Does toothpaste help clear up acne ?

No: There are many preparations such as benzoyl peroxide that can be purchased at the drug store that help with acne. There are also prescription medications for acne. Toothpaste does not help.

No: Does Acne Creme work to clean teeth? If you have Acne DO NOT use toothpaste as it may actually harm your skin. See a Dermatologist before you harm yourself.

No it does not: I've answered a dozen or more posts about people who've irritated or burned their skin trying this. Use a product or medication intended for acne and save the toothpaste for your teeth.
