KALA HEALTHMSMPure Max Strength Skin & Facial MSM Gel with Organic Aloe, 8 oz – Preservative-Free Skin Care for Smooth, Radiant Skin

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!

Instantly made my hair look fuller and feel stronger. I applied it right after showering - I tend to have oily hair, so I don't normally use conditioner. I can't use this every day because of my oily hair, but I use it a couple times a week. Also bought pure MSM for days I want to use it but my hair isn't dry enough to apply this. I also used this on my face and certain other areas that could use the extra collagen production.

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.

I've only used it for a little while, but I think it's making a difference in my skin. It feels sticky going on, but once it's dry it makes my skin soft. The redness in my skin has gone down.

I haven't regretted buying this product. MSM is amazing. It really does help aching joints and sore muscles. I first tried MSM from the Gel-Out brand. Gel-out is more money, but it had faster and deeper results. This gel takes a little while to notice the aches going away, while gel-out was instant and long lasting relief.I bought this brand after gel-out because it is cheaper, but in the end, I think I'm going to go back to gel-out.This product has really helped with acne on my chin. It reduces inflammation, which is nice. But it leaves a bit of a filmy residue on my skin that flakes off later.It also has a strange odor. I can't decide if it smells more like Elmer's glue or the mud pots at Yellowstone. Either one will give you an idea of what it smells like. The odor goes away after a little while, but I'd prefer to not have it at all, especially if I'm putting it on my face.So, over all, not a bad buy, but I'm going to spend the extra money on gel-out instead. With all msm gels, a little goes a long way, so it lasts a long time, and I'd rather spend a bit more for a better product.

This MSM with Aloe Gel is great for skin, hair and muscles and joints....!!!

Great moisturizer product makes my skin feel baby soft not greasy. There's no scent which helps since I have fragrance triggered migraines

There is no detectable scent and I do believe pain is diminished but I do apply multiple times. I have noticed a reduction in the protruding disc I felt around the lumbar area. I do use an acupressure mat and other items/ exercises also. The drying of this gell is really appreciated as it does not get on my clothes. As far as skin care I only tried it twice so I cannot yet comment but msm is very important for entire body and I have used MSM in supplements for years. So I may start using it on my face and further comment. Good buy. Goes a very long way as you need so little to cover an area.
