If You Have Tiny White Bumps on Your Face, Don’t Try to Remove Them! Here’s What They Really Are — and How to Treat Them Safely

Safe Ways to Get Rid of Milia

You can treat them, but gently and over time:

1. Exfoliate Regularly

Use a mild exfoliant (like lactic acid or salicylic acid) 2–3 times a week to help prevent dead skin buildup.

2. Use Retinol

Retinol speeds up cell turnover and helps milia fade naturally. Start slowly if you have sensitive skin.
