Toothpaste and spots

I have tried toothpaste but it hasn't worked ithink if you mix black pepper with water and dab it on your spots before u go to sleep it will help get rid of some but not all..

We all have different skin types so toothpaste will work for some people and not for others. I have had acne for 2 years or more and i have just tried everything and some things do work but not for long. If your friends are true friends they should be understanding and supportive..

Hi. I sometimes use toothpast. I don't think it works that well. It has reduced some of my spots but i dont think it can get rid of all of them. But maybe if you try something and stick to ti for about of month you may see results whereas if you try it just for a few days or a week you may not be giving it enough time to start workin on those spots! It really depends on your skin type. For some people toothpaste is not strong enough so you should try something like tea tree oil or lavender oil to get rid of marks/scars from previous spots! If only spots just never came! how much easier would life be?.

Toothpaste works a bit it sucks the puss or liquid from the spot and drys it off so it crumbles it away after a few weeks.

I get quite a few spots around my forehead, because i used to have a fringe. i herd toothpaste works from a frend so i tried it out. i found that if u leave it on overnight it will dry out the spot, and then during the day the best thing to do is wash and let the sun dry ur skin out. good luck

Hohnestly you shouldnt realy be putting creams or nothin on your face because all the ingredients just clogs the spot....... just massage abit of antiseptic cream until it disapears then rinse your face with warm water to get rid of your dirty pores then rinse with cold water to close the pores back up it does work so try it hun xxxxxxxxx

Toothpaste might work on some people, but on others, not really. All it does is dry your skin, which is why you might have the impression the spot is gone.
Clearasil contains alcohol, which also dries your skin.
The best thing to do is use a product alcohol-less, like Clean & Clear, morning and night.
Don't forget to exfoliate x

Well i am 13 and i have had spots since the age of about ten, i have tried all of the lotions and potions such as clearsil an nuterogena but now i have a solution. I keep to a facial routine, every morning,when i get home and night i quicly wash my face with hot then cold water then at night i apply a layer of sudocrem for 30 mins gently wash off then 10 mins after i apply a small ammount of toothpaste. but i have a trick that nobody knows, whilst ur in the bath or after a shower lie back and put an egg white on ur face and stay still, then 30 mins after take it off, i do this every 4 days, it works wonders irecommend it too all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
