# Facial Areas Most Affected by Topical Estrogen Cream

> Learn which facial areas may benefit most from topical estrogen cream, especially under-eye skin, eyelids, and other thin, dry areas prone to fine lines.

## Which facial areas may show the most visible benefits from adding a topical estrogen cream?

The facial area that gets called out most specifically is the delicate skin under the eyes, and the eyelids can be a very noticeable spot too. Dr. Ellen Gendler says she’s used topical estrogen under her eyes for years, and more broadly on her face and neck. In general, the thinner, drier parts of the face, where fine lines and loss of elasticity show up first, may show the clearest visible change.

Here at Alloy, [M4 Face Cream Rx](https://www.myalloy.com/solutions/m4) is made for overall facial skin, and [M4 Eye Cream Rx](https://www.myalloy.com/solutions/m4-estriol-peptide-eye-serum) is designed for the eye area. If you want the dermatologist’s own explanation of where she applies it, this [short YouTube chapter](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1dwbvcJn08&t=16s) is helpful, and our article [Why Topical Estrogen Should Be Part of Your Skincare](https://www.myalloy.com/blog/why-topical-estrogen-should-be-part-of-your-skincare) goes into more detail.
