How should vaginal estrogen cream be applied for best results?

For best results with vaginal estrogen cream, here at Alloy we recommend the following approach:

  • Apply a small amount of the cream either inside the vagina or directly to the vulva or urethra, depending on where your symptoms are most bothersome. The cream is designed to be flexible and can be tailored to your needs.
  • Use the cream consistently as directed by your doctor. Most women see maximum improvement in symptoms like dryness, itching, burning, painful sex, and frequent UTIs within 4 to 12 weeks.
  • The cream is low-dose and works locally, so it rejuvenates the vaginal and surrounding tissues, restores moisture, improves elasticity, and helps maintain a healthy vaginal pH.
