I realised I filmed and loaded this video 12 months ago but never released it... I know this is an old video (gosh I look so so different lol) but the advice is still totally correct so I wanted to share it with you as an extra upload... Please let me know what your milia experience has been.. Sending you so so much love xxxxx
This advice is valuable! I just got a large milia pearl under my eye and out towards the temple. I intuitively tried this tip but using Salicylic Acid Paula's choice 2% liquid, the 9% SA spot treatment and then used the overnight exfoliation serum on it too. I used the Salicylic Acid products separately on different days on a qtip as Rob suggests twice a day and then used the serum on top 3 times a week. I wasn't expecting it to work truthfully and thought I would end up going to a dermatologist to have it removed and much to my surprise, it was actually completely gone within less than 2 weeks! I'm shocked but this can actually work! I have the tiniest little patches of micro milia under my eyes but it's only noticeable in a 10x zoom mirror but I'm going to try the retinol eye cream on it and experiment with mild exfoliation on it. I wouldn't use a strong acid really close to my eye, on the eyelid or for a large area close to the eye but it definitely works to get the random milia spot with a qtip that's not dangerously close to the eye!! Great video Rob! 💕
I have a milia on my eyelid & I tried everything you rec - glycolic & retinol (tiny amount applied carefully nightly with a q-tip) and nothing has worked. I’ve had this for over 6 months, so this thing is with me for life unless I go to a derm! Chris Gibson has a vid where he extracts them himself & there are comments there discussing casually lancing them. I would NEVER do that - EEK!
Try warm water wash cloth and gently clean the area 2x per day. Remove sugar from your diet, make sure you take a good third party test multi vitamin esp Vit A, try glutathione or NAC supplementation to help your body detox, infrared light as well. Remember be patient it takes time.
I put differin on my under eye area by accident and my eye freaked out, got swollen and had a lot of peeling going on. Once it died down, my 1 milia spot was gone🤦🏻♀️ at least smth good came out of it 😄
omg SAME i had a allergic reaction to makeup and my eye got so swollen and irritated. my under eye is good now but i don’t have the milia that i used to have, instead i have it in my other eye lmao
I'm glad you got rid of you milia but as an Esthetician I have to say be so so careful putting anything like that or any exfoliating acids under the eye. Our skin is so thin already around the eye area and doing this too often will thin the skin more. This will make you more susceptible to sun spots in the future as well as compromising your skin barrier. Please see your local esthetician for future advice!
Hi! Love your videos rob! So I’ve tried all of this stuff the past 16 months and nothing worked. My derm gave me a lower strength tretinoin and said to use it only on the area where milia are under the eye. It actually can be used up until the lash line, but most people can’t do it without irritation. However my derm has instructed me on a safe, slow way to incorporate the tretinoin under my eyes and I’m having very little irritation. So basically if you’ve tried everything that Rob said - exfoliators and over-the-counter retinol eye creams, prescription strength retinoid’s such as tretinoin are an option but only if you consult with your dermatologist before and during your entire course of treatment to stay safe. Sending love!
I inherited my milia from my father. Because of this, I actually have different products for my face and forehead. I must avoid using pure oil serum's or any kind of an "ointment" consistency on the forehead. Elf's salicylic acid spot treatment works really well on these! (I'm getting SO excited about tomorrow🥳🥳🥳🎊🎊🎊🎊🎉🎉)
@@liltoto371 Since I wrote this comment I have been to see a dermatologist for this condition. She started me on a very low dose of Tretinoin, and that has done the better job than anything else I have tried. On the K-beauty websites like Stylevana and YesStyle, you can try the Scinic Cicanoid Retinal cream 30 ml. That is what I was using before and it was working too, just not as well as the prescription strength cream. The Elf product I use (especially on individual spots that pop up) is the Elf Acne Fighting Spot Gel. It comes in a roller and is $4 here in the US. My husband and I both have our own and keep them handy when needed! I hope this infor helps. Don't hesitate to ask anymore questions! (Another product that works well on texture is the Paula's Choice 2% Salicylic acid liquid exfoliant!)
Mixed Makeup ( Susan Yara ) who is here on UA-cam has her own brand and she recommended an exfoliating eye cream for those of us in the US if that helps anyone. Great video!I’ve had 2 in the same spot for months one on each side of the face, it’s the area right under my dark circles at the top of the cheek. I’m pretty sure it’s from a really thick eye cream that when put on at night moved down a little bit further than I placed it. My problem is my skin is a bit sensitive and I live with several chronic illnesses that are painful so I skip my skincare routine. I’m really getting annoyed with the milia and since it’s finally starting to warm up ,my painful flare ups aren’t as horrible so I can hopefully get back into my routine. I know what toner’s, serums & moisturizers I can use , my issue is finding a great cleanser that doesn’t cause irritation ,breakouts on my chin or make my skin feel dry and tight when I’m done washing my face, and I haven’t found a great under eye cream that doesn’t cause Milia!? I haven’t used the ordinary brand ,but have definitely wanted to try,and it’s not expensive so if something doesn’t work for me I’m not breaking the bank. Any recommendations on some cleansers? Thanks 😊
I’ve had them since primary school (am 29 now). Under my eyes and on my eyelids. Makes me super insecure even though it’s not something you see from miles away. Have to admit that I’ve picked them with a needle before 🤡. Also have had them removed professionally but came back super fast. Started treating them with glycolic acid last week every other day and already have had some results.
I have milia on my chin and I’ve been using the ordinary glycolic acid 7% every night for 2 months now and milia is still there... i was on retinoin 0.025 too for 5 months before this my milia on my chin won’t go away...
I got it right one my eyelid just the one I had it for a while now any recommendations thank you and I'm on a budget and I only get products in the shop many thanks indeed tash
I almost never get pimples anymore. But I have blackheads and sebaceous filaments that I fight with salicylic acid.. and I have a few of these milia. Right now I got two (that I am aware of). I tried to fight them with drying lotion from Mario Badescu. Sometimes it works (but it’s not done over just one night). I’m lucky to have The Ordinary’s Glycolic acid at home right now! Thank you so much 🙏 Take care! ✨🦋✨🌸✨💗✨
Its a pleasure hun, this is a year old (gosh dont I look different lol) but I realised I never released it which is a shame as the advice still stands so I thought why not activate the video... Sending you so so much love xxxxx
I got The Inkey List retinol eye cream specifically for treating milia, but stopped using it because the oily texture on my oily skin felt like it was going to cause more milia. And the retinol is so weak that I didn't think it was worth it. Now I'm trying Geek & Gorgeous A-Game 5 as a milia spot treatment (combined with Calm Down PHA&BHA on alternate nights), so I'll see if that does anything...
OMG! I was hoping you’d do a video on this! Milia runs in my family and we all get it worse around our lips! (Tho I have a few around my lower lashes). I guess I have to cut out the argan oil around my eyes and lips to help with wrinkles. Sigh. Every winter I do major peels to work out the deep ones around my lips. I do use the ordinary’s glycolic acid around my lips and neck ( well, actually on my body too!). I will try one of the retin a eye creams you’ve linked (and the ordinary !). Thanks again!
I had milia on my eyelids and under eye area. I went to an ophthalmologist who also does aesthetic procedures and had plexr done. So along with the sagging skin on the eye area I got rid of milia as well
Oooh I already have that FT eye cream!! It was a freebie and I have barely used it! I need to I think though as I have some milia under my eye and on my chin! I’m not allowed to use retinol at the moment 🤰which sucks! However December onwards I should be good to go - It’s at the top of my Xmas list!! X
I've eczema an was in hospital for a few weeks an they jus popped up on both of my cheeks..,so I can't use any acid products...any other ways u could suggest..
I’m a Retin-A rebel. I don’t wait more than a few minutes after cleansing I put it under my eyes, where crows feet form and on my top lid above the crease lol
I had 1 for months inbetween my eyebrows, I used superdrug 5%glycolic acid toner with a cotton bud, was gone in 3 days! Dont know about using it around the eyes though.
I have a few red marks on my jaw line from digging out milea. Definitely don’t dig them out! I do some of flat looking milea under my eyes, not really sure what they are but I hate them
I always seem to get one or two where the nose piece of my glasses fall on my nose. I have one now between there and my eyes. I just put some S.A. on a q-tip and dab it on.
Use glycolic acid toner on your face and on the areas you have milia. It's an exfoliator acid. It takes a little bit to see results but use it in your skin care
Use creams(sensitive skin) or tonics(can cause redness) or light weight creams (this is personal, but of u have sensitive and prone milium skin u should use light weight creams) with exfoliating acid to be more precise glycolic acid, when using tonic rub it slightly in the surface of the milium with a cotton swab.

Thank you for this! I have one under my eye that has been bugging me.
I've seen this happen to a few people I know with HA fillers. This tip really can work! Good luck!
