Works for certain people
I have oily skin. The toothpaste is suppose to dry out pimples. If you have dry skin or even normal skin, I don't recommend this. It could make your skin more dry. It has worked for me and my pimples have become less red and shrunken. Only apply a small thin layer.

depends on your skin type
Toothpaste has worked for me, I have normal to oily skin and when I feel a pimple lump I put toothpaste on before bed and by morning the pimple comes out to the surface, then I gently pop the swollen pore, your not suppose to pop pimples, but I know people still go for it. The toothpaste makes it easier to remove the nasty pimple whitehead lump thing without irritating your skin too much. Everyone has different skin maybe it will work if you have my type of skin.

Cons:
Mint smell can sometimes make eyes watery.
Make sure you use toothpaste that is non-gel based. Basically the normal old school stuff will do the trick.

Pros:
Clears skin quickly
Leaves my face smelling minty :)
Cons:
Leaves acne scars :(
Burnings eyes a little
I'm really glad I found this... Ive never had acne and then one day I randomly woke up and my cheeks were grossly full of acne, I have no clue where it came from I hated it so much I looked hideous... I was going crazy till I found this... I'm so glad, it's cleared away my acne quickly in only 3 days my face is almost fully clear... I didn't leave it on over night as others did, I'm using optic white and I know that would burn my face really bad, I was my face with an exfoliating scrub then apply toothpaste leave it on for about an hour or two, wash it off then go to sleep... It's worked wonderfully, the only thing I really hate is that it's leaving scars behind, but as soon as all the acne is gone I will use lemon juice for the scars which is a MIRICLE on scars, fades them very quickly... Over all I love it, my skin is almost back to how it was....

Works for Oilier skin types more than Drier.
I mentioned this before but I have studied skin and although I'm not a dermatologist or anything special since studying this and applying my knowledge to my own skin it's been so much better!
In what I learnt is that your skin is all about balance. If you have naturally oily skin, your skin will try to keep itself that way because that's it's normal happy place. Using products that dry it out may work for you in getting rid of acne/pimples but there's a simple step people believe they shouldn't take. And that's applying moisturiser. Moisturiser is incredibly important and for some people this mightn't be the case because everyone is different but on a general scale and for the majority of people this will be the case. No matter your skin type, you should still be applying moisturiser, particularly if you are using products that dry your skin out (toothpaste- why we're here). Your skin wants to balance itself and if you use a product that dries it out your skin (again, toothpaste), it will freak out and produce crazy amounts of more oil and cause even more redness and swelling just so it can get back to that 'happy' place. Just think balance with your skin and if you use this toothpaste trick remember your moisturiser, even if your skin is crazy oily!
Again, some people this may not work with as not everyone's skin can be directly thrown into a category and be expected to be the exact same as everyone else's, but for most of you this will.
For people with dry skin, toothpaste (as mentioned quite a lot in these reviews) is not recommended :-( but try products specifically aimed at dry skin. The best one I've ever used for myself (might just work for you) when I get dry skin in the winter is Garnier goodbye dry! milk cream cleanser. I realise this review isn't quite as directed at toothpaste but hopefully it helps people :-) Another tip for washing your face regards your skin type is to pay attention to the type of cleanser you're using.
For example- with oily skins, using foams or gels will aid and you'll be fine to use them because they dry out more than others. But for dry skins, using milk cleansers and creams will aid better as they produce more moisture and give your skin the ability to hold more moisture, provided you find the right one for you. Hope this helps.
