Apply any kind of toothpaste to the affected area and leave on for 10-15 minutes, this is the important part!
Step3
Once the toothpaste has been on for 10-15 minutes, wash it off and pat your face dry.
Step4
Now you need the rubbing alcohol, this will dry out your pimples and zap them away, get a Q-Tip and dip it in the alcohol, rub it over the affected area and go to sleep, the pimples will be gone overnight! This worked for me and it should for you.

i tried this a while ago and almost all my pimples were gone! my mom even noticed. however i was hoping it would get rid of my blackheads as well, but it didn't do much to them..

It would only dry out your whole face if you were to put the toothpaste and alcohol everywhere. But if you apply it to the affected area only, it will dry out your pimples and that's what we wan't. I've tried it, and it works.

Well I'm an RN (few steps above a "lab tech") and I can tell you without question that alcohol does in fact kill bacteria, so it makes sense that it will kill bacteria and help dry up pimples. Obviously you don't want to use alcohol on your entire face but it's fine to use on pimples. What do you think is in OTC (over the counter) acnes products like Stridex, etc? Alcohol is the main ingredient.
Also you can use Witch Hazel, available from almost any store like Wal Mart, Wal Greens, CVS, even supermarkets. It looks similar to alcohol and won't dry out your skin as much but works just as good.
