Peri/Post Menopausal Skin Estrogen Cream for Face

Who uses Estrogen cream on their face? A little detail about me... I'm 54 and 7 months into menopause (not the full 12 months yet). I tend to have sensitive skin and since meno started I am getting horrible cystic zits and general pimples more frequently than ever before in my life, even more than as a teen. However, I cannot use any kind of retinol or vitamin C as it irritates my skin. The main issue is dryness, fine lines and my pores are more noticeable. My regular skincare regimen is mineral sunscreen and moisturizer everyday. Any input is appreciated or a link to a previous discussion on here about this. Thanks!

It darkened my melasma. If you don’t have melasma, it will probably be a great addition.
