neminly	DO NOT USE TOOTHPASTE AS A TOPICAL PREPARATION. It is a dermal carcinogen. That might be WHY it is not used in acne products. It will increase your risk of skin cancer on every spot your choose to apply it! You cannot ‘cure’ acne. It is a normal, healthy biological function designed to trap and expel toxins and bacteria from the skin. It is similar to sneezing to expel dust from your nose or coughing to expel mucous from your lungs. However, you can help your skin perform its routine tasks with routine maintenance, similar to dusting which reduces sneezing. You skin is the largest organ of the body and has quite a few functions: ~ It helps to regulate your body temperature. ~ It helps to trap and release toxins and bacteria through oils and perspiration. ~ It helps to keep bacteria and environmental toxins from entering your body. ~ It helps to retain moisture to prevent dehydration. Here is how you can reduce break-outs: ~ Clean without chemicals that can be contact allergens that increase sebum production. ~ Protect and moisturize with natural Vegetable oils. ~ Remove as many environmental toxins as possible from your home.

TaraLee	It does to some uncomplicated acne. But all it does is dry it out. You might as well use Hydrogen Peroxide USP 3% to 10% solution. It's what they use in most acne medications so you might as well just buy a big cheap bottle of it at the pharmacy. It's a Topical Antiseptic, if you always use it the pimple will most likley not come back. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
