My face is not as smooth as before, and I've gotten about 4 major pimples so far. My forehead has small little bumps on it now. I try to drink as much water as I can without looking like I have a problem at work.

I was told by someone on this forum that B5 gets rid of this problem. How long were you taking the msm before you noticed the breakout? I'm curious cause I started it on Saturday, so I'm wondering how long it'll be before I have the same problem.

i've also heard uping your water, and b vits help with the breakouts. i would also suggest maybe using a product to help exfoliate your skin or a light chem peel, all these things would help with the removal of dead skin cells and might help them from not getting clogged, which leads to pimples, blocked pores, and white and blackheads.

I tried drinking more water and taking vitamin c and b..nothing worked my breakouts were horrible..when is stopped taking the msm the breakouts stopped..i just get a couple now and then but nothing like before.

I would like to know as well since i still have 7/8 of a jar left.

I'd like to chime in and mention that high quantities of MSM detox the body so breakouts may also be a sign that internal cleansing is going on. I'd imagine cleaning up your diet (cutting back on fats, dairy) and drinking lots of water can probably get you past the detox stage faster. I wouldn't hurt to get B5 (or a B complex would even be better). Or you can just reduce your dosage.

MSM wasn't for me and might not be for you OP. I was drinking so much I thought I was a fish. (and vit C and B) My skin was still going crazy. I finally just gave it up. It was worth wrecking my skin for.
