In two words - it doesn't!
This is what is says on this website about progesterone cream:
"Natural" progesterone cream is available on private prescription in varying strengths. Studies have shown inconsistent results on effect on menopausal symptoms. Claims for a protective effect on bones have not been confirmed. Women who take systemic estrogen for menopausal symptoms must also take progestogen to protect the womb lining from being stimulated by the estrogen. Progesterone cream is not suitable for giving protection to the womb lining and should not be relied on for this purpose.
https://www.menopausematters.co.uk/otherpreps.php
All the positive reviews about it will be from the manufacturers or private practitioners usually from US where they make lots of money from it. it contains a very small amount of progesterone some of which is absorbed but not in any significant quantity so please don't waste your money. Some individual testimonies from women will say that it has worked - but this is most likely to be due to placebo (and there are cheaper ways of achieving this effect!) or because hormone levels are changing anyway, as they do during peri-menopause.
What symptoms are you looking to alleviate?

My worst symptoms are low mood, foggy head and muscle aches, I can cope with the hot flushes, the main one I would like to improve on is the low mood.......

St. John's wort can be good for low mood. So is worth trying. Get a good brand. DG x
