Those are just millia. Little seeds under your skin, i think they are composed of protein. You can get it extracted by a dermatologist. You might want to stop using a rich eye cream if you do now as that is a cause of these.
Do an internet search, you'll find loads of info.
Good luck! |

| Get these checked out by a dematologist so that they can confirm if it is milla or perhaps Syringoma which is what I get and are actually really common. I got rid of these using diathermy which can be done by a dermatologist or a specially trained beauty therapist. This treatment can also be used for milla which I also get. |

I've also had the problem with milia under my eyes when applying rich eye creams ( Sisley and Valmont).
But after I tried my ReVive Eye Renewal Cream, most of the milia were gone within a few months. So you probably want to switch to a eye cream/gel with a lighter texture.
Another tip that may help to get rid of the milia:
- Place a hot cloth over the skin for a few minutes which will help to loosen and remove dead skin cells on your face.
- Use an exfoliating facial scrub to remove the top layer of skin, which can enable the cysts to fall out. Those containing salicylic acid work well, but always read the label or ask the pharmacist to make sure the one you select is suitable for you. |
