Stages of acne. (A) Normal follicle; (B) open comedo (blackhead); (C) closed comedo (whitehead); (D)papule; (E) pustule

Repeat the cleaning procedure 1-2 times a week, depending on the condition of the skin.
Toothpaste is not a long term solution but it should temporarily work, but DO NOT pick your spots.
