Once I understood that Alloy's approach is rooted in hormone science and physiology, I decided to try it myself.

It changed the way I think about how skincare is at this stage of life.

Alloy's M4 line includes the M4 Face Cream, M4 Face Serum, and M4 Eye Cream.

These are prescription strength formulas made with Estriol, the gold standard hormone your body stops producing naturally, and they are backed by clinical research.

Women are seeking smoother looking skin, improved firmness, and a brighter, more even tone.

If your skin is changing, your skincare should change too.

With Alloy, you consult with a doctor and receive expert guidance and have your treatment delivered right to your door.

Head to myalloy.com and use code MCH20.

That's MCH20 to get $20 off your first order.

Perimenopause is not early menopause.

It is its own distinct biological phase.

And it has been largely ignored.

My new book, The New Perimenopause, is about the seven to 10 years before your period stop.

A transition that is anything but gentle.

Hormones fluctuate wildly.

And for many women, this is when the anxiety, brain fog, sleep disruption, weight changes, mood shifts, joint pain, and that unsettling feeling of, I don't feel like myself anymore, begin.

Long before anyone says the word menopause.

Perimenopause often starts quietly.

It shows up in the brain first, then the body, then everywhere else.

And too often, women are told nothing is wrong.
