Yes, toothpaste helps to minimize your pimples. In some cases, it can even diminish them! I also read that aspirin helps to reduce pimples, you're supposed to crush it up and add a little water to make it creamy and then apply it. I found it here http://www.ebeautyzone.com/Forum_Thread.aspx?threadsk=250&catsk=11 . Pretty cool if you ask me!

Toothpaste dose have a drying effect on pimples, but I would just stick to the real zit creams available.
