Cons:
It may feel tingly
Your eyes will water
It's kinda hard to get off after it dries, but be gentle!
It really works if you need a quick fix for your acne. It's not magic and will not make your acne disappear, but it does help relieve the redness and soreness of the pimple. It's more for if you have a big event the next day and you need to reduce the redness of your acne. I recommend washing it off with a bit of warm water so it's easier to get off. Don't be afraid to try it out because you've heard about a lot of people getting scared. Test a tiny area. If it works, then try spreading a thin layer over your acne. It's best to leave it on for about one-two hours. Good luck! :)

Pros:
reduced swelling of new pimples
dries up pimples so that they can easily fall off
cheap
Cons:
left scars
stings
can be a bit messy
Ive been using colgate toothpaste for almost a month now, and yes overnight , and I usually sleep for 6-8 hours.
After a few days of using it, I saw a mild improvement--reduced the redness and the size of my new pimples. However, I started peeling it off while it was dry, and I believe that was the cause of the scars/red spots, as a replacement of my pimples,
DONT peel it off, trust me. Let it dry and mildly wash it off with noncomogenic soaps. I use Ivory since it doesnt have any chemicals.
Although it does get rid of new grown pimples, it doesnt get rid of scars, thus, try to use Tea Tree Oil. THE BEST WAY TO GET RID OF ACNE FAST, IS TO SLEEP EARLY, AND AVOID PICKING THEM.
Im a 15 year old teenager, and I usually sleep at 12-1am . From 10pm our faces start to produce more oil as usual.

Pros:
It dries pimples up sometimes
Cons:
You have to put it right on the pimple and not just rub a big glob all arount it. If you put it where you don't need it, it can dry up the healthy skin and leave a mark that looks worse than a pimple.
Try just buying a few different products from stores, then go to a dermatologist if nothing works. If you have a few days where you aren't really going out anywhere special, experiment with it a little, and start conservatively and see how much you can use. If you think it works for you, use it when you really need to, and don't use it daily. I used it twice. The first time, it made a slight effect on a pimple, but nothing major. The second time it left a painful spot of irritated skin, because I spread it around the spot instead of only right on it. My advice is to try it if you just can't get anything else to work. Once you notice a problem, stop using it and go to a doctor for help. I haven't used it since it left that mark. I think the best idea is to buy an acne solution, and if you're not happy with the results after 3 or 4 weeks, just go to the doctor. They'll figure out what kind of skin you have, and they will know what is needed to fix it. It smells good, but can be risky.

Pros:
It's fast acting and really heals
Cons:
It burns like a B---H
It's really great. I wash my face at night, and tone it when I have time, and smear the classic white whitening overly minty colgate stuff on my face and the next morning, A. all of the toothpaste is still there, and B. when I wash it off, my acne has shrunk a phenominal amount. It does work. You just need the white classic thick chunky toothpaste. The only downside is the first 20 or so minutes it really does burn/sting/tingle, and if you plan to go to bed right away GOOD LUCK. Wait for your face to absorb the minty-ness and then pass out :)

Can be effective but DO NOT use a whitening brand!
I have tried this technique on and off over the years. The cheaper the better I say- cheaper toothpastes don't have all the whitening ingredients and chemicals that some big brands contain. I do find the technique uncomfortable though. It dries awkwardly and makes me very aware of how many spots I have! I would recommend using tiny quantities, right before bed for results overnight. These results are temporary however and I would say there are better alternatives out there.
