How do I fix milia on my face??

Question

I am pretty sure since last year I have royally messed up my skin barrier.

I fixed it in 2024, and had a great routine going! Then, I got covid and when I was sick I completely stopped my routine. I got better and got really depressed for a while. Was eating horribly & completely neglecting my skin. I was living in the dessert, and not even wearing sunscreen… yikes, IK ! 😭😂.

So, fast forward to 2025 I really never got another solid routine. I was trying a bunch of random products and everything was honestly breaking me out. Well into beginning of 2026, but last month I threw everything away and only washed my face with Neutrogena hylarounic acid wash, and put vitamin e oil from Traders on. I’ve been on that since Jan 1. I incorporated two new products. Youth to the People green cleanser & cosrx aha spray serum, but the milia still persists! I’ve also been using vaseline…

I’ve never had this issue. My skin is very sensitive. Any tips on how to build a new routine, or what I am doing wrong?
