would be needed. Skincare evidence cannot supply that decision.
