  i wouldn't dare use toothpaste to wash it on my face. if use it, then i can forever say goodbye to my face just wonder, if it really works, why beauticians, doctors, scientist, don't even say it can be used?? hehe

  me neither, oni use it on pimple individually.
  
  i like charcoal facial wash too.

  Well, of coz u dun see experts recommending it..coz technically it's not made for the face..it's for the teeth. Well, of coz there're reasons to worry abt skin probs but since u dun use it tat often...there's reli nothing much to worry abt. Besides, make sure u use normal cleansers and other products too. The toothpaste is just one of the products u can use occasionally.

  just curious, though. my back(the shoulder area) has tons of pimples. recently, i went to see dermartologist(skin doctor) and he gave me pills, cream and lotion. the pimples all flat now when you touch them and the skin is smooth, but the pimples are still visibly there!(it's like : the pimple looks faded and it's totally flat/smooth when you touch it, but it's obviously there)
  
  why is that so? is it because the pimples have been there for too long?(about 3 years since i saw the skin doctor)
  this kind of case, those beauty centres can cure anot?(to make the pimples disappear)
  
  thanks,
  nikar.
