[miss barnes]

i did once overnight and it didnt work for me. i used crest

[premonition]

toothpaste doesn't work for me. it actually irritated it more.

[*ilalaloveyou...]

it worked for me adi left it 20 minutes..i dunno...it stings.

[_sarcastic_]

i never tried, i use those cream, but i forgot what it was called -.-

[Nicolatofu]

yeah it is supposed to work. But something like it can't be gel toothpaste or something like that. I tried but it didn't work. But i think i used the gel kind....i dunno i read about it in Some magazine

[inthemudhole]

Sometimes toothpaste works.
Sometimes it doesn't.

[tinababy143]

i read in a magazine that its not true at all, i`ve never tried it tho..so maybe it does?? I dont know..in the magazine it said it didnt work, but i have friends who have said it does work..soooo..yeah

[bisou00bisou]

The baking soda in toothpaste dries the pimple. I've tried it before. I put it on before bed and wash it off in the morning. I would suggest you use PROACTIV, it rocks really good.

[TangoMango]

i actually tried it and it made my zit bleed everytime! dont, i think its worse than popping

[MarilynMonroe]

I used it one but it has to be PASTE not GEL. No Gel.

[mirage]

does it depend on the person?

[*xcaitlinx*]

toothpaste usually doesnt work...but the cream proactiv works wonders!

[xbr0kensmil3]

i haven't used toothpaste cuz i haven't got any zits but i do hear it works

[HaN4RaNg]

i tried using it overnight and... i duno. i 4got if it worked or not lol. but i dont do it anymore

[d . O . r . k]

You're not supposed to leave it on longer than an hour.

It worked for me

[houjin_himo]

never heard of doing that....man do i need to be updated

[nlgrl]

i tried it... it doesnt work

[sugarcultluver]

i've never tried it before...
i've never even heard of putting toothpaste on zits lol

[HaN4RaNg]

no longer than an hour? ahahaha~ dangit >_<

[hallucinateimagi...]

Toothpaste is supposed to dry up your zits. It doesn't work on me. Use acne cream...i use proactiv. If you want on-the-spot treatment, try concealer wands that treat and conceal. Clinique works well too...

[thesecretmodel]

I know about this type of stuff. If you use toothpaste on your zits, it must have baking soda in it and it MUST be a paste. Gel will not work. Also, if you don't have any other type of acne medication, simply take some baking soda and water and mix it to a toothpaste-like consistentsy. (Spell check!)

Proactiv is also fantastic. So is Clearasil Ultra. Clearisil. Clearesil. SPELL CHECK!

[ANG33ZY]

I never tried putting toothpaste on my zits .. I use Proactiv :)

[pbear]

i heard using toothpaste on zits is bad for your skin, so i don't.
i use neutrogena.

[x_fosheezy]

Never works.. well thats what my friend told me

[spUnkyfOtOgrafr]

i tried usin toothpaste once. all it reallie does is that it dries it out and stuff. and it doesnt always work. but anyways. i use proactive. but the downside. is that it doesnt work on evryone. sooo. just kept experimentin wit different types. youll find one the owrks for you

[miss_asian]

didn't even noe u could do dat... :smile:

[crash57]

*cringe*
big no no
try neutrogena.

[sugar_kisses]

you keep it on over night. oh and i use clearasil face wash it works best for me

[angeloncloud9]

I read on a magazine that toothpaste doesn't do anything.

[sexii_dessert]

toothpaste on zits worked for me lol but i just put it on for like 15 minutes (it stings) n washed it off...i dunno about u tho =/

[pikimoo]

Never even heard of toothpaste on zits.

I use Noxema.

[lilJdawg]

i never got a zit before, but i heard it works.

[loveylovely]

I've never heard of doing that. I use Clearisil Ultra and facewash.. works okay for me.. exept for those few occasional zits. *runs off to try the toothpaste*

[imanormalgirl]

I have never heard of that. I use proactive. and there's this mask with sulfur, an ingredient, that can dries the pimple or zit. you can also spot treat with that and it can go away overnight.

[lilnatcat]

Toothpaste on zits??? You can do that???

[leefunnn]

.

[INSOMNIA]

TOOTHPASTE ACTUALLY MAKES IT WORSE BECAUSE TOOTHPASTE HAS SOMETHING IN IT THAT DEHYDRATES YOUR SKIN SO SINCE IT'S DRY YOUR BODY MAKES MORE OIL. ATLEAST THAT 'S WHAT I HEARD ON T.V. BTW I'M NOT YELLING I JUST LIKE CAP LOCK

[*wind&fire*]

i got desperate...put it on..didnt work.. but i smell MINTY!

[toodlepops.]

i don't think ur suppose to do that. toothpaste is alkali. it stings ur skin.....i think

[loveylovely]

toothpaste works on mosquito bites .. not zits .... lol -_-;;

oh does that really work? on mosquito bites?

[leefunnn]

.

[ApunBindaas]

Never heard of this. I only heard it for minor burns to soothe the instant pain

[tallaznkate]

NEVER TRiED iT BUT TWO OF MY FRiENDS SAiD THAT iT WORKS

[leeniex3]

hummz never used it X: used waht mai doctor gave me heh

[thundergirl14]

i don't know. i use cream

[Too Asian To DIE]

never heard of that.... i use this line of noni products ... noni is a type of fruit in hawaii thats suppose to be really good for health and skin and blah blah blah... it works pretty good for me... proactiv only works on sum people... not all

[shortiiex]

it makes it smaller but redder and it does work

[pink_tootsie]

i think you are suppose to leave the toothpaste on your face throughout the night, and i use proactive

[Peppermiint_rose]

umm..actually..my mom said it does work..because it drys out your skin and gets the oil out!

[parallel]

Toothpaste on zits? What? I've never heard of that before.. Anywho..I just..wash my face with soap lol..

[Litobabygurl88]

Heard of it, but never tried it.

[lovemeofrme]

hey people...ok...this is what i use...i use like cvs brand face wash and even tho it may sounds cheap it really works them i use this stuff called "duac face solution" and it is the best thing ever...it really works...i do use toothpaste and it does work..i got the tip from my friend and she does it too...you put it on and rub it in and leave it on..it works for me..i only use it when i get bad one's not for little one's...well hope i helped

[blah1234567]

ever see 'my big fat greek weding'? does the windex spray really work lol?

[Trolling]

Its actually the flouride that helps... I had to get a teeth cleaning one day and liquid floride spray on my face... the next day my face was clean 0.0

[DaTuRtLeSZ]

If you use Crest / Colgate (the paste - not gel), it works. It has like 0.28% CaF (calcium flouride) and that is soluable in water. You have to wet your face before you put toothpaste on so that CaF dissolves into Ca and F ions. Flourine is one of the most reactive atoms cuz it has the highest electronegativity and b/c of that it'll bond to mostly anything... So it works - Just remember to put some Vitamin E after ur done

[hpsm2]

It doesn't work for me... I use something else

[brand0n]

i use proactiv..works pretty good but my pimples come up like 1 day later..


i never tried toothpaste

[babyxyelloe]

umm, i thought it wasnt true and that it just infected your pimples even more.

[charanjust4yu]

i have pimples...the only thing that works is proactiv

[perfectxflaw23]

I've never tried that toothpaste thing. I read somewhere to use Listerine, and it actually helped a bit. But now I just use Proactiv for my acne (I'm so happy, it's practically nonexistant thanks to that stuff). I use Rembrandt.

[dani41790]

i heard that it doesnt work. never tried it though so idk

[azn_shorty]

i've tried using toothpaste.. but WARNING: it kinda leaves a scar on your face...it kinda blackens the area where your zit was...WHICH SUCKS

[Animelover113]

toothpaste usually doesnt work...but the cream proactiv works wonders!

I do agree because i used that once and it worked like a charm! I should warn you, only use it for emergencies, because you're body could get immune to the cream....
