some1 told me that if you put a dab of it on a spot, leave it for a few hours, it helps it go away.
but i never persued it.

^ yup or rubbin alcohol. it dries out bump but i wouldn't use it for acne. I would u it only if i had one bump. if u had acne, u need to go to wal-mart and get sme acne treatment stuff.

i honestly wouldn't try the toothpaste on the acne. i tried that once and it just made it red and icky. a lot of people say it works though so if you really want to try it go ahead

Toothpaste is suppose to help get rid of normal spots but it wont do anything for acne. For acne you'll need something off your doctor.

single zits, it works. i haven't tried, but my friend did and it worked. but for acne all over ur face, probably better to just get proactiv or something.

Haha I do that sometimes when I'm out of the stuff my dermatologist gave me. Just put white toothpaste on the pimple and go to sleep.

I think it just dries out the skin, so it would dry up the pimple, I guess? I've never tried it. Probably wouldn't be a good idea to smear it all over your face though.

Yeah, it pretty much just dries out your skin. It's not good to do a lot but using it here and there on the odd pimple is ok.

Just thort I'd post here to warn you. Dont use it!
It actually just dries out your skin and doesnt get rid of the spot.. damages ur skin mre than it helps!
It may be cheap bt its crap. Ud b much beta off goin 2 buy products frm Boots or Superdrug.
I used this stuff wen i ad reli bad acne, my face was always sore, but now after using this stuff its cleared up really well. Just the odd spot any1 gets wen they r a teen.
It is expensive tho.
