@dermdoclaura: This is not acne. Let's talk about Milia cysts. These are small white bumps that typically appear on the face especially around the cheeks and eyes. Unlike acne these tiny cysts are formed from keratin which gets trapped beneath the surface. These are pretty harmless but the good news is there are effective treatments available! Products containing retinol can help by promoting cell turnover and preventing new cysts from forming. In more persistent cases a dermatologist can perform a quick in-office procedure to safely remove them. Don't confuse milia with acne. Understanding the difference is a step to clearer smoother skin. ✨ #acne #milia #skincare #dermatologist #skincareroutine #skin #skincaretips #derm
