In my experience, it just made it look worse. Also, it leaves behind red marks... I wouldn't recommend it!
Instead, put an ice cube on the pimple to take the swelling down, and a hot wash rag on it for about 5 to 10 minutes, to speed up the healing and make it look less noticeable.

NATURAL ACNE PROTOCOL
1/ Never, ever touch your face.
2/ Use 3 facecloths to wash your face, one to soap on, one to soap off with very hot water, one to rinse off with ice cold water, in that order, once a day.
3/ If you are under 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A once a day with a full meal
4/ If you are over 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A twice a day with a full meal.
Do not get pregnant while taking vitamin A. Do not take any more, like Accutane, it will stop you growing.
5/ Never, ever. pick, squeeze or pop your spot. Read number 1 again.
6/ Do this for 90 days.
7/ Invest in a brand new pillow and 2 new or more pillow cases to �double bag' your pillow. HOT wash every couple of days.

A bit of advice given to me as a teenager, a bit of science as I am studying allergic reactions and vitamin A is a part of that. A bit of research: I sat in a lecture at the back and watched the acne prone pick at their faces, those with the worse acne touched their faces 32 times in an hour, the clearest complexions didn't touch their faces even once. I have circumstantial evidence that acne is the result of dermatophyte transfer from hands to face...where it does not get washed off and is well fed by hormones, sweat a
nd oil...just a hypothesis... But it would explain why vitamin A is so effective as vitamin causes skin to remove dermatophytes.
The secret is never to touch the spots

howdy. No it particularly is not real. in case you place toothpaste on you pimples/pimples/zits, your face gets worse and gets burned via the acid in the toothpaste. Neutregena is an extremely good employer. attempt utilising one among their products, and that they might desire to artwork! good success! :) -aLaNnA ?

I don't know, I have never tried it. It would make sense though since toothpaste kills bacteria. Give it a try and let us know.

It speeds it up, that's for sure. Drys out the pimple.

It dries it up, but not any more quickly than if you got clearasil or something like that. But then again, clearasil won't leave your pimples smelling minty-fresh.

It never worked for me, but I know quite a few people who do it and love it, so I would try it...

Yeah, but it has to be plain tooth paste not the gel kind.
