from a factual point of view, it doesn't get rid of them. it dries them out and reduces swelling and redness. it works for me. especially if you feel a pimple forming, then just go rub toothpaste on it, and then wash it off within a few minutes.

it works great for me
but it tends to dry out my skin if i leave a little on too long

its good for those pimples that have to go away for a big occasion
but drink water
and pimples go away

Not always. It is a quick fix for taking away redness & drying out the pimple. But you shouldn't rely on it to get rid of your pimple(s) completely.

Yes, but sometimes it can dry out your skin TOO much. Use a tiny dab of a paste toothpaste (not a gel) and referably not whitening-it'll sting like mad.


Toothpaste is a good short-term, emergency fix. But it doesn't work for everyone, so I suggest investing in a good spot treatment.

Two I recommend are Clean&Clear Advantage and Clean&Clear PersaGel (but only if you're not allergic to benzoyl peroxide)

No. It does not get rid of pimples, but it does hide them if you apply a small small amount over a pimple and rub it in and then put makeup over it it helps so it's not noticeable. But note that if you do this you are causing a better chance for getting more pimples because of the build up.

There are alterniatives to this though. Mary Kaye makeup produces a product that does the exact same thing but is much much better for your skin.
