My guess is it might work fine for someone who has a regular, 28-day cycle and isn't sensitive to other ingredients in the cream. so maybe I ended up overdoing the cream & this caused me to break out more.
KOKONO BALANCE CREAM HOW TO
My cycles were pretty irregular when I started using it (and got even more irregular after I started using it), so it was difficult to figure out how to use the cream 14 days on and 14 days off as instructed - I would start it on day 14 as instructed and end up using it for 26 days or more. Toward the end my breakouts were almost like an allergic reaction: I would be fine, I would apply progesterone cream (usually to my arms or legs), and 20 minutes later would feel hot and itchy all over, especially on my face, and large cysts would form in a matter of seconds (the good news is they also went away fairly quickly when I stopped using progesterone). I'm not sure if this was because I didn't use it at the right time of the month, or if I was actually allergic to another ingredient in the cream.
KOKONO BALANCE CREAM SKIN
It seemed to improve my skin pretty dramatically at first - large, painful pimples would sort of disappear overnight! And then it seemed to make my skin worse a couple of months into using it. Progesterone cream didn't cause any weight gain that I noticed. Did you have it done through a regular MD, or an alternative medicine practitioner, or.? I'm curious, how did you manage to get tested for low progesterone? My doc wasn't interested in testing for it. I was never tested for low progesterone, but am pretty sure I have low progesterone (my estrogen and androgen levels tested normal, and estrogenic things like flax seed oil and spearmint tea make my skin worse). I haven't used it since January, but I did use bioidentical progesterone cream (pro-gest by emerita to be precise), for about 3 months back in Nov. I will mention it to the endocrinologist when I have my appointment, but I wanted to get input from people who have actually used it to control their imbalance and acne.Īre there any other herbal treatments that might help regulate my progesterone? Most sources recommend vitex, which I already tried in the past, but that also affects estrogen and it also influenced my androgens so I wouldn't want to risk it again. Is anyone still having success with progesterone cream? I'm a bit nervous to use it as I read that it can cause unwanted weight gain and fat storage.
I read some old threads about progesterone creams (yam-derived are supposed to be the best, like the one from kokoro). For now, my main concern is boosting my progesterone without messing with any other hormones like estrogen or testosterone. I found out I have very low progesterone, while all my other hormones seem to be in the normal range (however doctors determine that). I posted elsewhere about my specific condition, so I won't go into it here.
