Every day in the United States, approximately 6,000 women enter menopause. This significant life change brings about a sharp decrease in estrogen levels, leading to noticeable changes in the skin. Estrogen plays a key role in maintaining skin elasticity and moisture. As estrogen levels decline, the skin produces fewer natural collagens and oils, often resulting in dryness. To combat this, a good moisturizer becomes essential. Stripes Dew As I Do Ectoine + Vit C Brightening & Hydrating Cream is specifically formulated to address the four main concerns of menopausal skin.
The Benefits
Naomi Watts, the founder and chief creative officer of Stripes, shares her personal experience with early menopause and the struggles she faced. The moisturizer is designed to provide support and solutions for women going through menopause, offering relief from dryness, discomfort, and hormonal changes. Packed with antioxidants, ectoine, and sustainably sourced squalane, the cream effectively hydrates the skin, restores vitality, balances skin tone, and improves firmness over time, reducing the visibility of fine lines.
While I have not personally experienced menopause, feedback from women in my circle who have used the moisturizer has been overwhelmingly positive. They praised its floral scent, silky texture, and effective moisturization. One tester mentioned feeling hydrated throughout the day, despite having very dry skin. The recyclable pump packaging was also a bonus, ensuring cleanliness and ease of use.
Key Ingredients
The cream contains essential ingredients such as Vitamin B, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, ectoine, squalane, and orange stem cells.
How to Use It
Apply one to two pumps of the cream in the morning after serums. Allow it to absorb for a minute or two before applying sunscreen on top for optimal results.
