Toothpaste is not an effective treatment for acne and can actually harm your skin. While some ingredients in toothpaste, like alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, and baking soda, can temporarily dry out pimples, there is no scientific evidence to support its use for acne. In fact, using toothpaste on your skin can cause irritation, dryness, and even worsen your acne.
Instead of using toothpaste, consult a dermatologist for personalized treatment options that are safe and effective for your skin type.
