MSM is also a common ingredient in many cosmetics and skin care products, such as creams, gels or shampoos, where it helps relieve the symptoms of skin conditions such as acne or psoriasis. Dimethyl sulfone has also been added to some toothpastes, it is expected to act as a whitening and anti-inflammatory agent.
