Pros NONE
Cons Made my acne grow twice in size, become even more inflamed!
Bottom line I applied this the night before, noticed a tingling sensation from the mint in the toothpaste, but I figured it was normal. Woke up this morning to huge, painful, bright red cysts where my acne was! I haven't broken out this badly in years.

Thank god for lactic acid, within a couple of hours of using that peel the cysts had shrunken down in size. They're still a bright-red eye sore, though.

I don't know what happened, maybe I used the wrong kind of toothpaste or something. I will NEVER try this again!!

Pros Causes blemishes to surface overnight. I will definitely be using this more often.
Cons Mint smell can sometimes make eyes watery.
Bottom line Make sure you use toothpaste that is non-gel based. Basically the normal old school stuff will do the trick.

Pros - Drys out Acne
- You can feel it working
Cons - Can Burn Skin if Left on too long
Bottom line I do this with white toothpaste every once and a while, and I've had okay results. However, the last time I tried it, I fell asleep with it on. The next morning when I went to wash it off my face, I was horrified to see that I had huge dark purple marks in some places, and my skin was burned pretty bad on my forehead. Thats never happened before, so I steamed my face and applied Melaleuca Oil on the spots so it would heal & not leave scars. It worked, && I'll never mess with toothpaste again.

Pros *You're bound to have it.
*Dries up spot.
*Reduces redness.
*Smells nice xD.
Cons *Pillow case mess.
Bottom line Used this when I had light acne (moderate now). Funny story, put some toothpaste on a spot overnight, woke up in the morning and went into the bathroom the take it off, it wouldn't budge though! I scratched it a little and it turned into the biggest cyst I've ever had, still bearing the scar today, so don't make my silly mistake! Lol. Other than that, great remedy.

Pros Cheap
Easy to get
Cons A bit uncomfortable when the toothpaste gets hard, and flakes off.
Bottom line It works for me, but reading reviews - people use gel toothpaste which is often blue, green, etc.

White toothpaste is what you need, because I think it has baking soda.

Often, I try to pop the zit, or open it - then put on the toothpaste to dry it out.

If it is impossible to open up, just slather a bit, using a q-tip, on the zit.

It makes it dry enough to peel some skin off - then keep applying.

Works very well for me.
It's a family remedy from my dad :)

Pros - Gets your zits smaller and helps with my self-esteem.
Cons -kinda burns
- gets all over your pillow
Bottom line I would only use it if your acne is getting worse and you want it to go away FAST! It might not go away the first time, but it makes it smaller! I LOVE IT!!

Veggie Head from St. Louis, MO

Pros Cheap, easy to find!
Cons Didn't work for me
Bottom line I put this on as a spot treatment for a pimple that hadn't yet emerged...

when I washed it off, not only had it grown to twice its size, but it had a gigantic pus-filled head!

Then again, it could be the type of paste I'm using... I have sensitive teeth and my toothpaste is a translucent blue gel.

I encourage you to try it; if it doesn't, you didn't waste any money! (Hopefully you all brush your teeth...)

Pros Easy to get hold of
Cheap
Cons I got it in my hair lol :P
It left red marks
Bottom line I really don't know what the huge fuss over toothpaste is about. It did absolutely nothing for me. It does reduce the size of the pimple, but it does nothing to reduce the redness, in fact, sometimes it worsens the redness. I'm one for using concealer, and the red marks that the toothpaste left on my face were EXTREMELY difficult to cover up. The effects of toothpaste on the pimple is very minimal, so if you have this really random little annoying pimple, its worth a shot :) but other than that, dont bother
