Toothpaste: Toothpaste is made to clean teeth and it does this very well. It is not made or intended to treat other problems and can be very irritating to the skin. You really did to ask a question, but I hope this helps.

I don't recommend : I would not recommend it as you might have sensitive skin and ingredient in toothpaste may cause more skin damage.

Not Good Idea: Using any toothpaste for your acne can cause more redness and irritation. Please don't ever do this to your face, save the toothpaste for your teeth only. See your doctor or dermatologist for examination and treatment.

Off-label use: Toothpaste is formulated to use in the mouth. It is not a cheap alternative for treatment of dermatological or gynologic problems. Off label use is generally ineffective, and may actually do harm which may prove to be irreversible.
