Concealer that won't cause milia

[ELT11]

I have struggled with milia for years. I'm still on the quest for undereye treatment for fine lines, dryness, and terrible dark circles (I look like I got punched in the eye some mornings). The products are hit or miss and the concealer still nothing. I've tried Nars, Benefit Boing, Naked Skin, Sephora gel, Make-up forever, Tarte shape tape. I am losing hope. Any undereye cream and concealer suggestions that won't bring on milia? I tend to go simple with makeup. BB cream, bronzer,mascara, eyebrows,and lips. Thanks everyone!!

Hi there! I've been a longtime milia sufferer and found your post searching for a new concealer. I recently discovered something that has totally changed the way I use and buy skincare & makeup products related to milia so I wanted to share: Avoid dimethicones & silicones. They are both commonly used in skincare & makeup as a 'smoothing' agent, but they are terrible for milia as they create a film over the top of the skin trapping the keratin deposits and causing more to form. I see you mentioned using BB cream – check to see if that product or any others you use has any 'cones' in the ingredients. I used to love the Supergoop CC cream and recently discovered it has dimethicone in it which would explain why I've had tons of tiny milia in the areas I was using that product the most. In terms of concealer, I tested out and just purchased the Kosas Revealer Super Creamy + Brightening Concealer with Caffeine and Hyaluronic Acid Tone 03 W. It has very clean ingredients and no fillers. It's AMAZING for under the eyes as it truly brightens! Anyway, just wanted to share. Best of luck to you!

I have had milia on my lash line for years. Probably due to oily eye make up removers. But this concealer seems to have oils so i am unsure. Curious to know how long you’ve used this concelear.

Maybe try the BAREMINERALS - BARESKIN® Complete Coverage Serum Concealer. I get milia under my eyes sometimes too, but never with this. It's so lightweight but it covers fairly well, and I don't get fine lines when I use this. And, since my undereyes are always really dry, I love how this concealer stays glowy and hydrated!
