What ingredient in eye care products cause Milia?

What is a good eye cream that will take care of firming, wrinkles, and dark circles? I am using Arbonne and since beginning with this eye cream I now have milia.

Hi,
Milia are trapped dread skin cells under the skin that look like a white pump and vary in size of about a pinhead.

There are many different speculative reasons on what causes Milia. None of them are scientifically proven. Causes vary from diet factors to ingredients in skin care products.

It has been established that Milia often occur if a cream is too heavy for the skin. That's why Milia is often found around the eyes, as the skin around the eyes is very delicate.

Unfortunately I could not find an ingredient list of the Arbonne eye cream. Ingredients that could aggravate Milia could be resins and waxes that are found in skin creams as well as mineral oils. It is best to look out for products that have been tested non-commedogenic (won't clog pores).

Milia have no pore as opening and can only be removed by piercing the skin once the milia has established and is ready to be removed. Removal should only be done by a professional as care must be taken to do as little damage to the skin as possible and to cause no infections.

As for a good anti aging eye cream it always the matter of finding the right one that is best suitable for your skin type.
