As women approach perimenopause and menopause, hormonal fluctuations can significantly impact their skin, leading to dryness, fine lines, loss of firmness, and even breakouts. These changes are largely due to reduced estrogen levels, which affect hydration, collagen production, and overall skin health. To address these concerns, a combined skincare approach that includes both tretinoin and facial estriol can be highly effective. Let’s explore why this combination works so well for midlife skin.

‍

What is tretinoin and how does it work?

Tretinoin is a prescription-strength retinoid derived from vitamin A, widely regarded as one of the most effective treatments for aging skin. It works at the cellular level by:

• Increasing cell turnover, helping the skin shed old, damaged cells and replace them with fresh, healthy ones.
• Stimulating collagen production, which helps restore firmness and elasticity.
• Clearing clogged pores to prevent breakouts and reduce pore size.
• Evening out skin tone by fading dark spots, hyperpigmentation, and sun damage.

These actions make tretinoin a powerful agent in rejuvenating skin, smoothing texture, reducing fine lines, and promoting a healthy, radiant complexion.

What makes Evernow's tretinoin formula unique?

Evernow has enhanced traditional tretinoin with additional ingredients to cater specifically to hormonal skin:

• Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): Reduces inflammation, evens skin tone, and strengthens the skin barrier.
• Hyaluronic Acid: Attracts and locks in moisture, plumping the skin and reducing the appearance of fine lines.

This combination minimizes the irritation that often accompanies tretinoin use, especially for skin impacted by hormonal changes, providing a gentler approach while maintaining effectiveness.

How does facial estriol complement tretinoin?

For optimal results, Evernow offers Facial Estriol, a cream designed to address the hormonal imbalances that can affect skin during menopause. Here's why pairing facial estriol with tretinoin is so effective:

• Estriol cream: Supports hydration, helps restore skin elasticity, and strengthens the skin barrier, particularly in hormonally impacted skin.
• Tretinoin: Focuses on skin renewal and collagen stimulation to tackle aging signs like fine lines and wrinkles.

Together, these products offer a comprehensive approach to addressing both the visible and hormonal aspects of skin aging. Using estriol in the morning for hydration and tretinoin at night for renewal helps ensure your skin remains balanced, firm, and glowing.

How to use tretinoin and facial estriol

Morning routine: Apply facial estriol first, followed by your moisturizer and SPF.

Night routine: Apply tretinoin before bed after cleansing, starting 2-3 times per week and gradually increasing to nightly use as your skin adjusts.

How long does it take to see results?

Patience is key when using tretinoin, but with consistent use, you can expect to see:

• 2-3 weeks: Improved texture and brightness.
• 6-12 weeks: More even skin tone, smoother texture, and fewer breakouts.
• 3-6 months: Significant reduction in fine lines, wrinkles, and increased skin firmness.

Key takeaways

• Simplify your routine with cleanser, tretinoin, and moisturizer.
• Start slow with tretinoin, gradually increasing usage.
• Hydrate and protect with hyaluronic acid and the sandwich method if needed.
• Use facial estriol in the morning for added hydration and firmness.
• Commit to daily SPF to protect your results and maintain healthy skin.
