No, it dries out the acne which makes it smaller!!

I heard that it dries it out but then it infects it again and the pimples come out again. which is true plus it lives you with ugly acne scars.

Toothpaste works well with those problematic pimples that need be cured overnight. The best thing to do is use colgate PASTE never gel overnight and when you wake up the pimple should be dried up.

Be careful what toothpaste you use, but I've heard it does help.

It will give you scars. Don't do it. Use hydrogen peroxide on a cotton ball & then your acne should turn white, then put hydrocortisone cream on it before you go to bed & in the morning it will be like literally gone. (:

I don't know how it would do anything anymore they took out the ingredient out of toothpaste years ago and if you choose to still try it the fluoride will burn your skin.Dermatologist will tell you this same info.

If you look at the other thread of another girl who asked the same thing then asked why her skin got burned and started to bleed, she had a picture up of her skin all red.Toothpaste use to be used for acne, but no longer has that ingredient in it.

Just saying but Tht is not safe. I don't have acne nor pimples. But thts not a good idea. If its really bothering you. I'd get something from a pharmacy or ask your dermatologist about your skin.
