i bought the olay stuff and used it last night. all the bumps on my forehead are gone!!! i only have a few bumps left on my chin! which i bet will go after using it for a few weeks! i cannot believe it! one use and my face is pretty much sorted!
thanks so much for reccomending this! you've no idea how much confidence this has given me back! the bumps were the bane of my freaking life! always showing up in photos making me look funny!

YAY!!!!! lol Im so glad it worked for you too ! It took me about 2 or 3 uses for them to be completely gone on both my forehead and chin. And doesnt it leave your skin so soft ?? yeah I love that stuff. I just have to make sure I use SPF on my face while outdoors, the box says it might make you burn easier.

I bought it a few days ago thanks to the recommendation. The first night, it worked so well...my skin was super smooth the next day. Maybe I shouldn't have used it two nights in a row though, because my skin didn't love it in day 2 and I actually woke up with a few new blemishes (not saying it's because of this stuff though, just saying it didn't prevent...). I am still going to use it though, and will not use it on two consecutive nights.
It feels like a really good exfoliator
Sidenote: I showed my dermatologist a couple of those "white spots" and he said the only way to get rid of them for good (you can't wash or scrub them away) is to "zap" them as he called it. (He has a special machine/just basically burns them off...you get a little redness and it becomes like little scabs, for a week at the most...And then they are gone. I wanted to test it out first so I had him do just a couple).

Hi there. I think you should go talk to a dermatologist if/when you can. You are a beautiful girl and shouldn't have to suffer with those bumps. The ones I have/had are slightly larger but they aren't as spread over a large area.

That Olay stuff was on half price in Superdrug last week and I bought my mum two boxes. I shall have to try and steal them back from her without her noticing as I'm getting quite a few of these spots on my forehead. Funny how I never had them when all I did was moisturise, now I cleanse, tone etc..I'm getting them.

I have 2 of these on my temples. They're not milia, pimples, etc. I couldn't figure out what in the world they were so I asked my derm who said they're clogged sweat glands and that there's basically nothing you can do about them. Bummer.

been using this for a few months now twice a week and my skin looks and feels great. saves me spending £80 a month on a elemis facial!

Yeah, Boots is really crap for that. My mum ordered the Olay eye pod thingies from this guy on ebay and the product is thoroughly legit, he was really good. She got it for £20. I'm going to order more of the derma thing once he has some in stock.
I wish I had seen this thread earlier as I would have bought myself some more.

are these bumps underneath your skin? like a pimple/whitehead bump? or is it a bump like they are bubbles/blisters above the skin?
if they are bubbles/blisters above the skin, it could be something that i had. they are flesh color and does not affect the complexion/tone of your skin. but from up close, you can see they affect the TEXTURE of our skin. there is no liquid or puss in them as well. when you pick them, a layer of skin can just be removed. the bump will then be gone, but will come back a day later - regrowing itself. and sometimes it would be a little itchy.
if you have that, it sounds like that i had. i had a fungal infection. >.< GROSS. no idea where i picked it up...i prolly touched something dirty. ew. i used the Canesten Antifungal vaginal cream believe it or not. haha it took a while to go away, but i used it for 3 weeks or so..and it disappeared!
not sure if that helped, but i hope your bumps are gone already!

I have those on my forehead and they go away after a deep cleansing facial but they come back within a week. You could also try the Philosophy Microdelivery exfoliator which helps get rid of the bumps for like 2 days in a row followed by a Cupcake mask by lush. Hope this helps if other things haven't worked out

I have some of these on my forehead; they're not super-noticeable, but they make me feel self-conscious. I only exfoliate with St. Ives once a week, tops, so I am honestly surprised if that's the problem. It makes most of my face feel wonderful.
I use the "invigorating" one; perhaps the "gentle" one has smaller beads...?
Are there are drugstore brand micro exfoliants? That Olay one ya'll are talking about is $25 at my drugstore, and that's just too much for a cash-strapped college student. (And according to LMD's post, it only worked in the short run. Boo!)

I think I have this too. Does it look anything like this? (warning, this image is kind of gross)

I have these things appear on my chin constantly. I remove them every night but they always reappear throughout the day. It makes me extremely self conscious because it looks very gross even though I make sure to keep my skin clean. I am very oily so that might be why. I currently use Cetaphil facial clenser, st. ives apricot scrub, retin A micro cream, and benzyl peroxide gel. This has cleared up all acne problems aside from this. It seems as though there is nothing I can do and it's very depressing. I would do almost anything to get rid of them.

It sounds exactly like what I used to have all the time. It's called Milia. I've tried everything in the book to get rid of it, but I figured out it's usually a bacteria build up, like pimples. I usually get an outbreak whenever I wear my hair more towards my face for several days straight, or the number one 'volunteer' is the bacteria from my phone (because it's all on the right side of my face where I constantly hold it!).
