There are many myths associated with curing acne. Toothpaste is one of them. Apparently, the toothpaste helps dry pimples overnight. I have never tried it myself, but if you want to go ahead and let us know how the 'experiment' goes. :) Other myths include applying ice and lemon or lime to the pimple...

no it absolutely does not! all you will have is a more broken out face that smells minty lol! youre better off using a clay based mask with sulfer to dry out your pimples! (even cystic ones!)

Toothpaste will irritate the delicate skin! DONT!! use a salicylic or sulfur based treatment. Mario Badescu has an awesome zit cream called Drying Cream. It works like a concealer-dryer-upper. LOVE IT.
