MSMPure Max Strength Skin and Facial MSM Gel with Aloe, 8oz, Preservative Free Formula for Soft, Smooth Healthy Glowing Skin, Softer Hair & Acne Treatment

Very good cleaning gel,you may use it as often as you need with out side effects.

I used this gel on my pseudo foliculis and it cleared it within ten days, it stopped itching almost instantly. I gave it to my son to use on his psoriasis and the skin was smooth after a few applications, he’s just waiting for the redness to go. I will definitely be buying again, if it ever runs out.

makes a great aftershave.

very soothing

goes on the skin smoothly and sinks in nicely leaving the skin smooth and silky.

The gel feels lovely on skin, it cleans skin well, it does not irritate and I totally recommend for people with problematic and sensitive skin.

Had high expectations for this. However it dried out my skin. Expensive mistake.

Perfect

So far so good

About 7 months ago I noticed that the kp on my arms had gotten so bad that my arms felt like lizard skin(forget chicken skin!). Coupled with pretty hyperpigmentation from the KP, I tried to figure out what to do about it since my arms had never looked or felt this bad! I tried Amlactin Rapid Relief for several months which helped a little but not enough. So I added in CeraVe's Rough and Bumpy Skin gel wash and a Korean exfoliating towel as well. That helped considerably. Then I started watching Dr. Vanita Rattan on YouTube and she shared that AHA acids were not great for skin of color and to instead focus on moisturizing the skin and using a BHA acid. So I stopped using the Amlactin and instead focused on just using the CeraVe body wash and doubling my moisturizing efforts (I used Alba's herbal emollient lotion and then would put pure raw shea butter on as well once the lotion had absorbed) every day. This seemed to improve it considerably. BUT then, I was researching MSM and sulphur for my malassezia folliculitis and I came across a post somewhere (I honestly don't remember where) that said sulphur or MSM might be good for keratosis pilaris. This particular brand was recommended by the Simple Skincare Science website (for malassezia) so I bought it two weeks ago because I tried a sulphur soap and just didn't love the smell. Honestly, I wasn't sure that it would do much for the KP because I had already tried so many things over the years and particularly over the last six months. So far this is making some slow improvements on the skin on my face (my malassezia is not very wide-spread but pretty stubborn). In terms of my KP, however, I have seen so much improvement in the last two weeks that I am a believer! My skin is soft! There are still some kp plugs but even my hyperpigmentation (which had not improved at all with anything) looks better. I will be incorporating The Ordinary's niacinamide powder into my night routine as well to help with the hyperpigmentation but even if I weren't to use the niacinamide I feel hopeful for the first time in months that I have found a product (and a routine) that not only improves the plugs but also the hyperpigmentation which was looking pretty awful even as my kp plugs lessened. I used it in the morning and evening--I find it much more pleasant and easy to use than any of the lactic lotions in terms of consistency and smell (it doesn't smell bad at all and doesn't leave the weird sticky feel that some lactic acid lotions leave). You can also later it with other moisturizers pretty well. I'm just so amazed! I made my bf feel my arms yesterday and he was impressed by how soft my arms felt because it's literally been years since they felt this soft! I wish I had a before photo to share how bad it was even just a week ago! The kp plugs were still pretty widespread and itchy and each hyperpigmentation dot was really dark. I know that there is no cure for KP but I think I finally found products (both this and the CeraVe wash) that work much more effectively at treating it than anything else I've tried!

I purchased this for 2 reasons- to help with arthritis pain in my knees, and to smooth my perpetually inflamed skin, and I am very pleased! A little of this gel goes a long way on my face (just a pencil eraser sized amount on my cheeks, chin and nose), and I’ve been applying it under my moisturizer (Cetaphil daily moisturizer with hyaluronic acid). In just 2 days, my chronic inflammation “bumps” and redness have nearly disappeared! My skin is BABY soft, smooth pores are diminished, and my face has that “glow from within” look! Using it along with my body moisturizer (also Cetaphil brand) is transforming the rough, dry skin on my arms and legs, as well. I’m honestly amazed, because I didn’t expect to see overnight results like this. I’ve tried so many other things and nothing has ever worked this well! If you have arthritis pain, you might want to give this a try! This seems to work as well as the Voltaren and Pennsaid prescription NSAID gels for arthritis pain inflammation in my knees. My arthritis is severe, so this doesn’t “cure” anything, but it does seem to help with the inflammation in the knees and surrounding tissues. I’m hoping that this MSM gel will provide more relief with continued use. I also take MSM supplements orally, and can definitely tell a difference when I miss a day or two, so I’m a big believer in MSM for helping with inflammatory conditions. Overall, I could not be more pleased with this product! I definitely plan to purchase more in the future! EDIT: Just placed my second order, and wanted to update my review to say that this product has completely transformed my skin! I still use it every day on my face (morning and night) and on my body (put some on my hand, then add my cetaphil lotion, at about a 1:2 ratio of MSM to lotion, then just mix together on the palm of my hands before applying). My skin has never been this soft, and chronic inflammation/bumps/irritation is gone! Purchased more so that I can add some to a travel bag, but still have about 1/3 bottle left after using daily for 2 months. I’m so happy I finally found something that heals my dry, chronically irritated/sensitive skin, and I really do think this product has an anti-aging benefit, as well. This stuff is AMAZING!

Aside from being a great beauty product for the face and neck (apply to clean skin, allow it to dry, then use your regular moisturizer), I’ve found this gel to be incredibly effective for sore muscles and bug bites! Just one application to a very itchy bug bite provided relief. The combination of the OptiMSM and aloe in a clean formula makes this product a great value for the money. I will definitely purchase again, although it will be a while because the amount of product is very generous considering the small amount used daily.

I preferred the original formula of this MSM gel, which was thicker and didn't contain aloe. The previous version allowed me to add my own aloe and customize the product to my needs, yielding better results. Although the reformulated version still outperforms similar products, it falls short of its former excellence.
