TOP 5 products for MILIA REMOVAL| Dr Dray

[@DrDrayzday]

Hey guys! I meant to clarify that these products should not be used on the eyelids. The ingredients can be very irritating to your eyelids. They are meant for milia on the cheeks, chin, and nose. For milia on the eyelids, see your derm for removal.

[@Roll587]

Thanks!

Thank you so much Dr. Dray my best friend had been suffering from millia since we were 15 years old. We are in our 40's now. Will share this video to her to the other side of the world I live in the west side of the globe and she is in the east asia and the help is from U.S.A ( Dr.Dray) I love technology.

After realising I was using too heavy products, I changed my heavy moisturiser to the Cerave Daily Moisturising Lotion, and started using retinol and chemist exfoliation. After 6+ months of no change in the millia, I decided to get them removed. It does sting a little and will heal like a regular scratch. After about two days of healing, they're completely gone! It's scary since its close to the eye, but do see a professional and it'll pay off!

Which product would you suggest would be best for milia, hyperpigmentation and radiation damage scaly skin? If I need to buy two, I can do that if they aren't too expensive (widowed and in reduced circumstances, yadda yadda).

[@lorainemcgillivray77]

Hi Dr Dray, although I'm not prone to milia I want to reassure people with sensitive skin that they can use retinoids. I have both rosacea and eczema prone skin which can be hypersensitive, but I worked my way up slowly and carefully to my current regime of tretinoin 0.05% on alternate nights to my azelaic acid. This is keeping my rosacea controlled although occasionally if I have a product reaction (despite patch testing), I have to skip both for a few days. It took a long time and careful preparation to get to this stage, but the results have been so worth it. It's worth a try, but be very cautious initially. Best wishes.

[@IdlanRafiqi]

How do you keep rosacea and eczema at bay? Using Retinoid?

[@ruthie_rosario]

@@IdlanRafiqi I had the same issue and couldn’t tolerate tretinoin every time I tried it in the past. I did some research and discovered that niacinamide can help reduce irritation. I would use 10% niacinamide serum in the morning and night for a month before I started using tretinoin again, and it actually worked! My peeling is now minimal after the purging stage. The niacinamide serum made all the difference. So now, I just use the 10% niacinamide serum in the morning along with spf 50, and 0.1% tretinoin at night.

How though do you use these products when milia are on eyelids or around eye?

[@peggyharris3815]

Yes...I did remove mine with a needle. I don't want to do it again.

[@rebekahw540]

I removed mine by scraping off the skin with tweezers and then was able to squeeze out the milia. Left a small hole and bled a bit but healed nicely. So happy it’s gone! The small amount of pain was so worth it! I had a fairly large one on the inner corner of my bottom lash line near my tear duct.

My daughter has Milia extremely bad. She has been going to dermatologists on and off with absolutely NO SUCCESS. They have done extractions but they always keep coming. Thanks for the info and here is hoping for finally a clean face.

[@Pamela-B]

I use Amlactin lotion to help exfoliate the milia away from my eye area including the lid (even though it’s not recommended 🤷‍♀️). I take a cotton swab and dab the teeny tiniest bit of lotion directly on the milia and nowhere else. Do not spread it around. I do this 3-4 times/week until it’s gone. I also use a washcloth in the shower to gently exfoliate the eye area to help the process. Some go away in a week or two. Some take longer.

I’ve had a couple milias on my eyelids over the years and they just go away if I pick at it. No scars left or anything

[@mrssnips1]

I've been using the Paulas Choice BHA for about 3 weeks and just realized that a milia that I had under my eye has disappeared. I'm guessing the BHA helped.

[@mayc9483]

Did you use the Paula's choice bha on your under eye area? Asking because my that's the location of my concern.

[@mrssnips1]

Yes, I used under my eyes

[@shehroznaeem5216]

@@mrssnips1 where u buy this product

[@magdelenatrevera4621]

How many times a week did you use it? Pls answer

[@samvee5901]

I'm so impressed with what you know and appreciate that you suggest over the counter and affordable products.

[@jessicablum4096]

I've been on Tretinoin for 4 months but no change in forehead milia

[@lbridge2010]

What about on the lips! I’ve had it all over my lips for years and no, it’s definitely not herpes.

[@Noor-hd5nf]

I have it on inside of my upper lip (not visible unless I grab my lip and turn it inside out). I remember being a teen and having anxiety thinking it was herpes LOL.

[@neurocat8837]

Excellent video, Dr. Dray. Would you please consider doing one on winter/cold weather skin care? 😊

[@jt8142]

She has. Type “dr dray winter skin care” in the KZbin search bar to find a number of videos on this topic.

[@neurocat8837]

J T thanks!!! 😊

[@samsonbenson12]

Hi Dr. Dray. I don't know if this is a question that you want to answer, but I have been thinking about this for a while. So, I love watching you and your life seems very appealing to me- I like that you have your hobbies, have a steady work schedule, and have a nice community to talk to. I would like to live a life like that, and I think I will. I don't have too much of an interest in getting into a relationship, getting married, or having kids. However, part of that is because I'm not so good at talking to others and I've never been in an intimate relationship before in all my 23 years. I don't know if you chose that lifestyle or if you are like me who doesn't really know where to start when it comes to intimate relationships. If you don't care to answer, I wonder if anyone else in your community lives a lifestyle like yours. Don't get me wrong- I LOVE my life, and if it stayed like this then that's a win for me honestly, but I wonder what it would feel like to experience being in a relationship and I wonder if you have any knowledge on that. If you don't care to answer, I understand as well. I wonder if other people in your community will have a response for me if they live a solitary life. I probably should look for a video more related to this issue though come to think of it. I hope you are doing well.

[@ladycrowley1413]

I have just decided to use Differin and a BHA cream everyday ( not on the same day ) on my milia that's on my upper eyelids , but only on the milia itself using a q-tip since she adviced to not use those on the eyelids. I hope it works.

[@nicolapattison7913]

So had a milia top of my nose between my eyebrows that has been seriously bugging me for about 3 months now, started dabbling my 5% glycolic toner to it, and no lie today it's gone! Only did it for 4 days and wow, cant believe it.

[@greeneyes4007]

What kind did you use? Thanks

[@MsNALA111]

I have milia under my eyes, are those products safe for under the eyes? Thanks for the recommendation!

[@cathygiuliana9089]

Wow Dr. Dray so thrilled for you the way your channel is growing! You’ve helped me so much with caring for my skin and myself! I’m so grateful to you! The numbers don’t lie Dr. Dray, you are amazing! Simple as that!

[@BLT8RBUG]

I am so happy to find this video! I am a 59-year-old who started having milia pop up over the past couple of years, mainly on the cheeks. I didn't have a lot of help from my dermatologist. I cannot have a 7-day downtime in my job with a deep peel. My question is this. For my dry skin, do I use these products in conjunction with my daily creams and serums? I use Cera Ve to cleanse, RoC serum and cream and an eye cream daily. I am just so ready to see something get rid of the milia! Thank you!

[@abbyhenderson9574]

I only have one spot of milia above my eyelid...hopefully I can get rid of it.

[@joanventura862]

Hi Dr. Dray, since you mentioned retinol, can you review Olay's Retinol 24 please? Thank you!

[@notyourmothersmom1376]

I’ve always removed mine exactly the way you describe a derm would do it. No scarring, no infection. I wouldn’t necessarily recommend it if you don’t know what you’re doing but I’ve been doing it for over 30 years.

[@user-gh3rv1of2b]

Not Your Mother's Mom I have milia too for over a decade around my eye, one under the brow bone, one near the nose, and one on the eyelid. My dermatologist gave me a lancet and said I could do it at home myself. But I'm afraid to try it. The one on the eyelid, I could never push in. I was hoping if I nicked it, it would drain over time. Have you taken them off on the eye, any advice?

[@paulachristie7807]

I have sensitive skin and was able to acclimate my skin to Tretinoin 0.05 by going very slowly, one night a week for a month, then two nights a week for a month etc. until I got up to every night. Your recommendation to moisturize first was very helpful.

[@marylawman8603]

Happy Wednesday, Dr Dray! I have these under my eyes. Are the products safe to use there? Thanks for addressing this issue. So frustrating to have these. I hope you have a beautiful evening. 💖

[@marizzy63]

Happy Wednesday dr Dray and everyone this was so helpful. I have this and never really knew how to treat it . Have a wonderful day love to mom and Tybee 😍😍

[@craigathonian]

I absolutely love this doctor ❣ So thorough, and covers all the bases for the variety of ailments that can afflict someone. All given with concise and at the same time down to earth description that a layman can understand. Dr. Dray you are truly worth your weight 10 x in gold !
