Milia Removal at Home:
What Really Works
Published on: Apr 29, 2025

You’ve seen them. Those tiny white or yellowish bumps that sit under your skin. They don’t pop like pimples. They don’t respond to acne creams. They just sit there, making your skin look bumpy and uneven.
They’re called milia. And if you’ve tried everything to smooth them away, you know how frustrating they can be.
I know, because I get them myself.
I’m Dimitri James, professional esthetician and founder of SKINN Cosmetics. For more than 30 years, I’ve been treating real people with real skin concerns. And if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that milia are one of the most common — and most misunderstood — problems.
What Are Milia?
Milia are small cysts filled with keratin - a type of protein found in skin tissue, hair and nail cells. White bumps appear under the skin and are commonly found in small clusters. This is caused by trapped keratin. Instead of turning red and swollen like pimples, these defects gradually accumulate beneath the skin’s surface and stay white in color
What They Aren't
They’re not acne.
They’re not caused by bacteria.
They cannot be popped or squeezed.
What You Shouldn't Do
Trying to pop them. You’ll only damage your skin.
Using acne treatments. They don’t break down keratin.
Scrubbing harder. Harsh scrubs cause irritation, not results.
That’s why acne kits, drying creams, and picking at them don’t work. If you’ve tried any of these, you know the cycle: frustration, wasted money, no results.
The Solution: DermAppeal® Microdermabrasion Treatment
DermAppeal isn’t just another scrub. It’s my #1 selling treatment worldwide — in fact, one DermAppeal is sold every 60 seconds around the globe.
Here’s why:
It uses professional-grade crystals to buff away keratin buildup.
It grips onto damp skin, helping dislodge hardened debris from the pore wall.
I call it disincrustation — the professional method for clearing stubborn buildup.

One client of mine, Gina, came to me with dozens of milia under her eyes. She had spent years on acne kits, creams, even professional extractions. Nothing worked.
I introduced her to DermAppeal, and within weeks her skin looked smoother, brighter, more even. For the first time in years, she told me, she could wear makeup without it sitting unevenly on her skin.
That’s why DermAppeal is my #1 recommendation for preventing and correcting milia.
How To Use DermAppeal®
1.
Start with clean, damp skin.
2.
Apply a thin layer of DermAppeal
3.
Let it grip for about 30 seconds.
4.
Gently buff in circular motions.
5.
Rinse to reveal fresh, renewed skin.
Pro Tip: Use 2–3 times per week. With the Pore Polishing Wand, you’ll get a spa-like experience at home that helps prevent future milia from forming.
I know how discouraging milia can be. I’ve struggled with them myself. But you don’t have to live with them.
That’s why I created DermAppeal . It’s trusted by professionals, loved by customers worldwide, and now available to you in this exclusive 4oz size with a Pore Polishing Wand.
Start today — and after just one use, you’ll see why DermAppeal is sold every 60 seconds around the globe.
