an eye cream that contained retinol<\/a> (Incidentally, it’s a very good one!)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhat I noticed after about 2 weeks was that the milia on my lid seemed flatter. I was quite intrigued, because I had been struggling to get rid of it for months! Here it was, appearing to go away of its own accord. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I realized then, that the only thing I’d included in my routine was this eye cream that had retinol. Because I was a little more experimental, I applied a little of my retinol serum on my face, directly on the milia spot<\/strong>. The retinol I was using for my face was stronger than that used in the eye cream.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIn about a week, one day, I ran my finger over my eye lid, and felt a little hard ball come away from my skin. It was the milia oil seed! And it’s never come back since! \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I later developed another milia spot under my eye, near my nose. I had stopped using retinol at this time, and I had forgotten about my earlier experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Recently, I restarted a new retinol serum, which turned out to be quite a strong one. After applying it all over my face, I’d run the residue gently over the under-eye area. In about 2 weeks, the milia popped out of its own accord!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am now convinced that regular use of retinol can help reduce or even remove milia from the skin, and even around the eye area. However, due to the strength of retinol, and how it can irritate sensitive skin, I must urge you to exercise caution when using it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dilute the retinol serum when used around the eye<\/h3>\n\n\n\n If using it around your eye where you have milia, I’d recommend mixing the retinol serum with some eye cream, before applying. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The skin around the eye is very thin, and retinol can be quite strong so it can cause irritation. If you aren’t confident, use a cotton bud and dot the mixture directly on the milia spot so you don’t irritate the rest of the skin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If the milia is too close to your eye, practice caution and don’t use this technique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Use the residue of your retinol serum<\/h3>\n\n\n\n If you don’t want it too strong, use the residue of your retinol serum that’s on your fingers after you apply it to your face. I sometimes run it lightly over the eye area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Do thing only if you’re confident and comfortable using retinol serums. If you are new or if you have very sensitive skin, please proceed with caution! \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Results will take a while – be patient<\/h3>\n\n\n\n Results can take a while to show. It takes me about 2 weeks or so before the milia seed pops out. But I do notice the bump flattening and reducing in size before that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This isn’t a quick technique, but it is one you can do at home, without poking holes in your face \ud83d\ude1b I hesitate to say it is safe (it is, really!) because not everyone can handle regular doses of retinol use, but it is quite foolproof and fairly gentle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you have a problem with milia? <\/h4>\n\n\n\n Do you have tips on how to easily remove it? As I said, I don’t usually have a problem, so this is my only tip, but I know milia is a real problem for many people, so it’ll be helpful to know of other ways to get rid of milia \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m not usually prone to getting milia, or oil seeds, so I never really had to figure out how to deal with it before. However, in the past year, I’ve experienced it twice, and gotten rid of them twice, with very good results. So, I decided to share how I did it. But with a<\/p>\n
