does toothpaste get rid of zits
Report Abuse. Yes, if you have a big cyst-like pimple, cover it in toothpaste before bed. I don't know how or why, but it will help dry out and shrink up the zit! It's not meant to cover your whole face as a regular daily face cleanser though. This is for spot treatments. Oh, and use regular (white) toothpaste, not the gel stuff.
