drink lots of water, it flushes out the system naturally, what works for very oily skin is proper care. (i used to use things like dettol soap and let it dry on my skin for an hour or so and then resoap it and rinse (this worked wonders!) or handwash if i was out of my regular things, now my skin is so self regulatory i only use soap! i was the only one in my entire family of 6 who never had acne!)
natural porridge oats, if you mix some in a bowl with water, use an old toothbrush and scrub your face 2x per week with it, you'll feel the difference in no time. natural egg white, if you beat it for a minute or 2 and apply it to face as mask (maybe with half a teaspoon lemon juice) it helps to tighten pores so that less grease is on the skin to mix with any bacteria...and in so doing, less pimples. try this, if it doesnt work, i'll eat my shorts... *wink* ps. be careful with lemon juice, use it in drops, because it may dry out pimples but it can and will irritate the skin and cause itchy, blotchy redness and patches!! so, use it in liquid form diluted with, as i suggested, egg white. also, apricots, if mashed, they not only tighten pores but take away scars and blemishes. i wouldnt try toothpaste if i was you, but hey...others have from what i see in other replies. best you can do is ongoing care, oats, its extremely useful and not only that its low cost and lasts for absolutely months. best wishes...

NO - it just dries them out - if even that. I have tried it and no success has happened. Maybe you can go to the mall and buy the 30 day supply of Proactiv to hold whenever you run out. Plus - you do not want to interrupt the regimen that you have with Proactiv. Your skin is already trained with it. I wish you luck - but please do not put toothpaste on your face - they are supposed to help fight cavities - not pimples. If it was really a miracle - you would see it posted in magazines as cheap miracle cures :) I just wanted to give you an honest opinion on that. Plus it never worked for me. It just made it a little darker and a tad bit smaller. Not what I wanted.

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.
Source:
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

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
i tried this. i put toothpaste on a pimple. but i was so dumb. i left it on all day, reapplying when i didn't see the toothpaste, because i thought it'd make it disappear. but no.
it ended up giving me SCABS on my face that came off a week later.
if you're going to use toothpaste, do NOT leave the toothpaste on for long.
then rinse it off very thoroughly.
see, there are certain stuff in toothpaste that 'scrub' away skin if it's left on your skin for too long.
but after my disaster, i would NOT suggest toothpaste.
use other skin solutions.

Yes, if you have a big cyst-like pimple, cover it in toothpaste before bed. I don't know how or why, but it will help dry out and shrink up the zit! It's not meant to cover your whole face as a regular daily face cleanser though. This is for spot treatments.
Oh, and use regular (white) toothpaste, not the gel stuff.
