Toothpaste and acne?

does putting toothpaste on acne overnight actually work? i already use cleansing cloths morning and night i just wanted see if there was anything else i can do. im starting to (once again) break out. i no it can dry the skin out, but i dont have serious acne, just a few on my face. and what else can i do to keep the skin moisturized.

Toothpaste and acne?
I heard that too, but I tried it and it didn%26#039;t work... Than I found this thing in Target called Acne Free %26amp; it%26#039;s like ProActive but a lot cheaper and I personally think it works WAAAAAY better... than again that%26#039;s just me! But I don%26#039;t have a lot of acne either, so that%26#039;s why I didn%26#039;t want to actually start buying ProActive (i just got this free trial thing from a friend) since I don%26#039;t have such a suvear case. Anyways! I think you should try it it works sooooo good, it%26#039;s only $17 or 18.99, it%26#039;s well worth it and like I said, I got mine at Target, but I%26#039;ve also seen it at Wal*Mart.





I wish you the best of luck getting rid of your acne, I know how much of an a** it can be!


Much love!
Reply:yeah my mom tried it and all her acne disappeared and I said okaay awkward
Reply:it does dry your skin out, but it also contains many other chemicals that aren%26#039;t good for your skin, so stick to putting it in your mouth and buy products specially made for drying acne to put on your face.
Reply:eh, toothpaste is kind of iffy, it%26#039;s never really helped me that much. my advice is to try Tea tree oil....it works really well! (you just apply it to spots...i think you can buy it at whole foods stores)
Reply:NEVER PUT TOOTHPASTE ON YOUR FACE! its for your teeth not for figthing pimples. i know that so many people swear by it and so many people say that it works but its not good for ur face in the end. u should stick to stuff that is made for your face and make sure to drink a lot of water!
Reply:toothpaste works if you have oily pimpes. you know the kind. you just puta little dap of the paste kind NOT the gel kind (the paste kindis old school but thats what works). so yeah thats basically it...
Reply:umm hun that would burn so bad


whoever told u to do that was outta their mind


use clearasil or however u spell it


it works really good
Reply:My daughter just started a cream given to her by her dermatologist. It has reddened her face and caused irritation. He has samples of the Cetaphil in his office. The wash and the moisturizing lotion. When I called about the redness and irritation, I was told to moisturize her face about 5-10 minutes before actually putting the cream on. This will allow her skin to soak in moisture first. What I bought was Aveeno Positively Radiant Daily Moisturizer. It is very clean smelling and not greasy at all. It seems to really do the trick so far. It is fairly expensive but it does seem to work. The cost was around $14.00 for 4 oz. There are several kinds, acne, oily skin, ect but this is the daily formula. I know Aveeno is good for Chicken Pox bath and for skin irritation. I really like it.





Best of luck to you.





Sorry I forgot to mention, I wash her face with Cetaphil cleanser first. It seems to do really well. But you can also buy the Aveeno cleanser too. TheCetaphil moisturizer is a bit greasy to me. That is why I do not use it.
Reply:I%26#039;ve read putting toothpaste on acne overnight can work...but I%26#039;ve never had any luck with it. The idea behind that is that it will dry out your zits. Just keep using your cleansing cloths and I bought a St. Ives face moisturizer at Wal-Mart...I%26#039;ve tried all different kinds Clinique and everything...this one really works! and you get a lot of it for only $5 I use it every morning after I wash my face and right before I go to bed at night. It%26#039;s amazing my skin looks so much nicer. If you are having problems with zits though here%26#039;s a good way of hiding them...buy some clear eyes or rohto soak some cotton balls in the clear eyes and put them in your freezer, just so you have them ready... The next time you have a big red blemish just put the cotton ball on for a couple minutes and you should be ready to apply your make up! The clear eyes takes the redness out and the cold takes the swelling down. Hope this helps!!!
Reply:yes it works
Reply:That%26#039;s a myth, the toothpaste just dries your skin. If you don%26#039;t have serious acne, just wash your face with any soap but regularly during the day. Five times a day is quite good, and specially when coming from outside. Drink at least two litres of water a day, I know that%26#039;s what everyone says but it really works and will do wonders for your skin, and your health. Or... you can put toothspaste on your face and later on you%26#039;ll find yourself washing your teeth with shampoo!
Reply:It doesn%26#039;t make the zit totally disappear but it will take away the swelling. With a little bit of makeup you will hardly be able to notice it at all. If you need a moisturizer Bath and Body works has a really good soy facial moisturizer.
Reply:Apply a little toothpaste (non-gel) on the pimple overnight. It will dry out the pimple. More home remedies available at http://www.wellnesstalk.org/acne.html
Reply:Yes. An excellent remedy for pimples or acne-prone skin can be made by mixing 1 teaspoon ground cloves with 2 tablespoons fullers earth and ice water. When you wash your face, use sugar to scrub it, at least once a day, for two weeks to rid yourself of acne. Check out http://useinfo-acne.blogspot.com/ for more useful info.
Reply:I tried it once, and when I woke up the next day, the whole side of my face was swollen!
