Milia are very small superficial cysts that form just underneath the skin, most commonly around the eyes.

However covering Milia with heavy makeup will stop your skin from shedding cells and may clog pores further, trapping keratin underneath your skin.Its molecules are larger than other chemical exfoliants like AHA and BHA, so it still sloughs away dead skin but with a lower risk of irritation. The Lamprobe probe device emits radio-frequency energy that is applied to a milia bump for a few seconds, as the heated probe touches the spot it causes an exfoliation. The formula also contains glycerin and ceramides to keep the skin supple and hydrated both on your face and body.

Other strategies that may be used for milia treatment include chemical peels, laser ablation, cryotherapy (freezing) and diathermy (heat therapy). If you’d like to save steps in your routine, this budget-friendly moisturizer from CeraVe can address your milia while also keeping your skin hydrated.But we suggest trying our mild picks from Neostrata for your eyes or CeraVe SA Lotion for your face. If you do have Milia particularly around the eye area, it could be something to do with the skincare products you are using. They have a different appearance to a pimple or spot as they don’t have a head and cannot be squeezed.
