Cons:
- Kind of burns, but maybe thats just me
- Some people are alergic to baking soda and/or peroxide and that's the main ingredents in a whitening tooth paste so the first time you do it I recomend you only do it in one area and but just a tiny bit on to see if your skin is alergic or if you have an alergic reaction!
It cleared up most of my acne, made the redness go away or fade and it's something you should have lying around in your bathroom anyway. USE THE PASTE NOT THE GEL and it actually made my skin feel softer.
All skin types are different though so it might not do the exact same for you but I would try it.

Pros:
DOES work in reducing inflammation and redness.
Cons:
None.
If you use this home remedy (which I do highly recommend) please,please be sure that you use toothPASTE not the gel kind. Also, don't drown the pimple in the toothpaste!!! You don't need a lot, just a dab on the pimple, and you must rub it in so you can no longer see the toothpaste. Make sure you do this right before you go to bed. As soon as you wake up in the morning, gently wipe it off with a damp cloth. The pimple should be visibly reduced.

It frickin works.
Obviously you should only use a simple more mint or white paste. Don't be stupid, don't use Colgate or any cinnamon flavored toothpaste. I recommend crest. I put it on at night or I put it on in the day if the pimples are painful. The toothpaste removes the pimple and reduces swelling and pain. There is a huge be. S. Campaign out to smear this in home treatment. Funded by the manufacturers of acne treatments, benzoyl peroxide, and by dermatologists.

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.

Great on a blind pimple
I have used toothpaste on a blind pimple. Leave it on overnight. It'll come to a head. If the pus comes out gently push the rest out, but you'll have to get the solid creamy color plug out. If it's not out, the pimple will return again.

Pros:
dries out acne
easy to use
you've got some in the bathroom already
Cons:
dries out skin
can make skin red
burns a little (I think it feels kinda nice)
I wear this as a spot treatment occationally. I put it on after washing my face in the evening and I wear it all night. I find it helpful - it dries out skin and prevents acne that's forming under the skin from becoming a problem. If I catch a blemish forming under the surface early, this will stop it! However, it dries out skin a lot! don't use more than one or two nights in a row - I made this mistake at first and got horribly dry, red skin. Give it a try, though - you've already got some at home, what do you have to lose? :)

Pros:
Clears acne VERY FAST
Cheap
didn't dry out skin
great for small or large acne spots
Cons:
stings a little
Perfect overnight spot treatment. Leave it on for 30 min to and hour, wash it off, and what I like to do for added treatment is take some ice, wrap it in a cloth or paper towel and place it on your acne mark or spot and leave it on for 30 sec. This helps as well!

flattened out my larger ones

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:
-Made white heads go away
-Made my bigger pimples smaller or flat
- It didn't try out my skin, only my pimples, maybe because I dotted it on or something but the funny thing is when I washed it off my skin felt alot smoother! :D
