no it doesn't, I used to have baaaaaaaaaad acne! didn't work at alll.. And its just a big myth, It will probally take the swelling down a bit, bUt u have to use the white toothpaste, Not the gel, and don't spread it on a large area because it can slightly burn your skin,
Seriously, I'm just going to be honest, If you are having an acne problem please see your doctor, there is medication that you can take like antibiotics and other things that will really clear your acne up within 2 weeks, :) worked for me!!

Yes, many beauty magazines quote it as being true and my friend tried it. Because toothpaste has alcohal and chemicals that break up bacteria like plague, it also works on acne.
It dries it up and sometimes helps with the reddening. Like everyone else, I wouldn't use it for a long time because then the reverse will happen with alcohal, it'll make it worse. So leave it on for like I don't know...10 minutes? Then clean it off.

Its good for spot treatments, but not to treat an entire area of the face. Put some on a spot just before you go to bed. It works.

eat salads
avoid chocolate
if you cook near greece stop doing it now.
Wash your face or affected area at least twice daily. Use a soap that drys the skin eliminating oils

There are honestly no scientific studies that it actually works but it may help to work to dry out those troublesome blemishes.

just a tiny bit for a little while, but DO NOT put it on for long periods of time or else it will get irritated and look worst.

Yeah, just to do that a while ago. If you have a problem though, you should try proactiv.
