chicken skin under eyes

[Anonymous]

I’ve got milia around my eyes, but in particular in the undereye area closest to the inner corner it’s chicken skin.

Is this something I can work on via OTC products, or with treatment by a dermatologist, or is this just bad genes and I’m stuck.

I do use undereye cream at night with retinol, it has never made a difference.

Thanks for any help.

Are you still using the eye cream? Maybe your sjin is reacting to it?

I’ve had this under eye chicken skin at least the past 10ish years, so not related to the eye cream (altho the cream may make it or the milia worse?).

I've found that certain eye creams make mine much worse. Prescription retinoid tazarotene + Kiehls avocado eye cream dabbed on top have tamed it. You just can't, of course, get the retinoid actually in your eyes.

But ask your Derm. Mine gave me this regimen.

what is chicken skin:
Is it bumpy? little hairs sprouting up? saggy baggy?

Mine go away when I don't moisturize that area, lol.
