Toothpaste is sometimes used as a home remedy to dry out and reduce the appearance of pimples.
However, it is not a recommended or proven method for treating acne.
Toothpaste contains ingredients like baking soda, hydrogen peroxide, and menthol, which may help dry out pimples temporarily, but may also irritate the skin and potentially worsen the condition.
It’s best to use skincare products specifically designed to treat acne and consult with a dermatologist for proper advice and treatment options.
