Not to worry, I've found some stuff to answer my own question.-(ON MSM)
Quoted from
http://www.evolutionhealth.com/msm-powder.htm"MSM Powder can be used both internally and externally. When applied on the outside of the body it penetrates through the skin (or scalp) very rapidly and improves the health of that area where it is absorbed.
MSM is also a "carrier." It carries other substances along with it as it penetrates through the skin. Thus, MSM is the ideal substance to combine with other nutrients which are intended to be taken directly into the body through the skin.
MSM is often referred to as a "penetrant." It makes the walls of individual cells more "permeable." This means that the cells can more easily get rid of garbage that is constantly being created inside the cell, and the cell can also absorb nutrients more easily.
Different uses for MSM powder:
Put MSM in your bathwater and it will leave your skin getting smoother and smoother -- and even help eliminate minor rashes, infections and skin conditions.
Use about 2 full cups of MSM Powder in a full bathtub for a long soaking (20 minutes) bath -- and don't worry about getting it in your eyes. No problem.
Put MSM in your favorite cream or shampoo. We personally, mix the MSM powder with Jojoba Oil. Jojoba oil is the best carrier oil and has no chemical or synthetics. Just pure bliss for your skin."
This could be why people using MSM cream have had good results.
So you know what I am going to be trying:
