Has anyone ever applied toothpaste to their pimples before bed in order to try to reduce them over the nigh?

Yes I Have tried this if I had a really annoying pimple or one I wanted to rid myself of pretty quickly. It did seem to work but not on many pimples just if applied to one or two.

I had never heard of this, but it makes sense. As the toothpaste dries, I can see where it would draw things to the surface. I am thinking that this needs to be an actual paste formula and not a gel?

I tried it a couple times, and it seemed to work for me. It's something that my sister swears on, and she does not have any acne problems anymore either. Anytime she gets a zit she just puts some toothpaste on overnight.

And yes, it needs to be paste form. I have found that the gels do not work.

I tried this too and amazingly it worked. I've heard as well that is must be the paste form or you are wasting your time. I have never tried the gel so I couldn't say either way, but I am gonna with what works, and the paste does the trick.

I tried and I have to say it worked very well for me, I mean, I used it for one night only, and the results were amazing, don't know if it is healthy...

That was a suggestion to me by grandma. It did help minimize and dry the pimple up. I have actually forgot about it!

That's cute! In heard the same thing from my grandma years ago too. It worked okay for me, not every time.

Yes I Have used this method. Of course it is not for a full break out but rather if you have an annoying pimple or two.
