We all know that 50 is the new 30—but unfortunately, our skin didn’t get that memo. One minute you’re rocking a dewy glow, and the next… dry patches, fine lines, and mystery sagging that seems to appear overnight. Welcome to menopause! It’s a beautiful new chapter, yes—but your skin might be throwing a bit of a tantrum.
If your moisturizer is no longer cutting it and retinol is making your skin feel like it went on a beach vacation without sunscreen, don’t worry. There’s hope, and it comes dermatologist-recommended.
Charlotte-based dermatologist Elizabeth Rostan, M.D., has a go-to solution for menopausal skin that’s changing the game: DefenAge Skincare.
Why Your Skin Suddenly Feels Like Sandpaper
As estrogen levels decline during menopause, your skin can become thinner, drier, and noticeably less elastic. (Translation: crepey skin, dull tone, and sagging where there used to be bounce.) “Estrogen is essential for healthy skin, heart, bones, and other organs,” explains Dr. Rostan. “Without it, skin becomes thinner and drier, with more wrinkles and sagging.”
Cue the hero product…

DefenAge – The Secret Weapon for Menopausal Skin
Dr. Rostan recommends DefenAge because it doesn’t just treat the surface—it goes deeper, triggering your body’s natural skin regeneration process. The magic? Defensins: patented, naturally occurring molecules that activate dormant skin cells. Think of them as your skin’s wake-up call, nudging it to behave like it’s back in its prime.
Unlike retinol (which can be harsh and increase sun sensitivity), DefenAge stimulates fresh, healthy cell growth without causing inflammation or damage. It’s like a gentle reset button for your complexion. Dr. Rostan particularly likes it for post-menopausal skin because of its ability to renew the upper layers, boosting strength and resilience in more fragile skin.

Pro Tip: Consider Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)
While great skincare is a must, Dr. Rostan also encourages women to talk to their doctors about HRT. “Estrogen has numerous health benefits that should be considered in order to maximize post-menopause health and life quality,” she notes. Because glowing skin is wonderful—but total wellness? Even better.
