Yes, toothpaste does work slightly to get rid of pimples. On the internet it says that if you have a true toothpaste, not a gel, with minimal additives, it can be effective. Apply it to the pimple then leave it overnight and wash it off in the morning. This may work and it may not, it all depends on your skin type, the toothpaste, and the pimple. Natural or organic toothpastes work best since they have a minimal ingredient list.
One very effective way I find that reduces the size of a pimple and helps it to go away faster, is to run very warm water over a spoon and then press the hot spoon against the pimple. Hold it there for about ten seconds and the heat from the spoon will make the pimple smaller and less noticable. Otherwise, if you can.. find an acne product with salicylic acid and apply that to your acne. It works very effectively to get rid of any pimples within a day or so <3 [ gr8fruit's advice column | Ask gr8fruit A Question ]
