Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.
Rules…
- Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
- Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
- Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
- No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
- New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.

I'm curious on your opinion on copper peptides? I'm still not 100% on them, and as I also use tretinoin I'm thinking that that is probably doing the heavy lifting anyway (and has a long track record too)
Also a question about the estrogen, are you using vaginal cream on your face? I've just recently heard that that's a thing now, if so how is that working for you? And do you know how it compares to hrt gel (the stuff you can use instead of patches)
I'd love to know how you've been getting on with both
Cheers
Yes at night the vaginal estrogen cream on my face, every second or third day. I do take 1 lmg oral estriol every day too as MHT so the face is just for skincare. I do know there are many receptors in the face. I had an estradiol day cream before but just using the vaginal estriol seems to work better - I started out just using it on my lips (the ones on my face) out of desperation when they were so dry, and since it worked for that I stopped buying the day cream.
The copper peptide cream in the morning I do like - that and the dmae plus some microneedling is helping to keep my skin firmer. Esthetician says it's good too. The one I use is Tosowoong, and apparently the DermaE serum also has some so they play nice together (some ingredients will inactivate the copper, or cause irritation I don't think you can use it with vitamin C.)
