A vulvul/vaginal moisturiser is a good option for peri/menopausal women whose tissues become dryer as oestrogen drops.1
Moisturisers don't solve the underlying problem--only localised or systemic oestrogen cream can reliably do that--but they are proven to help. 2
It is advised that women choose a product that is optimally balanced in terms of both osmolality and pH and is physiologically most similar to natural vaginal secretions. Balance Activ has a slightly higher pH than most other similar products. 2
But it also contains hyaluronic acid which has been shown to be comparable to vaginal oestrogen in a quality systematic review.3
