Hello. Toothpastes in earlier times used to contain cetrimide/triclosan which are antibiotics and some people found them useful only because of this. Nowadays they don’t contain it and anyways they are not recommended. It may cause more harm than good. Use only prescribed medications by dermatologist for proper treatment.
