Does toothpaste on zits really work?

Question

I need to know if toothpaste on zits really does work. What will happen if i use whitening toothpaste? will it make them worse?

Answer 1

you have to use regular tooth past or it wont work no whitening no nothing just regular past wash you face then put it on before you go to bed. should re-dues the size and color

Answer 2

I've heard no. You actually can get an infection doing that... Use proper zit creams and care.

Answer 3

Well it helped a little bit on me and my aunt said to use COLGATE TOTAL WHITENING (gel)  It depends how many you have. If you have alot I don't know? I had only one and it work a little. If you use it do it almost every night. It will HELP!!   (PS) DON'T USE PROATIVE IT DON'T WORK AT ALL.  IF YOU SKIP A NIGHT USING IT.  YOU WILL HAVE ALOT MORE zits than you had

Answer 4

white paste dries out the pimple or zit. It cant be a gel and you cant use a lot. a little white dot will make you look funny if you use too much the chemicals will burn your skin and the zit will leave a dark discoloration.

The whole toothpaste thing works for me but it might not work for you. Remember to wash your hands b4 u wash your face and use a gentle cleanser. Drink tons of water, eat healthy, and exercise (you'll be surprised simply drinking the right amount of water will make a difference in a day).

Hope I helped :)

Answer 5

It didn't work on me at all, and it made my acne spots appear darker. Never using that again!

Answer 6

Toothpaste does work pretty good, as long as you mix it with WATER! I put regular toothpaste on my face and I had a huge burn for two days. My mother (conveniently) forgot to tell me to add water.  It did help my zit in the long run, though.

Answer 12

oh lordd.

hunny.

teh first time i tried toothpaste.

It BURNT the FKK outta my spot.

&& the next morning it was even more red and browwwnn. and crusty.

Soo a few months later i try it again on this other zit. and omfggg. the same thing happened.

Don't take a chance. iT could get ugly. some people use that shiiit cause they're only into 'home-remedies' which dont fckin work :S

DON"T TRY IT>

I tried teh regular crest toothpaste... sucked asssss.  

Answer 13

no not on everyone it really dries ur skin out its not worth it trust me  

Answer 14

it mite make them whiter lol...idk my gram always said it worked but i dont think they had whitening in her days...just try it on one where it wouldnt be too noticeable and see how it works out!

Answer 15

yes it drys them out. but squeeze the puse out first.

Answer 16

whitening toothpaste wont make it worst. if your zits are pretty mild, it basically just dries them out and it'll go away faster. if you have like severe acne, i don't recommend it. and don't like, smear the toothpaste all over your face. just do dabs on each individual skin. you'll feel a "tingling sensation" but that's just the toothpaste. best to use just regular toothpaste.  

Answer 17

it depends on the person

for me it doesnt work.

but i use pro activ, and that works great for me

Answer 18

no. the best thing to do is to cleanse the area and to not touch it at all until it heals (7-10 days).

Answer 19

it will not make them worse it does help but u have to do it and leave it on over nite its something to do with the whitening in the toothpaste

Answer 20

The combination of Tea Tree Oil soap and the Clindamycin cream is the best for Acne and pimple.

For acne scars and blemishes my wife use  papaya kojic and licorice base soap and cream which are available online. These work wonders. Maybe it will work on you too. Try searching it through Google 'shopaholic's bargains'
