A study compared topical estradiol to estriol on the facial skin of aging women. After 6 months, pore size and wrinkle depth decreased from 61 to 100% in both groups. Overall skin effects (skin hydration, firmness, pore size, elasticity and wrinkle depth) showed that estriol was superior and no hormonal side effects were noted with facial application of estriol.
In another study, topical retinol, a precursor of retinoic acid, has been shown to have anti-aging benefits. According to a 1 year study topical use of stabilized retinol “can significantly improve the signs of photoaging, and improvements in photodamage continue with prolonged use”.
