Hi girls! I just bought a Clarisonic smart profile and I would like some feedback from people who actually use it.
Should I expect it to really clear my millia? I have not other skin problems, only some colorless little bumps. And in this case how long did it take to clear yours and was the result permanent?
I bought it very convinced but one of my friend insists it only helped her at the beggining and then nothing. But my friend does have severe acne. So maybe this is the difference.

I've been using a clarisonic for about two years, and it does nothing for the milia I have. I get them along my cheek bones, under my eyes, and and am now starting to notice them appearing farther down my cheeks, close to my nose. I try to just leave them alone but the only way I can get the white bump out is to pretty much squeeze until the skin breaks, then try to pick out the white ball, and it always ends up bleeding and I put a dab of neosporin on it. I know that's really gross and unhealthy for my skin but sometimes I can't help it. In NO way am I recommending you do this, just telling you my experience. I did a quick google search and read that many derms use a sterilized needle to pop them out, lance them with a scalpel, or recommend a retinol A cream.

Ole Henrikson used to make a Vitamin C Peel called "Truth is in the eyes". It got rid of nearly all my milia...despite I brought it to brighten them. An unexpected side effect. I am on my last tube. I know it used AHA's to exfoliate. The Olay Pro X nightly peel seems incredibly similar, but I'd check to see if it is safe for the eyes. I personally am going to try it because I'm not going any closer beneath my eye than either my derm or Estie have with peel product. As a precaution, if you are concerned, you can use a natural oil to be sure no product gets too close to the eye.

Always test patch and avoid mucus membranes. I can only speak from personal experience, but many ladies in reviews reported a significant reduction in milia with the eye peel.
