Milia

[jelly77]

HI,

Just ordered some of that milia cream from organic online.

Was wondering if the cream was suppose to be so oily?

It felt like the ingredients didnt realli mix well either. Is the cream suppose to be smooth because mine had random chunks of grains in them..

thanks!

yeah...the cream is like that. it used to have a thicker consistency and they made it smoother. i don't know what the chunks are exactly, but they don't hurt...maybe they help? if i were you, i'd keep the plastic cover they give you to protect it from air. the cream can spoil if it isn't air-tight...seems to be my experience. just maybe take a toothpick and stir it if it doesn't seem mixed well and see what happens. i spilled some of the cream by accident on my arm (tipped the container) and it actually hurt my skin! so...the stuff is strong. let me know what you think once you start trying it. are your milia around your eyes? that is where mine are. keep in mind if you use concealer around the eyes, you are basically using the product to prevent. i find as i use it, i don't really need to use as much concealor - the whole eye area looks better, so i wear less makeup. let me know how it works for you, because i'm curious. hope you have good results toos!

hii..

thanks 4 the reply! i just started using it today just below my eye. hope it works well.. the first application realli burned! do you only use it in the evening? also, how long did it take you to clear your milia? does it work by burning off skin or something?

It takes a couple days for me to notice them really smooothed out. Perhaps a week or two for them to completely go away for me. It DOES burn! But I guess that is how it works!? I really am not sure how it works, but it works. It has to be some sort of exfoliation I would imagine with the salicylic acid?

 

[jelly77]

does anyone know if this cream has any other beneficial uses?

ie. can it be applied for any other problems? =)

I used to have some of those ever since I was a little girl, but I broke the skin with a needle, and they came right out, I just dabbed a bit of alcohol on them and done.

I just ordered this naturalis milia cream after reading all the posts about it. But I am interested whether the $40 product mentioned will work just as well. The naturalis stuff is expensive!!

Hi, I am new on this site and am very interested in what everyone is saying. I have bumps under eyes, but derm says there is nothing I can do. I went to a facialist who is an RN who said the same thing. But, no one gave it a name. My facialist said they were glands. I don' t know. Heard Yonka phyto contour cream works. Any one try this?

So, how bad was the milia before? Were there many? I have like twenty under one eye.

I had milia under my eye. Well, just the one. Had it for years. Anyway, one night I'd had enough, got a pair of tweezers and sharp scissors and did a little surgery. You can't tell it was ever there. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Repeated applications every so often helped bring it to the surface allowing me to remove it.)

Hi Everyone,

I have the little bumps too but I never really thought about it much. Can you tell me what TCA is? I have heard that ACV works on blackheads too but I didn't know that it worked on white bumps.

TCA stands for tricholoriac acid. It's a mix of salicylic, resorcinol and something else. I have to pull my books out! ::argh:: This is for professional use only! If used incorrectly it can cause hyperpigmentation, scaring, and other ugly skin iregularities. I recommend to use LOREAL ADULT ACNE KIT. It's the best thing next to a prof. peel by an esthetician. You can just use it on the trouble spots. You can also poke the milia with a lancet. First steam, then poke at an 90 angle and drain. Do not do this if you are prone to scabbing, and you must stop if you see blood. Again, I recommend going to a esthetican first. A dermatoligist might be a little more expensive. Hope this helps.

I thought i was a freak until i found this thread. I had these lumps around my eyes for years but to embarrassed to do anything about it. I even have 1 where the eyelash meets the eyelid. I think i will try the naturalis milia treatment. Its expensive

Its expensive PLEASE be careful - I think the bump where your eyelash meets your eyelid is a stye and not milia! I get those because I have blepharitis.
I have milia too, and the naturalis does work, but it is really strong. If anyone out there has sensitive eyes, you might want to be careful using it. I can't use the naturalis stuff because it makes my eyes water and burn. Does work though!

Is there any permanent solution to Milia? I've gotten almost all mine removed two times, but they're still coming back just as bad after about a week.

Great forum btw, looking forward to post here

I don't know, sorry.

Epidermx II microdermabrasion Epidermx II Microdermabrasion Pro-Treatment works really well for my milia. I got a couple under my eyes, also around the inner corner of the eyes. I gently massaged the cream on the milia and in a couple of uses, the mila all came out. Amazing! I got one milia right at the left eyelid and that's the only one that has remained because I don't want to massage the cream there - it's too close to the eye. I'm still trying to figure out how to get rid of that one.
