Cons:
It BURNS! Usually leaves a little red spot with no head (see scar) if you pop it first.
Neroli Oil does the same thing, but won't leave you with a scar like toothpaste and other foreign materials can. Google; "Neroli oil for healing acne scar damage" if you made the same mistake I did. Don't pop zits unless they are ready and do it right!

Pros:
Cheap and effective
Dries out acne
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:
Gets rid of pimples faster than some other treatments
Just generally get rid of pimples
Cons:
You a nice pink burn in replace of the pimple
Okay so I was never told to leave it all night and so I got some pink burns in replacement of my pimples. I'm still trying to figure out what treatments I could cure the burns with but other than that I don't think I want to try toothpaste again when I go to sleep haha. Just 20-40mins with it should be better

Pros:
Stops pimple from getting bigger and swelling
Cheap
Everyone has it already
Cons:
Stings
Doesn't work on all pimples, only some
can be kind of hard to get off once dried
So I use toothpaste on my zits, and it works fairly well. I take the toothpaste, and then drown my pimple in toothpaste. Lol. I apply the toothpaste at night, and then leave it on while I sleep. The toothpaste may sting a bit in the beginning. Some toothpaste might get on your pillow, but you can wash that off. By morning, the pimple is usually smaller and less red. However, the toothpaste doesn't affect all pimples. Some pimples just stay the same. I've noticed that the toothpaste is more effective on newer pimples just starting to form, than big swollen oily pimples. The bottom line is that toothpaste isn't a miracle cure for your pimples, but for something that is already in your house and extremely cheap, it is definetly worth a try.

Pros:
dries up the zit,
already in your house
Cons:
not good for sensitive skin. Don't use gel toothpaste, it gave me chemical burns. And they really hurt
My friend turned me on to this idea. I was at her house, she had toothpaste paste, and it worked wonders. I came home, used our toothpaste which is a gel and it made my zits even worse and i got a chemical burn from it. So use the paste not the gell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pros:
Dries out the zits, reduces redness
Cons:
Makes skin a bit flaky.
well i had this pimple on my chin for like 3 monthes that wouldnt go away it either got all puss filled or scabby and i put the toothpaste on it gone the next day, and i was really happy :)
February 19, 2010
Pros:
Cheap , easily available from any supermarket/wal mart etc
Makes big spots go FAST!
Cons:
However, it drys skin out big time, can also leave a big un-sightly purple/brownish mark on your face, which can take a good couple of weeks to fade- or maybe even more =
Get it if you want your spot to go quick - but then be prepared to suffer the dark un-sightly mark on your face! =

Pros:
none
Cons:
it burns your skin off!!!
toothpaste def doesnt work so idk why everyone says it does. the reason that it used to be a big deal is cause toothpaste used to have zinc in it which works on acne but toothpaste doesnt contain zinc anymore. when i used it it like chemically burned my face or somthing like that. my skin was buring and dry and my skin peeled off. it was terrible!!! so unless you want to burn your skin then go ahead and use it
Pros:
It works a little
