Has anyone here had success applying toothpaste to pimples?

Question

Which toothpaste did you use? I've tried this trick with a couple different types of toothpaste and it's never helped one iota.

Answer 1

Toothpaste, really?!

Never tried doing that. Very very rare i get pimples. But i will surely keep that idea and do it.

Probably the best tooth paste must be the original one no other added things on. Colgate is good brand.

Answer 2

It works sometimes, other than that, it makes the zit red.

Answer 3

Answer 4

Oh, it works. I use it everyday and I keep it on for 10 mins.  

Answer 5

i have done ithundredsof times, but paste has to stay on pimples for over an hour, and while skin is not growing so you should be awake. sad part is during class is the best time to wear it, as thinking and/or social stimulation causes your body to make ansnzyme that reacts with flouride andkill s acne. a few weeksof geekiness, and Voila! who is zit free and laughing now!

Answer 6

I used some sort of Colgate... didn't work. I left it on overnight.

I think it's because of all the chemicals put into it. I tried Baking Soda and saw almost instant results. Just mix the baking soda with a tiny bit of water, and dab on with a cotton bud or q-tip.

Answer 7

The reason it does not work is because they have changed what they put into toothpaste mostly chemichals now.

It used to be mostly baking soda / chalk and mint extracts

So your better off trying baking soda paste since it has the same drying effect

Answer 8

Yes. I use it whenever i get really big pimples.

Try it with Colgate. Non-mint.

:]

Answer 9

all it does is soothes down the pimples.  

Answer 10

Nope, not at all. They say you have to use the white past kind, not the the gel and I've tried a lot of times but never worked for me, it actually made it worse. Works for some, not all.
