DHEA Cream (30 mL)
DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) is a hormone naturally produced by the adrenal glands and plays an important role in supporting overall health. DHEA Cream is a topical product designed to help supplement hormone levels directly through the skin. It’s often used by people looking to improve skin texture, firmness, or address signs of aging, especially as DHEA levels decline with age. The cream is absorbed locally, helping nourish the skin and support hormonal balance without requiring oral supplements.
When applied to the skin, DHEA is absorbed and may be converted into other hormones like estrogen and testosterone. These hormones are essential for maintaining skin thickness, elasticity, and moisture. DHEA can support collagen production, which helps reduce wrinkles and fine lines. It may also improve hydration, enhance skin repair, and support resilience against environmental stressors. The goal is to provide targeted hormonal support that helps keep the skin healthy and youthful-looking.
DHEA Cream should not be used by individuals who have hormone-sensitive conditions such as breast, ovarian, or prostate cancer. People with liver problems, cardiovascular issues, or those taking other hormone treatments should consult their healthcare provider before using this cream. It’s important to use DHEA Cream only as directed and not exceed recommended amounts, as hormones are powerful and need to be handled carefully.
DHEA can interact with other hormone-related treatments, including birth control pills, hormone replacement therapy, or medications for thyroid disorders. Always discuss with a doctor if you’re on prescription medications or supplements before using DHEA Cream to avoid unwanted side effects or interference.
Most users tolerate DHEA Cream well, but some may experience mild irritation such as redness, itching, or dryness at the application site. Rarely, hormonal side effects like acne, hair thinning, or increased facial hair can occur if the cream is overused or applied in excessive amounts. Long-term or improper use may lead to hormonal imbalances, so careful monitoring is essential.
DHEA Cream is generally not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women. Hormonal ingredients may affect fetal development or pass into breast milk, potentially impacting a baby’s growth or hormone levels. If you are pregnant, trying to conceive, or nursing, consult your healthcare provider before using this cream to ensure both your safety and the baby’s wellbeing.
