Both baking soda and toothpaste raise the ph of your skin beyond the range that's optimal for bacteria. Make sure to neutralize afterwards. Killing the friendly bacteria on your face can leave you blotchy

Try eating a yogurt with 5 or more different strains of probiotic bacteria per serving and wash lightly so that you're not sterilizing your face. If you have an older family member with great skin brush cheeks the next time you hug to get thier superior bacteria colonizing your face too.

Yes it leaves scars but don't belive that it will dry up a big red pimple in 1use try using a pure benzol peroxide or salicilic acid formula to dry it out but don't over do it!! goodluck

It might work, but it is NOT good for your skin as a spot treatment. Neutrogena makes a really good spot treatment

it made me Breakout worse.....lol. I used baking soda and water as a face mask and it reduces the redness and dries up the acne :)

Fyi Minors should not use salicilic acid/aspirin at all. Even trace amounts can lead to Reyes syndrome blindness or death.

There are ingredients in tooth paste that are irritants to skin. Better off just getting a traditional spot treatment made specifically for acne and leave the toothpaste for your teeth.

Ive been battling with acne for how long i cldn't remember.I did try using toothpaste but its too strong for my face to adapt with it.My advice is try calamine lotion without menthol and toner with no alcohol such as rosewater or witch hazel.Hope this helps;)

Toothpaste is a good idea for pimples as long as you use moisturizer after the treatment or you can get very dry skin around area

Ive personally never done it as ive heard mix reviews. 469) Avoid using toothpaste on pimples as a spot treatment. The chemicals in the toothpaste may be to harsh for the skin, and the fluoride in it can dry your skin out and leave scars.
I personally LOVE the lemon juice method! You apply lemon juice to a cotton ball and leave it on your pimple, i usually leave it on for 5 mins and wash it off with cold water. Then in a couple hours it will come to a head
