Personally that has never worked for me. Try something with benzoyl peroxide in it. But if you are determined to do the toothpaste thing here is what you do: put a bit of toothpaste on any zits you want gone before bed, then go sleep and in the morning wash off the toothpaste. Wahla, they are gone. It might not work though, like it didn't for me. Well, HOPE I HELPED!!!

This works. Put the toothpaste on the zit before you go to bed at night. It looks really funny unless you rub it in a whole lot. And if you rub it in really well it doesn't work as good. Leave a small minimal amount that is still visible when you are done applying it. Your zit will be much better in the morning. Guaranteed.
The toothpaste is best when it's the old fashioned paste kind and not the new gels. It doesn't have to be Crest. Any paste type of toothpaste will work just fine for you. The gels don't work as well.
I have used this trick for years and it never scarred anything. It does NOT cause scars.

Hello, Sorry that is an old wives tale. It will not help putting toothpaste on your pimple. Crush and aspirin and make a paste. Than apply to the pimple. Leave it on for 20Min's. Wash it of and repeat it again the next day for 20Min's. Make a new patch of paste for your second days use. All the best,

Drys them out, then if you pick them off they leave a scar for a very long time.
I wouldn't do that if I were you. Just leave the pimple it will heal on its own.
I have tried toothpaste and the pimple dried out and I was tempted to pick it off when I did there is still a scar on my nose.
So I wouldnt if I were you. And it hurts sometimes to my skin. Its burns. Just leave the pimple to heal and it will be gone.

I've heard toothpaste is not good for your skin and may leave a scar, I would ask around before I used it.
Look in yahoo answers archives

I do not think that this is true, in fact I think it is a huge myth. I think I remember this being told untrue on an episode of Oprah or the Tyra Banks show. Hope you find the miracle cure and pass it along! :)

You already have the details . . . put on for 5 min , what else is there ?
