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....

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:

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:

-Easy to find
-Works well
-Quick fix

This stuff works for pimples! It reduces the redness alot. Alot of people say to do it overnight, but really, it dries within 40 minutes. What I do, is keep reapplying (maybe 3 times) and then it's barely noticable.

Pros:

Cheap
Quick
Smells good
Reduces redness slightly

Cons:

None that I experienced
Possibly dries out skin over time

For all of you skeptics out there (like me) I've heard really bad reviews about toothpaste on zits causing MAJOR inflammation and just overall stinging. I had four little mountains pop up on my forehead overnight and today after school I decided to do a little experimenting. First of all you only need a THIN layer of WHITE toothpaste, not gel! Seriously, within an hour they deflated and now are really not noticeable! I think the redness may have gone down too. I don't think this would be best for everyday use, but its totally fine as a quick fix, just be sure you moisturize! :)

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

Toothpaste is a little zit-zapping fiend! I absolutley love using toothpaste. Whenever I see a big pimple swelling up, I just put on a dab of toothpaste and ta-da! Swelling goes doooooown. DEFINITLEY recommend it if your looking for a fast, effective and cheap way to reduce your pimples.
