Using toothpaste to get rid of pimples is a common home remedy that some people swear by.
The toothpaste contains ingredients like baking soda, hydrogen peroxide, and triclosan, which may help to dry out the pimple and reduce inflammation.
However, toothpaste is not formulated for use on the skin, and it can cause irritation or even lead to more breakouts for some individuals.
It’s best to use products specifically designed for treating acne, such as benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid, to effectively and safely address pimples.
