NO it makes it worse let's think practical for a second here, look at the chemicals like glycerin and propylene glycol that are in the tooth paste, this is like putting oil on your pimple, some people may say they had success with it maybe because the pimple cycle is over, it was a coincidence. The pimple usually goes through a cycle it either comes all the way out and pops from your skin, or go back in and slowly come out, if it doesn't break out again. the best solution is not to touch it. touching it makes it want to come all they way out. see a dermatologist and maybe he can recommend medication for you. Way better then the do it yourself trick. Remember you only can live in one skin your life don't ruin it!!!

Toothpast is supposed to dry the blemish out. I really dont recommend it at all since it really does not work. The best stuff is A Blemish stick that you can buy at The Body Shop. The line is Called Tea Trea and the oil works great to get rid of pimples and what not! Go check it out

Lmao. No, toothpaste will not rid you of a pimple. If anything it could create more. Nor will Preparation-H. Unless you have a tube of it from years ago before they changed the chemicals in it.Your best bet is just good cleaning and any over the counter blemish reducer. If you want more natural, try witch hazel.

it always works for me. i found out that the key is that you have to put it on the area where you feel one coming in. if its already a white head then its too late. so you need to get it when its a small red mumo and irritating to touch. it has always worked for me. i just slap it on b4 i go to sleep. if its near my nose i use a face mask, just put a dab of that there so i dont have a minty smell under my nose while im sleeping =) its all abotu the timing though. it has always worked for me and im going to put toothpaste on my head tonight cause i feel one coming in! lol
but the face masks or toothpaste helps dries it out and reduces the appearance, making it go away most of the time.

No, don't try experiments by applying toothpaste on pimples it can even worse the condition leaving ugly scars on your body. Instead try to apply pearl powder, it really works. check

I don't think it does. I've tried it in the past, but nothing. I use proactive now, and the refining mask is great. You put it on overnight and it dries out the pimple.

I saw on the tyra show they said it doesn't work, but if you have a pimple and no acne medication with you they said use a crushed up asprin

As a nurse the answer is no. You need to use toothpaste on your teeth not your zits. Doesn't work..tried it.

I have tried it and it does work, something in it helps dry it out. Witch hazel also works really good and it is natural. Try it. Just dab it on.
