Tighter skin from MSM

fattransfercurious
$200
Pic is below to show skin improving. I just ordered a strong vitamin C with ferulic acid to add to the mix. If this brand which is not skinceuticals does not help I will bite it and spend the $166 for the real stuff. If you want the brand that I found that looks on paper to be identical then message me.

So happy for you! How is your texture? Any improvement?

I am also using msm powder and mixing it with water and sometimes Vit C and HA. I have noticed the difference in the tone of my skin. Thanking you for this info.

Oh my gosh, bless your heart. I'm so happy! First thing that worked for me. It was enough that I know it's the right thing right now and I think it's getting better with time.

So texture is the really crap part of the thing. I have a friend with the same damage who had an energy green peel and saw great results from it and I have it scheduled for a month from now. But I think timing is very important. She is almost 3 years out and I am a year out. I would say wait a year and get on msm to combat the inflammation first before going in aggressive or you will have more problems. I will post on here after my peel and let you know my results!

Hmm i thought the “texture” (lines/pores/snake like skin) WAS the inflammation? Is it something else that the MSM is helping with?

I’ve been applying topically but haven’t noticed any difference :(

Hi, did you try the green peel yet? how is your skin doing after all this time?
March 2, 2019
Unfortunately, the orange peel skin is not inflammation but the result of the microneedling. Peels, Vic C and Retin A should help exfoliate the skin. The ematrix helped with the volume loss but so far nothing has helped with the texture which feels like 80 grit sandpaper. My dermatologist and plastic surgeon said only laser could smooth the skin but I'm too gun shy to try it. The msm should help moisturize the skin and give it back some luminescence. It has certain done that for me. It will also help with the scars. Be patient and gentle. This is going to be a long journey. I will keep you posted if I find any better treatments.

No - the texture is also in places where I didn’t get microneedled. I have been told by several doctors the orange peel look is your skins inflammatory response along with dehydration.

The texture still feels rough to the touch but the overall skin looks more luminous and looks softer. I have also used MSM with DMSO. This is not a recommended treatment since DMSO does penetrate the skin. I also an RN and I have worked with DMSO in the past. You can read about it on line. Just be very careful when you use it if you do. I do think that over time using light peels and MSM you will see some improvement. Best of luck in this journey.

MSM progress

fattransfercurious
The pictures of now after msm. Trust me the texture is still there but I feel like it is tightening some and maaaybe pumping a little. Still would give it a shot! MSM cream and orally are helping. But again make sure it is distilled and of high quality. I like kala health MSM powder and the optimsm cream:)

I just ran out and pick up a leaf off my aloe vera plant. I grow organic aloe vera on my ranch in Agoura HIlls. You would like should have thought of it by myself. Thanks again for sharing and your encouragement.

Hi lovelies,
I appreciate all of your comments. I would say I have made a breakthrough in terms of healing and it comes in the form of MSM. I am 11 months post 1 microneedling disaster with too long needles.
My breakthrough? I started taking a distilled, high quality MSM powder every morning in lemon water 3 weeks ago and using an Msm cream on my face. What it has done is SHOOT THE INFLAMMATION IN THE FOOT.
I highly highly recommend you RESEARCH MSM for yourself if you are suffering from microneedling inflammation. My only regret in this front, is that I hadn't known about it and started sooner. Not to mention all the skin on my body is butter soft and my hair is growing like a weed. PM me for brands I use. I am convinced this is the way to heal my skin.
It is tightening, brightening and helping that god awful texture. It is the first thing I have done since microneedling, and ladies, I have done it all in terms of pricey lotion/serums for my skin, that is truly improving my skin. Gotta run for now but PM me if you have questions.
Keep healing and find a better, stronger self on the way. Much love and remember to love the F out of yourself, because no one else will and probably no one cares about your skin anyway.

Thank you for this post. It's been over one year after a Fractora disaster. Pitting, vertical scars, orange peel texture and hyper-pigmentation. e-matrix has helped with the volume loss and IPL has helped with the pigmentation. But I am left with the rest. I have used MSM and DMSO before. Even DMSO on the face, but never MSM on the face. What cream do you use? I have pure MSM so I guess I could use it with an essential oil. You are right about us loving ourselves but sometimes it's hard to feel that I am more than my reflection. Best wishes,

I used aloe Vera from the plant and mixed it with my powder before I got the cream and had great results! Keep up the good fight!
February 9, 2019
I would love to know what cream you’re using - I sent you a DM. I take it orally but not topically!
February 10, 2019
It is optimsm. Around $25 On Amazon. I think it helps because I am not using much else. I made the mistake of trying alpha lipid acid 3 days ago and WOW big mistake. My skin is back to looking terrible. It's such a roller coaster ride...
March 3, 2019
I also found MSM to be beneficial to my face. Still have the pitting and scars but the skin looks better over all. Thank you so much for your post.
March 23, 2019
So very pleased for you :o)
