Does toothpaste actually work to treat acne?

Actually, no: Reports from other posters on this site complain of irritated skin and rashes. Use common sense and use products made to treat acne. Save the toothpaste for your teeth.

No: Use something specifically for the acne! if toothpaste does help, a dermatologist would be the best person to tell you.
