Best eye cream for milia-prone skin and lines

6 replies

Posting here for traffic.

I don’t even know where to start. My skincare knowledge extends to the importance of cleansing and moisturiser and not squeezing spots and salicylic & glycolic acids and roughly what retinol is all about.

I’ve got fine lines that I’d like to keep more in check but skin that’s very prone to deep milia. What the bloody hell should I be looking for, please?! Surely if I go to a concession or store then they’ll just try to flog me their brand, yes? Help... Blush

I went mineral oil free and it completely solved the milia problems I had.

Thanks for the pointer. Embarrassingly I need to ask you to imagine you’re talking to a very small child about this, though. What do you use and where from?

I used to get milia. Still do very occasionally. I put a very fine sterile needle under the skin and take the white head out. Clears it right up and don't see them for months. My dad is a GP and he was the one who initially did this for me. I just do it myself now!

I’ve done this a few times but tbh there are too many and too deep these days. I’m using glycolic acid and seeing if that has any effect on the milia right now, but what I need going forward is an eye cream or serum mainly for lines that’s effective but not heavy enough to cause more milia...

I use this op as I'm worried about milia too. This is good for lines and has retinol.

That’s just the kind of thing I’m after! Thanks Smile
