Ah that brings back memories, I used to that. Not now, cause I don't really get them. It does work. Well it did for me anyway. I used to go to bed and leave it on and in the morning the spot would have reduced in size. But if it really starts to burn you wash it off. Your skin might not be able to take it. Everyone is different. Here's another tip get your hands on some makeup and put a dab on the spot and go to bed. It gives the same effect as toothpaste. Good luck,

Pimples, you mean? Yes. But only if you use a regular white paste, no gel toothpaste, no whitening, no tartar control, not 12 hour protection...Just bare white toothpaste. Try Pepsodent, the cheaper the better. The reason is because the whiteneing, tartar control and anything else can make your acne worse. I've tried using the Colgate whitening toothpaste I have thinking the whitening will bring down the redness...it did nothing for the pimple I used it on, but also..I'm one of the few lucky it didn't cause more acne for either...mostly because I dont have sensitive skin and it's dry.

It does work, but here's how. it dries the spot up, including your skin. Which helps the spot to heal faster. BUT on the downside, it's REALLY bad for your skin. Overdrying it actually will cause MORE problems than what you had before. if you plan on doing it, I would only suggest doing it just this one time on just that one spot. Don't make it a habit. It'll wreak havoc on your skin.

Depends. On silver, titanium, stainless steel, some gold products, teeth, porcelains, it can very easily remove spots. On human skin, it can help relieve some of the redness of certain blemishes. Not all of them however. I'd use the stuff right after a good hot shower, fully drying the skin, and then apply directly in small amounts to the test area of your skin. For a few, it works. For others, sorry.

Not in my experience LOL just leaves a sticky mess! Nothing shifts spots as well as 10% peroxide gel from the pharmacy, available without prescription and pretty darn good!

I don't know if it works on things other than countertops and tile but it does work on them. I use it in the bathroom on the sink counter when something stains it. I rub it on and leave it for a short time ,then wipe it off and rinse. It usually takes the stain out.
I use a whitening toothpaste like aim or colgate.

Bit of chemistry here - the toothpaste is alkaline and so it acts on the spot (generally a localised bacterial infection for instance in a hair follicle that generates pus) by changing the pH and making it unfavourable for the bacterium to survive.

It just dries them out and then would become more of a scab. I wouldn't recommend though because it really burns! Use clerasil instead, it's much them same but actually meant for your face.

It definitely gets rid of blackheads but spots? more people above say yes rather than no so I would go with that.
