I have a little of this under my eyes and two on my forehead. I thought you only got it under your eyes from eye creams you use.

I was looking online at some retinol cream that was reviewed that it works to get rid of milia and I think I might order some.

Has anyone had good results with a retinol or other product for this issue?

I read that you need to use non- comedogenic eye cream.

This issue got worse over the past few months of using a new eye cream I got, which is Skinn Hydra Vital!!!

@FlowerBear, the same thing happened to me from Skinn Hydra Vital, but I thought It was breakouts from the cream...I never had any good results from Skinn products...I threw everything out. Mine cleared up after I stopped using it. I use a glycolic cleanser every night.

I did get a bad milia bump under my eye from a sample of Algenist eye balm...that took a long time to get out, and left a mark for quite a while. I stick with Shiseido Benefiance eye cream, the best ever!!

They are mini-cysts.

You can traumatize the skin & the content will come out,

but the ‘sack’ is not removed & more than likely, return.

Only way it can be removed permanently is via dermatologist.

I have this "issue" off and on.
What helps me is the Clarisonic. I have sensitive skin with "issues" so I have a trio of brush heads for my Clarisonic. (Radiance, Sensitive and Pore) If I get a "break out" then I give myself a facial scrub,rinse and then saop with the Sensitive btush. I believe mine is caused by not applying my creams properly or too much in one area. I will also get it almost instantly (so it seems) when I switch products. (I don't do that anymore).

The facial scrubs that I use are Philosophy/ and/ Dr Denese.
