    Default Is It True That Toothpaste Helps?

    I've read at a lot of places that Toothpaste can help reduce Acne, I was just wondering if this has worked for anyone?

    it might help for someone as has some antibacterial properties but its not the recommended treatment for acne. It might even irritate your skin if your skin is sensitive.

    I don't have any acne but my parents tell me to put it on when a random pimple, or black head comes out. It does work, it makes it smaller so it doesn't look as bad. Well that's probably just me, everyone has different skin and there's always different tooth paste.

    I wouldn't use toothpaste to treat acne, instead look into changing your diet and other options...

    I used to use toothpaste on my pimples when I was younger and less conscious about what I put on my skin. And, yes, it works. However, you can get similar if not better results but using kaolin based face mask. That stuff, at least, was designed to put on your face
