Estriol Cream

My friend just moved to the UK and is looking to buy Estriol 0.3% cream. She wants to buy it online.
Does anyone know where she can get it?

Dr Fox might prescribe it.

Ovestin 1mg can be bought over the counter. I think the cream your friend wants is prescription strength so will only be available on prescription.

Thank you! I just looked but unfortunately the 0.3% isn't sold there. I sent them a message asking and will let you know

The difference between 0.3% and 0.1% :

Facial Creams (0.3%): Specifically compounded for skin absorption to boost firmness, elasticity, and hydration
Vaginal Creams (0.1%): Standard UK prescriptions (e.g., Ovestin, Ovesse) are intended solely to relieve vaginal atrophy and dryness. They are formulated with different bases (which may include ingredients like sodium lauryl sulfate), making them poorly suited and potentially irritating for facial use

Oh she wants it for her face. Apologies.
