My mom and sister are obsessed with Dr. Pimple Popper, so of course they were able to identify this skin ailment. Their completely un-professional diagnosis was milia, which is basically skin flakes (weird) or keratin (some sort of skin protein) that get trapped under the skin. After lots of Google searches, I decided to try out the least invasive remedy, which was a retinoid (or vitamin A) treatment, which brought me to the Ordinary.
The Ordinary is 100% cruelty-free with a large selection of vegan products
Retinol 0.5% in Squalane
I was extremely excited to find a retinoid product that was not only vegan and cruelty-free, but super affordable. I have to admit, I was a little skeptical after reading all the warnings and disclaimers about this product, but after using it for 3 weeks, I've had no irritations at all. I've actually noticed that my eyelids look a little thicker than usual, in a good way. Like my eyelid skin isn't as thin as it normally is... not sure if that's good or normal, but I'm not mad about it.
The milia spots on my eyelid are actually smaller, but they're definitely still there. I'm not giving up on this product yet, so if my milia makes any sort of progress, I'll be sure to update this post.
