Where to Apply Progesterone Cream
Progesterone cream is best applied to areas of the body where the cream can be absorbed best by the skin. Generally, areas that have increased blood flow are ideal.
Apply cream to the soft skin of the inner arms, inner thighs, abdomen or chest. Much of the absorption will occur through the palms of your hands while rubbing it in, so rub it in well before washing your hands. Want to try it on your face or neck? Try a small area first to ensure you tolerate it as these areas can be more sensitive in some individuals.
A particular study found that the face area absorbed better than most areas except the genitalia and underarms which posted close to 100% absorption[1] Progesterone Cream absorbs readily in the body as it bypasses the liver and is utilized in certain hormone receptors just as a women’s own progesterone is.
