What is Milia? Milia is when keratin (a substance produced by the skin) becomes entrapped beneath the outer layer of the skin, forming a tiny cyst. The cysts do not have an opening and are hard to remove. The cysts are white in color and look like whiteheads. Our new spot treatment makes it easy to apply directly to Milia. It contains ingredients that help dissolve and slough off dead skin and outer layers of skin so that the milia seed can be released. We highly recommend using a scrub of some kind while using this treatment. The scrub will loosen dead skin so that the ingredients in the spot treatment can sink into the skin quickly. This is a strong treatment and should be used just on Milia and areas where Milia is prone to forming. Note that it will take several applications to see a difference.
