Yes, but it might leave scares. And as lady we know acne scares r horrible! I have been doing this mask twice a week, it's a mix of baking soda and water that makes a paste and I mix it with my face wash. IT WORKS WONDERS!!
I had tried it in highschool, the first time I left a small ammount on -overnight- and the next morning the area was raw/ red/ and very irtitated. So I hadn't done it for awhile, however I have tried it sincr for only 10-15 mins it didn't leave a scar, and didn't neccesarily get rid of it, just dried it out quicker.
Toothpaste will work but only the creamy white kind. Only because of its drying properties. The toothpaste with the abrasive material or the gel kind won't work the same.
Make sure you don't put Alot because I woke up the next day with burnt skin! It was horrible had to peal it all off .. Toothpaste isn't a very good idea.

No. Toothpaste is meant for brushing your teeth, not to put on pimples. Just sticking to a spot treatment specifically for pimples is way better.

It works for me. Pretty good home remedy, but always remember what might work on other people might not work for you, and vice versa ;)

No use benzoyl peroxide cream and or salicylic acid toner. Toothpaste is meant for your mouth.

Use benzoyl peroxide cream no tooth paste is ment for your mouth be cause all the acid and tar can hurt your skin or make it irritated

It helps by freezing it. You will notice the acne will get dry then you can scrub it and, there, the acne is gone.
