Cons:
it made my skin worse
I used toothpaste, not the gel, and I left it on over night. The next day, I had a lot of white heads around my chin area. I'm guessing it didn't work for me because my skin is sensitive, idk. I don't want to try it again because I'm afraid it might get worse, but it might work for someone else

Pros:
NONE
Cons:
Made my acne grow twice in size, become even more inflamed!
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:
none
Cons:
it made my skin totally red and the toothpaste didnt help at all! my pimple just got worse and swollen to the size of a squash!!!
do not use toothpaste!!! its not worth the risk of having ur pimple get worse, just like mine! the swelling didnt go down for about 3 days!!!!

Pros:
Cheap, easy to find!
Cons:
Didn't work for me
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...)

Toothpaste being used as an acne cure is one of the biggest lies in all cures- while toothpaste in it's purest form may or may not be effectual, the chemicals in modern toothpaste are counter-productive. A few hours of having this on my cheeks left a scar/burn like texture on my skin which has not disappeared an entire year later (or even shows signs of healing). Ultimately, another failed product. Since this is the most destructive cure I have ever tried, people should be warned not to cross a line like this. Do this at your own risk- and even then, make sure it is the pure, unflavoured type.
Pros:
none
