Toothpaste on breakouts?
Well, it depends on what type of skin you have. Some people will claim it works and some people don%26#039;t. For me, I have dry skin and I tend to break out a lot. So I use it, because it burns for me, I tend to take it off real fast. My acne would go away in a day or two. Therefore I don%26#039;t think anyone can tell you how effective this stuff is until you try it.
Reply:apply it all over the break out skin then wait for ten minutes and then wash it with warm water
Reply:Personally, don%26#039;t try it. I%26#039;ve tried it before because I had major breakouts, but it really DOESN%26#039;T work. Of course, I%26#039;ve never tried it long enough, but if I were you, I wouldn%26#039;t waste my time. Try some Clean N%26#039; Clear face wash. It WAY more effective than...toothpaste. Also, it leaves your face all sticky and for hours you smell like Crest. It helps your teeth; only your teeth.
Reply:really?! I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THAT!
Reply:i heard you leave it on a blemish over night. iv never tried it but i heard it works.
Reply:It works fine. Dries out the zit. Put it on before bed and wash off in the morning. A little dab is just fine.
Reply:use something like crest the white stuff, not gel, dab it on , let it dry, leave it overnight.. worked for me...
Reply:Toothpaste often contains menthol, which can help dry out a pimple. But other common toothpaste ingredients can also irritate the skin. So its a catch 22. There are much better over-the-counter options than toothpaste, Try some of the on the spot treatments. Like neutrogena.





If you must try toothpaste. Make sure its the white one and not the gel. Also do not spread it all over your face, just directly on the pimple or zit that you are trying to decrease. You will see a difference its best to do it at night before going to bed.
Reply:yes it sometimes does actually work - because it drys the pimples out. it may not be the best solution because it can irritate your skin and make it very red and blotchy!


best thing for breakouts drinking lots of water!
Reply:does it really work?
Reply:It works ONLY if you use the paste kind of toothpaste, not the gel. Basically, just cheap, general toothpaste. It can be used to dry out oily pimples. Put it on before bed, so it%26#039;s on overnight. I tend to think you could get the same results with a salycilic acid astringent, though.
Reply:well well. i have it on right now, and this is my first time with it on. I have no idea how long to leave it on, so im going to guestimate, 35 mins. or so. I suggest the minty kind of tooth paste because i can feel it all tingly! ha. well i suggest just trying it because if it can kill the bacteria on your teeth, it can kill the bacteria on your face. You should also make a honey mask, well actually just put a layer of honey on your face leave it on for ten mins, then wash it off.And drink lots and lots of water, 10 cups a day.


Good luck!
