Very astute observation bro... I don't think the MSM on your face topically has the same affect as a topical acne med with regular sulfur - they are chemically different...
Those topic sulfur acne meds kick ass, though. They really kill the zits fast. Proactiv has the mask - and, OK, don't laugh, but Principle Secret has a "Blemish Buster" solution - it's incredible. Yeah, this girl I was seeing got me all hooked up with that shit.

One more thing about all this... Here are some of the keys to controlling acne:
1. Keep the layers of dead skin from building up. (This is where alpha hydroxy, glycolic, and other fruit acids come in - they slough off the dead skin). Keeping the live layer on top improves the appearance - it also helps fight dryness.
2. Don't use too much moisturizer in the morning, as dirt will collect on it and clog your pores.
3. You need to keep your face clean to prevent bacteria from getting a stronghold.
4. Killing the bacteria can be done with benzoyl peroxide, guggolbolic, oral antibiotics... But, this stuff can really dry out your skin.
5. Again, acid skin peels help in fighting dry skin, but you can overdo it... Moisturizer at night might help.
6. Avoid alchohol containing products as they dry you out.
7. Make sure any products you use are "noncomedogenic" - that means, "won't clog your pores".
8. Try microdermabrasion. It aggressively takes off the top few layers of skin and can lessen the appearance of acne scars.
9. Try a loofah sponge when you wash your face - it scrapes off the dead skin.
10. I know way too damn much about this shit to be macho! But, if you're lookin' good - it's easier to get laid. Period.

What's Microdermabrasion? Are you talking about Lasers or an OTC product?
Another question, Which do you think is Stronger on Acne, Benzoyl or Saylic Acid? Also what brand Guggol Do you use, and how many mg's?
I use about 6-10 grams of B-5 daily which seems to keep things somewhat undercontrol.
When I'm on a Strict Cutting or Bulking Program, that requires at least 300 grams of protein a day, my face seems to immediatly get better. I'm almost positive that a Higher protein intake 1.5-2 grams per lb of bodyweight helps with Acne. H20 as well.
Peace

For microdermasion info - just search about it on the net. It's a service - not a product. Basically, they slough off skin by spraying sand on you and sucking the sand (and your dead skin) up with a vacuum.
Guggol? I use Guggolbolic two capsules twice a day.
Benzoyl peroxide is definitely stronger on acne than salcylic acid from what I know, but only a good dermatologist will be able to answer that definitively.
What you said about water is right on. You've got to get tons of water.
Interesting about B% and protien... I'll have to try that!

For me, Vitamin A and pantothenic acid(Vit B5) works to prevent acne. Both are documented to do just that.
If I have one or two acne spots, I found rubbing it with aloe vera gel w bee propolis works very well. I use Forever Living Products' Aloe Propolis Creme. It helps with acne healing as well.
