Does toothpaste really help get rid of zits?
It dries up zits, but in the long-term, it can negatively effect your skin anyway. Typically, what happens is overdrying, but the chemicals weren’t meant to solve that problem anyway. For me, what happened was, I spotted it on my surprise pimple and the zit shrank…but it wasn’t completely gone. It could only get smaller to a certain point, but the color was even more noticeable than it had been before. The shrunken zit took forever to go away. Really, face wash has always been much more effective. Clearasil has something in a tube that cleans my face very well, and Neutrogena’s foaming face wash has also helped me get rid of acne fast.
