Can Progesterone Facial Creams Be Used While On Birth Control Pills?
I wanted to know if it is safe to use a progesterone/estrogen facial cream while taking birth control pills, I ve been using a progesterone/estrogen cream 3 days so far, I m 29 and using birth control pills and I want to know if there is any risk of lowering the effectiveness of the pill while using the cream. Thanks in advance,

Hi,
You can use progesterone fascial cream while on birth control pills as there is no significant systemic absorption in this use, which can hamper effects of oral pills.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
