I tried (and overall liked) a protocol in which I used 2 clicks AM, 1 click PM. 200mg/ml cream.
I got labs in the morning about 12 hours after previous evening application/before morning application, and did labs again later that afternoon about 4 or 5 hours after morning application.
The labs were almost exactly the same.
Based on this and subjective results of how I felt, I believe cream is more steady than one might think.
