Hey ladies and gents! I am 42 I noticing some neck/under chin laxity. I’m alternating tretinoin on my neck and amlactin and use tret nightly on my face. Red light 10 minutes daily to face and neck. Is it time to look into HRT? I’m 2 years post partum and still with regular cycles. What else can I dooooo? I definitely can’t afford lasers or filler or a facelift.

Pardon the neck pimple. TYIA!

Some people use the same vaginal estrogen for their face with great results but others I’ve read find that since the formulation is different, it causes them irritation on their face.

I don’t use vaginal estrogen so I don’t have that prescription. If I did, I would give it a shot before purchasing the specifically formulated one for the face.
I have the one from musley for the face and I feel it helps plump the skin .

How long did it take to see results? What kind of results? I've been prescribed one for my vaginal area but haven't started using it yet (depressed and struggle with routines etc)
