If you've read any of my blogs, you know that I'm a huge fan of Inner Balance. I've been using their HRT cream since July of 2025. Not only do I feel great, but my sleep has greatly improved. I fall asleep quicker and I stay asleep longer.


As more and more studies come out that speak to the benefits of estrogen for our brains, bones and heart - I'd literally bathe in it if I could!


Recently, Inner Balance introduced a Estriol Face cream so I had to try it.

Types of Estrogen


There are three main natural types of estrogen in the body:


Estradiol (E2): The most powerful estrogen, primarily made by the ovaries before menopause, vital for reproductive health, bone, heart, and brain function.


Estrone (E1): The main estrogen after menopause, produced in fat tissue; it's the weakest but can convert to estradiol when needed.


Estriol (E3): The weakest estrogen, produced in large amounts by the placenta during pregnancy to support fetal development and childbirth.

Inner Balance Estriol Face Cream Ingredients


In addition to having Estriol in it, there are a few other added ingredients that make this face cream so magical.


Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): A multitasking vitamin that brightens skin, fades dark spots, reduces redness, and strengthens the skin barrier for a clear, even complexion.


Tretinoin: A gold-standard, FDA-approved ingredient that smooths wrinkles, clears acne, and reverses sun damage by boosting cell turnover and collagen.


Estriol: Clinically shown to improve skin firmness, reduce wrinkle depth by up to 60%, and stimulate collagen types I & III.


Estriol Face Cream - Where to buy


I'm a sucker for anything related to skin, hair and general women's health. As an HRT patient reviewer, I've also tried Alloy's Face Cream as well as Winona's face cream. All three brands of face cream contain Estriol, but each has it's own "added" ingredients to make them uniquely their own.



Image of Alloy Face Cream Duo
Alloy's M4 and Tretinoin Face Cream Duo - lasts 90 days. These two products are currently $240 for the pair or an average of $2.66 per day.
Image of Winona Estriol Skin Cream with Tretinoin
Winona's Estriol Cream with Tretinoin lasts about 30 days. $150 or $3.33 per day for the single bottle.

Inner Balance's Body Matched Anti-Aging Cream is $93 per bottle (3 month subscription) and lasted me for 38 days which averages out to $2.44 per day. This makes Inner Balance the best value of the three that I've tried.

Estriol Face Cream with Tretinoin Benefits


Just like different forms of estrogen help with menopause symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats or vaginal dryness, face creams with estrogen variations can result in clearer, firmer, more radiant skin - matched to your hormones and your age.


Inner Balance's Anti-Aging Face Cream is $93 per bottle ($2.44 per day) as compared to Alloy at $2.66 per day and Winona at $3.33 per day. I was able to get 38 days from the Inner Balance, so this makes it a better value than either Alloy or Winona, based on actual cost and how many days I got from the respective bottles.

Estriol Face Creams Before and After Photos


I've been on some version of Estriol Face cream since June 2024, so 18 months thus far. My first to try was Alloy, then I tried Winona and then I tried Inner Balance.


Here are my before "any" estriol face cream photos and then my after Inner Balance for four weeks photos, 18 months later. The deep wrinkles are much less visible in the side-angle photos and then in the full face photos, the dark circles under my eyes are less noticeable.


For full transparency, I noticed the same benefits from Alloy's cream, but now that I've been able to try Inner Balance and gage how long the bottle lasted, Inner Balance is more affordable per day than Winona and Alloy.

Anti Aging Cream for Women Cost


Prior to being able to try and compare Inner Balance, I was already a fan and using estriol cream on a daily basis. However, I will say that now that I have determined that Inner Balance has a less per day cost and the fact that it glides on so smooth, again I'm a huge fan of inner balance and what they have been able to bring to the perimenopause/menopause community.


This company continues to amaze me at the products it creates. Dr. Sarah Daccarett has outdone herself again with the Body Matched Anti-Aging Face Cream. I wonder what's next? My guess . . . maybe an under eye cream. Only time will tell if I'm right. LOL

And now that I've been able to try all three, compare costs and how long and how much use I got from each bottle, I can positively tell you that the Inner Balance Body-Matched Anti-Aging Face Cream is the best value for results and daily cost. Use Coupon Code Peggy10 for 10% off your order.
