WOW! I'm very surprised that there isn't even one
post on MSM here. It is one of the most important
supplements one should be taking for Skin,Hair and nails.
Just do a search on google and learn all the benefits
MSM will do for your skin, hair, and nails.

Take care.

Yes, you are correct on that, but it is also very important (for your skin anyways) to use MSM topically as well. I use Jarrow MSM gel (you can find this online by doing a search). It is excellent not only for people with acne prone skin but also skin ailments such as eczema, psoriasis, scar tissue, stretch marks... probably just about any skin anomoly you may have. Taken internally and used externally it will work the best. I would take at least 1-2 grams (1000-2000 mg) daily. SOme people take more. This is also EXCELLENT for people with arthritis. The Jarrow gel I use can be massaged into joints as well. YOu can probably find a different kind of MSM cream/gel at a heathfood store, but make sure before you buy it (if you are going to use it on your face) it is noncomodogenic.
