Large pores and face covered with white spots (milia) help!

Hi, I have large pores and part of my face are covered with those white spots which they named as milia. Esp. Near to the cheek and eyes.

I have combination skin type, tend to feel oily inner and surface tend to be dry.

Anyone could recommend a suitable product for me? Thanks!

    You may be allergic to salicylic acid so try glycocic acid. and see how that works.

    Did u try the clinique mild clarifying lotion? Its alcohol free and only contains .5% salicylic acid so.good for a start and daily use… If you got red maybe you can’t tolerate acid or not use to it.
    I’d recommend glycolic acid products… If your in price line look up nip and tuck peel pads and rodical. There the best ones in price line… Otherwise you need to look for stuff online. I purchase my pads online… Peter Thomas Roth are the bomb pads.
    Just my ideas on what worked for my mila and pores.. Ppl always comment on my skin now.

    I use to suffer terribly from mila and blocked pores. Now I don’t, my skin is clear and amazing.
    Tips I can give you that work for me…

    Avoid mineral oil, any products that contain this… Will clog and cause mila.

    Acid tone.. By this I mean use a toner that contains bha/gylocic acid and latic.
    Good one to start with is clinique gentle clarifying lotion. Use it in am.and pm. After cleansing. Once your use to this increase the dose. I use peter Thomas Roth complexion clear pads at night and ren clafiying toner.

    Do not use anything with silicone. This was my worst friend- makeup primers. Even now if I use it, whoa mila clogged pores..avoid avoid.
    Within a day its back. Silicone is in a lot of products including makeup so you should read ingredients.
    Wear sunscreen it will stop further pores and damage.
    And cleanser twice a day. Remove all makeup and use cream cleanser.
    Use a clay mask once a week, and do not pick them.. They are not pimples and will scar badly. Clinique poor refining mask is good
    If you can afford it have a peel or
    r dermbrasion at the saloon to fresh and start again.
