Question

Toothpaste on Acne, Does it really work?

Answer 1

No sirey Bob!!

Answer 2

I did it before I went to bed. I put it on a blemish and when I woke up I could see a difference. It went down a lot. Some people say it doesn't work, some say it does. I guess it differs with people. I think it was a whitening toothpaste. It helped with me. I hardly get blemishes anymore so just keeping my face clean and using an oil free makeup keeps me clear. I would say try it and see for yourself.

Answer 3

Yes and no. Toothpaste (or perfume) dries out the spot but that's not really a good thing. I wouldn't recommend it.

Answer 4

It dries the pimple up but I wouldn't recommend it because it dries out your skin.

Also it might make things worse if you have sensitive skin like mine.  

Answer 5

WATER!  This is one of those little secrets they don't want you to know. Flavored water doesn't qualify. You need good purified water or filtered water. Can you drink 1 gallon a day?   That's all it takes to have perfectly clear skin. You notice a difference in just one day.

Answer 6

yes it would but be very careful toothpaste will burn your skin lik crazy yes put it exactly where it need to be

Answer 7

i tried it once, and it didnt do much.

it might depend on what kind of things are in the toothpaste.

Answer 8

according to the first answer, it doesnt.

but according to me and my experience, it does.

any night i see that im getting a pimple or zit or something, i just put some on and the next morning its usually almost gone.

Answer 9

No not really. I've tried it a few time, never noticed a difference. It's supposed to dry it out. I've put it on before bed and woke up in the morning and took it off, but nothing had happened. It's just a rumor.

Answer 10

It sometimes does. It just depends on the pimple. Be sure to only dab a little bit of the white minty kind on the pimple - never use it as a mask.

You'd be better off taking one Vitamin E and one Vitamin A before bed each night, and drinking at least 3 tall glasses on water throughout the day (one before bed!). It gets all the c**p washed out of your system, and can improve your skin condition. Or dab a bit of peroxide on the pimple, or a mixture of baking soda and water. Cover it with a good foundation - one that has lots of water and doesn't clog pores, and you should be good to go!

Answer 11

You know I actually tried it once and it slowly worked.  I couldn't keep it on for very long because it burned my face.  But in about a week the pimple was dried out.

Answer 12

use egg whites

Answer 13

Crush up aspirin, mix in water and use that instead. Toothpaste is a myth.

Answer 16

It will dry out your skin. and probably damage or irritate the skin, making blemishes heal slower and stand out.

go to the dermatologist and get medication. Benzoyl peroxide is the active ingredient in most medications.
