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:

Easy, cheap, doesn't really affect your nightly routine. Good use for those annoying small toothpastes they always give you at the dentist.

Cons:

Burns a little, but after a few minutes, it's easy to ignore. It's sticky when you first put it on, and it's a little hard to remember that the slight itchy feeling is toothpaste, not a normal itch.

Use toothpaste if you are thrifty, have good self-control, great dislike for your acne, and extra toothpaste. Make sure that you use paste, not gel. Gel doesn't work, and it's harder to put on. If you have a severe acne problem and possibly mental problems such as anxiety, extreme emotional periods of time (emo), extreme stress, or a self-destruction problem, don't put toothpaste on any deep lesions or cuts, as it will burn and be very unpleasant. Put it on the acne around the big problem areas. If you need motivation to continue with toothpaste (for those of us with extremely sensitive skin), take a picture that you have of you with clear skin. Put it on your sink, carry it in your wallet, wherever you know you will look at it. Look at it when your face feels like it is burning off, or you decide it is stupid. You realize that you look great acne free and you will be motivated to do what it takes to get rid of your acne. Cheers!

Pros:

Works great, get rid of acne very well.

Cons:

Toothpaste is slightly corrosive, so you have to be carefull with it. Also dries out your skin really bad.

I use aquafresh, it seems to work the best. Main thing is to not use alot of toothpaste and leave it on for a short amount time. You might want to have something to fix the dry skin or something if it bothers you, besides that it works great when not abused ;)

Reduces puffiness
I like toothpaste a lot. But you have to remember to use non-gel and non-colored. Toothpaste works with the swelling and redness. If I see a new pimple coming along, then before I go to bed I put some on it, and wash it off in the morning, and it works really well. I suggest using Tom's toothpaste. One time I used colgate and crest and it did absolutely nothing for me.

The worst treatment ever!!!!
This is terrible! It did nothing to my pimple or acne. It just made it more painful,red and irritated. Also If by chance you happen to apply it anywhere on your facial skin other your acne area you will break out terribly! Please don't you this.

h'm,, questionable...
First of all before you apply toothpaste please, please make sure your applying it to a pimple (acne) is actually a pimple. I thought a bump i had on my chin was a pimple but,, it wasn't and i broke out in a horrible rash (it was sore). so, it dries out skin, dry skin means even more pimples... i'm not quite sure whether it works or not though,, so i guess try it for yourself..
