Pros:

If used correctly, it works very fast.

Cons:

It can leave you with a minty morning pillow.

This remedy is extremely old and it is not recommeneded by dermatologist because the FDA would go acne broke because people wouldn't be buying thier medications. The good news is that it does work effectively on 99% of people if used correctly. What you do to cure acne is researched and here. First of all, add a fiber supplement to your diet which will greatly reduce oil levels in your skin. Another really important step is to stop touching the acne because that is a number one come on for larger zits and more acne. The the cleaning process. First, After you take a shower, have a clean towel on hand that is a face only towel and dry your face well. While your pores are vulnerable from the steam and heat of the shower use a 2% salyclic acid face wash. After the face wash take some "Crest Tarter Control Regular Paste" and apply it on the whole area in smooth strokes. Let it dry and wash it off after you get up in the morning with hot water. Repeat these steps until it is gone. Works!!!

made skin worse
I tried using whatever brand of generic toothpaste that's sold at costco and it made me breakout. But I think the effectiveness has to do more with how minty the toothpaste is. The kind I used isn't super minty, like after brushing my teeth drinking water isn't super cold. And when I used it as a spot treatment, it turned inflamed red bumps into big whiteheads overnight. I've used toothpaste in the past that was really minty and it definitely didn't make my acne worse. Just check what kind of toothpaste you're using. I'd test it on a small zit that's in a less noticeable area before going ham on the rest of your face.

Pros:

Helps a lot
Leaves face feeling fresh and tighter

Cons:

Burns a ton when putting on.
Leaves minor burns.

This helps a lot but it is not permanent. The results sometimes vary but overall, its good. Do NOT leave it on while sleeping. I've had this on for only about 20 minutes and my face is a little burned.

Pros:

Really dries out pimples, also reducess redness of scars.

Cons:

Kinda burns on 'open' pimples and zits, can get in hair

This worked really well for me. I wash may face, apply it before I go to bed, wake up, wash it off, moisturize, and my skin is super smooth!
