IT REALLY WORKS!!!!!!!!!!I THINK BECUASE TOOTH PAST HAS ANTI-BACTERIA THINGS IN IT, SO IT KILLS THE BACTERIA AND LETS IT DRY FASTER.....

It's not the anti- bacterial element- the pus inside a pimple doesn't need killing, it's oil. oil is natural on skin, but there are times when your body makes more of it, and then it clogs up your pores, causing buildup of dead bacteria and white blood cells- pus in short.
what the toothpaste does is it dries up the oil. that's the baking soda in it, not the anti-bacterial stuff, though baking soda has that effect on some bacteria.
washing your face works well too, if you're acne isn't too bad.

I've heard this many times...but it depends on the person and the size and location of the pimple. Sometimes it's harder to dry out when it's in a really oily area. If it's ready to be popped, then the toothpaste won't do much.

It may look miraculous but I don't think it is! Tooth past must dehydrate the skin especially on the face.If you use this method -although I am really against it- make sure to use a moisturising cream after

You're friend probably has oily skin and the toothpaste dries out the oil which caused the pimple. I wouldnt recommend it

Putting toothpaste on pimples takes away the redness it wont clear the pimple but it might reduce the size depending on ur skin type. =]

Toothpaste does work. I'll tell you what else works and alot of you might disagree. When you have a zit- pop it. After you pop it put Neosporin on it. Sounds like bad idea, but it works.

ive heard of that before. same things works with white solid deodorants. they absorb the oil and kill the bacteria. delicious.

It's true...but not the gel kind. You have to use the white toothpaste. The peppermint oil in it also helps.

I've done it before and it does work. I used toothpaste with baking soda in it. I used it everynight.
