| I don't know if I'm losing my mind but I swear that when I use these products I get Milia along my lash line. Anyone else out there have this problem, it makes me very sad cause I love the stuff but I sure don't want milia!! |

| Its like a little hard bump under the skin. It seems like when I've used these 2 products I get these little bumps along my lash lines and once you get them they are VERY hard to get rid of. From what I've read on google it seems a little hard sebaceous gland forms in the pore and something precipitates it although I'm not sure what. I'd heard it was oil. |

| Think I've might have one or two minor. They weren't very obvious and went away shortly. Just thought it was a little irritation or something. |

oh my...I think I have a "Milia!!"  I have a spot on the left side of my chin, where I can feel a hard (movable) bump way under the skin. I didn't know what it is....but it reminds me a little of a sebaceous cyst--only harder. Nothing is visible on the surface of my skin. Is it Milia??? How do you get rid of it? |

I can't remember how to get rid of them but some people have them on the outside of their arms between the elbow and the shoulder. Haven't you seen them on some people? I believe if you google milia it would give you some info, but I wouldn't be to worried about it if you can't hardly see it, especially if nothing is visible on the surface of your skin.
Stay calm and breathe  |

This condition you refer to on the upper arms is not milia. It is Keratosis Pilaris; if you do a search you will find more info about it on this site.
I've been plagued by milia most of my adult life. My skin is dry so I like more moisturizing creams - and they can cause milia. Also sometimes one can genetically be predisposed to them.
Yes, milia can sometimes be quite unnoticeable, but the longer one has them, the greater the chance that they will grow larger and be more obvious on the face. Best suggestion if one has milia and wants them gone is to go to a dermatologist (and search this site for threads on milia; some people have found solutions to them). |

| I tend to get milia around my eyes and haven't had a problem with revitalash and I've used it since January. Quite unexpectedly I found that the microfiber cloth I purchased from NCN skincare had eliminated two milia on my eyelid. Nice little bonus. |

Sorry about your distress with milia...I do tend to get them sometimes...but I have patchy oily skin. Check out the article below.
Would not allow me to post link (but can search for milia treatment on the net)
Summary:
Medical Care: No topical or systemic medications are effective on primary and secondary milia.
Surgical Care: Milia can be safely left alone, but if the patient requests treatment, then incision with a cutting-edge needle and manual expression of the contents are effective. This can be performed without local anesthetic. A paper clip has been successfully used to express the contents of the cyst.
OUCH! |

Ouch is right! That seems like it would cause a lot of trauma to the eye skin!  |
