Can toothpaste get rid of pimples?

No: Nothing has ever been scientifically proven or demonstrated! use tooth paste for your teeth--use other specific skin products for the pimples! good luck.

Yes, drys it out ;..: Toothpaste and most other neutral ph. "clean" drying agents can "treat" the symptoms of acne pimples just like many otc acne treatments. Also, it is possible that the antibacterial agent triclosan found only in colgate total may have an additional minor therapeutic value as well.
