Toothpaste On Pimples?

Question

Does it really work? And which kind should I use? Mint or regular paste.

I don't really care if you have never heard of it. My question wasn't: "Have you ever heard of toothpaste on pimples?" o.O

Answer 1

The only reason people say it works is cause it drys ur skin out. But i did hear that listerin has an ingrident that works good for pimples.

Answer 2

1

Answer 3

Guess it only works for some people. Just get a small tube of the regular paste. Wash your face and don't scrub. Put a small dab on the pimple and go to sleep. When you get up the next morning the pimple will still be there, but it won't be filled w/pus (pusy?) or inflammed. A mud mask works too. Never heard of visine though. and lemon burns.

Answer 4

The last week I tried toothpasts on a undergrounder pimple, no the solution for me. I used crest, but it kinda ate at my skin. i know that sounds gross, but i dont want you to experience the same thing. Especially if you try to pop the pimple after applying the toothpasts. Anyway, I started checking into other easy, home solutions. I found one that worked better for me. Lemon Juice. Good Luck!!

Answer 5

It works, but only because it dries out the pimple and your skin really badly. I don't recommend it; you're better off using a pimple gel from a brand like Clearasil. It will give you better results. The toothpaste can irritate your skin a lot.

Answer 6

I used plain white kind like colgate or something not a gel. Just a tiny dab--yes it worked! Do it at night before bed after washing face. Another trick to get the red out of a pimple is to squeeze some visine on a q-tip and dab on the pimple.

Answer 7

Neither works because toothpaste does not work on pimples at all. Its a beauty myth.

Answer 8

Ordinary paste.Here are some simple remedies if you are interested you can try them out, tomato slices, turmeric, papaya juices and home made packs will treat existing pimples and prevent further problems. More remedies at the link below.

Answer 9

yep, regular old crest. put it on and let dry, wash off. acts like a mask, but the fluoride clears you up as a bonus. DO NOT FOLLOW THE ADVICE ON POLYSPORIN! polysporin is in a petrolium base. will break you out for an eternity.

Answer 10

my sister said it works but never did for me, she said to put it one and sleep with it there then wash it off in the morning but when i tried it, it burned and made my pimple all red in the morning... it might work for you... but i suggest put ice on it until the swelling goes down and reddnes goes away and then try it !
i would think regular!
