Does Toothpaste get rid of zits?

Ive never heard of that, but toothpaste takes a lot of stains from clothing and sneakers.

I do it and it can help dry them out faster. I put it on after I wash my face at night and when I wake up, it's not as big. So get rid of zits..no, but it will help in drying it out faster. But ONLY the toothpaste kind works not the gel.

I've heard that. I know that antiperspirant does for sure tho. It dries them out.

Nothing I know of works better at drying them out than benzoyl peroxide (10%) solution.

I've heard that toothpaste does help dry out zits. My relatives swear by it, but it has to be "paste"... the gel types of 'toothpaste' won't do the trick.

Yes it can, but im 17 and just coming out of my "achne time" I still get spots as a matter of fact I have a few just now that iv just sqeezed. I put toothpaste on because it tones down the redness.

yes it can do if you leave it on to dry supposedly it can help!

Some people think so.

"Toothpaste as a home remedy for acne is nothing new. But the question is, does it work? Some people swear by the unconventional treatment, saying that a dab of fluoride paste significantly reduces the size and redness of pimples by drying them out."

Also:
"The best preventative measure is to wash your face twice daily with a gentle soap or cleanser. Also try to avoid unnecessary stress. Refrain from touching your face frequently and always cleanse your face after exercising to prevent sweat from clogging your pores."

No, but it can help tone down the redness.

This myth has been around for ages, and came about because toothpaste can be drying, and the logic behind it is that it can dry up zits, which will eventually lead to their disappearance.

I vaguely remember putting toothpaste on mosquito bites for some reason?!

Either way, I know some who swear by this so it may help for some, but there are far more irritation and reactions you can get rather than healing. Also, fluoride toothpaste have been proven to make pimples worse.
