It has worked for me several times in the past. But be careful not to put too much on, as it can irritate the normal skin around the zit, making it dry and red.

I think it works, based on experience. I hardly ever get pimples, so I don't keep zit cream around. That's why I use toothpaste on occasion. I would imagine that a good acne cream would be more effective though. Good luck!

It depends on the brand I think. Don't know which one is better though. All I know is that it has something to do with the fact that if you leave it on all night, the zit will dry up faster that without any.

I heard this recently too. I tried it and it dries it out. But over the counter cream like Oxy 10 cream speeds the clearing fastest.

Yes it works, it will dry the zit up.

Tooth paste is way to harsh on the face. I've done it before and it only makes it worse.
