Condition: Milia
Milia are tiny whitish, pearly papules (bumps) or keratin-filled cysts that develop
as a result of dead skin cells that become trapped and do not exfoliate normally.
Milia usually appear across the forehead, nose upper cheeks, or chin. This type
of cystic structure can also develop in the gums and soft palate (roof of the mouth)
of newborn infants.
Primary milia typically occurs in infants as a result of underdeveloped sebaceous glands, but may also occur in children and adults. Secondary milia can occur throughout adulthood, as a result of blistering or trauma due to disruption of the sweat ducts. Skin trauma from dermabrasion or from the application of topical steroids can also cause secondary milia as the rate of exfoliation of skin cells can be accelerated as a result of these treatments.
The Wellness Solution
Our wellness approach to control and prevent the symptoms associated with milia combines 15% naturally-derived, freshly activated, preservative-free L-ascorbic acid (vitamin C) with 1% zinc. These food-grade ingredients provide a safe wellness remedy for infants affected by primary milia on the gums and roof of the mouth. The revolutionary air-less duo-chamber delivery system guarantees quick and easy activation to assure ingredient integrity, stability and freshness.
To control and prevent the symptoms of primary and secondary milia on the skin, our wellness approach includes a second step (following application of our freshly-activated vitamin C and zinc serum) of a non-irritating, non-acnegenic, non-comedogenic, non-drying wellness moisturizer formulated with an advanced ingredient technology that normalizes sebum distribution. The revolutionary air-less delivery system of this wellness moisturizer helps prevent exposure to bacteria and together, these gifts from nature provide the following benefits to visibly and significantly improve the appearance of skin affected by milia:
- Normalize the natural exfoliation rate of skin and sebum distribution to prevent trapped sebum
- Scavenge free radicals that cause inflammation and redness
- Enhance healthy cell renewal
- Sooth and calm skin
- Provide barrier repair to epidermis layers of skin that have been affected by radically exfoliating treatments that can cause secondary milia

My daughter, Raelyn is in the 4th grade and has dealt with prickly, irritated and sensitive skin since she was a baby. It didn’t really bother her until lately when kids in her class started making fun of her because of the ruff pimple like appearance all over her back, cheeks and arms. She didn’t want to wear shorts or even short sleeved shirts for the fear of more teasing. I stared using my EC Mode Original Vitamin C Serum on those areas and within the first 2 applications her cheeks did not appear ruff or to have pimples anymore. I also started using the EC Mode Vitamin C Inside and Out in her bath water and I notice a great difference in the skin on her back and arms. I would say over half the rash on her back and ¾ of the rash on her arms is now gone. You can bet we will continue to use this every time she bathes. She never liked to show her face because of the rash and would ‘hide’ behind her hair. Now she enjoys pulling her hair back and being a girl!
Also, my son, Nicolas, who is in the 3rd grade, even requests the EC Mode Vitamin C Inside and Out in his bath water as he has skin asthma and has issues with inflammation and abscesses both of which are very painful and bothersome to a very active young boy. We started using the EC Mode Vitamin C Original Serum on the areas on his feet that get just horrible and very painful. Within the first few applications all symptoms have disappeared and we now use it as a preventative measure and have no more painful outbreaks!
I will tell you it brings me great joy and relief to find a solution that delivers such great results without being harmful to my children. We have never found anything, over the counter or prescriptive that has helped as much as Malibu Wellness products have! Nicholas is so afraid that if he doesn’t use the Vitamin C Inside and Out in EVERY bath that he will get it back. Even my children enjoy ‘being in the mode’! Thank you Malibu Wellness!

To all the wonderful people at Malibu Wellness!
A little over a year ago, my face was covered in little spots of milia. It was so embarrassing to go out every day without ever seeing an end to the spots. I work at a high-end resort and often I am the first face our guests see. That made it much more embarrassing with my face in the condition it was in. One day I asked one of our estheticians in our spa if there was anything she would recommend. She immediately recommended your EC Mode skin care products. She suffered from the same skin condition and said that your products were the only remedy that worked for her. I started using the EC Mode Pure Blend Cleanser, Zinc C Thera-Serum and Oil-Less Moisturizer. Within a month I saw a drastic improvement! Within three months my skin was in the best condition it has ever been in! It has remained consistently clear and beautiful since then. Needless to say, I am forever a loyal customer of EC Mode skin care products. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
