Direction For Application

  • Clean your face of all the dirt and grime with a mild cleanser. Pour a few drops of your regular mouthwash on to a cotton ball.
  • Gently dab it on the affected area. Let it sit for about 15 to 20 minutes. Rinse it clean with cold water.
  • Use the mouthwash in a limited amount, as an excess application can dry out the skin. Once done, follow it up with a light moisturiser.
  • To erase the sign of the pimple completely, you can also dab a small amount of toothpaste on to the pimple-prone area. Toothpaste contains benzoyl peroxide and sulphur that are known to reduce inflammation and control the spreading of the pimples.
