SOOO glad to find this, I'm 54 and milia has been the bane of my existence for decades! Hard to find reliable info on this. Thanks for posting!
The short version: There isn't much that can be done for milia at home, see a dermatologist.

I’ve made an appointment!
@@elvadrum8539 My dermatologist didn't do anything to it. Applied the ointments such as "benzyl peroxide", etc., for 4 months but no results.
Update! The dermatologist wouldn’t remove my milia. She said to see an optometrist or ophthalmologist because it was in my lower lash line. I’m using Curology by the way and since 5 months ago I notice that It’s gone down to a minute fleck. No worries.
she looks like Nancy from Stranger Things
I get this comment alot, lol
I always refer to you as my "online dermatologist" to friends and today I went to my "real dermatologist" for a follow up appointment for my acne and she was so impressed with how clear and beautiful my skin is! Yay Differin! Simplifying my skin care routine has done wonders for my skin and I have you to thank for that!
Awesome to hear Ms Christine!
I have just started differin. What are your thoughts a year later? Do you still use it?
Lazer treatment against milia -
Ive had milia since i was 13 or so, and ive had them removed everyother year for 13 years now with lazertreatment. So basically what happens is that the doc uses this lazer pen and burns the milia to the root. It hurts quite alot but for a very short time so i prefer that way much more than the needle. Also one side effect is that it takes about 1.5 weeks for it to heal so youll walk arouns with 1st degree burns on your face for a few days untill you can remove the dry crusts. Dont remove these too early as it may cause scaring.
Also if you do remove them too fast ive found that they appear again after a while on the same spot. So let it heal and let the crusts fall off by its own or by a gentle touch.
I hope this information may help anyone in need.
I found I got milia under my eyes with heavy eye creams. After I stopped those they went away
Honestly, I think something like that is causing my milia. I use a few products and have started using the Hada Labo premium lotion and while it is a good product, I think I just have to admit it isn't for my skin type. It is too hydrating for my combination skin. I am going to cut it out and stop using eye cream and see how it goes.
Feel like I got them from eye cream from avon.
Agree. I started using less eye cream and it’s helped.
I get it whenever I use any Serum or eye cream
Really? They naturally went away by themselves without any treatments??
Fortunately, I have not been troubled by this issue, but now I know just to head to the dermatologist! Thanks for all your tips and sensible info I know I can trust. I have been washing my face, leaving it wet, applying Hydroboost and my Cerave moisturizer and my skin is so happy and looks great. I never go without sunscreen and purchased the cutest SPF 50 hat for wearing around town. Keep the videos coming ~ we love them!
Thanks Ms Susan and glad to hear you enjoyed :)
If you have milia PLEASE do not use MAYBELLINE FIT ME CONCEALER it will make more milia
Don't use Eucerin Aquaphor pra cicalfate too
I wish I would've known that before lol I did develop them, not too sure if it's because of this or the bye bye undereye by it cosmetics because it's a very thick consistency
I have their foundation
Summary
Milia are small, firm, white bumps that can occur on the skin. They are benign cysts that can appear on the face, under the eyes, and other areas. While there are no creams that can fully get rid of milia, a dermatologist can remove them safely. Different treatments like prescription retinoids and electro-surgery can be effective. Sunscreen and sun protection are important to prevent milia. It is recommended to see a dermatologist for evaluation and management. Skin cancers can sometimes resemble milia, so it’s important to get a proper diagnosis.

💡 While there is limited prevention for milia, seeking professional treatment is the best approach for those who are bothered by them.
Thank you for your video! How do I go about choosing an eye cream(or good things to look for in the ingredients) that doesn't cause/make milia worse?
Great video again👍🏻 I’ve had milia for about 13 years I had Fraxel laser that took them away but after a few months they came back. I definitely believe eye creams has caused them. So no more eye creams unless it’s a light gel based. What do you think Andrea about gel eye cream? My Dr gave me Retin A to use for a month then come back in for removal. I am still using Retin A but have not went in for removal. I am soon as holidays are over. They are very noticeable and of course to me I see them over anything else. I had used a collagen serum and feel it caused them in beginning. As our eyes show age first the milia does not help at all. Thank you for your information and sharing. You are my go to for every skin issue👍🏻♥️
I use sunscreen, yet I have a lot of them under my eyes. I’m guessing from sun damage from when I was younger. My daughter is very skin conscious and has gotten them randomly on her face her whole life.
Dr.Dray, you are so appreciated for sharing all your knowledge with your viewers! Thank you again. Love and Light 💖Carli
Thanks Ms Carli :) Happy weekend to you
Thanks for posting this. I just wanted to share that, years ago I got an eruption of milia all over my chin. My dermatologist put me on Tazorac cream at the highest strength for 6 months, and it was hell, because I had acne as well, but they all went away without scarring and have never come back since!
Thanks! Glad to hear they cleared up...tazorac can be very drying, but is a good medication for acne
"Or a butcher's knife!" Haha that is the best thing that I have heard all day! Have a great weekend!
lol :)
Pretty cool that they put a facial skin cancer commercial on before your video. First time I didn't skip an ad.
Thank you for talking about milia today! Very informative and much appreciated. Great video as always 😊 have a great weekend!
OMG i had no idea such a commercial existed!! Happy weekend to you and the fam Ms Brandi :)
To save you time basically, do not try to remove them on your own use spf to prevent and go to dermatologist for treatment
I recently had the electrosurgery at my dermatologists office to get rid of sebaceous hyperplasia on my face, and after only two weeks my skin looks great! Other than a bit of redness where the spots were, there is no sign of bumps/rough texture anymore! This is the only thing that has worked and now I use different to help prevent them further. While it was uncomfortable for a couple seconds (no topical anesthetic), I highly recommend it!
Thanks so much for sharing this Ms Amy and I am so happy to hear this worked out well for you :)
Amy L. Kamran Disfani awesome! Is your skin still doing good? Also, how much did it cost you? 😮
I’ve been using Cerave (tub version) on my face and I have been having issues with Milia. And I just learned milia occurs from petroleum, and that Cerave moisturizer has petroleum in it. Is this true petroleum causes milia?
I've had the same issue with Cerave SA Moisturizing Cream
Alli B. .. yes.. I got cera v moisturizer cream.... n my face strarted getting white bumps on my face
Surmaee Kelkar did u get rid of them
an_c I stoped using cerave moisturizer... so my morning routine is cleansing my face with cetaphil cleanser den I apply neutrogena hydro boost gel cream on damp face n den neutrogena hydro boost sunscreen spf50 n in night time ... clean n clear face wash .. then applying bioderma atoderm creame on damp face n den apply tamanu oil 1-2 drops on face ...on. Alternate days n other days I apply neutrogena rapid wrinkle regenerating retinol creame
@@bekind4137 has this reduced your milia?
I’ve gotten amazing results from simply dabbing the milia with rubbing alcohol on a Q-tip just after moisturizer specifically on the very spot. Localized and consistently applying this method at least one a Day did the trick for me...simply from too much moisture in that particular pore. Babies get them and the dry up and fall off. Sometimes less is more. 😊
Sheri Taylor so far rubbing alcohol was the only thing that got rid of mine!
What percentage please?
Love your videos Dr. ! Thanks for the honest and fact based information.
Thanks so much and I hope you are having a great friday :)
Pauses video to get butcher's knife out of bathroom and back into kitchen. hahaha! Not really, but I do hate milia! Pesky little things! :-)
Step away from the kitchen...lol :)
Dr. Dray, thank you for these Q&A videos. Have a great weekend!
Thanks so much and you too!
Well, I just returned from my derm appt, and the one thing near my eye is milia. I suspected that, but I wanted to be sure that it wasn't skin cancer. I thought about asking them to remove it, but it's not really bothersome. Rather than spend the money on a non-essential procedure that my insurance won't cover, I'll use that money to buy more sunscreen -- and maybe some Coolibar! Have a great day.
I'd love your take on how to treat both at home and in office sebaceous hyperplasia.
You could basically swap out the word milia for sebaceous hyperplasia in this video and the message would be the same, lol. No at home remedy for sebaceous hyperplasia...and when i say no at home remedy....i mean it, so don't fall for a package claim.
There are claims that these ingredients are a miracle for those like me that have sebaceous hyperplasia. onized water with Silver ions, Emu Oil, Sulfur USP (in microencapsulated form), Blackcurrant (Ribes Nigrum) Seed Oil, Borage (Borago officinals) Seed Oil, Azelaic Acid , Primrose Oil, Safflower Oil, Tea Tree (Melaleuca Alternifolia) Oil, Serine, Zinc Oxide USP(in microencapsulated form),Camphor, Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract, White Willow Bark Extract, Vitamin E (d¦Á Tocopherol), Grapefruit seed extract. This is from a cream that Brianna Stanko shared on her channel and she said that it worked at making hers almost non existent. What are your thoughts?
Thank you Dr. Dray for addressing sebaceous hyperplasia in your comments here. So frustrating to deal with. Your videos and sharing your knowledge are wonderful. Love your humor on top of it all.
@@MakeupForMatureSkin hope. None of those topical ingredients are going to do anything for sebaceous hyperplasia..
Helpful video. I have a small milia and since using tretinoin it has gotten smaller...I think that in another 3 or 4 months it will be gone.
Cute hair Dr. Dray,
You’re an amazing woman. Thank you!
thanks!
I feel like she is my skin’s mother and I’m the babysitter.
Hello i'm using a PHA moistrizer cream by COSRX as a night cream and i have milia in my eye area . so is the pha good or bad for milia ?
Those derma rollers are for the birds. They leave tiny holes in your skin. They say it allows your skincare products to penetrate deeper into the skin. But who would in their right mind would deliberately put tiny holes in their skin. Crazy if you ask me.
they are hazardous
Isn't that how Fraxl works? The results speak for themselves so the idea isn't crazy if it's done right...
This overview is very helpful! Such a frustrating skin issue... also you new hair cut is smashing.
Sun screen increases my “milia” or whatever those tiny pumps under my skin, what alternatives to sunscreen there are?
I'm extremely prone to milia & my skin can develop milia within hours. I had to use sunscreen when i went to Florida & so far the RESIST Super-Light Wrinkle Defense SPF 30 from Paula's Choice has been the only sunscreen that does not give me milia.
Try it out.
Carrot seed oil is a natural sun screen apparently. Dont think its waterproof though.
Sarsha Rivers this isn’t true. There are no alternatives to properly formulated sunscreen
Seek shade. Wear protective clothing and a wide-brim hat. Although you may not be able to wear sunscreen, you can still avoid sun exposure
Make sure to properly cleanse the skin with a double cleansing method (oil and normal cleanser). That may reduce it
sad im the rare case of someone being born with facial milia and getting it my entire life
Hi Dr.Dray!!! Love ur videos and specially ur advice!! ... Is it truth that One of the causes of Milia can b using oils or creams too greasy? And what do u think of using Glycolic Acid from The Ordinary to remove’m (tapping’m with a q-tip?)
Thank you for this information. Milia is a problem that has been frustrating me and now I know why it doesn't resolve! Thank you for sharing this information.
they are pesky for sure! glad my video was helpful :)
Thank you do much for this I have milia under my eyes and it's been bothering me so much ..
✨Love your videos! Have been religiously watching all your uploads. Learning so much from you and so stoked to have finally found such quality content! Cheering you on from Australia! ♥️♥️♥️
Thanks!!
Dr. Dray!!! Because of how accutane “resets” pores to act normal, will accutane also get rid of/fix milia during its process of fixing acne as well??
murph murphy I am on accutane for 3mos dear but before taking accutane I don’t have milia they jus came out Aftr one month I’m so disappointed
I have seen milia after Accutane 😔
Fantastic information! Thank you for your candidness and expertise. So glad to have found your channel :)
Wow, thank you! This was so informative and helpful. I started getting these a couple of years ago. Your video was the best overall info that I've found.
They are frustrating
I started using a toner with lactic acid and they disappeared in just two weeks
ツsalihah which toner do you use
Yea which one?
Jejak
ツsalihah which one
Which toner is it??
Thank you so much for this! Should certain moisturizers or creams be avoided (i.e. Does that contribute to formation)? I have been hesitant to use under eye cream for fear of getting more milia! Thank you!!
No, moisturizers do not contribute to formation
Just the right video I needed. Thanks Dr Dray
Glad it was helpful and happy friday :)
My dermatologist wanted to charge me $150 per milia under my eyes. I have about eight and they are noticeable. I just could not afford it. Thanks for your advice. I will follow your lead!
Kim Cristo , find another derm, as this is a super elevated price. Greetings from Illinois!
@@progqueen5952 Yeah I think it's because I live right outside NYC. Everything is so expensive!
My derm charged the same (I am in NYC) - and I saw others who charged much more. I bit the bullet. Worth every cent! And I can't blame my derm. He recommended I live with them rather than spend my money. They were driving me crazy.
@@seechangenyc280 Yes, it is worth it. I am an actress and it is important they are gone in my line of work. But ouch -- that price tag is a little too much for me right now. I am going to try Dr Dray's suggestions and see if it works while I save up!
@@kimcristo I hear ya!
Does putting Vaseline around the nose to prevent retin A from spreading there cause milia?
I’m having same issue as I use Vaseline (Cerave) all over my face to prevent deta ness frm retin a and it’s working really great without any problems but hv noticed some milia bumps under eye area.. wonder cerave ointment (Vaseline) causing it?
First, I love and really appreciate your videos. I'm so interested in skincare, and it's really cool to get info from a professional who's so real with her comments! I'm especially interested in all of your Asian beauty reviews :) (I'm all for putting weird things (snail secretion!) on my face if it's helpful, but it's often hard to find out what ingredients are trendy and helpful vs. what's just trendy.
Sorry for the completely off-topic question--do you use bimap/something like that? Your eyelashes are amazing, and they've been looking even longer lately. Also, if I don't really have an acne problem, would you still recommend Differin as a retinol for anti-aging? Thanks!
Thanks so much!! I don't use anything for eyelash growth, but thank you for the complement. I continue to use differin for acne control, as well as removing sun damaged skin cells. It is not fda approved for wrinkles, like tretinoin, however, is likely more effective in the realm of "anti-aging" than a cosmetic retinol (despite package/marketing claims).
Would the Aztec clay mask suck the keratin and oils trapped inside them?
Nope. If retinol won't work, clay won't work.
Dr. Dray, appreciate your vlogs especially with medical overall info. Helps me make informed choices.
based on the information in the video and commenters' experience, it sounds like milia form due to 2 factors: wounds - small wounds caused by eye-rubbing and shaving, AND oily moisturizers - using moisturizers containing oil when there are wounds on your face
Really enjoy watching your videos every day! So interesting and helpful. keep it up :)
Thanks so much Ms Alicia and happy friday to you :)
Got a very obvious milia under my eye. Applied diluted apple cider vinegar and tretinoin and it disappeared for 2 days.
For 2 days ir in 2 days?
I got rid of some of mine (which come on with too rich of a moisturizer) by using Pixi by Petra Glow tonic and occasional shaving my face. It takes a while but it worked. I still have one under one eye and on the cheek. I am on a chemo drug for Lupus so that may be why I'm prone to get them.
Thanks for sharing this! I am glad that some resolved. Hope you are having a great week :)
I have RA & I give myself Methotrexate Injections. I’ve been noticing some of these around my eyes. 😔💕
I have that glow tonic but is that okay to use under the eyes?? Because that’s where I get them
ruclips.net/video/OvipPPFJMe8/видео.html
I've had two facials at a derm to extract milia and was prescribed finacea foam. I find after I use the foam I can remove some on my own. Do you recommend the foam?
Finacea foam=azelaic acid 15%
Thank you for the video. Are some eye gels or creams that can be used that would less likely contribute to milia near the cheek or eye area? I think some creams or cosmetics can contribute to milia. Your advice is appreciated.
thanks a lot for oily skin care routines! lots of love!!💕💕
keep em coming Dr!!
do you have any opinion on Neutrogena hydraboost Chinese version! yeah that sounds weird hehehe
Thanks so much!! I don't have an opinion on chinese hydroboost as i never used or encountered it
Suuucks, I've had one little milia on my right eye lid for a few months now and it bugs me like crazy :( Takes everything in me not to poke or dig at it. I thought it was a stye at first but it doesn't appear to be leaving lmao I can't afford a derm and there's only one in my city with a crazy wait list (2yrs or something like that)
Dr Dray you’re so cute with short hair!!
I was so very glad to find your channel. I appreciate information from someone that delivers it in an enjoyable way. I know this isn't quite the same issue probably however, how would you address the bumpy patches that occur on skin like shoulders top of back in particular. I think the name starts with the letter K but not positive. I have read several articles about people retina this with Donell Body Tingle. I think it has 20% glycolic acid which is the active exfoliating ingredients. I would appreciate your opinion on this. Thank you for all the info you provide your subscribers. Have a good weekend. Thank you. Kat
kathy scott thanks Ms Kathy! Keratosis pilaris? I do have a video on tips for keratosis pilaris, so check it out if you are interested 👍🏼
Very helpful and as always, so enlightening - THANK YOU
Thanks!
Thank you for the video. I think one thing you may not have mentioned (which is how I believe I got them ) is heavy creams especially with mineral oils and other ingredients like paraffins
Me too. A heavy eye cream I believe did it. My under eye area is so dry. So I try heavier creams.
i pop my millia, and sometimes i can get a very small whites. but its still continous and it leaves scar? :(
what can i use to lighten scar and cure millia
yes it can lead to scarring
@@DrDrayzday please answer the question on how to get rid of it
Every time I get one I put some honey on it (I use raw honey but I'm not sure if it makes a difference) and after a couple days it's gone. I'm not sure what you could use for scars though :/
H i Dr.Dray,
Thank you for referring this video to me. I appreciate your honesty.
I see a dermatologist regularly. I have systemic lupus & have flares of the malar rash along with rosacea. I will consult with her.
Take care & have a good week end!
Debbie
Glad you found it Ms Debbie! Thank you so much for sharing this here in the comments.
Hi Dr. Dray! I understand these can't be removed at home but any suggestions for milia in the lips? Maybe just to soothe them a little?
I now have 4 milia bumps come up on my cheek and 2 on my head, to clean I use ponds as my 1st cleanser and follow up by either cerave SA cleanser or a clay type cleanser that's a bit gentler as my 2nd (I dont always double cleanse) I use 0.5% retinol in squalane and lactic acid 5% + AHA (not on same day) atleast once/twice a week each also, they're the only other things I use though. I use cerava moisturise cream as my moisturiser and I ALWAYS use suncream now and have done pretty much everyday for a year or so. So I've got no idea what's going on because I feel like my routine isn't that bad 😫
Thanks, really needed this one
Dr. Dray, I saw a local dermatologist and asked about this. I had several milia, two on my eye lids. He took sterile scissors and cut them out....I thought I was going to lose an eye or be blinded. Lol! Oy! When they pop up now (not on my eyelids tho), I take care of them myself and have been successful. Good to know there's really nothing I can do to prevent it from recurring. Thanks for your honesty!
they are frustrating for sure
Kim Cataldo how much did it cost
THANK YOU for the milia information. Did I understand that there is any cleanser or moisturizer that will help while I wait for an appointment??
description box; thanks!
Thank you for this video! Unfortunately I’ve been struggling with milia my whole life. I read in the comments that moisturizers do not cause milia but what about makeup? I’m very good about removing my makeup before bed and I don’t wear it as often.. but could makeup cause milia? Also should I be opting for oil free products or does that have no effect at all? Thanks again💘
nope; doesn't matter
What moisturizers dont cause it?
Thanks a bunch!
Great video!
Can you please suggest an eye cream for milia prone skin?
Yessss!! I really need this too! Ive noticed that I started getting milia after using eye cream
I had a milia under my eyes for a long time, and I used different facial wash, but didnt worked, until I found out about glycolic acid 7%. After few days it disappeared.
What brand and where did you purchase it?
honey chang by The Ordinary?
Thanks for another great Q&A! Butcher knife, ouch lol. I hope your Friday is going well!
Thanks Ms Sherry and you too!
Hello! I've been dealing with acne for 3 years now. It has never been too bad. Mostly white heads and zits but I never have more than 6 on my face. Not extremely bad. I have normal to dry skin. What do u think a dermatologist would recommend? Much love!!!
hard to say...but probably a variety of helpful topical medications and/or potentially a systemic medication
I just had 2 milia removed by my dermatologist. They were on my forehead and chin. I had never had this before and they appeared after my face turned red & was burning after using a product containing Niacinamide, which I now know I’m reactive to. I had had a 3rd one on my chin but after my dermatologist upped my Tretinoin to 0.1%, it went away.
have a great weekend dr dray! :)
thanks! you too :)
What are the bumps that are coverd by skin not white under eye and around eybrows?????
bahareh ghobadi , could be sebaceous hyperplasia. Check this out and see. Looks similar to milia, but fresh colored. Those have to be cauterised or froze off by derm. Please excuse spelling. Greetings from Illinois!
I would really like to start using an eye cream for anti aging. I am 27 and would like to prevent the fine lines. However, I don't want this milia. Do you recommend a good anti-aging eye cream that is light enough to not cause this?
Dr dray always recommends neutrogena retinol eye cream
Is it dangerous to have one under your eye? I am only 13 and I was worried because I have two under my left eye. This was very informative though, thank you for the great information!
no
Dr Dray okay thank you!
Good advise, but this suggestion is for good for rich people. Poor people can't afford.
Been using sunscreen and tretinoin daily for a year, but only got more and more milia… Had to burn them away with diathermy therapy.
I have milia around the eyes, on my cheeks, behind the ears, arms , neck and chest. On doing skin biopsy they came up with the conclusion that I have DLE. Also, I suffer from alopecia. Any advice would be of great help.
Very helpful, thank you!
...this has nothing to do with the video but I love your jawline
Thanks for this video, Dr. Dray. I enjoy all of your videos and greatly appreciate you taking the time to share all of this information with us! Have a great weekend! Rita
Thanks Ms Rita!!!
Mam it increases day by day how could i stop thr growth it seems really very bad on my face plz guide what to do?
I really do appreciate your expertise and all the information you provide. I am super grateful that I came across you on RUclips and the gram. 😚😚😚😚
Thanks so much Ms Danielle :)
Hi Dr. I'm a subscriber from Angola in Africa 😊 I really loveeee your videos, they are very informative and interesting. I'm a 35 yrs old and still fighting with stubborn acne special in my chin area. What are your thoughts on oral antibiotics to treat acne? All the best👍👍
Thanks!! So cool the global reach of YT. Antibiotics are a standard of care treatment for inflammatory acne
careful with antibiotics+birth control pills.
Butcher's knife! I died.
thanks! I've got a white dot near my eye and just realised its milia. doesn't really bother me that much. :)
Glad this was helpful :)
One is okay, but if you have 10 under eye, it's pretty darn annoying.
Dr. Dray, have your heard of Syringomas? How can i reduce or get rid of them? What skin care products should i use?
May Ger Vang yes. You cannot. There is no product for them
Some ppl have recommended retin A. Do you think that helps at all?
My dermatologist just removed milia for the second time from around my eyes today! She also has me put retinol on the area at night for some sort of “prevention” even though we really don’t know why I have/get them!
Jennifer Walker , I have them from allergies to ragweed, etc., and developed always rubbing my eyes quite roughly. Greetings from Illinois!
Prog Queen 59 .. I do have allergies.. and I do rub my eyes a LOT! So I need to watch that! Thanks for the info! Here in Virginia allergies run rampant! 😊
Do you think extractions are necessary during the differin "purge" phase?
sometimes a dermatologist might perform this on select lesions after careful examination...please don't do this yourself
I have a question, so I moved to California last year and never used sunscreen on my face previously (I lived in Oklahoma) I'm 23, and when i heard how much your skin needs sunscreen I started using Aveeno positively radiant which contains oxybenzone which I hear is really bad for you, so i switched to la rosche mineral zinc+titanium. I never once noticed these little bumps on my face, but ever since i started putting sunscreen on starting with the aveeno i've been getting milia (like directly under my eyelash) and I thought switching to the la rosche would fix it but pretty sure i am still getting them. my dermo gave me tretinoin cream but i'm scared to put it under my eyes constantly because the skin is so sensitive, and i'm also scared to try any sunscreens for fear of continuously getting them. do you have any advice? do you think the sunscreen could actually cause this?
no
Dr Dray z
Please describe the difference between milia and syringomas.
Hey Dr. Dray! I was wondering how long i should keep my sunscreen for? I've had this mineral sunscreen for a year but I'm not yet finished with the tube and as it is a very large tube I really don't want to waste it, should i just chuck it or is it still useful?
mineral sunscreen does not expire
Hi so what is a good face wash to use for skin that get white spots I’ve used cetaphil before but the white spots are still there I even put 1% cream on it they come and go
hello doctor, which product do you recommend for blackheads and whiteheads ??? I am using retin A, combined with benzoyl peroxide, it helps with pimples but it does not prevent the reappearance of whiteheads or blackheads all over the face which is my main problem, and my dermatologist does not explain which product is for my type of acne.
you are already using some of the best ingredients for this concern and i would not recommend anything else
Can we use AHA chemical expoliator on milia?? Please tell me please someone help me😭 i have 5 milia row wise near my eyebrow
OMG you look amazing in short hair
What is the difference between milia an syringoma.. I'm confused
A dermatogist referred me to a esthetician for removal. Is this normal instead of the dermatologist performing this procedure?
Yes
Can you recommend a sunscreen that I can use on my face that wont irritate my eyes? I have PCOS, so I have sensitive skin and am prone to acne.
