toothpaste for pimples


Question Posted Tuesday May 1 2007, 6:29 pm

i read in a magazine that if you put a dab of toothpaste of a pimple, it will dry out by morning.

i tried it once, and it started stinging a little. i'm just wondering if thats ok, because i don't want to make it worse..
so is it alright to use toothpaste?


help is appreciated.

It burned on your skin because of the menthol in the toothpaste. This won't harm you at all. The menthol in the toothpaste actually cleanses the skin and dries out the area while also helping with the redness.

Hope I helped you!!

It probably tingled because it was a) pentrating your skin, b) it was whitening toothpaste or c)both.


It's fine to use toothpaste. If you have really bad acne and get breakouts all the time, consider investing in a spot treatment for zits instead :)

yea it's fine.
it works "ok" but it wouldn't be my first choice, it's really meant for more of an alternative.
it's supposed to sting, that happened to me too.
you're okay!
just keep doing it for about a week straight and it should go away ;)
