Restore DHEA Intimate Cream for Vaginal & Vulvar Care
Physician-formulated · Patent pending · 30mg DHEA
100% plant-derived · No synthetic preservatives · No prescription needed
Some changes in midlife ask for something more than a moisturizer. Restore was made for those changes.
Physician-formulated and patent pending, Restore delivers 30mg of plant-derived DHEA through a liposomal system designed to work within tissue itself — supporting the local biology that governs comfort, hydration, and resilience during midlife. A conditioning cream built around how the tissue actually works - locally, not systemically.
At a glance:
- Contains 23mg DHEA — a precursor your tissue converts locally, not a hormone
- Designed to reach the tissue cells, not just the surface
- Supports both estrogen and androgen pathways — not just estrogen
- No systemic hormone exposure — stays where it's applied
- Plant-derived, no synthetic preservatives, no prescription needed
- Apply 3x weekly — not daily
Why 24mg? Vulvar liposomal delivery concentrates DHEA within tissue cells rather than systemically. The science behind the dose →

How the Formulation Works
Most DHEA products work at the surface. Restore is designed to go deeper.
The liposomal delivery system carries DHEA directly into vulvar tissue cells — not just onto the skin. Once inside the cells, your body converts it locally into what the tissue needs — both estrogens and androgens, in the balance your own tissue determines.
This matters because vulvar tissue isn't just estrogen-dependent. The deeper layers — the ones that govern sensation, elasticity, blood flow, and arousal response — are primarily driven by testosterone and other androgens. Estrogen therapy addresses the surface. Testosterone support what's underneath.
Because this conversion happens within the cells themselves, it stays local rather than circulating through the body. Your tissue uses what it makes. That's why Restore can deliver a meaningful dose without the systemic hormone exposure of other approaches.

What to Know Before Using Restore
Why does midlife tissue need different care?
Is Restore hormonal?
No. Restore does not contain active hormones. It provides precursor compounds that vulvar tissue may convert locally as part of normal tissue signaling.
Who is this product for?
Does Restore increase estrogen levels?
Restore is not designed to increase systemic estrogen levels. Activity occurs locally within the tissue and depends on individual tissue capacity.
What does Restore not replace?
Is Restore hormone replacement therapy?
No. Restore does not function as hormone replacement therapy and does not replace estrogen or other hormones.
How does Restore approach intimate care differently?
Can Restore be used alongside estrogen therapy?
Some individuals choose to use Restore alongside estrogen therapy when additional local tissue support is desired. Usage should align with individual needs.
